Fuck commission based sales.

I’ve had measuring cups where all the markings come off.

I bought a harbor freight heat gun. All I’ll use it for is lighting charcoal. Very uneven heat, and will melt itself if you don’t turn it nozzle up when you turn it off.

I think all headsets fall in this category, never had one last a year without repairs. I’ve replaced so much of my current headphones that it doesn’t even look like the same model anymore.

OOP smells like a pro-putin propaganda account. Someone else doing something bad doesn’t make your own acts of murder any more justifiable, especially when you’re murdering someone completely different than the wrongdoer.

You can scan a document to PDF, sometimes the default orientation isn’t correct.

You mean you don’t open the terminal and use mkdir?

I mean, so do I, but it’s not something I ever needed to do on a phone.

Oh, you mean characters that are actually on the keyboard. I thought you meant stuff like ‘Δ’ or ‘°’

Do you know how to create a directory on your phone? Lots of kids have never used a desktop/laptop, just phones and tablets.

That’s not one helpdesk needs to know, unless you’re in a specific niche where it’s relevant to how your normal users interact with your product. (For example, some backend service, where your users are web devs)

Yes, helpdesk should know the basic steps that happen when you power on a computer.

I put it on full power until part of it starts boiling, then reduce power to low until it’s heated through.

Does a grain of sand have agency? Does it want to be caught by a specific size of classification sieve?

Because that’s exactly the level of agency that drives natural selection.

Genes don’t have agency either.

Modern geocentrism

kinda. It’s more that “center” of the universe can be picked completely arbitrarily. I can say I’m the center of the universe, and when I spin on my chair, the universe revolves around me. You can define the frame of reference however you wish to. The change of perspective does not change how orbits work.

Lunar effect – the belief that the full Moon influences human and animal behavior.

by that short definition sure, but probably not how they mean. If you’re active at night, the amount of ambient light is surely going to impact your behavior. Not so much in areas with artificial lighting.

Memetics.

Insofar as there are self-replicating ideas, and the ones more likely to self-replicate become more prevalent…sure. Not the whole story either, as ideas can also be pushed by people that don’t believe those ideas.
