  • The driver could have taken over at any point.

    Leaving the highway, they could have taken over

    Leaving the road? They could have hit the brakes or taken over

    Following the rails? They could have turned away

    I presume the car was following a lane along the railway, they could have stopped it

    These people were just going along with whatever their $60k car suggested

  • Yeah, I got my first office job thanks to Y2K. An enormous amount was spent fixing it, with some of the fixes needed years before 2000-01-01, for example systems that projected into the future

    Biggest problem I saw was a program that stored 1999 as 99 and displayed "19".year

    So when set to January 2000 it showed 19100. Its calculations were fine, just its display and reports were wrong

  • It is specifically about causing an imagined future crisis to happen as soon as possible to get to the imagined golden age following it

  • I use keepass, it's a little more work than many closed source ones, but it's only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything

  • My "smart" bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

    I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

    Its app hadn't been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

  • You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

  • I think we're mostly using 64 bit machines now. Even loads of embedded stuff is running on 64 bit processors now.

    There will still be a lot of old software and hardware that needs updating before the 32 bit Unix time overflow

  • LibreOffice calc has

    • 0 = 1899-12-30,
    • 1= 1899-12-31,
    • 2=1900-01-01

    I wonder if they were trying to one-up excel.

  • I think you're description will be fine with our diverse friends, it's pretty correct and non judgmental

  • Maybe, I'm no linguist or expert. Small jellyfish will go out with the water

  • It only stops solids above a certain size, so a filter is more accurate. Check valves generally stop everything or all of a class of things, the turtle passes all liquid and some solids

    Our heart valves are check valves

  • Really it was "find something that is different to the reseller scales"

  • Using the metric version you can get zero with no chirps. The method doesn't work at all for the current temperature though, you can't get -1°C any way

  • Room temperature is another great way to get decoherence

  • Supermarket speedrun any%

  • Yeah me too, which is one of the ways I know I don't have ADHD. I'm straight in, grab the things I'm there for, visit no other aisles, don't pick up any impulse buy items.

    ADHD is about how they get distracted from things they should be doing to the point it makes life harder

  • Yeah I don't think a ADHD sufferer is going to be hyper focused in as visually noisy a place as a supermarket

  • The way my brother in law describes his ADHD does not include terms like laser focused.

  • I hope your country provides good social support and/or that your bets and investments come good
