To me it’s more to do with mentality. Most of the people earning that much are completely full of themselves, “I’m a problem solver I get things DONE” kinds of people. To have them come to someone they probably don’t see as such for a task that is imminently solvable by just looking at the screen for 30 seconds, or typing a quick search is at best off-putting.

I mean, yeah, privacy isn’t really a thing in our digital surveillance age. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make it as hard as possible for them. Make em work for it.

No problem, friend. Certainly not the first thing my mind goes to when I consider eating my date :p

This, too, shall pass. It’s been one of my mantras for the longest times. The things that make you happy will fade, so cherish them while they’re there. The things that make you sad will fade, so keep going through, one day will be easier.

A date is a type of fruit, kinda similar to a plum.

Maybe you can open 'er if you’re a gentleman.

That one wasn’t reeeeeeeeally writing at random though.

Security is, and always has been, a matter of making your shit harder and take longer to break. Any security is penetrable, given enough time and willpower, just make sure it takes longer than it’s worth.

If there are an infinite number of trials (either infinite monkeys or infinite time), the outcome is truly random, and the desired text is finite, it must necessarily happen at some point. In fact, it’d happen an infinite number of times.

The original thought experiment clearly states infinite. As soon as you bound that in any way (such as not infinite monkeys, but 1 monkey for every atom in the universe) you’re talking about another experiment entirely. Infinite means infinite, not really really big. Gotta use some critical thinking 👍

It also provides a raised grip for removing, but they could do both of those without THAT shape. Even rotating the hole 90 degrees would make it a little better on the key ring and still keep those marginal benefits.

I love the documentation.

Just… Why is it shaped like that? What possessed Samsung to make that design…?

Aren’t you kinda doing the same thing? What do you add to this conversation? I personally found guy’s commitment to his bit fascinating.

Close, it’s a TH not a YE sound. My sick-brained explanation probably confused you hahah. The “ye” you see on old signs is a byproduct of the shift. We phased out the thorn character, and replaced it with a y during that period. So “ye olde tavern” would be pronounced “the old tavern”.

To use the example you gave, it’d be “either the boulder”.

Fair enough. I’m at least impressed with the commitment.

Right, it’s the old English Thorn, which we used for the “th” sound. It got phased out around the invention of the printing press, first being replaced with “y” (the -> ye) and then we just decided to change the spelling entirely. There’s a whole history to it, I can’t do it justice ATM.

Oh neat. This is all taxonomy that is well beyond me. My defense of calling humans monkeys is that everyone does it, and that’s how language works. Glad to know I’m correct too, technically lol

Ol Bill Shakespeare. He wrote Hamlet, one correct letter at a time.

To be entirely fair, apes aren’t monkeys. I don’t think that particular distinction is really all that relevant to the discussion, but technically…

Technically true, I think it still fits for the layman.

Talk how you want. The only issue I see is that others won’t understand you, but you’re not hurting anyone doing so. Just don’t get upset when others can’t understand you.
