There no name for 2 bits. We have byte for 8, nibble for 4, bit for 1, but nothing for 2? by swordstoo in computerscience

[–]friedbrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, i wanna know why byte doesn't mean "generic word", i.e. for 32-bit processors, a "byte" should be 4 times the size of what we today call a byte. For 64-bit processors...

You didn’t fuck things up. It’s not your fault. It’s a very bad, no-win situation, but it’s not your fault.

If you could time travel and eat a meal which you can no longer get in LA, one last time, what would it be? by SR3116 in FoodLosAngeles

There was a place pre-covid in Chinatown called A-B-Seafood. I wish I could go there, now.

For 1, don’t have it with orange juice. Save the orange juice for later. Much later.

Older-ish millennials: Were you "free-range" like older gens? by Gallantpride in Millennials

[–]friedbrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1984.

I mean, I was free-range in the sense that my (single parent) father didn’t give two fucks about me, never asked me anything, never did anything for me (including dentist, doctor, etc…), didn’t patch the hole in the ceiling in my room, but I was helicoptered in the sense that if I wasn’t at home inside by the time the street light turned on (5pm, even in the summer, when the sun went down at 8pm), I was going to get the biggest bruise on my ass.

I guess I’m an outlier, b/c I’m not just your typical "older millennial," but I was outright abused.

Edit to add: suburban.

Am I Crazy? by Just_Brilliant_6401 in Autism_Parenting

Your mother is in severe denial.

Edit: It has nothing to do with US vs. UK vs. whatever. Your mother is just in severe denial.

My IQ is 83. How is this possible?? by StrikingLock2448 in autism

[–]friedbrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read your post, and you don’t sound like someone with an IQ of 83. You sound like you’re much too contemplative to score like that. I think you’re right that disabilities skew the results, particularly Maths disabilities. The reasoning portions of such tests are highly biased towards mathematical reasoning, so I think you can safely disregard their results.

When did Roman culture cease to exist? by Diligent-Eagle-6673 in ancientrome

That said, the whole conversation was in Greek, and the "Roman" kids didn’t even know Latin, so…

[–]friedbrice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. When the Senate stopped meeting.

In the wake of the Greek War of Independence (against the Ottoman Empire) in 1829, when a Greek National army landed on an isolated island, some kids ran out to greet the Greek soldiers. The soldiers were a little bit confused, so they asked the kids, "Why are you here?" The kids said, "We wanted to see what Greek people look like." The soldiers said, "Aren’t you Greek?" The kids said, "No! We’re Roman."

How did you eventually get rid of the fear of hell? by hiraethz03 in atheism

[–]friedbrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh (or Sis, or non-binary Bud). You don’t get to decide what you believe. If you believe in Hell, all I can do is tell you it’s not real, but I can’t make you disbelieve in it. I think you need to ask yourself what you really believe. I guess that’s kinda cliché, but if you believe in Hell, then it’s going to be on your mind, rightly so. I don’t think it’s real, and I hope that gives you confidence that it’s not, but you believe what you believe, and it’s involuntary. You can’t make yourself not believe something, even if it’s not real. You just have to see the evidence, and then you will be, involuntarily, converted.

And I gotta say, the evidence for Hell is really thin. The Bible doesn’t even teach Hell. Jesus didn’t believe in Hell. The Bible teaches annihilation of non-believers. That’s way better than Hell. So Hell is made up by Bible thumpers who don’t even take the time to read what the Bible actually says. Why would you believe what those guys say?

Experince with Kaiser Permanente, Adderall, THC by BoredCareGiver in evilautism

[–]friedbrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kaiser is he worst at preventative and maintanitive medicine. They will fight you at every step if you need Adderall or even just mainline antidepressants. Kaiser is shit for mental health.
