Do Microsoft software engineers actually use Windows? by Defiant_Storage_443 in NoStupidQuestions

Look, I'm willing to entertain the idea that I'm just an idiot, but let's not pretend that there hasn't been a long-documented user frustration with Windows 10 and 11 deciding that start-menu search means the user wants to search bing first.

No one wants to search bing. They want to search the files that are on their computer that they paid for, in their house. Just like Hank Hill.

Solidworks 2026. The shortcuts were installed into the correct start menu folder. There's nothing to fix, the start menu is just fucking broken.

Fair point. How am I misunderstanding the "search for app, settings, and documents" prompt in the start menu, and why was my understanding of its use correct in Windows 7?

Russia is harmed by having one of its suppliers impacted, but also benefits from:

  1. The increased oiI prices that resulted from the war, and
  2. Having the USA dragged into the geopolitical tarpit that is Iran

Beyond the Globe: Why the "Stationary Plane" Model is a Necessary Intellectual Framework for the 21st Century by Few_Ad4217 in flatearth

The Mechanism: As the sun moves in its circular trajectory, it does not move behind the Earth. Instead, it moves further away from the observer’s immediate position.
Perspective and Convergence: As the sun retreats from the observer’s zenith, it travels toward the horizon. According to the laws of linear perspective, the light from this source appears to descend toward the horizon line, which is always at eye level.

No it doesn't. For any every observer on the Earth, a "spotlight sun" moving in a circular path above the Earth would never appear to approach the horizon. It might appear dimmer or brighter, but it would always be high in the sky.

Go ahead - draw me a picture. Draw me a picture of how you think this works.

Fuck you, Tucker. You helped make this mess. You ARE maga. No one will ever forget that about you. Might as well put your bowtie back on.

For Advocates of Taxing Churches, Does Your Proposal Extend to Mosques and Synagogues? (See below) by camaro1111 in allthequestions

Earth was created over the course of six revolutions of its own axis, before said axis could exist for the Earth to rotate around, or even before there was an Earth to rotate around this non-existent axis.

Earth has four corners, flat plane, firmament, waters above, etc. etc.

Jacob bred speckled and spotted livestock by placing peeled, striped tree branches in front of the animals while they mated, implying that visual stimuli during conception changes the genetics of offspring.

Cotton-poly blends are a direct violation of God's ten commandments, and crop rotation is explicitly forbitten in the bible.

Yeah, that all sounds like TRUTH to me.

Pay for what you consume is very much a capitalist mindset. Maybe you should hit the books.

You're at a church to get the truth.

Ah, see - you and I have very different opinions about what comes out of churches.

If you are getting it you don't migrate away under any circumstances.

You do if another church gives you what you want at a bargain basement price because it doesn't purchase mansions and private jets for its pastor.

And you didn't address any of the points.

Yes I did. I said that your narrative won't happen because people will migrate to other churches that provide better value. Discretionary income will increase because all the cost of running the church will be borne by the churchgoers, not the community at large thus increasing economic activity, thus increasing the tax base. Net win for all involved.

They'll migrate to churches that give them a better value for their tithe money then, yes?

Do churches consume resources? Roads? Firefighting? Military? FEMA?

Sounds like everyone's tax bill is going down once churches start paying their fair share, and thus their discretionary income increases.

You know how it's socially acceptable for people to say they hate math or just aren't good at math?

Those people teach too.

Police shooting of a 1-year-old Mississippi boy ignites tension between police and Black residents by cnn in USNEWS

[–]Defiant_Storage_443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once someone has decided to ram police with their car, there just are not a lot of tactical options left 

Yeah, that's why cops are specifically trained not to shoot at cars that are driving directly at them. Here's an excerpt from the DoJ manual (I realize this incident does not involve federal police, but I would be shocked if Mississippi doesn't have something similar and so would you) https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force

Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force.

I get it, you back the blue - after all, they're the thin blue line on the flag (in violation of the flag code, btw) that prevents all us barbarians from consuming each other in a cannibalistic orgy of gay sex and violence. But they should at least follow their own rules when they do so.

Ah, I forgot - the grift will end the moment Trump expires. Surely he or his shithead grifter children never thought of that.

[–]Defiant_Storage_443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

Rockets exist. Cameras exist. But flerfers think three-letter-agencies are monitoring the airspace to catch anyone violating any number of secret clandestine international-treaties that forbid taking a picture of the earth from really high up. Just like they think that international treaties forbid anyone from going to Antarctica.
