It’s normal. He’s just as confused about the idea of a Borg queen as everybody as they watched First Contact.

It’s just a matter of cutting and adding some mortar.

People stopped being snobbish about knowing what those words mean about a decade ago. It would be an useful slap on the face of those people back then, but now if it’s useful it’s only for calming down some random person that know what they mean but isn’t confident about it.

They explain it on the beginning of the movie. Max has one of the 2 or 3 cars on the city because he’s a road-cop, fuel is expensive as hell, so they insist he shouldn’t use a lot of it.

The criminals there go from city to city stealing the little fuel they have.

You want Mad Max? Well, better make it happen fast, because there won’t be enough oil for it!

Mad Max is about the end of oil.

The first movie was all with ethanol vehicles, that people converted after oil run out. The second movie is about a group of people that found an old tanker ship, and one pulling oil drop by drop from a dead wheel. The third movie is about people using methane for everything because there was no more oil.

And then the next two are about huge reserves of surface oil all over the place.

Using the same lights for shooting objects and people isn’t a great idea.

Gnome used to have a link to your homedir in its settings directory.

I imagine plenty of people had tons of fun with that. But you need to modify rm to follow symlinks nowadays.

Yeah, that site was good before they started rejecting every useful question.

It used to be much better than anything else that came earlier. Nowadays the odds are even that you’ll find your answer on the experts-one.

But what do you do when M > 6N?

Good. Now cover it in huge colorful feathers.

(Don’t let the fact that it’s wrong stop you.)

Python still has the -i option, and it still runs the same language as the files interface.

It’s a scripting language. What means that the computer runs it line by line, without needing to get the entire project first.

not object oriented

I don’t think we have a name for what you are trying to say here.

(And yeah, “object oriented” isn’t it.)

I’d restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.

When again did medicine discovered that woman benefit from anesthetics when inserting an infra-uterine device? Oh it was by 2025…

There is a burner at the end. And a nicely designed foot that fits under things and isn’t too unstable.

I honestly don’t know what of this he invented and what we just standardized after the fact. In fact, all of the 3 elements are different from the one I have and the one on the image.

Hum… Galileo would like a word about that…

No way. Everybody in LD is highly intelligent and competent… and has no professionalism at all.

I’d be wary about learning history from a professional gold bug.

Somehow, all the civil wars, popular unrest, and separatist movements aren’t even mentioned. And Spain did learn a lesson about that “less gold and silver entering Rome is the real problem” thing a thousand years later.

My personal hypothesis is that everybody was half-asleep through about a third of the episodes of TNG.

It certainly reaches some high peaks, but the series average isn’t as entertaining as everybody remembers it.

While I don’t necessarily understand the finer points of the meme

None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.
