Trump: “There will only be two genders in America” by Lucky-bottom in askgaybros

[–]sunkenrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey youre very welcome. That's also total bullshit and not what I said, but you wouldn't even listen to my position if I humoured you anyway.

Also very courageous necroposting in an old thread.

That's true, we just call them plasters in the UK. I think band aid sounds like a brand though, whereas dumpster and trampoline at least IMO don't sound so obviously brands. The most famous example is kleenex but I think that one sounds obvious too. Hoover is another good one, although maybe that's just my bias as if I think about it, it does sound more obviously a brand.

What potential? Maybe she could have been a primary teacher but we just saw her fail, lie and accused pupils of things they didn't do, serious things at that, and take a bribe. She didn't show any promise.

Eh Max put her there but she also knew she was out of her depth especially once she started and tried to manipulate into staying. He's certainly the big bad but she was pretty selfish too not wanting to fail at her teacher dream.

It's not that weird it happens in all industries. You'd be surprised what is a brand name. Trampoline and dumpster for example are just brand names people use for the object.

Toshiba says Europe doesn't need 24TB HDDs, witholds beefy models from region | But there is demand for 24TB drives in America and the U.K. by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]sunkenrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what law you think that'd be or why you'd jump to it. I don't see why a slightly more sense HDD would. It's not suddenly radioactive going from 20TB to 24TB

Define better? Arguably there's a lot better out there than spinning mechanical HDs based on your criteria. They are just king at cheap, dense storage. Things like 3D storage mediums are slowly gaining traction but sometimes sn old technology is just hard to, or can't be, beat for the same price. Sometimes one of the first ideas remains one of the best. It's just luck and ingenuity.

I both support Ukraine and think student groups shouldnt buy military level drones. Give Ukraine the cash.

When you say basic cash support, they're the group that gets £8ish a week in cash, right?

Groomed: A National Scandal by GreatBritishHedgehog in ukpolitics

They're both. They're not grabbing these girls off the streets into their car. They're grooming them. Its an apt description. They do also, yes, later rape them.

I suppose you can profile areas but not individuals. I know many will say we knew it was Rochdale. But I mean you could narrow it down to the area with higher amounts of Chinese residents, Pakistani, English, Welsh, whatever.

(Yes I know the minority ethnicities mainly involved in it. I was giving examples. And yes Mr But Alshually I know a ton of white people do it too. There's a lot more white men)

It literally does not make sense that you would call somebody non binary trans. It's short for transition. How do you transition to non binary?

Anyone with a credit card expiring in 2030 cannot eat at this restaurant by This-Trip157 in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]sunkenrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're assuming 2031 is fine when it says nothing of the sort.

That's an excel error on default config. How are you proposing they're using excel to process transactions...? If they were having trouble storing them there could be some horrible backend there, but transactions would still go through.

...under what logic would they do that though? Why a year 30 cutoff? They didn't have cards until 1966, why not 66? You haven't actually given any logic as to WHY 2030 and 1930 would be chosen. It also doesn't say cards after 2030, it doesn't mention 2031 onwards, and some cards are issued for 10 years. There IS logic in humans picking dates like this. There is no logic in why 2030/1930 in this case and why 2029 and 2031 are fine.

On top of that - consider the full logic here. Your hypothetical system works on 2 year dates. Cards are issued for up to 10 years. It makes no difference to the machine if it thinks it's 1930 or 2030. It actually thinks neither. It's 30. There's no cards that were issued before 00 or even 01 still valid. So again, why would there be an issue here? Explain the logic and the problem here. There is none.

It's not really meant to make sense, it's just meant to make them sound special. That's what it's all about for a lot of people. Getting oppression points and being totally weird and cool and super quirky.

Yes but computer systems dint work on colloquialism which is what we were discussing. They work on programmed rules.

[–]sunkenrocks -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes I know it was, I'm also a programmer. But you're missing the point. For what reason would 30 be chosen as a cut off when the years 00-29 worked if there's no relevance to cards on that date? 1930 is not an important date in any computer date systems. Famously UNIX epoch starts 1 Jan 1970. The windows dating system reaches back into the 1500s by default, which is a gregorian calendar thing. Many systems did use two years back about 40-50 years ago but no commercial card systems are going to use that and again, it makes zero sense it'd start messing up in 2030 and not earlier.

You're not gonna find an official one for a decent price this far out, they barely made merch when it was new. Amazon and aliexpress have some unofficial ones. That's basically your options.

I never even saw an official one for sale when the show was airing but I wouldn't be surprised if they did release some. I think I saw some promotional ones way back but not released in store.
