5·4 days agoMagician sounds really close to magi-chien - or magic dog. Commonly used to teach enunciation for ‘standard french’ (which is total fake like received pronunciation is too)
This joke is better in french

This is clearly a tender fail. Byte code can be emulated for a fraction on that price. And it’s a two or three man job with a rota
Lol, sure, that happened
F-Droid is the single biggest reason that Android is actually usable. And the only real reason Google aren’t getting sued for monopoly practices. If only ReplicantOS was more viable

Found it’s niche may be a better way to put it. Technology is very active, programming is full of good content. A good few meme communities. And the daily comics are great too. Plenty more examples. But plenty of communities pale in comparison to reddit, and this is likely due to the normie effect.
Techologists lead normies by 2 to 3 years, so give it another year yet before people migrate in bigger numbers
9·2 months agoEveryone talked about tanks as ww1 winners. But people don’t quite realise the stupendous artillery advantage the allies had. 2 or 3 to 1 by the end of the war in places. And significantly more shells. There’s a reason we are still digging then up today
2·2 months agoThat’s so evil, and given Enterprise’s cancellation mid season also: perfect
11·2 months agoNo, maslows hierarchy of needs mandates a lack of savings equating with a lack of stability at lower tiers and hence your employees will fail to function at higher levels. So you need to pay more than minimum rates in every role, everywhere, if you want to actually have people and not worried as fuck drones.
Now, how much more depends on local factors - but here’s a quick rule: if they add value to your business pass on about 25% of that profit from that individual. Finding a profit for a person can be challening, this is why you get a HR person and accountants.
About fucking time
Yup, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=horse+gas+mask&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images - loads of varities though I’m not sure on numbers deployed. Due to the rather static lines of defense I do believe the second world war actually saw more horses used! The nazis were always scrambling for oil and petroleum and thus they utilised stupendous amounts of horses
The thing about air: there’s a lot of it. Not many gases take that long to settle/dissipate. And a gas mask is pretty effective at filtering. I do imagine worst case scenario in the heaviest bombardment is a brief evacuation of current line of defense only, as this is what happened back in the somme. It was far more effective vs artillery: artillery regiments weren’t equipped as well and thus they were denied counter battery fire for enough time to allow front lines to cross no mans land. Which were backed up by creeping barrages, which I haven’t read much out in Ukraine yet
Gas in WW1 changed the battlefield for about 6 weeks whilst they scrambled for gas masks, but after this it didn’t have the effect either side thought it would. A stupid distraction that will earn Putin and his generals a trip to the Hague for sure
Yet no planet to be found! And they’ve looked. I propose a micro black hole instead, much harder to spot with similar gravitational influences
