O shit I know this one. Next step is to present his nudes to congress, ya?
"Of course, fixing these kinds of issues won’t push your product deadlines back at all. But we’ll be thankful to you! "
I mean what they have to do is obvious, right? Only one of these two options can help increase ad revenue.
I mean it’s not a problem. I’m just letting you know that if you use a technical term instead of the colloquial one in a casual conversation on an unrelated topic, to me it reads less like “we can extrapolate” and more like “I’m using this word specifically because I want to extrapolate”. Not bad per se, cuz idk maybe someone will figure out they love in-ears from this thread. But def that’s my first interpretretation when i read something like iem in a post about airplanes.
Edit ps: I also love how everyone is responding to this with their distro 😂 optimal response
😂 🤷 Ya that didn’t occur to me; prolly cuz I think I think I’ve only ever typed IEM when doing a search, so didn’t think about typing-length. But I still stand that that’s the vibe it gives off in casual conversation.
I used to be a stage and studio musician, and I still use customs outside of that context. I’m just saying that if I’m talking to someone about casual listening, there’s no way I’m specifying “IEMs” over “earbuds”. IMO same kind of energy as saying “I used my Arch desktop” when you could say “I used my computer”
Basically earbuds, but if someone uses the acronym outside the context of stage or studio work, they are trying to tell everyone that they only use earbuds that are qUaLitY
The thing I hate is that all these airline screens usually default to “on”, and people tend to leave defaults. I’m a tall person, and can usually see a large number of the screens in front of me. So if I’m on a night flight, even if I don’t intend to sleep, the only way to not be blinded by dozens of ads for a few hours is to bring a sleep mask.
Trying to find it again, but I had seen a set of polls earlier where they had asked some republicans “Would you be ok with a convicted felon as president?” and other republicans “would you be ok with Trump as president if he were a convicted felon?”, and the ones asked the Trump version had said yes at a much higher rate than the generic question.
At a rate of 10,658 tweets a year, I’d hope he tweets at least one useful thing
Not the part you’re inside, hopefully 🤞
tfw your space shuttle is designed to burn up in the atmosphere
No shit he won’t. It’s a great opportunity for him to express his political power.
Yeah, but is their compute called a Gigafactory? I didn’t think so.
Jokes on you I’m into that shit. Now do that one where you give my info away to a random hacker again.
He who controls the data controls the universe
The thing that annoys me with this kind of thing is that there’s so much tech like this that COULD be really useful if we had absolutely any trust in Microsoft and big tech at all.
Like… data, data collection, ai, and big data could be so useful for general users, but instead of creating useful ui and features for users, they only suck up all our data to build nice charts for advertisers and feed all our data to ai that can help them train their advertising models to try and extract more money from us.
Hey math people, if they all selected 1 of the 2 main candidates for every election, and they all selected different candidates, how many historians would it take to cover every combination for 10 years? (bonus points to see how many would take before guaranteeing someone could get 9/10)
