  • I think you've misunderstood, usually you're not meant to explain jokes but I'll act in good faith and do it anyway.

    The comic uses 9"5' which is obviously meant to mean 9 feet and 5 inches.

    But in actual notation ' is for feet with " for inches. Meaning that what is in the comic actually reads as 9 inches and 5 feet if taken literally.

    So the way it should've been written for it to mean what it was meant to is 9'5".

  • House too hot? Energy bill already too high? This UK professor says smearing yogurt on your windows can cool your home

  • Humidity is a measurement of water in the air. The UK is famously a very rainy country. This is what makes it humid over here. When you sweat, even in just the mid-high twenties, it just doesn't evaporate, it's got nowhere to go because they're already too much water in the air for it to be a quick process. And it's the evaporation of sweat that wicks away heat from us and cool us down, without that you just stay hot with liquid on your skin that's also getting hotter. This is what I'm describing and why a less humid country in the 40s has the possibility to feel more bearable than the UK in the 30s

  • Yeah this wouldn't work on the UK, the reason the great hits garde here is because of how humid it is. It becomes almost rainforest like.

  • Microsoft Needs Windows Lite, No telemetry, no spying, no ads, no AI, no .NET, to retain gamers and developers

  • Yep, it's arguably the best thing they've done and still currently do I'm actually surprised the core .NET team haven't been corrupted yet. I always find it funny that all of the bigger guys that show off the new features and improvements in their preview showcases never use windows.

    Sadly the Visual Studio and VS Code team seem to have been corrupted though because 95% of all new features for those always seem to be centered around AI. I use Rider personally now, and Im looking forward to eventually moving over to that for work at some point too.

  • I think mono may still exist somewhat, but .NET Core took it as a foundation and built on top of it in the best way possible. I do hobby dev with .NET on Linux but sadly still beholden by Windows for work for the time being.

  • Everything from .NET Core onwards has been a blast to work with in my opinion. And it got even better when .NET 8 came out and I've genuinely been excited for every major release since.

  • It's just a framework for some code (usually that written in C#) to run on. It's not a windows only thing either. Just that on Linux if it's required it'll just get installed via the package manager, so you won't see the usual GUI installer that is often packaged with some games (even though you might already have it installed).
