well that’s an utterly horrifying page

I did an MSc in Computer Engineering. my uni also had computer science, but it was only a BSc and they did more theoretical stuff. We built hardware, debugged assembly, and studied signal propagation, while they looked at ACID compliance, data deduplication, and high-level architecture. well, we did that too but much less of it.

it’s a shit book even on its own merits so if purple liked it they likely got some biases confirmed by it 😬

except the imgur watermark

well you’re in luck, there’s an executive order just for you

violet?

bill bailey would beg to differ.

idk if using the uk in particular as an example there is very useful.

it varies. france and norway have some square mandatory “keep <direction>” arrows and sweden has the aforementioned “one-way in your direction” square arrow.

if you parse the 80 sign as “keep below 80” then this would be “keep below 1 pedestrian”!

there’s a reason some countries have a line through the “no x” signs, i think…

she grew up with a BeBox

yeah but this is a right-wing government, meaning they are also lowering taxes and taking loans to give money to international corporations without any revenue-sharing in mind. which means cuts everywhere else.

you can’t eat a pedestrian

alno unironically yes. it means “no pedestrians”.

for blue signs it’s not the shape that matters. a blue sign with an arrow is always a must. circular ones indicate what you need to do in your current lane (eg “keep right”), square ones on a lane you could turn onto (eg “the crossing road is one-way in this → direction”)

oh i agree on a purely pragmatic level, but if we are to do it within acceptable safety regulations it won’t make economic sense. which is why the government is giving out money to mining companies hand over fist.

yeah and they’re all where people live so the government is gradually removing the right of local officials and interest groups to stop mining projects.

there is a huge supply of cobalt under the largest freshwater lake in western europe. there’s no way mining that stuff isn’t going to fuck up the water supply for a couple of million people.

but i guess it’s better than buying it from mines that use slave labor.

it’s not an oscillation, they want to be green and modern so they can do oppression and atrocities.

not here, there’s at least one craft brewery in every town.

also you made it sound like the past tense applied to the millenials themselves :P

tf you guys mean “were”

…but they’re building a fleet truck…?
