I just showed this post to a coffee aficionado. He only made it through a couple of comments, let out the biggest sigh I’ve ever heard from him and handed me my phone back.

German: Konjunktiv I and II. Most people first learning German will hear the Konjunktiv II in its usage similar to a subjunctive in english (“Wenn das so wäre” - “If it were that way”), but it does so much more. You can switch full sentences to the Konjunktiv II, but that immediately implies that you doubt the statement being presented. For instance, if you say “er hätte es vergessen”, you’re essentially saying “he allegedly forgot it, but I really doubt it”, just by using the Konjunktiv II.

Then, there’s the Konjunktiv I, which is similar, but instead of voicing your disapproval, you’re staying completely neutral. Taking the example from before, it would be “er habe es vergessen”, with which you’re saying, “he allegedly forgot it, and I neither support nor disavow that statement” - again, all only with a change of verb form. It’s wonderful when you’re relaying something someone else said without adding your own evaluation.

I don’t know how much C++ you know, but what I can say is that I learned it using learncpp.com and I can’t recommend the site enough. It goes through the topics so that you don’t just understand them on a surface level, but also understand all the underpinnings. The only thing missing IMO is asynchronous stuff like threads, mutexes and so on, networking would also be nice. But after going through all the lessons on the site I understood C++ well enough so that adding that on top wasn’t difficult anymore.

I wouldn’t want to be without one. I’ve used them multiple times for things where it would get too complex or awkward in a spreadsheet tool. Recently, for instance, I’ve created a database for a non-profit I manage to oversee potential donors, donation requests and donations, and keep things much more organized than I could with a simple spreadsheet. Yes, there’s more upfront work, but it makes the data that much easier to work with.

Not arrested, but definitely fined, and people have lost their drivers license for walking a red light. The general rule is: check for police before you do anything like that.

As to what that covers, . TL;DW: the constitution is fairly vague on that.

That “whoa” at the end… It’s almost as if even he’s surprised the crowd followed along with that.

Honestly, even without this, there are so many reasons not to buy from that shitty company.

That’s essentially it. It’s a general rule that adjectives ending in -c turn into either -che or -cque.

Yeah, I was referring to both posters, I guess I didn’t make it particularly obvious.

I saw the video. No, that wasn’t an explosion. No smoke, no nothing. There’s no credible evidence to support that. Let’s not spread baseless conspiracy theories, please.

The broken clock strikes again.

UTC would be unlikely to diverge from rotational time by a full hour for at least a thousand years, Shemar said.

If humankind lasts that long, it might be the least of our worries. ®

Lol.

In Canada they’re currently bulldozing a school because a school shooting happened there.

Also, lemmy.ml has some, uh, issues, a fair number of instances have defederated from it. So I’m pretty sure it will reach many more people on this instance.

I hope? I first it was a shitposting comm but didn’t find anything in the sidebar.

Great, one more psycho on social media.

Yes and no. If you have a 5V power source that can deliver 10 000 amps, you won’t even notice anything if you touch it. If you have a 5 000V power source that can deliver 10 000A, you’re fucked. And my point is, generally when voltages are that high (outside of some scientific experiments like yours), they can also provide however many amps it needs to seriously fuck you up.

14 000 V is an insanely high voltage - around 100 times as much as what you get out of a wall outlet. I don’t know about this case, but the cases I know of (mostly railway catenary) can also deliver generally at least 10 000 A. That’s more than enough to essentially fry all your internal organs from the inside, and if you survive it, it’s an insanely long and painful recovery process.

Honestly, knowing what I know about injuries from voltages like that, I’d rather die than survive it.
