I’ll go, but Imma be REALLY unpleasant the entire time. And you’re GOING to ask me why I even came… But I’ll do that for my friend.

A lot of seed was sowed over Zootopia.

Be gentle to the Australians. It is a silly place full of horrors beyond your reckoning, and dangerous animals too.

Was that ever a valid pronunciation of gigawatts, or did somebody admit that it was a misreading of the printed word?

It’s so that you can have unique, randomized, rotating passwords for every service you have. Also, they auto fill fields for you, and can save you from spoofed URLs if you’re not paying attention. Highly recommend getting one. Bitwarden is good.

Cool. What is the file size of the DNS database being quarried with each request anyway? My knee jerk assumption is that it’s like a petabyte, but the longer I think about it, the smaller it gets.

Dang. They do it all in one Pizza box. I figured it would be a whole rack per unit.

Next up on ANTIQUE MEMES ROADSHOW! (Are we running out of content guys? This image is literally like 20 years old)

You HAVE to try making it with dead animals in it. Basically any kind. I’ve tried it both ways, and It’s SO much better with.

I never even thought about this before, but what kind of hardware is a root level DNS server like 1.1.1.1 or quad 8 run on? Are they all roughly the same, or do they take different approaches to the load?

Uno reverse card: Stalin always has time for you. He’s very social.

Okay, I have to break the oath that I made to myself when I made the last comment saying that I was going to walk away from this, but I have to issue one last point. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the context of the picture of the plane with the red dots on it. During world war II the US military was trying to find a way to prevent its bombers from being shot down during bombing runs. A diagram was made of the most common bullet holes that were found on planes that had returned from combat, and a major effort was put into trying to armor those locations to protect them from anti-aircraft fire. After reinforcing panels were installed, the exact same ratio of planes were shot down with seemingly no benefit. It took the involvement of statisticians to explain to the decision makers that they were armoring the wrong points. Assuming that the bombers were hit fairly uniformly with anti aircraft fire, the places where the bullet holes were located on returning aircraft were the least concerning locations, as they took a hit there but survived. The locations were no bullet holes were found were the places that needed to be reinforced, because they had been struck there and failed to return. After reinforcing the areas where very few bullet holes were located, bomber survivability improved considerably. You’re talking about your ability to spot six fingered, perfectly illuminated people in AI generated images that are nothing more than an annoyance to your news feed, while other things, like public figures being made to look like they’re saying things they’re not, or modified satellite images showing things that don’t exist, are lurking in the background, often unnoticed or unacknowledged. Is it possible that some of the images that you believe are real were actually AI generated but touched up slightly by human hands at the end to correct for the obvious giveaways? That is the point of this image. The most dangerous form of ignorance is not knowing what you don’t know. Being correct a high percentage of the time does not necessarily preclude one from being incorrect and equally high percentage of the time.

A bit presumptuous of you, but how many Nerotypicals do you know who have a working base knowledge of the types of anti-aircraft countermeasures that US bombers had to deal with during world war 2? Because that’s where you’d have to start.

wow… well, that proves it then I guess. You’re the specialist boy. Allow me to show myself out while you get back to work.

Have you given any consideration to the possibility that you are fallible?

This is the smartest goddamn meme I’ve seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

Is that just a sticker, or does some bank actually let you customize the image?

Because, on Lemmy, trust, optimism, and most expressions of positive thinking are seen as weakness, ignorance, or both.

I’ve never understand why people always complain about jury duty in particular. I’ve never been called, but I think it sounds like an interesting experience.

People who don’t give ass rats?.. You have to give one or the other, dude.
