    I will never, ever understand Christians. Jews are God's chosen people, they are the ones who are to be defended and cherished, their state should be defended... Why aren't Christians Jewish? Why be Christians at all?

    People who complain about the fact that "emails" is an incorrect plural form, even if it's incredibly common and accepted, and sometimes language evolves and changes, should be sure that they write it 'E-mail', and also don't forget to capitalize Internet!

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    What I don't like about this experiment is that being hyperphantic doesn't necessarily mean "you need photographic visualizations of every scenario at all times". My mind conjures scenarios differently depending on context.

    I can imagine myself barely being able to see a ball on a table, let alone a person moving into view.

    I can see the ball having a glossy, low-res texture alla 1980s CGI, with the ball being pushed by a polygon figure, moving without any real animation and limply falling off the table with no gravitational speed.

    I can picture a worn, shiny leather baseball sitting on an old coffee table, stained walnut. The person is Mark Wahlberg and he has a smirk on his face as he lazily finger-flicks the ball, which only barely makes it to the edge of the table before just being able to tip off the edge, bouncing twice with a heavy bomp-bomp and rolling unevenly for a couple seconds. Mark winces because his finger hurts now. I could also imagine the flavor of the baseball and what it would smell like.

    The point is that an aphantic might only be able to visualize this scenario at best as well as the first description, or perhaps not even at all and they can only 'know' of the movements in the scene with zero visual or otherwise relation to it.

    Hyperphantics generally can conjure near limitless detail and they can retain that information visually for long periods of time without much effort.

    Hugo's Hunchback is much the same. There is genuinely a good story, with the gypsy, the priest, Quasimodo himself, and then a good half the center of the book is just a complete history of the Notre Dame cathedral.

    I just started Alaska by James Michener today. It's very good so far! I am considering rereading The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann after this. Nothing cozier than a nice delve into a good long story.

    People often write how they talk, and I find the best authors will incorporate dialect and intonation into their writing. One of my favorite examples is of Blood Meridian. It's so amazing that one can literally tell who is talking purely from word choice and grammar with no quotation marks and often no indicators of who is speaking.

  • My partner and I both have digital cameras. Hers is a Canon EOS Rebel-T5, and mine is an Olympus Tough TG-6. Both cameras will create subdirectories within the `/DCIM/` folder, formatted as `10*CANON` or `10*OLYMP`. We've shared SD cards on occasion, and neither camera has had any issues with just creating a new directory to match the current camera; e.g., one SD has `/DCIM/100CANON ... /DCIM/101OLYMP`, etc. There is a highly unusual issue going on with one of the cards. It is a 64 GB [pro]master, Code 2145. It is well-used, with probably over 10,000 photos on it from my Olympus (that are backed up), but there is still plenty of room for pictures. When using this card in particular in her Canon, we have noticed that it writes photos without error, but retrieving and reading the photos on the display is terribly laggy and the camera expends a lot of energy "thinking" with the red indicator light. However, with patience, we are able to view any photos that are produced with this camera. The "photo#/total" display at top (e.g. 4/100; 5/8979) is really screwy and the second number changes often, perhaps as it reads from different directories. #### ISSUE: When I load this SD into my computer, I am only able to recognize Olympus subdirectories. There is no evidence of a Canon writing anything onto this disk, not even any of the other data directories it will normally create outside of `/DCIM/`. Entering the SD through CLI and using commands like `/ls -a` prove fruitless. Where on earth are these photos? What other options do I have in trying to attain these images?

    Hello (nobody!) Since this is a brand-new community with zero views, subscribers, posts or anything, I figure a good place to start would be with the icon mascot, my baby Millie. She is of indeterminate age, but likely around one year. She's underweight for her age, only about 240g as of last weigh. I got her from my friend who wanted to do right by her but couldn't bring himself to care for her properly. She's an absolute sweetie, has never once bitten me or even hinted at doing so, eats her meals cleanly, and I can't wait until she's a giant monster noodle that terrorizes my house.

    Hello, I am new to this community, as well as to coding in general. I am having fun learning C, and I've generally been able to work through/slam my head into problems until they make sense, but I am confounded by this discrepancy, and I am hoping to have some help with it: `printf("%%c);` **Output: %c** ---------------------- ``` #include void textGreen(const char* text) { printf("\033[32m%s\033[0m", text); } int main() { textGreen("%%c\n"); return 0; } ``` **Output: %%c.** Since printf is wrapped into the function, should the text not be outputting with the same behavior? Why is my terminal printing this code without escaping the percent sign? FWIW, the text *is* green, at the very least. I am using Ubuntu 23.10, the code was written in KATE, it was compiled in GCC, and it was run on the basic GNOME terminal.

    This post idea was inspired by a recent post by Guenther_Amanita@feddit.de in this community. I have been a Windows user for my entire life. I recall having an iMac in my bedroom as a small boy, maybe 7-8, playing random offline games on it, but aside from that, my experience growing up was with Windows 98, XP, Vista, 8 and 10. I wouldn't say I was ever a "power user" per se, although I could do several tasks that were more technical if needed, like locating driver files, updating `.dll`s, configuring compatibility settings, etc. I think being a good Googler made me seem more capable to my family than I really was, and I'm sure a lot of people here would share my experience! With the impending sundowning of Windows 10, an OS that I "begrudgingly accepted" (rather than actually enjoyed using, as with Vista), and realizing that 11 was only going to bring more ads, force-installed applications, background processes that were nigh-impossible to disable without a lot of tomfoolery, AI bullshit and general bloat, I figured that I would try dual-booting Ubuntu, installing it on a partition of my storage HDD. Windows did not want to play ball, no matter how much I begged and pleaded and bargained, and eventually I was met at a point where I had to decide what to do going forward. My system was just not behaving the way I wanted to with two OSes ("This town ain't big enough for the both of us"), and figured, > Oh, what the hell. I'll primary Ubuntu and when I need to use Windows I'll run it on a thumb drive or something. Well, it's been several weeks now and, even with a couple bumps along the way, I have not booted into Windows once since the switchover. How many of you had a similar experience? I was frankly a bit scared of CLI and thinking that I was going to brick my PC before I even had a chance to use it, so I kept all my personal files safely tucked away in a removed HDD until the break-in process was relatively complete. As time has gone on, I've gotten comfortable enough to have a backed up copy of my files on here, and every new program I go to install that I used on Windows has worked swimmingly on Linux. I can only thank the helpful, enthusiastic people here in the Linux community for making my experience so smooth. It's rare you encounter a group of people where you can post what is ostensibly a stupid question, and be pummeled with dozens of well-formed, thoughtful, detailed responses to the question. There's very little of that infamous grandiosity and self-righteousness that I've heard runs rampant in the Linux world, and maybe Lemmings are just more prone to being helpful than the wider internet, but for what it's worth, I appreciate everything you all have done here so far. I feel so much more capable as a computer user with Linux than I ever did on Windows. I'm automating tasks, I'm fine-tuning network drivers, I'm getting in the weeds of file architecture, and it's all been a real blast to learn about. I actually feel a desire to learn so that I can help others have a similar experience to what I had coming into this.

    Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I've been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I've probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to deal with VMX and locked NVram. As of now, my system boot-loops and fails to run Windows, but paradoxically I am able to get Ubuntu running, which is what I am using now. I'll try to provide as much relevant information here as I can: * Device: HP ZBook 17, gen 6 * Primary OS: Windows 10 Home * Linux distro: Ubuntu Cinnamon 23.10 * Ubuntu location: /dev/sda3 * `grub-install --version` = 2.12~rc1-10ubuntu4 * boot-repair Boot-info summary: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rxZ3D5GtpP/ * I'm more than happy to provide more information as it's requested. As of now, I am unable to run Windows through the BIOS. If I run via the dedicated SSD as I normally do, it boot-loops, and if I try to go through any other drives it just tells me I need to install an OS. I am currently able to run Ubuntu, but only by going through the following process: 1. Startup menu 2. Boot configuration 3. `Boot from EFI > Ubuntu > shimx64.efi` At this point, I am happy with two outcomes to this scenario: 1. I am able to run my laptop with Windows 10 as the primary OS, with the ability to dual-boot to Ubuntu Cinnamon 23.10. 2. Assuming option 1 is impossible/requires a Herculean amount of work to pull off from this state, I am willing to scrub Windows 10 from my laptop and move forward with Cinnamon as my daily driver, though I am rather inexperienced in it. I can learn to move forward as I need to and run a VM or WINE for any Windows-specific processes I still need to do. But I would rather keep this option as my dead man's switch.

    I was curious about how one can begin to understand their child's sense of ToM. I've felt like my child is maybe a bit above the curve in terms of mental development (he is already capable of saying maybe 50-60 words, including names of 5 people and one dog, at 18 months old. He can also combine words to make contextually appropriate statements (for example: if I'm getting my coat on, he might say "daddy bye-bye" as if to say "Dad is leaving"). If he doesn't see his mother he might just say "mom-mom?" while raising his arms in the universal "who knows?" position—or he will say "mom-mom gone". I've been around several 18mos and it seems atypical to me that they're capable of these things so early. Well today he did something interesting. When he sits on the potty he likes to read a book, and just a few minutes ago I closed the door so I could go to the bathroom, and he slid a book under the bathroom door. Is it just automatic? Or is he forming some prototypical sense of "I like to read when I'm on the toilet, so I'll bring one for him since he is on the toilet"? Edit: I seem to have riled up some negative emotions in the readers on this community, for what reason I have no idea, but for what it's worth: I'm not trying to just brag about my child. If he's average that's awesome. I'm just trying to give context on what I see my kid does and use that to maybe try to understand how his mind works. It's a fascinating subject to me.

    "Stronger" hearts typically have a resting pump rate lower than that of weaker or less healthy ones. A healthy, athletic male might have a resting BPM of 60, while an otherwise healthy but post-partem female could be closer to 90. Would both of these hearts expend the same energy pumping 120 BPM? Would the healthier heart be theoretically expending more as it is acting in double-time, or would the weaker one be working harder as it is already inefficient at pumping blood?

    Local difference in pronunciation -- northern IN. Back me up here??

    I was discussing this with my fiance, and she agreed with me in that she also speaks English in this manner. I have found that, at least personally, I tend to speak several common homonyms in English in distinct ways: bear/bare, they're/there, where/ware. It's difficult to describe the differences in a concise way, but I'll do my best, and maybe use IPA where applicable, assuming I'm not using them incorrectly? The traditional pronunciation of **bare** is [ˈbɛr]. I would completely agree with this, and while the dictionary might also say **bear** is pronounced this way, I would argue that I often hear it more as [ˈber] — a more closed sound with the lips pulled back in a smile. Sure, sometimes people will lazily say both in the same manner, but if I say [ˈber], the listener is going to recognize in a vacuum that I am speaking of the furry mammal, not the term to describe a naked person. Similarly, **there** is rendered as [ðɚ]. **There** is a perfect rhyme with **bare**. I agree with this. However, **they're** is given the treatment of being a contraction of "they are", and it similarly has that closed sounded [e] instead of [ə]. Am I crazy, or does anyone else out there experience English this way?
