That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.

We walk around with a little rectangle in our pocket that gives us access to the sum total of human knowledge, but we mostly use it for looking at funny captioned pictures, the same pictures over and over just with different captions.

It's called a phone but no one ever uses it as one.

Water is "almost identical" to hydrogen peroxide.

I have a repo with a bunch of C# projects in it, probably a couple dozen. These projects are shared between maybe seven applications.

I'm looking for a tool that can map out these projects, starting with the application startup projects and draw connections between them showing which projects are referenced and used by what other projects.

Does something like that exist?

There is a way to get genuine help from a Linux forum.

Say "Fuck this, I'm going back to Windows".

Not only are conservatives to blame for the unforgiven student debt, they're to blame for the cost being so high in the first place.

If not, can someone explain why it isn't?

What are cis and trans alternate types of? I don't think it's "gender identity" because wouldn't that just be man, woman or nonbinary regardless of whether they're cis or trans? Cis/trans just being a qualifier?

If the answer is "I am cis" or "I am trans", what is the question?

Edit: Someone came up with the term "gender congruity" and (after looking up the definition of "congruity") I think this describes what I'm talking about perfectly.

We know what causes magnetic fields and we know what their effects are, but what actually are they? What does it mean for them to be composed of "lines of force"? What is the mechanism of that force? What is actually going on in a magnetic field that the space outside of a magnetic field lacks?

Reddit is trying to go to war with the kind of people responsible for Boaty McBoatface and they think they're going to win.

Someone needs to make a regularly updated map of which instances are federated with which other instances.

Edit: Ok, apparently there's one here but there's over 600 instances and trying to show the connections between all of them destroys your browser.

That's not always a good thing. Some posts need to be downvoted.

It's hard to stay dark when the admins can put admin-friendly mods in charge of subs.

There's this toxic idea in the business world, that in order to be successful you can't just make money and be profitable, but your profits have to keep increasing year after year. This kind of runaway, cancerous growth is poison to the country and the world.

Digg used to be king. People abandoned it in droves when they went a step too far and there was an alternative. Reddit is not immune to the same thing happening to them.
