Total ordering doesn’t mean that the order is strict though. You can have multiple individuals with the same level of gayness.

Total ordering means all elements are comparable (=< would be a suitable relation), not that all elements have their individual rank (< relation).

A spectrum implies that the set is totally ordered but not necessarily strictly ordered.

They should’ve said “all other inhabitants” to remove the ambiguity.

Well personally I don’t care that much. Going there is probably also a lot of faff. If it took 5h to get there “door to door” maybe. I understand the people who would like to go there, though, I completely get it.

To be given the chance to visit a safe friendly alien planet inhabited by intelligent species, now that’s something I’d like to do. Probably more for the cultural experience.

Are you really getting updates though? Samsung latest phones are expected to be getting updates for 7 years but as far as I know the s10 range isn’t officially supported anymore. Samsung don’t need to provide security updates to your phone anymore. I think the last one was Q4 of 2023 and it made the news because it was unexpected.

I get the message but who ever said they were self made?

You could also read it differently nowadays 15 years later with all the emissions scandal. Probably wouldn’t want to trust Volkswagen with such statements huh.

Sudden increase is key here.

So you are criticising the over simplification presented here and I agree with you.

I would however point out that although I also don’t like the binary aspect of their blurb, I find that I would quite agree with their final sentence. I don’t think the test shows whether we are a good or a bad person, but it does say something about a person’s ability to fit in a society.

What’s “wrong” in your question is the assumption that a) the only reason religions exist is the lack of knowledge and b) that the knowledge we have answers all the questions that people seek answers to when they turn to religion. I think if you question these assumptions then you’ll easily start to find the answers. Otherwise see all the other comments.

This article really sounds like it describes an alternate reality to me. Interesting to see how many people in the comments seem to hate self checkouts but here in the UK they seem to work fine. Shops seem to have found the right balance. In the same shop you’ll have queues advancing rapidly at self checkouts and people run tills with shorter queues for customers who prefer the human interaction.

Do a lot of people put their voice on the internet “as much as they’re able to”? It sounds like that person may post their voice online more than the average person…

In the meantime to “take advantage of Brexit” it will be possible to sell wine by the pint… A push to go back to the imperial system was axed though. Maybe brexiters should move to the US if they like the imperial system so much.

Are people hating twitch for real or is it just for the meme (of better than twitch etc)?

Are millennials the new boomers now? Or is this meme about older generations making fun of millennials? I can’t follow anymore.

And the last time I saw her being interviewed she didn’t seem too bright either.

And gradients/Gouraud style shading everywhere.

Would be good if they also force companies to support security updates for more that 5 years…

I don’t need to change phone. I like my S10+. It does what I need. But I feel I’ll have to change it soonish if I want to continue using for online banking etc.

Cheers. All the best to you and your loved ones for 2024!

Yes I realise I’ll have to make it clearer next time. Thank you.

I see. Really weird to hear about these old school boomers’ mentality. I thought they were the minority because “why would I work for you if you say shit like that?” In the tech industry where I work this wouldn’t fly. Or companies push for rto just to push people out. But I can now imagine how it can be in other industries.
