I watched Gremlins 2 when I was 13, and it scarred me for life. I did not find it funny at all, and it gave me nightmares for days. I have not seen it as an adult, and currently being 40+ years old, I probably never will.

To a mathematician, pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993

The joke is basically the same, since you get resistors in certain values, and it’s necessary to select the value closest to the one you need

I’d use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.

This movie is a masterpiece. I’ve seen it more times than I’d like to admit.

Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They’re also loud and obnoxious, so I’ve stopped watching them.

I’ve actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.

It amazes me that one of the largest countries in the world, with the most diverse demographics, can only chose between two candidates. This is not democracy. It’s a shit show that has been going on for far too long.

The reason for this could be that people who are smart enough to write something comprehensible is most likely not going to do so because of the risk of getting comments from brain dumping people. Social media has given everyone a megaphone - even the dumbest individuals. They keep pouring their stupidity onto the internet for everyone to see.
