So. Funny story. Back when I was incredibly new to Linux, I was trying to move everything from my downloads folder to somewhere else. So I navigated into the downloads directory on the command line and sent something like

“sudo mv /* ~/misc”

when I meant to type

“sudo mv ./* ~/misc”

Yea… That was a fun learning experience and hilarious way to utterly fuck everything on that machine. Luckily it was just an old laptop I’d installed Linux on to mess around and learn, no real damage done

Pure water isn’t a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren’t the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.

I’m a filthy degenerate so that’s probably true

I’ve noticed that the nerd meme communities here are just as, if not more, pedantic than the ones on reddit

Edit: oh yea that’s also literally the first thing I thought when I read the post, whoops, I’m also a pedantic nerd, I just didn’t bother commenting it

I mean, I agree with you, I’d never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it’s used in the professional world.

I’ve had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren’t real engineers.

I’d rather use something else, but if it’s what the group already uses, fine, I’ll do it

Also, I don’t do a ton of true programming on it. It’s a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it

I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd

Edit: I wouldn’t call Matlab my favorite though… But yes I use it. I mean, I’m on Lemmy… Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I’d say python is probably my favorite

Let make man people puns

Idk what I’m saying I just wanted to rearrange them alphabetically

I’ve literally never heard anyone call it A.P.P. (and I mean that literally literally, not figuratively literally)

Is this a specific cultural thing? A generational thing? Geography based slang? Why would anyone do this.

Proxies. I have several full decks that are all fake cards printed from high quality proxy printing sites, ~$30-40 per 100 card commander deck, not sure how tariffs changed the cost, haven’t ordered recently, but it was not a US based site. Obviously not legal in competitive play, but I only play casual amongst friends

Oh hey, I do all of these on a regular basis. And regularly got in trouble as a kid for being forgetful, despite the fact that I was a smart kid with good grades. Maybe I should talk to a doc…

Paleontologists across the world have been holding out on us! I demand they release the fossils of all the cool raptors!

I didn’t forget, I just don’t know which direction that one ran off to!

This implies the existence of an acceloraptor, and even better, the jerkraptor

Ok that’s a new one, never heard of a butt clench back pop.

I can do pretty much every joint aside from hips and elbows. The loudest are my messed up shoulders from when I used to swim competitively. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me it’s the loudest shoulder pop they’ve ever heard.

I immediately started searching this up on seeing the article. Should’ve known someone in the comments already beat me to it. Thanks for the links!

You got another one to read it :)

Some actress with boobs. I know her from White Lotus. No idea on the ending wokeness part because I don’t follow the lives of celebrities outside of checking IMDB to see what else they’ve been in.

Edit: I tried to look into it a bit. Something about the fact that a conventionally attractive young woman with nice breasts is gaining popularity means it’s an end to all the body positivity and other wokeness? Idk, I’m not doing more than 5 minutes of looking into it

I also saw that her grandma has seen her nude scenes and said “she has the best tits in Hollywood” and that’s just hilarious

The sand tiger shark also doesn’t have a drink… So it also captures how I feel on first dates as a recovering alcoholic
