Holy shit, he is capable of creating a webcomic with a different joke??

GreenDust OP ,

Two DIMMs. Let's go.

GreenDust OP ,

Can you even do anything with just private keys? Is that not effectively the same as having someone's account password without actually knowing their username?

GreenDust OP ,

Smoke two meths before you smoke two meths, and then you smoke two more.

GreenDust OP ,

It makes those terrifying noises that dying helicopter passengers make.

GreenDust OP ,

Ecosia makes money when you click ads, not when you just see the ads, correct?

GreenDust OP ,

Like getting addicted to the effect of pills rather than the pill itself

what

GreenDust OP ,

How? The only options under "Save" that I see are ways to save the page as html or whatever. Nothing for pdf

GreenDust OP ,

Oh, I think I understand the confusion here. OOP here isn't talking about viewing a PDF online and then downloading that PDF file. They are talking about viewing an arbitrary web page (HTML or whatever) and wanting to save that webpage as a PDF file. Obviously, basically any PDF viewer in a web browser offers a simple button to download the file. But if I want to save a PDF copy of this Lemmy thread, for example, the best method is to print the page to PDF.

GreenDust OP ,

Those have different purposes. Word/Excel documents are meant to be editable so that anybody who opens the file is able to add to it, etc. A PDF is effectively the opposite. A PDF is generally meant to be an immutable document that looks the same in any program that you use to open the file.

GreenDust OP ,

The purpose of a PDF is not security, obfuscation, etc. If you NEED to manipulate a PDF, then sure, it is technically possible to do so. But it takes knowledge and effort to do so. As you say, it's cumbersome, tedious, and counterintuitive. The primary purpose of a PDF is to be a read-only document that looks the same regardless of the screen resolution, the fonts that are installed, etc. On the other hand, Word/Excel documents are designed to be as simple as possible for anybody to edit as needed at any point, with the downside of being affected by things like screen size, fonts installed, etc.

It's scary when I see posts that make me rethink my values :(

Most are not, but a handful of certain flavors are

I don't think that's relevant to this post. They aren't saying that they want to recreate every old patented appliance. I am sure they would be cherry picking just the best ones from that era.

The implication here is that a consumer who is inclined to drink Redbull is likely the type of person who suffers from an affliction for which they are prescribed some sort of mood-regulating medication, many of which negatively synergize with grapefruit enzymes.

And my axe!

I don't think this post is implying "addiction" at all. I think it is more referring to the fact that taking any hallucinogen at such a young age is a bad idea because your brain is still developing. The drug is likely affecting brain development in some way or another.

GreenDust OP ,

It's sort of like practice. Young relationships allow you to make mistakes to learn from firsthand while it is less important. Making those mistakes as an adult in a more serious relationship has worse consequences.
