I got a graphics card that somehow bricked hard drives. We went through a lot of hard drives before finding out this was the case. I don’t remember specifics

Someone once paid me to poke them with a stick every time I caught them not doing their assignments. Offloading executive functioning onto someone else can work

“Completely different” when the two things are actually very similar

I’m not entirely sure what it means enough to give a summary.

The first usage that pops into my mind is when someone has said a silly joke regarding your situation and you want to acknowledge the joke but also move on quickly.

Second usage is someone has suggested something, you want to say you understand but you have a different opinion.

“Yeah nah” - Australian proverb

Does that mean Australia gets the money back to put into high density public housing?

I’m old enough to remember reading about netiquette.

I assume you allow everyone into your home, no questions asked? Maybe you do, but frankly most people at least vet their guests through a combination of social connections and history, and rarely is a place “entirely open” or “entirely closed”. Being excluded from a place because the gatekeepers of that place prefer the company of someone else who doesn’t like you is perfectly normal and ultimately they have to make a choice between you being at an event or their closer friend.

This isn’t to say I agree with every banning or exclusion, but it’s perfectly normal behaviour.

I saw a numbat at the zoo. Very rare, almost extinct, pretty skittish so even if you do go to their exhibit they’re often hiding from everyone

What, uh… what answers were you expecting in here, OP?

I remember my dad slapping me in the face for pronouncing “water” like an American. A bunch of odds and ends like that.

What did they say?

“Don’t delete this, might need it later - JP”

Joke Answer: Star Trek Theme

Mid-hundreds. idk, way higher than I was getting for forgetting to delete random game of thrones episodes

Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they’re all awaiting trial in jail too.

I feel like I’ve taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.

I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.

This is as good as it gets. Everyone struggling to rent, find jobs, finding out that a substantial portion of people around you hate you.

Bees, but only because I’m allergic.

So advanced, the smartest guys from the US are needed to pilot it. Top men!
