I can not see the font issue? Don't have X11 installed to compare. As someone who went Wayland years ago this seems a bit silly to complain about

So, two people were barely able to push one container around the cargo bay and SOMEHOW they got them all stacked two containers high.

Crusher and LaForge prepare to evacuate the cargo bay of all oxygen. Dr. Crusher is really happy about it.

I appreciate that this series, Into the Night, has actors of different nationalities speak their native language where/when it makes sense for the characters they portray, but it bugs me that they use Dutch and Flemish randomly as descriptors in the subs. While technically it's correct to say [speaks Dutch] when the Belgian is speaking Flemish, I've also spotted them use [speaks Flemish] when the Dutch guy is talking plain Dutch.

"16 cubes" it says. If that's a cube, I'm a monkey's uncle.

It also says "Just light the wrapper" and "odourless". If burning plastic is odourless, I'm the ****ing monkey!

I want my money back ;-)

A box of individually wrapped "ZIP" firelighters, claiming to be odourless, and cubes. One is taken out of the box. One dimension of the firelighter is less than half the other two, and I'm obsessed by facts.

Dmitri's magnum opus on Go style is basically a shrine to 🀏, where even the smallest deviation from the sacred Go gospel is meticulously cataloged for eternity. πŸ” Why bother rewriting rationale when you can just send a link, right? πŸ“Ž Because who doesn't love being schooled on the minutiae of code style by someone with a passion for pedantry? πŸ™ƒ

@ogili @listeningclub @akx thing is, the punk cuts lean towards nihilism rather than active resistance… am I ??

@woj @ogili Ok, well, yeah, but actually doing records where you're stretching out *as if* onstage, rather than doing 3:39 minute semi-pop tunes that act as ground for jams in performance>

I wonder if the author of Embers of War is American and trying to casually use metric in the way the freedom units are: "... was a small woman, about meter seven ...", just like Steve Buscemi in that gif you all imagined right now πŸ˜‹

Yes, I am for funsies, but that does read 107cm, not 170cm, and details like this bother me weirdly much πŸ˜„

@leonido @pluralistic but "exclusively vegan"? There were grilled cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise put on the outside before grilling, I think. #nitpicking

Taking a break to watch The Rings of Power. Watching mithril get melted down in a crucible and am surprised it takes such a low heat to do so. Those are yellow flames, and not all that hot. A propane torch is hotter than that. Must be magic fire.

(I used to study goldsmithing and silversmithing a couple decades ago.)

Rewatching #LOTR (Two Towers, specifically) and one thing that annoys me is Aragorn's comment about the Rohirrim at Helm's Deep: "Farmers, Farriers, these are not soldiers".

Well newsflash, Peter Jackson, welcome to medieval society. The only "soldiers" out there were mercenaries and the nobles. Otherwise it was indeed your farmers that did the fighting.

Hey Mathstodon, I've seen some of the following statements in calculus class:

\[lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^2}{x} = \infty\]

Is... is that allowed, actually?

Yes, I know that for arbitrarily large value of $x$, you can make that $\frac{x^2}{x}$ arbitrarily large, but can you say that both halves of the equation are *equal*?

Like, is that sound? Or... what's the term, even? Is \(\infty = \infty\) even defined?

The feeling when 87.5% of the discussion under your contribution is about #bureaucracy : unreliable CI and insignificant #style #bikeshedding .

Congrats, the project has created a barrier to entry for anyone who hasn't been into it for years already.

Hint: give everyone a freaking #linter that satisfies your needs and let us move on to actual work, without having to redo the same stuff 8 times. Sheesh.
