I guess you get good at Unix and refrigerator by reading it, so why not?

virku@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Son of Norway’s crown princess charged with four counts of rapeEnglish47·5 days agoI hate that our media has started dishing out any and all details including heresay for months when some court case or investigation of notoriety is going on. If it is a missing billionaires wife, a raping gynocologist, resurfacing of the same 30 year old murdered kids every 3 years or whatnot it is at the top of the newspapers for months. I don’t want to read about that shit.
I don’t want assholes to get famous after doing illegal shenanigans. I would much rather read news about a farmer saving his horse. Or even shaving his horse which auto correct wanted me to type for that matter.

Now that I think about it that commercial might have been on snap between stories. Snap is also bloating up fast these days.

I don’t like self censorship to appease some algorithm. But if you threaten to skin me alive I will at the very least report you to the mods. You can have freedom of speech without being an asshole.

virku@lemmy.worldto Hardware@lemmy.world•[Gamers Nexus] Noctua's attempt to make the perfect fan | Blade angle engineering discussionEnglish3·19 days agoThe people who makes fans for The fan showdown on youtube should propably check this out. I am not an engineer of that sort and I dont have any reason to care, but I consistently watch all the fan showdown videos immediately after they drop for some reason.
Why did you have to go and mess with my childhood crush like that?
It’s really good. I’ve recommended it to many people before and every one who read it loved it. But it kind of leaves you with a bruised soul for a while after you’re done.
I read Flowers for Algernon as an adult. It hit me hard. I have since heard that it is read i school many places in the US.
Edit: I’ve only read the novel he wrote based on the short story, but I guess the short story is equally as good since it won the Hugo award while the novel won the nebula award.
Not all summers are rainy though, but it kind of feels like it. A normal good summer day is mid twenties. I’m from just about where the post is about. Futher south is more consistently nice.
I can only remember one summer with more than a day or two of 30+ degrees c. They are usually right to come here for more comfortable temperatures. We usually want to leave the other way when we have rainy 12 degrees summers.
I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for “coolcation” only to find it almost as hot as down there.
virku@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•I try to spice it up with some VB Macros but it's still ultimately just a spreadsheet.English2·29 days agoOh Lord. Before I found power bi 15 or so years ago I made interactive speeadsheets that did a lot of querying directly towards sql based on a set of input cells. Did a lot of crunching on the data merging data fetched from different database etc before presenting them in their own sheets. The worst part is that it was a huge leap from what we did earlier. Then I would write sql queries and dump the result to Excel every time management needed data.

The announcement here in Norway was that gift labled packages from person to person valued less than 100 usd would still be shipped and packages worth more than 800 usd as well.
