    We could always choose to unify the prefixes. We have pansexual which is a Greek prefix but bisexual which is a Latin prefix. If we swap it for Greek it becomes disexual. That implies a grouping of straight, gay, and lesbian as either monosexuals (Greek) or unisexuals (Latin) which I don’t think I’ve ever seen used.

    Looking at this table on Wikipedia you could come up with some funny (and nonsensical) derivations en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix




  • It may stop them from voting depending on the requirements surrounding the birth certificate. The format of certain features or seals are not consistent across the US. Local laws in one place may require something which is not done in the place a person was born. My mother deals with that frequently and I had some issues with that previously. Even of she purchased a replacement birth certificate it would still follow the “wrong” format.


  • I have to use outlook for work. Frequently it will ask me to log in, then when I do so it gets stuck in a loop of logging me out as soon as I log in and asking me to try again. This happens until I clear my cookies. I have never had this happen with anyone besides Microsoft.

    Also it prompts you when logging in to “sign in with all apps on the device”, which I definitely do not want. But this means when I sign in on something like power point or word (because I guess liscence keys aren’t adequate anymore?) it then signs me out of other apps which use a Microsoft account.

    I no longer use windows for personal use, but I’m stuck with it for work





  • I’m a PhD student and several of my classmates use computing clusters in their work. These types of computers typically have a lot of CPUs, GPUs, or both. The types of simulations they do are essentially putting a bunch of atoms or molecules in a box and seeing what happens in order to get information which is impossible to obtain experimentally. Simulating beyond a few nanoseconds in a reasonable amount of time is extremely difficult and requires a lot of compute time. However, there are plenty of other uses.

    The clusters we have would have dozens of these CPUs or GPUs and users would submit jobs to it which would run simultaneously. AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel and Nvidia GPUs have Cuda, which is incorporated into a lot of the software people use for these.

    I’ve personally never used anything more than a desktop, though I might apply for some time soon because I’ve got some datasets where certain fits take up to two days each. I don’t want to sit around for a month waiting for these to finish

    It’s voxel based, but definitely nothing like Minecraft. If you’re looking for something similar to Minecraft that isn’t just a clone of it you could try Vintage Story. It’s closer to the Terra Firma Craft mod for Minecraft than the unmodded game.

    I would still recommend trying Veloren as it is fun. Just don’t expect it to be anything like Minecraft.




  • Installing Linux doesn’t magically transfer over all your files. My comment did not reference the time taken to install Linux. Additionally, for a first time Linux user, it may not be immediately clear where certain things, like mods or save files for games need to go.

    EDIT: you’d also have to install and set up all your software (independent of which OS you install). None of this is particularly difficult, but it takes time and you need to think about it in advance to avoid missing a bunch of files or programs
