Planes fly because aerodynamics.
Helicopters fly because money.
Any type of glue is fine. Just stay away from the cardboard derivatives.
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you do with the sole purpose of annoying people?English2·1 month agoYou can find many discussions about that online, and it’s basically a BE / AE thing. In BE, it’s not correct, hence I’m annoyed a lot of the time.
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you do with the sole purpose of annoying people?English93·1 month agoI’d just like to thank you for writing “how big a deal” instead of the now ubiquitous “how big of a deal”. That would have really annoyed me.
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the longest word in your language, and what does it mean in English?English3·3 months agoI remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered “the verb, dammit, the verb!” through their headsets.
‘Get her!’–that was your whole plan?
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which well known public figure would you say is washed up and desperately trying to cling to relevance? (No politicians)English5·3 months agoYou should read his wiki page–quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you know anyone who uses drag-and-drop for text?English3·3 months agoSometimes you can Ctrl+drag (which is copy) text to those annoying ‘repeat your email’ fields that won’t let you paste.
Sardines, olives, capers.
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the dumbest thing you've done to fix a tech issue?English8·4 months agoLots of percussive maintenance going on around here, but one that sticks in my mind was testing some of the first 486DX PCs in 1990. One particular specimen from Compaq would only boot after hard power off by taking the lid off and tapping the CPU with a screwdriver. Worked fine after that.
When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we’d drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn’t matter. Until they went into production…
That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.
dave@feddit.ukto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What's stopping you from writing your Rust like this?English18·4 months agoBut you get the joke faster now.
Looks like the start of a round of Mr Thumb
dave@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you approach a group of people with romantic intent for only one?English2·5 months agoThis is the way.
How does an uneaten pizza end up in the attic? I’m so confused.
Yes, that’s the point. The limit c denies the possibility of a perfectly rigid body existing physically. It can only exist as a thought experiment.
I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.
