Oops, my bad

so you came up with your own term to cover your mistake?

That’s not how the square root is defined.

You’re confusing “square root of 100” with “the answer to x^2 = 100”. These are different things.

That implication wasn’t made. The original comment mentions how it took men 70 years to drain it (meaning that the drainage started during the USSR), and the comment below does not challenge that fact.

This does not dispute his claim that most of the evaporation happened post-USSR.

Impressive mental gymnastics. So the “starving” Cubans live more than Americans because Americans have “too much” bread?

spaces in rm are a classic one, they’re even mentioned in the Unix-haters handbook

Not excusing Vanguard, but if you’re running Windows then your entire kernel is a blob. If you’re running most linux distros, then your kernel contains blobs for drivers.

There really isn’t a complicated discussion to be had unless you needlessly complicate things. There’s a big difference between having, say, better monitor or headphones in terms of resolution or sound quality vs having a monitor or headphones that add extra features.

It’s like saying that AR glasses that visualize a ball’s trajectory should be allowed in tennis or football because players can already invest in better rackets or shoes.

The detection problem is not unsolvable. First, you can forbid people that are using that monitor from matchmaking. You can find your monitor’s model number using software so that would be trivial. For a more nuanced approach, you can examine players’ reaction times and ban people that got too good too fast.

wtf Malta

which is kinda stupid because they have two words for 4 (shi and yon) and only shi sounds like death.

You can’t be serious lmao

ah yes, the famous “autocracy of the proletariat”

GPLv3 fixes that

Because Arch’s philosophy is being easy to develop, not easy to use
