  • When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you're both passionate about, but because you're passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you're very familiar with very interesting.

  • Cameo? Who even is that (didn't watch the show)

  • Woke has got to be one of the most meaningless words out there. So many things are labeled as being "woke". From left-wing to right-wing, from progressive to conservative, it's genuinely insane.

    Can you please define what you mean by "woke"? (Funnily enough, most people that regularly use the word "woke" can't even properly explain what it means)

  • (Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

  • And he's an astrophysicist. So according to this guy he is even qualified to be talking about science

  • So science teachers also shouldn't teach science because they're not scientists?

    That's not what "qualified" means.

    People don't need to meet the definition of being a scientist in order for them to be educating others on scientific topics.

  • Don't speak the language but 100% agree

  • yes.

  • What's with these headlines? What's next? "How CO₂ may be influencing climate change"?

  • We've known this for more than 50 years. If policy makers won't start making fossil fuels adequately expensive (which they won't), nothing will change.

  • Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It's a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They're the best bang for the buck imo

  • The bootloader is open so you could throw Fairphone's Android on there no problem. I think they provide the files for that (didn't check so don't know for sure)

  • Do you mean —? That's Alt + Minus

  • True and also just saw the no Velcro request. The inside of the backpack is all Velcro for the divisors

  • Sorry but a word processor that doesn't trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

  • I only need one… is that allowed?
