That’s hilarious

Julius Caesar’s memoir of war in Gaul makes use of VIIII, for instance. You’re right that it’s much rarer, but was still used contemporarily and in modern times.

VIIII wasn’t exclusive to clocks, that’s the only long-lasting example we still have access to.

Is Luna, our moon, a planet?

VIIII is a valid way to write 9, though antiquated. If you look at very old clocks, you’ll see they all use this notation.

“Most men”, huh? How did they get that nice sample size of 4 billion people?

Well, there is one thing special about the light from the Sun… there’s a shit ton of it.

Did you rightfully call her a brainless worm?

Literally nobody. They just wrote any old shit on a piece of toiled paper.

I love working! … when I’m self-employed. Knowing that what I’m doing is likely to actually make a difference for someone other than a rich fuck is incredibly motivating.

Neither does he…

They do, but not so much that your average home user would notice without having more than enough time to fix the problem.

Read it as 120TB at first and my eyes nearly jumped out of their sockets.

I think that complaining that a government headed by a Jewish guy is anti-semitic is even more bonkers.

There are fusion reactor designs (most hypothetical, but some physical) which use magnetic interactions to capture the energy as electricity. The issue is that it’s orders of magnitude more complex to do, even if it increases efficiency.

Tritium is a convenience, not a necessity. If researchers manage to build a functional fusion reactor which captures the energy, we can find substitutes.

I’m just a stupid redneck.

You got that right, at least

Seems pretty useful to me, considering you only exist because of fusion.

Easy to call it bitching when you have an easy privileged life.

There are a bunch. I’ll see if I can find the exhaustive list, but you can look for it by searching “Firefox disable telemetry flags about:config” on your search engine of choice.
