But more importantly, I’m furious that infinite excluded hugh

Lol, somebody forgot the sound of trees.

After joking about this at work, I landed on the most cursed scale I could think of… pT = log10 FPW.

Pros: no bottom to scale, increasing negative values asymptotically approach absolute zero. Water freezes at zero.

1 pT is almost exactly the melting point of iridium. Lightning bolts are around 2 pT. Boiling points of neon and helium are in the neighborhood of -1 and -2.

All I can think of is a gruff, blue collar worker coming home, covered in oil stains. He hangs up his hardhat and lunch pail at the door. “You would not believe the day I had!” He says, “Some jackass put the 9 dies in the 6 press, and I had to spend all morning trying to pry open the hydraulics without fucking them up. After all that, I get a call that the serifs are too long on the ones and they’re getting sorted as sevens!”

doesn’t cost money, “Free” is probably not the right word, lol

Oh my sweet summer child.

The “disbanding” of the pandemic response team is largely misrepresented. I don’t disagree with the rest, or see how it’s at all relevant to the current conversation.

I like how you’re so high up on your horse that not only does is your team too good to have enemies, you can doublethink away any use of the term as impersonal.

Agreed.

I used one but not the other because my best interpretation of modern social sensibilities is that “whore” is not considered terribly offensive when it’s directed outside of its more literal sense, whereas “queer” is only acceptable in positive discussion of non-heteronormativity.

The second gear- usage just comes from a time (and communities behind the times) where the slur is used more broadly to mean “anybody I don’t like.”

I genuinely don’t care.

I think with many hobbies there’s a two-sided trap:

If you buy the absolute cheapest, you can end up hamstrung and unable to progress. On the other end, you can get caught up in having the very best, and miss out on actually progressing because you’re convinced you just need to buy a better one.

I’ve heard “gear whore,” as well as harsher q-slur that makes it rhyme

Everyone who doesn’t stand behind me absolutely is my enemy.

Not even a “yes, but…”

“Tesla builds factory on farm” is the kind of hard-hitting journalism we need.

It’s not elitism… It just costs more to turn food into something it isn’t than it does to turn it into something it is.

If I wanted to make a bag of beefroccoli to help vegans transition into eating meat, it would cost a fortune!

It’s worth noting that vegan and gluten free foods are not more expensive… Substitute foods are
