Iron_Lynx , to Memes in I'm feeding both wolves fully and it's not enough

Just hold on for a while. If those deer keep at it, at some point the wolves will multiply and become a greater force to control the deer population.

Unless they're the same sex. In that case, you're shafted.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in you got grounded

This is the kind of parenting that may lead to kids leaving home & disappearing from the parents' lives the day they turn eighteen.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Uncanny Valley

Am I seeing this right? Are you calling one of the defining works of Fantasy literature a "Christian book?"

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Not cool

He's right though.

Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).

Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.

I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone's mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.

With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I'd say less is more.

Iron_Lynx , to Fuck Cars in Cycling isn't legitimate transportation...apparently

And even a smaller Bakfiets will readily handle over 99% of the listed cases.

Re: legally a train
Metros and anything lighter are governed by different laws than trains. So German U-bahn is legally a tram, governed by the BOStrab, while S-bahn is legally a train, governed by the EBO

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Just one more lane

A step heavier. For the London example, think more like the Overground, the Purple Train or Thameslink. Or the many railways radiating out.

For other examples, think systems like the LIRR in NYC, the RER in Paris or the S-bahn in most major German cities. (though the Berlin one functions more as a metro that's just legally a train)

Iron_Lynx , to 196 in Reroll Rule

OwO

Iron_Lynx , to 196 in Reroll Rule

I tried swiping down with my index and middle finger, but it does nothing. I'm outta options. You're on your own. Sorry mate.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Why still using the imperial system?

Really though, the most ardent defence of USC units is fuelled by great amounts of Copium. The US Customary set of measurements is several independent systems of measurements which often radically different origins and sometimes irrational conversions, all stacked upon each other and dressed in a trench coat. For instance, the mile has Roman origins while the inch and foot were defined separately, much later, and with a lot of regional variation. The French foot was longer than the English foot, which is why Napoleon was listed as 5'2" tall while he was actually closer to 5'9", or 1.71 m, which was pretty average for the time.

Which one of these is more straightforward to calculate:

  • You are tasked with installing a rail along a 1 mile long bridge. You know you can use two half inch bolts to affix it every three feet. How many bolts do you need?

  • You are tasked with installing a rail along a 1,5 km long bridge. You know you can use two M12 bolts to affix it every metre. How many bolts do you need?

Conversions within dimensions in USC require you to memorise arbitrary conversion numbers. Conversions within dimensions in SI require you to move the comma a few spots.

Besides, if the US Customary system of units is so great, why did most of the world voluntarily switch to SI units?

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Why still using the imperial system?

With that attitude it will be. Just because it's a hassle does not mean it's not worth doing.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Glad this is becoming a meme

I recall spotting a few things about Image Generators having their training data contaminated using generated images, and the output becoming significantly worse. So yeah, I guess LLMs and IGA's need natural sources, or it gets more inbred than the Habsburgs.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in Explain how!

Not to forget the union puts restrictions on how often the boss can call you out, so you may actually have the time to play those video games.

Iron_Lynx , to Memes in OHHH WAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS,

So I was right that it's a lyric, just not a Sabaton one 😅
