I do too. I think some people don’t understand it’s shortening “best regards” or “all my best” and instead think it’s saying “I’m the best”. At least that’s what one co-worker said to me. But I still use it.

I’m not saying subs is perfect. But comms has a much more predominant existing meaning: “communications.” It’s not clear what you’re referring to. While “sub” does have some existing meanings like “subscription” or “submissive,” those aren’t as pervasive meanings, and in my mental map it’s more associated with a subreddit or Lemmy community, so that’s what I’m going with.

And proud of it

Listen, “comms” is a terrible name for this concept. I’m calling them subs until something better comes along.

If you read the article they seem to think it’s impressive. But you’re right, it would be interesting to know how this rate compares with other countries when they went through electrification.

Holy shit I had to tap out. The casual, informed way they talk about fucking dolphins conveys how much time they must have actually spent fucking dolphins.

I like it

Did they add a stun gun sound effect to that video? Seems way too loud and crisp from that distance

This headline reads like a threat

Yes, because Elon Musk is such an asshole people can’t seem to help themselves from talking shit, even when it’s misguided.

They talk about the safety record of Saturn rockets without mentioning that using those isn’t currently possible and then talk about cost per ton of falcon without acknowledging the same design process that created that rocket is being used to make this one. Falcon also had a fair number of explosions before the kinks were worked out and now it’s launching so often that no other company or nation is even close to the same cadence.

And it sucks! Because I’m interested in space, and SpaceX has done very impressive things, and it’s owned by this fucking jerk.

What the fuck kind of comment is this?

Can you say more about sync stealing your data? I must have missed the memo.

At the time I’m reading this the title notes that this design is from 1985. Here’s an article I came across with more info.

It’s funny how the onlookers in Everett True are always so happy that he’s beating a stranger. Like you know it’s ok because everyone approves. Reminds me of the Stan Kelly cartoons from the Onion.

Tired metric joke

Go Netherlands

My friend working at a major museum in the U.S. brought me up to the roof once, and as we were walking down dusty dimly lit halls he pointed out some pole weapons which were determined to be fake but the conditions of the donation were that they had to keep everything, so they were just leaning in a corner.

Yeah, who are they calling apex predator, take a look around.

Isn’t the question here why shouldn’t friends not let friends use CSV?
