Those who aren't vegetarians/vegans need to calm down about others eating meat that belonged to certain animals just because they have an attachment to a member of their species. Yeah, I understand, social mores, but you're being hypocritical and cows are sacred in India...
We should ditch ethernet, coax, and copper completely for data transmission. Everything should be fiber cable. Fiber internet to the house, fiber throughout the house, etc.
You can do it, but the transceivers cost more. I have a fiber optic USB cable with embedded transceivers for long range use, beyond what USB can normally do. It was about $120, IIRC.
Also, for Ethernet, you can't do Power Over Ethernet, which is useful for some devices.
Static typing can kiss my ass.
The only reason you like it at work is because you are surrounded by idiots.
In order to get a correct hit from a bong, the chamber must be small, filtration heavily limited, and the water should be slightly warmer than body temperature.
These guys rocking three filtration chambers on a bong that's bigger than a tower speaker are wasting their life and their money, and getting a very poor experience relative to what's possible.
If a state isn't at least partly in Central Time, it can't be in the Midwest.
Obviously not all states in Central Time are in the Midwest, either, that's just the lowest bar.
You can leave salt out of 90% of dishes without noticing.
I’m not going to downvote you for stating an unpopular opinion when you were asked for one but I think you crossed a line here, pal…
People keep talking about increasingly higher amounts of preformance in computers with no real world practical use case. Aside from tech journalists the average person doesn't really care about 4k or 120hz, companies should focus on hardware quality instead.
There are many entirely-valid ways to write out the sound of laughter including endless variations of "heehee," "heh-heh," "hahaha," and more, but I believe "hehehe" is just incorrect.
Putting your license plate stickers all over the plate rather than where it’s supposed to go should get your vehicle impounded. No one thinks you are clever for making your license plate look like it has a taskbar, Kevin.
It annoys the hell out of me and for the love of god I have never been able to understand why that thing in particular bothers me so much.
Shitty five dollar frozen pizzas are better than so-called “gourmet” pizzas.
I wouldn't say better, but I would agree they can be just as enjoyable.
When I was in university, we got one of these open, rotating, infrared "pizza ovens":

Then we'd get the small, cheap frozen pizzas without many toppings and put one on it and keep stacking more ingredients and cheese and stuff on it. As it cooked, the smell would waft through the place, and more and more hungry guys would show up and stare at the thing as it approached being done. When it was done, we'd share it out and do another until everyone was happy. Was a good experience.
There is an epidemic of people mixing up the usage of the words “is” and “are”. Use “are” as the general catchall word.
For third person singular subjects use “is”.
There is a game. There are games.
Uncountable things use “is”.
There is the forest. There are the trees.
Are there people? Is there a person.
Are we there yet. Is our destination close?
If the subject uses a definite number use “are”.
The team is going to the game.
The fourteen players are going to the game.
my gut reaction was that this is probably something to do with AAVE but I cannot for the life of me think of an example I've actually heard someone say, and I was living in the rural south for a couple years where the average education is... less than ideal...
maybe it's an ESL issue mainly? I'm almost certain I'm messing up the Spanish equivalents rn stumbling my way through a Spanish speaking country rn 😭
can you think of any specific examples of someone making this mistake? I'll give you a dollar if you find one in this comment of mine (I'm not proofreading it :3 )
Green olives for snacking, ~~blue~~ black olives for cooking. The other way around should be a crime.
