  • Ok so I’m not very into tech and I had a hard time understanding what was going on especially since I didn’t know what Microsoft Azure was. So TIL that’s a computing cloud system, and that now you have a Linux distro called Azure as well which can be run on this cloud for some reason but also on your laptop (I guess it operates from the cloud? Bit confused about that too)

    Now the million dollar question: why? Why is Microsoft doing this? They are obviously seeing a path to fuck people over in a couple of chess moves, but I’m not good at this game, so here I’m asking those of you who actually understand the significance of this

    I would also be confused af. First, I would think it wants me to tap objects with a somewhat glossy surface, even though all of them actually reflect light. But having sorted the first trick in this question, I am now confronted with two other questions: is a body of water considered an “object”? Also, are those actually photos of a river or are they illustrations of a river? They don’t look realistic to me… Because if they’re illustrations then they wouldn’t be particularly more reflective than anything else in this set of images

    I hate these things

    So is Australia apparently. I’ve seen this joke a few times and the first time I had to ask what the hell it was all about. I’ve seen my share of gardens with mint in it and not only it doesn’t take over everything, it’s also very susceptible to insects. A fully grown plant will disappear over the weekend if the right caterpillars find it.

    Lantana, now, that’s a problem



  • I’ll be honest, my economics understanding is rudimentary so what I read makes little to no sense to me. I need an ELI5 version, not just a summary. I vote OK because I didn’t read anything outrageous, but should I fully understand the implications I may decide to change my mind. I don’t see much in the way of job security or job creation though, please correct me if I’m wrong. Job market is tough





  • Or Photoshop.

    Also I’ve burned copper wire for fun and the green flame appears for just a second or so, once it burns (I guess the surface oxidizes? ) it stops. If they put copper on the burners they must have some impressive coordination and speed to turn all three and snap the photo before the reaction is over
