Lord of the Flies
  • Automatically what I think.

  • Is America Ready for a President Who Can Convert a Word Document to a PDF?
  • It's like the principal in my school hitting return many times to get to the next page.

    I did an office IT course which was next level: making sections which enable you to change every bit of the page format without altering other sections.

    At the time it didn't seem to matter but that course was instrumental in saving so much time and hassle.

  • Is America Ready for a President Who Can Convert a Word Document to a PDF?
  • A generation or two ahead and it'll be hard for presidents to operate the holographic interface/brain interface and find typical functions.

  • Square!
  • Could be a square in a two dimensional space with different rules.

  • If the sun was dried up or put out and was a rock how much would it weigh?
  • Seems like you answered the question, OP comments at the bottom and thinks it might be picked up by hand in terms of weight.

  • Is there a Windows 10 inspired launch menu?
  • Reading up on the GitHub page, it has a few concerning WIPs. Might not be worth swapping to a different DE.

  • Caption this.
  • CT bread scan.

  • [Arcade Rage] Leo
  • I love how this chart is going to update every year.

  • Humble Bundle - Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld
  • It's non-linear to me but if something is mentioned in the book that happened in the past, I just read that book in the frame of being a prequel. It hasn't really turned into anything spoiler heavy. Though the City Watch novels are a lot more linear and tend to see a lot of character growth.

  • Why do people on Lemmy get mad when you make multiple posts about similar topic?
  • I understand your concern. I wouldn't be criticising their spelling in the main body of the post, but at the very least they should be spell checking the title. An occasional typo is usually forgiving but if the Lemmy feed is showing a post with many spelling mistakes it's not going to go down well.

    Learning spelling and ensuring it is correct is part of learning a language.

    If I was posting in a Chinese forum, I would be very careful to ensure the Chinese characters are correct. Differences in minor radicals can make all the difference, e.g. 慢 and 漫 are distinctively different words. It's a different kind of spell checking.

  • Can you safely heat people with microwaves?
  • Microwave ovens work on resonance, so I'd be worried about heating up parts of the body more than others. Without resonance you wouldn't have effective heating so it would be a bit complex to warm all parts of the body equally.

  • Why do people on Lemmy get mad when you make multiple posts about similar topic?
  • Half your posts are specific questions to a specific game which could be answered by searching Google. Such posts do not promote open discussion.

    And you might need to check your spelling a bit.

    If you had a post like 'I really love Red Dead Redemption 2 (note spelling is correct here) for (insert mission here)', other Lemmy users might chime in with their own favourites.

    So you need to curate your posts a bit. Maybe stick to commenting for the time being.

  • Are there any individual cells that make decisions, or do they all react to their immediate environments according to chemical and mechanical laws?
  • Just to spur this question on a bit, I know from my limited knowledge that cells can kill themselves when a mutation has occurred. But that's also a sort of biochemical reaction. To be honest, what is truly self-determining? Is it simply a property of the nervous system? My thoughts are leading in that direction to be honest.

  • How do you interact with children?
  • Be yourself, children will get past your facade and your inhibitions when you realise it.

    I've sometimes behaved as if I don't give a shit and they still trigger me in the right direction to make me goofy.

  • Poor timing [beetlemoses]
  • So based on other comments here, the delicious recipe for brisket is:

    1. Bathe the brisket in copious brine.
    2. Place in an oven on low heat on timer for 300 years.
    3. Ensure that during this time the brisket is pounded by gamma radiation continuously.
  • Missing scissors cause 36 flight cancellations in Japan • The Register
  • And of course they were found in the same location they went missing.

  • Searching for someone
  • Did they reach a conclusion or still ongoing?

  • Oh, the humanity!
  • Panel 3 was pulled off so well, I actually felt a bit warm and fuzzy before panel 4.

  • ‘NIGHTTIME BLUES’ [OC]
  • I mean it makes sense because it needs to be bright in daylight.

    About yay helper

    When using sudo yay it recommends not using sudo. It seems I had two different outcomes from using sudo and then from not using it. Having used it, what effect does this have?
