If the evil didn’t convince people to abandon Proton, maybe a little bit of AI will. Amazing.

JimVanDeventer@lemmy.worldOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practiceEnglish11·7 天前You caught me; I was being a tad bit dramatic with my Karen-y comment. No shade against cashiers, IRL. But I — personally — probably would not have a job like that for very long because I am privileged enough to be openly contemptuous.
JimVanDeventer@lemmy.worldOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practiceEnglish2·7 天前I have never had that kind of job, but it is remarkable some people gatekeep these discounts. Like, I must protect the gynormous company that barely and begrudgingly pays me minimum wage!
I feel like I would have all the discounts hotkeyed and ready to go. I probably wouldn’t have had that job very long. Maybe that’s the thing.
Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.

I am extremely gay and also don’t know how women use the bathtub but that is how I would design it for men.

Now that you mention it, India does use type D. Your image says type M. So you are right; D is the silly one. The larger holes are for higher amperage devices, but all the small holes are just because manufacturing tolerances are all over the place.
This diagram doesn’t do the utter goofiness of type M justice.
Here are a few styles you will come across.
JimVanDeventer@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear"English4·15 天前If it’s black, you’re a snack.
If it’s brown, you’re going to Stomach Town.
If it’s white, uhh, you’re a Turkish delight.
Basically, stay away from all bears, if possible.

Thankfully (and hilariously) they are so timid. I (a not intimidating person) raise my voice and say “hey, go!” And they run.
Grizzly bears, I used to think were scary. And they are. What I am getting at is that they are more territorial than human-eaty. Give them space. Give them as much space as you can. They will growl and grunt but they will not really want to bother with you.
Polar bears are nightmares. The blood on white fur doesn’t help their image. They will kill anything. They move so quick and quietly.
Back in my day, PAC-Man ghosts stayed perfectly still, exhibiting no behaviour at all and that’s how we Lemmy people liked it!
