In the same way that their AWACS planes weren’t involved in helping the IDF bomb Gaza?

Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers

Which number base is more convenient depends on how you do arithmetic. In ancient times people thought mostly in integers and rational fractions, and highly composite numbers with lots of factors were convenient, as you could divide a number like, say, 60 a number of ways, getting integer results or simple fractions. Later, decimal approximations came into fashion, and factors of 10 as in the metric system became more fashionable. In the days when computers were small and slow and code needed to be hand-optimised, base-2-based representations were used (for example, graphics systems that represent angles with a full circle having 256 degrees rather than 360), though now everybody just uses double-precision floats and hopes that the accumulated error never gets big enough to affect results.

Except that they called it “Internet Time” without so much as submitting a RFC to IETF.

Big “Nation’s Stray Dogs Call For Increased Wino Vomit Production” energy there

Wasn’t Simon Jenkins the thinker who asserted that Ukraine should surrender and NATO should leave Russia’s “traditional sphere of influence”?

That’s what UUIDs are for

You wouldn’t need to distract yourself with games when you and some comrades could just go out and build socialism while singing hearty pioneer songs together.

The sound fidelity of vinyl is measurably inferior to CD-quality digital audio, as the technology introduces various kinds of distortion. Some of these are perceived as “warmth”, and/or bound in with the ritual of playing the record, so some people see it as a plus.

I’ve bought a few records in recent years, though have never actually played them. I bought them for the artwork, and listen to the FLAC files that came with the Bandcamp download code.

Brooklyn originally wasn’t technically part of New York.

This and the GIMP is why they shouldn’t let software developers name things.

He looks like a fighter

So, an antisemite?

Does iOS use RCS everywhere, or only if your and/or the recipient’s phone carrier are specifically supported?

Ninajirachi would agree

It’s well known that many scientific/technical conferences have an unofficial furry kink track

They’re based in Sweden, though traded on the US stock market, and have a lot of staff in the US. Also, their union-busting policies (in Sweden and elsewhere) are out of step with Swedish industrial relations norms.

Isn’t that just a malapropism?

Which is also why the religious right is more prominent than the religious left. The latter are individuals whose faith tells them to serve others, the former are organisations calculating how to gain more power.

Swedish has done this. The result is that their orthography is a lot more straightforward, but Swedish texts from >100 years ago are harder to read.

Having said this, given recent cultural and commercial connections between Poland and the English-speaking world, one would expect English conventions to seep in, and this looks more like a descriptivist adjustment than anything else (right down to the conservatives having kittens about it)
