Asteroids, androids, the eternal yawning abyssal void…

Hey, hey, 16K
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old-school RAMpacks are much better

Hah, just a quick search for the image, but the point is that your average word processor is WYSIWYG – so much so that the phrase has fallen out of fashion, because any other concept (e.g. a TeX client like LaTeX) is foreign to your typical user. You edit the formatted document directly, and it’ll always look the same on screen and print as it did at the point of edit.

Granted you can enable alternate views in MS Word, like draft layout or web layout, but they’re not the default.

It certainly has been marketed as one, but regardless, it is one. The commenter you’ve replied to isn’t saying otherwise, they’re saying it’s difficult to achieve the desired outcome.

This is C#, isn’t it?

I desperately hope you’re right, but I suspect this is naïvely optimistic.

I’m not sure any amount of image correction will make those sausages less criminal.

You really should have lead with some of this! Hopefully you can see why your original comment, in a vacuum, wasn’t especially constructive or enlightening.

It’s no surprise that a pop sci article makes bolder claims than the paper it’s based on (even if you think the paper itself is overreaching); this old PHD Comics diagram is as relevant as ever.

I’m feeling a bit defensive about UK food in this thread, but it’s undeniably true that our sausage rolls are an absolute embarrassment. Supermarkets predictably are the worst – gristly flavourless meat in anaemic half-baked pastry. Same goes for pasties.

Anyone want to explain their downvotes?

I didn’t vote you down, but I nearly did. Project CETI, an academic group of linguists, whale biologists, underwater acoustics professionals, and machine learning experts, say that sperm whale communication is highly complex, comparable in many ways to human language, and can be described as phonology.

Random internet user with no declared expertise or experience says, “nuh-uh” and provides no substantial counterpoint, and is confused by the negative reaction.

I don’t expect you’re wrong per se if the perceived take-away from OP’s article is that whales have language to the extent that humans do, but just being dismissive without bringing anything to the table is entirely unhelpful to the discussion.

The same Gina Rinehart who didn’t want anyone to see her Vincent Namatjira portrait? (Yes.)

Easiest just to read through OP’s post history!

I’d love to see something like r/simpsonsfaces on the Fediverse, but with expanded scope. Intermediate frames in older animation can be amazing.

At around 1.7 million times the weight of the Earth, it’s not all that light.

As best I can tell, people on Snapchat and TikTok are kicking off “linkups” at an agreed place and time, and some of them are going viral.

I think the aim is genuinely to cause a bit of chaos, given safety in numbers, but I doubt most people attend with the intent of causing serious damage to people or property.

Great picture, and great story alongside it – commiserations on the film.

You’ve put Lightyears by The National firmly in my head; I’ll be humming that all day!

In what way do you feel you’re helping or being constructive with this comment? Who’s it targeted at, and for what effect?
