You are applying too much classical thinking.

Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

It is all possible states, at the same time.

Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

No worries, I don’t expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.

The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.

This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

I mean wouldn’t it be crazy, to get something like people are eating cats and dogs publicly said.

I fixed this, tell the grandmother, I’ll only send the pictures etc via signal.

Set it up for her, put it on the home screen.

It depends on what you are looking for.

Look at the classics, some can be a bit heavy. But there is generally a reason they are considered classic stories.

To be fair, you never forget your first. Amiga workbench for the A500 was some of the best computing…

+1 for great use of “conniption”

Good choice on Mint.

I have been using Linux exclusively (personal) since 2008, distro hopped for a few years then settled on Ubuntu, until they shot themselves in the foot with 22.04 and the snap debacle; moved to Mint (after trying Pop, MX and a few others).

I have to say a big well done to the Mint devs, it is better than Ubuntu ever was; part of this is newer drivers etc…but it is very polished and it gets out of my way and lets me do my work.

Been working with the various flavors of Windows in a work capacity over the same stretch, in my opinion windows peaked with XP, 7 was ok, and 10 is also ok. But it really has been down hill since XP was retired.

So a while ago, and Palmy has always had a significant student population, ideas like; you can get a free feed at maccas by going through the drive through and walking / biking off; tend to spread quickly.

Legend!

When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I’d arrive just before 1am.

After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!

Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.

I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.

As someone with a 5yo.

Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.

As someone else mentioned, don’t baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)

My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don’t use instructions.

Came to say this exact thing.

FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.

Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.

This list looks very interesting, I’ll have to check them out, Completely Arbortrary really appeals.

Edit: I listened to the first two fall of civilizations, it is really good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Bernard Hickey is pretty good. Enjoy.

Automation engineer here: alarm management is a hugely important part of making a plant operable.

It is also a project that is never done, you must always review alarms that come in and see if they are providing useful information and what the operators are supposed to do with said information.

If the operators are not supposed to do anything with the information, then what is the point of having the alarm?

Went to a steak and ale bar, asked for a medium rare and my partner asked for a medium.

Mine came out blue and hers was rare…I was like wow these are undercooked, sent them back…

They literally just microwaved the plate, salad and all…

Never went back, told a bunch of people to avoid the place.
