Oh, if only I had that kind of power :D

Imagine arguing that ‘solutions’ like NAT444 isn’t broke as fuck

Well… yeah, why wouldn’t that be “broke as fuck”?

Basically too many professionals who haven’t learned a new technology since 2005 and refuse to try new things keep holding the world back

If it ain’t broke…

What does the app do?

On a boat, possibly in the tropics, without spoiling? Doubt.

Huh, “sailors” indeed. I can honestly say that I hadn’t noticed this was about boats up until now.

Probably talking about a thighfuck, pretty standard

I guess that’s plausible. “Hold” made it sound rather static though.

yeah BUT some knowledge you regret learning, and oþer people’s kinks teeter dangerously on þat brink.

While I was mainly trying to be vaguely poetic in a silly context, I can honestly not think of anything that I’ve ever regretted learning and I likewise can’t think of anything I wouldn’t want to know.
At best I would factor opportunity costs into it, but that still leaves me with only wanting to learn some things more than other things.

Learning about random internet-users’ kinks…? I guess there’s worse ways to spend a friday :D

Never let that toddler’s joy and wonder, the joy of learning something new and then suddenly understanding one more aspect of the big and complicated world around you and all the other people living in it, fade away.

Here’s hoping OP will chime in and lift our veil of ignorance 🤷

when in doubt, assume it’s a sex thing. Seems to work with basically all of these “I LIED, instead of [x] we do [y]”.

Oh, I have no doubt in my mind that it’s a sex thing, but I’m clearly lacking either the imagination, experience or cultural background to solve for [x]. It seems awfully specific, that’s why I’m asking

Help me out here, I’m having a senior moment. What on earth is the context? Holding what with their thighs? There’s some kind of joke or backstory or implied scenario here that’s going completely over my head.

apples aren’t notorious for large quantities of it anyway.

Yeah, I’ll concede that.
But again, long storage is not just feasible but relatively trivial - a cool basement, harvest before ripe, many months of apples to be had. Maybe it depends on the cultivar? Either way, for most of human existence in seasonally cold climates, storage simply was the only way for having access to fruit during winter and early spring.

Your body only needs tiny amounts of Vitamin C and you can easily store fruit like apples for more than half a year without refrigeration.

“At the last moment we managed to see to it that when the attack began, our services had found out about it and we shut everything down. We managed to prevent the attack.” He said Poland manages to thwart 99% of cyberattacks.

What does that mean? I mean I’m happy everybody has water, but even my router is “foiling” hundreds of cyberattacks per day. What exactly happened to make this newsworthy?

or pinged a satellite at a predictable distance as part of a timing system…

Isn’t that just GPS in reverse? I mean, same equation, different dependent variable 😁

Well, I didn’t regret reading the article, I’ll probably even recommend it to others…

It would be strange if we were having a big national conversation about limiting YouTube watching or never buying books or avoiding uploading more than 30 photos to social media at once for the sake of the climate.

… but I’m certainly a bit amused over how often the author just stumbles into a natural segue to an anti-consumerism rant and then just… takes a U-turn 🤦
