My microwave boils a cup of water in less than 2 minutes.

Nowadays I use a trackpad for almost everything. I do use a mouse at work but then I mostly use keyboard shortcuts for everything I can (Excel really flies when you know some keyboard shortcuts).

Ahhh. I use command-click to open in new tabs.

I haven’t played a game that uses the mouse in several years. I mostly play Roguelikes such as NetHack, DCSS, or Caves of Qud using keyboard controls only, or console games with a controller.

I have never used a CAD program though sometimes I’ve thought about it.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever wanted to click the middle mouse button. The experience of having done so once or twice was bad enough to get me to rebind the action to something else.

Middle mouse paste was great on true 3 button mice. It became a liability with the invention of the mouse wheel, which made it a total crapshoot to try to click that damn button without rolling the wheel at the same time. It’s a classic case of overloaded functionality.

Like imagine if cars put the accelerator into the steering wheel, so you had to press the steering wheel down to accelerate. Everyone would hate it and it would be a safety nightmare. We put up with things on computers that we never would in other areas of life.

No, that’s the thumb of the guy on the left. He has his hand over the other guy’s mouth to shut him up.

It’s from the movie Predator. Watch it. Fantastic movie!

Rust users are informally called Rustaceans and there’s even a book for them:

What is this? An argument to bring back capital punishment?!

Yeah that’s quite silly. Every single employee at my office is issued 2 monitors to go with their company laptop. People working from home get the monitors shipped to them. It’s the standard setup in tons of offices as well as for many home users.

Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!

Wouldn’t the guy see his chat history with his mom and be suspicious?

People other than Chinese restaurant owners buy fortune cookies?

No. The comic is talking about airspeed: speed relative to the wind.

It records an air speed of 0. Isn’t that working exactly as intended?

Sure you can. Just need a pitot tube!

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that.

I would say if they’re not paying you what you’re worth then there’s a few possibilities:

1. You are less important than you think you are
2. You think you are less important than you are
3. They just underpay everyone and don’t care if you leave

That one has a simple answer:

Wild pollinators are nice for us home gardeners but they cannot sustain the high production of commercial produce farming.

If we went to a no-domestic-pollinator system it would dramatically cut food production and jack up food prices.

Or just ZZ for me since I’m rarely in insert mode (I just press esc quickly after making an edit out of habit).

I guess not many people remember that Microsoft was convicted of antitrust violations against Netscape (which effectively destroyed that command).
