lime!

every time this comes up i am flabbergasted.

this year was my most complicated tax filing yet since i was involved in a bankruptcy, switched jobs, bought a house, contracted work on the house which was eligible for tax credit, and got an inheritance within the span of a few months. it took me almost 20 minutes to do, which was basically only because the tax agency don’t package their various calculators in the pre-filled form and i had to double-check the credit thing.

it drives me mental, then i hear about “tax month” and i feel it could be worse.

doom’s netcode is weird as well, all the clients run in perfect lock-step. seems like it would be weird on non-duplex networks.

i have absolutely been called over to laugh at a circuit board. hell, i’ve done it myself

that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

no, and yes. i’m not going into more detail for fear of doxxing myself but basically we wanted the waveforms generated by a high-voltage short circuit.

later tests involved help from a power company and actual high-voltage lines.

we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.

it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.

we hijacked a conference room on a shared floor for a week and built a three-phase high-voltage line in there by hunting around the building for which sockets were on which phase, then plugging them into industrial transformers.

insisting on calling all tissues kleenex is how the company loses the rights to the name

“your instance” is where you made your account, so lemmy.world

take a breather and come back to it later, the place will still be here :)

could be worse i guess

you’re thinking of the greeks. the norse gods were separate.

we do have the submarine thing but i didn’t feel like doing that many conjugations

the days in english are from old norse, no?

• Sun’s day
• Moon’s day
• Tyr’s day
• Wodin’s day
• Thor’s day
• Freyr’s day
• Saturn’s day (okay that ones roman)

well i don’t know who they are

i used to have a phone with the “charging hole” on the left side near the top. your tricks don’t work on me.

that’s what the other side wants them to do, yes.

servers are probably to tightly integrated into ubi’s infra to publish but they don’t want to say that.

hex casting is stack-based and has lots of different blocks for doing different things. trickster is fully functional and has very few blocks, but isn’t as well balanced for use with other mods. at least i think that’s the case.

i guess you could say the learning curve is a balance feature. it’s an entire functional programming language in a pretty unergonomic form factor, so actually building spells that do anything impressive takes a lot of time.
