You're right, actually

I've had this argument in VR with Russians, living in Russia, in Russian.

<< Fluent Russian Translated to English >>

• Some cultural markers may be difficult to understand •

Interlocutor: "Yes, but what geographic block is it part of?"

Naz: "Asia, it's on the continent"

I: "But Asia is a landmass and Western Europe is on Asia as well technically, but they are not Asian are they?"

Naz: "They're as much Asian as you are Eastern European"

Let's say you're given two ways to travel faster than light:

Star Trek Teleporter/Matter Reassembler

And

Shuttle through the Wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant

Which would you prefer and why?

I know someone who was working on the Teams codebase. Even they don't like using Teams (it wouldn't open properly on Ubuntu for some reason).

I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

"What the hell am I doing" and also: "Would I do this if I were 53?"

I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: "Youth is wasted on the young. You're young. Enjoy this opportunity."

I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.

Imagine breaking down while fishing, raising your engine, and setting up a distress call and being excited to see an American vessel approaching to help.

It then stops, trains its guns on you, and fires explosive shells.

Got in 4.21 seconds, my ceiling caved in because a helicopter dropped a pallet of money onto my house

After paying for repairs of the roof the money is gone

Fickle pigeon!

Holy hell. What an insightful article, well articulated, well-written.

This guy knows his stuff!

Weirdly enough, only Debian has the most "OSy" logo of the six:

Why a devil for BSD? Why a pufferfish for BSD?

It feels like I'm looking at different IBM OS/2 patch disks and Debian is like "This is the one where we made it not crash"

An important question for science, what Linux distro are you currently on?

And if not Linux, what OS do you use?

Brings microphone uncomfortably close
