So prior to Win 7 or so, Ctrl+Alt+Del brought up the task manager. Now it brings up a lock screen from which you can select additional options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc pulls up the task manager, like it did back when you learned it.

Why not Ctrl+Shift+Esc?

Having an open mind is great and all, but once you’ve gathered enough information to take a position you’re not obligated to coddle those who remain willfully ignorant. I’ve personally never found astrology “fun,” it’s stupid woo that encourages people to adopt other stupid woo. At a time when anti-intellectualism is being institutionalized into government policy (in the US at least,) I don’t see how anyone in good faith can actively encourage that.

Normally I’d accuse you of doomsday speculation, but he already proposed this:

Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.

That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.

Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.

Same. I’m playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. I’m likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe I’ll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.

It’s pay in the US. Your country’s customs are not universal.

A knockoff iPhone charger from China. I plugged it into my computer and it literally caught fire.

Cries in USA.

Wong says the team’s new vaccine could also provide protection against coronaviruses that cause influenza and the common cold.

Ugh science reporting is terrible. “This new tool could stop the cockroaches that cause bedbugs.” See how stupid that sounds?

Influenza is caused by influenza viruses.

I link this article every time the discussion comes up:

The first paragraph is a doozy.

I actually did pick this up after a minute or two.

Expert consensus has a different role than the OP. It’s a statement made by people who are intimately familiar with a body of evidence and are consolidating the many narratives of that evidence into clear statements.

Yes, it’s not true merely because they say it’s true. It’s most likely true because these experts have analyzed the thousand tiny individual pieces of evidence out there and have determined they are all pointing to the same key conclusions. That’s not an argumentum ad populum, that’s analysis and interpretation. Ignoring that because you saw some TikTok video is the actual fallacy (argument from authority.)

Article doesn’t even say what the data shows. Did it go from 1000 cars per month to 1001 cars per month? Did it go from 10 cars per month to 1000 cars per month? Because some scenarios are more noteworthy than others.

Finally, these child groomers will be brought to justice:

Don’t step out of this house if that’s the clothes you’re gonna wear

I’ll kick you out of my home if you don’t cut that hair

Your mom busted in and said, “What’s that noise?”

Aw, mom you’re just jealous, it’s the Beastie Boys

Only took 40 years.

Yep, linux runs way lighter than Windows and will probably run much snappier than you expect.

Authoritarianism

Shit, I can’t get Windows to print on my network printer. Have to uninstall it, reinstall it, manually set the IP, restart Windows, and then it’ll work for like one session and then not work again. Windows won’t even throw an error, it’ll just tell me it printed while my printer sits silent.

On linux it works every time. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even try to print in Windows anymore, I just forward all documents to my laptop and print in linux.

This brings me back. My guitar teacher had this on his wall back when I was a kid.
