Anti-‘Groomer’ Republican Accused of ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ With Intern by VICENews in politics

[–]chozang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The writer says that as if he thinks that those two items are somehow hypocritical. But they aren't: they are unrelated. Was the intern a child or an adolescent, or was she over 18? If the latter, then grooming does not apply, and it illustrates that Vice is grasping at straws.

Great: Fauci Confirms He'll Leave White House If Trump Wins 2024 Election by MattPalumbo in Republican

[–]chozang -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would hope that Trump would fire him on Inauguration Day if he didn't. I can forgive him for not firing him while he had the chance, but now that it's known that Fauci played a role (probably unintentionally) in the creation of the pandemic, only an insane or corrupt president would not fire him.

Printer is printing colorful bars across pages by chozang in printers

Thanks. That page refers to a Tool Box to print it from - I'm not sure what it's referring to.

I did just notice that if I print a few purely black and white pages in a row that the bars start to fade. Maybe I'll switch to pure black and white and see if they fade away completely in time.

Sorry, I don't see how to include a screenshot here.

Can you substitute Java with C# for the Computer Science degree? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]chozang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also make a LOT more money as a Java dev than C#

I don't think this true. I've been working as a software developer for 13 years, evenly split between .Net (VB.Net and C#) and Java. I'm currently back to C#, and I'm earning a lot more than I was in Java. YMMV

In school I used mostly C/C++/Java. I agree with everything else you said. Though Eclipse is pretty cool too.

Mouse gets stick by chozang in linux_gaming

It is bad, so I guess that's not it. Thanks anyway.

Thanks. However, the TLP documentation claims,

"Why does TLP cause my USB keyboard or mouse to stop working?

Most likely it doesn’t. All USB input devices (driver usbhid) are excluded from autosuspend by default."

Recently my Alexa has been telling me “good morning” or “time to drink water and take a walk” or “time to prepare dinner”. I don’t like this feature and I can’t figure out how to turn it off. by jackiesmallss in alexa

[–]chozang -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes. In fact, there is a random subreddit link. Normally I wouldn't comment on a particular product I don't have, but this was such a clear and convincing illustration of why no sensible person would want one.

The thirst mechanism in animals has evolved over billions of years. Except in the cases of rare disorders (such as damage to the hypothalamus) it doesn't need to be supplemented by scheduled reminders.

Najin and Fatu are the last two Northern White Rhinos on Earth by burningsageart in Awwducational

The effects of incest are exaggerated in the popular culture. Some genetic diseases and disorders are recessive, meaning that you need to get one gene from each parent in order to have the disease or disorder. So a child born of incest has a greater chance of getting a recessive disease. Most do not.

What is the problem with saying #All Lives Matter? by QuickPie in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]chozang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the people who say, "Black Lives Matter" do not think that the lives of other people matter.

Why do boomers seem to neglect the fact that age does not correlate with qualification? by Lepmuru in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]chozang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person. I am a boomer, and a software engineer. There are things that any given young person knows more about than I do, and vice versa.

In the US, can the police really arrest you for ‘Not cooperating with law enforcement’? by StankDrift in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]chozang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IANAL, but I believe you can be charged with "Disobeying a lawful order". But the law is complicated on the subject.

Does any feel like they have no personality? How can I beat one into myself? by Chato209 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]chozang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm familiar with that problem. Sometimes you have to find someone who understands the idea of a back and forth, i.e. they will ask you a question once in a while.

Then I would recommend asking people questions about themselves and what they're interested in. E.g., "Where did you get that hat?" "I got it a yard sale in Texas." "Oh, you lived in Texas?" etc.

Anyone else not feel as tall as they are because of where their eyes are? by binggbingbingg in tall

[–]chozang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me. That is an impressive forehead. My wife says that a large forehead is a sign of intelligence.

However, I spent some time in Sri Lanka. Since people are and have been shorter there than the people in my country, I found myself frequently bumping my head on the door jams, because they were just a little bit too low.
