lol no. Maybe in the past but now there's a background check and often a mandatory waiting period before you can just walk out with a gun.

I'm confused about the context of "on line" vs "in line"

Are we talking about standing in a queue, or using the internet, or one's behavior ("you'd better get get yourself in line!"), or auto racing terminology ("stay on your line" or "hold your line", often shortened to "stay on line")?

Doubt it's that last one lol but where are those two getting mixed up and how might they differ from "online" (internet) and "inline" (skates)?

Lol this is such a fun thread

Thanks! I am still pretty inexperienced so I'm inadvertently doing both at the same time with the same few machines haha

Thanks this makes sense!

I think I'm somewhere in between the two. I'm still pretty inexperienced so I might say I'm self hosting through my homelab as I expect to screw something up any day now haha. So far so good though

One teaches what to do, the other teaches what not to do.

ElectroBOOM keeps me alive sometimes, and Technology Connections told me how to properly use a dishwasher.

Lol at the last phones "pro" being "ultra portable".

Unless this means that programs and such can be ported to it, aren't all cell phones ultra portable? Isn't that the point?

To me that's like saying a pro of a specific model of car is that it is "ultra drivable"

I love people who are like "we need to return to nature!"

Like, I get the sentiment and we should definitely try to coexist with the rest of the animals since were smart enough to, but i think its important to remember that we are nature. We cannot separate ourselves from it. Even skyscrapers are natural. Just ask a termite.

 

An example of what I mean:

I, in China, told an English speaking Chinese friend I needed to stop off in the bathroom to "take a shit."

He looked appalled and after I asked why he had that look, he asked what I was going to do with someone's shit.

I had not laughed so hard in a while, and it totally makes sense.

I explained it was an expression for pooping, and he comes back with, "wouldn't that be giving a shit?"

I then got to explain that to give a shit means you care and I realized how fucked some of our expressions are.

What misunderstandings made you laugh?
