Kudos to the guy for admitting he was wrong, but I wouldn't celebrate it too much.
If they're able to disregard and misinterpret all the available proof regarding Earth's shape, something is fundamentally wrong. Either they lack the... mental acuity to deal with abstract concepts, or they're severely lacking in critical thinking.
At least the second one can be overcome if one commits to learning in a structured way, but the first one...
Ahahahaha, is that McDonald's worker called Judas per chance? I think I spot them in the picture
Exactly
As in croissant?
I'm with you, I'm the one who read my wife's car manual.
One of life's pleasures, for me, is getting home with a shiny new thing and going over the manual and trying out the features, and of course it will work as described, and somehow that's very satisfying.
I might be on the spectrum though, my experience is that people find that weird and nobody bothers to read manuals.
Good thing I checked where this was posted, because damn that's got to be a real unpopular one...
This article is just a sham, it boils down to "people who were warned to take action or they'd lose their data, didn't take action and lost their data".
Who could have seen it coming, I mean, surely no one's expected to read one of the several emails Google has been sending throughout the last few months, riiiight?
Just to clarify that I'm not defending Google, they're monopolistic scumbags and this is misleading because it won't really help anyone's privacy, it'll only save them a buck on storage.
Not sure I'd call them prudes, it's just that anywhere that serves coffee - every coffee shop, restaurant, bakery, pub, etc - has a grinder and a "professional" (multiple taps) espresso machine, it's just "standard" - I don't think I've seen a coffee pot other than in niche American-styled dinners, or hotels for tourists. Asking for an Americano is a thing though, but what you get is an espresso in a mug. The "drip" variety usually tastes either very bland or quite burnt, and doesn't punch the same way, so the common view is that it's "watered down" coffee and not well regarded.
In your area, that may be true. Around here, and by experience in a good chunk of southern Europe, asking for a coffee will get you an espresso 100% of the time.
Asking for drip coffee will probably get you scorned and sent off, or if they're nice they may offer to make you instant coffee if they have it.
What happened April 12th?
Trying so hard that they need diamonds
Hey fellow programmer! This is definitely a thing for me too, it's uncanny how frequently some random tidbit about a piece of architecture that I've tinkered with as a hobby years ago becomes relevant, and I just blurt out to a colleague "oh, do this and that, and it should work".
But on the other hand I have to pause for like 30 seconds up to a full minute before answering when is my kid's birthday, just to make sure I'm not getting it wrong somehow. π
