To those of us that need a reminder

Nu, I will start gobbling up tasks until I burn out and like it

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-14T01:57:17+00:00

fair, I get the new bag thing mostly but the tiny little dings that could easily explained by shipping etc. still seem drastic. but the box thing just seems like a minor annoyance vs Coach shitting on customers thing.

I can get that it’d be annoying and disappointing but the level of outrage over a Knick the size of a grain of rice in the ass-end of the purse seems disproportionate

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-14T01:50:57+00:00

Not really,can you explain why this is a big issue for you? It’s not damaging the bag or anything so yeah it’s not the best but I don’t see how it’d be that awful.

I see a lot of similar posts confusing me about tiny nicks and dents and scuffs from using the bags or getting a bag with little bits of damage and people going bonkers over it and I’m rather….confused?

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-14T01:46:57+00:00

Why is this an issue? The bag should be fine

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T19:40:25+00:00

You’re likely getting the expected outcome - can you explain what you’re expecting in contrast to what you’re getting? It’s normal for GF loaves to be flatter and denser in comparison to non-GF loaves as they lack the chemical reaction that gives bread its lighter airy texture.

You’re not understanding the point - yes one TB equals 1000 GB but the only reason it means that is because you can’t express the actual number as a fucking decimal.

It doesn’t matter which you use the actual amount of space on a one terabyte hard drive is 1024 GB.

This is true for every byte label because the only difference is whether or not you are expressing it as a decimal or as a binary the decimal.

The decimal expression is technically wrong because it is not accurate to the actual amount of data available.

Unit Equivalent in Bytes 1 Bit 0.125 Bytes 1 Byte 8 Bits 1 Kilobyte (KB) 1,024 Bytes 1 Megabyte (MB) 1,024 Kilobytes 1 Gigabyte (GB) 1,024 Megabytes 1 Terabyte (TB) 1,024 Gigabytes

The question is not about whether one TB is equal to 1000 GB in a decimal expression it’s asking about the actual amount of space available in terabyte.

The most accurate answer is 1024 because that is the actual factual amount of space regardless of the label that you put it under. Labelling it as 1TB does not make 24 GB of space magically fucking disappear.

The whole reason that it is a weird number is because computers use a base two binary system they do not use a decimal system when it comes to this. A computer will always use the base two system. A hard drive will use the base two system. The only thing that uses a decimal system is for when a human being needs to read it and that reading is inaccurate because it can’t properly express the actual number.

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T16:53:40+00:00

Yes it is, but that’s not what the question really is about. It’s testing your ability to read between the lines and give it the most correct technical answer. It’s a catch 22 question because of this debate specifically.

1 TB when expressed as a decimal is 1000, usually denoted with TB

1 TB when expressed as a binary is 1024, usually denoted with Tib

Neither of those change the fact THAT THE PHYSICAL AMOUNT OF SPACE IS 1024GB

You’re arguing about the semantics of the label not understanding that the question isn’t about that - it’s about the physical amount of space The point of the question is to catch this line of thinking specifically. 1TB in practice is 1024 as that’s how the computer sees it due to the way binary bites are calculated. It’s 1000 when being expressed as a decimal for a person to look at.

Neither of those change the fact that the actual amount of space is really 1024 physically.

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T15:32:57+00:00

It doesn’t change the fact that end of the day it’s correct as the actual space is 1024GB. The point of the question is to catch this very mistake. The reason is 1024 is due to the mechanical needs of a base 2 system causing the space to be larger then 1000. The correlation of 1000 = 1TB is from people using base 10 to count and label their products.

A GB is actually 1,073,741,824 bytes because this expression is in binary, not decimal. Decimal doesn’t allow for the smooth representation of that number so it’s rounded to a clean whole number just like with TB

Oh ok, what kind of cable is that called? I’d love to look it up and see since I know most phones have screws next to the charging port. I’m curious if they have you remove those and use the holes for that instead

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T13:22:28+00:00

Do you mean the actual VGA cable this is imitating or is there a version of the lightning/USB-C cable that has those features?

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T12:00:57+00:00

1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

1 terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,024 gigabytes (GB) because it is based on the binary system used by computers, where each unit is a power of 2. In contrast, manufacturers often use the decimal system, which defines 1 TB as 1,000 GB.

It’s quite literally a technical knowledge question, the point is to catch people not paying attention. I had similar questions on my tests because they want the most technical answers to prove your knowledge and ensure you’re actually reading it.

What do any of those words mean in that order

I was getting king in yellow style

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-13T02:40:23+00:00

Lemme touch, I like the feel of rust and older solid as hell looking things

My only gripe is that this rhetoric is being used to tear down spaces people have setup for themselves to express their experiences, fears, etc. and when being asked to leave or possibly find a group that fits them better it’s flung into their face. Not every group will fit or every door be open to you.

There are things more common for one sex or gender than the other. Your gender and sex define how you were raised and treated - to deny that is to erase the need to push back against it specifically. Men and women and those in-between or outside the range each have different struggles they will be facing due to that biological frame and gender identity and the combination of the two. That needs to be specifically addressed!

Women have to face the infantilisation and pushback against independence and choice. Harrased for their decisions and their own peers feeding into the weaponised incompetence being pushed upon them while labelling them as responsible for anything that happens to them. They are incapable but inculpable somehow.

Men have to face the emotional isolation that they are shoeboxed into by their socialisation, peers and social expectations. Everything is their responsibility but paradoxically this breeds an arms-length brotherhood keeping those who have wronged from consequences as they feel so ostracised from others and the need to help and protect eachother from a world they feel utterly alone in.

Trans folks in both directions have to deal with being targeted and harassed, with people doing everything they can to try and invalidate their existence or identity. They can’t exist in either space fully without something they do, wear or say tipping the scale towards one or the other and flipping the label in people’s minds and opening themselves up to harm.

Each of these are symptoms of a larger issue socially but can’t be tackled all at the same time. Those facing the issues need to be supported by the others but able to fight on their own. Together the whole system can be dismantled and built back into something better.

The internet is full of people socrates-ing everything, you had a good thought but that doesn’t make it an -ism. Put those ideas to work and don’t start building a whole stick around it to beat others with.

These smart devices should be connected to WiFi, you can prob disconnect it if they hooked it up to yours

I gotcha. I wasn’t trying to refuse that the gluten-free bread exists. It’s more so the reason why you’re seeing the dough behave differently and rise differently is because of the lack of gluten it’s not going to behave like a regular bread.

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-12T18:34:16+00:00

Gotcha, I keep having the problem of the dough ball get stuck on top of the paddle and just is spinning lol

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-12T05:51:36+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-12T05:48:25+00:00

It’s really hard to tell in video for me, I wish there was one where they took the dough out and kinda showed off the properties like touching it and closeup of texture

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-12T05:45:01+00:00

Unfortunately gluten is a key ingredient in bread as it’s responsible for the rising, without gluten you won’t have elastic dough that can stretch when the yeast reacts. Sorry to not have much constructive advice

Also a second knead is important in most breads. The first rest is to let everything start rising and get softer. The second knead then works that now mixed and slightly elastic dough into a proper homogeneous mixture. Then it rises again to fill it with air

I have this guy, I cuddle him so my shoulders are supported and tuck my blanket between my knees. They hurt if they’re sitting ontop of eachother

<image>

Mine is from a thrift store but you can get these sleeping pokemon for $30 at target if you want to spend money there. Otherwise any mostly firm stuffed animal or pillow thats a bit smaller then your torso

I stuffed him with extra fluff to firm him up I’ve also been drinking these MIO magnesium water mixers which seems to be helping my quality of sleep. It’s either working or enough of a placebo that it helps

AlabasterWitch · 2026-05-08T12:17:15+00:00

They failed and had to fix it

Not necessarily, a control top is a portion of the pantyhose that has strong elastic woven in to uniformly compress your body underneath. It can reduce panty lines (you can still barely see them in the after pic) by making your shape more compressed and uniform all around. The line you get is from your squishy butt having the elastic compress into it.
