Why is the text so weird… Is this AI generated? It’s gotta be.

That word… I think it means exactly what you think it means.

Have you been listening to the podcast A Problem Squared? This was a topic of the most recent episode (095 = Friday Fears and Disco Spheres). Friday the 13th is very slightly more common than other weekdays for the 13th.

these amazing fears of engineering

😱

Could have been just an obvious spambot with no relevance, but that’s just a guess.

I’ll take your advice even further: I won’t even try to look up what a “discord kitten” even is.

Wow. Only desperate marketing would call that a function.

The page says two functions, what’s the second one?

(and to all smart-asses out there: what’s the first one?)

This was the topic of an episode of the podcast That’s Absurd, Please Elaborate, which I highly recommend. Unfortunately I can’t find the episode right now. https://thatsabsurdshow.com/

Oh boy, have I got good news for you!

I am not an explosives expert, but I’ve seen enough YouTube videos about explosives to know that not all explosives explode in fire. Some are incredibly stable at extreme conditions right up until deliberately triggered. It all depends on the type of explosives.

There may still be ways to detect them, but it’s not necessarily going to be that simple.

Thanks, but I hope I won’t have to resort to that. I didn’t even really try yet, when I reached that fight I only tried it twice and then it was already time for me to go anyway. And I’ve been procrastinating it ever since. So I didn’t give myself a chance yet.

Tunic.

I reached a really difficult fight and I kinda just noped out. Will need to give it a proper go sometime soon.

You wouldn’t turn up the volume when you know the scene is meant to be quiet. Or at least, you wouldn’t turn it up so high you can hear the background noise at the level you want to hear dialogue.

Laptop keyboard layouts. There is no reason they should be so different.

Specifically, those laptops that have full-sized left and right arrows, but half-sized up and down arrows - those earn 1 week of jail time for the CEO per unit sold.

While we’re at it, the power button must be in the same place on all laptops.

This is not as straightforward as you might think. If there’s an actual quiet part it would amplify the background noise.

I can get behind this one.
