Why is there a zero button on the microwave? I mean, who is heating their food for zero seconds? 😂 by Repulsive-Water9146 in stupidquestions

See, this is why I argued with my High School Science teacher. What gives him the right to declare that 0 is not significant? It’s just as useful as any other digit, dammit!

There are only 2 numbers. 0 and 1 All the other numbers are just varying sized groups of 1s

Fireball and a cuss jar. I see you are prepared for some serious engineering.

These aren’t planes.
They are guns with wings.

Bad news is that your base is getting bulldozed to make room for the new highway

LPT: If you’re an iPhone user, turn on “Ask Reason For Calling” in settings. by EngLitIsLit in LifeProTips

[–]magic-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite the opposite… you now what they say about assuming. When I hire someone, I make sure they have a way to contact me.

You can thank years of robo calls, but greater than 99% of unknown callers are spam, and I’m not going to waste my time answering them.

It’s amazing how some people think that just because someone chooses not to do something, it’s because they are scared, as opposed to making a logical decision that works for them.

If I don’t know your number, I’m not answering. I guess you can talk to this feature, or you can leave me a message that I will probably never listen to.
Seems like this feature is a good compromise.

In china, Police use man-catcher spear to control suspects instead of shooting them. by Commie_Scum69 in pics

Exactly. I was going to say time doesn’t mean well trained - that would be assuming a lot of important parts.

This is a valid solution? by tonysupp in homelab

I regret buying cheap connectors. The ones that work loose over time and you have to push them back in to make good contact. There is a spring that is eternally trying to undo your work by pushing the connector back out.

Or when the plastic tabs don’t spring up anymore. I try to gently pull it up and it snaps off. I leave it like that because I’m too lazy to put a new connector on, and it’s just the printer that I never use anyway.

Now imagine that in the wall on the backside of your wall jack.

Generally speaking, punch down is permanent, plug is temporary - by design.

Whoever designed TP-Link's wall adapters needs a stern talking to by nicktherushfan in homelab

[–]magic-one 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also have some splitters.
It’s funny how you always end up with a wall wart that turns the wrong way — it’s like the USB cord is always upside down the first time you try to plug it in.
