And if it’s something you don’t really care about, they’re meticulous or pedantic.

Yup. Another aspect of this is that I sometimes find myself in a conversation with someone (it’s happened here on Lemmy too) about something technical. I might tell them about an approach that I might use, or my preference, mostly just making conversation, and the reply isn’t conversational at all, it’s argumentative and sometimes even confrontational or combative.

Luckily Lemmy allows for tagging these people so that I won’t bother making conversation with these again. I usually tag these people after shutting down the “discussion” with something like “No, I will not address what you said. I was making conversation, you were after a debate that you could win. I am not interested in typing just to feed your ego, so I see no point in resuming this thread”

This, plus it helps to keep in mind that it’s not your responsibility to educate people even if they’re objectively wrong. Nor is it your responsibility to change the mind of people with garbage opinions.

When someone is argumentative, they are rarely after an actual conversation, or even a debate. They’re after an interaction they can win.
They are not entitled to your engagement.

I am by no metric an expert, hell I am barely proficient, as I found a recipe online after I got back from Malaysia, but it’s somewhat simple. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of ingredients that isn’t easy to find where I live.

Used to eat it as often as I could when I visited southeast asia

Scandinavia. Not sure if Finland geographically counts as part of Scandinavia, but they can join too if the want to. Same goes for Iceland and Faroe Island.

Just need to figure out a mechanism that prevents the Danes and Swedes from steamrolling the politics this time around.

That’s because of the handler, not the hardware. It doesn’t matter if 9 of us are perfect pissers if a tenth person stops by and sprays the entire stall.

First meme I thought of too

I just cut the onions on the stove with the ventilator running. It allows me to slice/dice/mince the onions however which way I want without any tears.

First of all: Thanks for stepping up

Secondly: Hopefully pedantic dorks won’t cause the mod queue to clog up

Thirdly: Reported for rule 4, “Self promotion”

…the result of having an extremely rare last name.

I recently used such an envelope to return a sheet where I had just written “poop”, using my left hand for extra aesthetics. I also added some screws and nuts I had laying around in case it’d increase the postage. My GF called me childish. I call it the result of ignoring the no-spam-registry everyone in my country is legally bound to follow.

Used it in the past, and it’sa pretty alright desktop OS. It would work as a server OS, but that’s not really its main focus.

It’s debian based, so might as well go for actual debian.

“I have two copies of War Thunder running, and neither is working”

Yeah, the mechanical part of this is easy enough, but unless you make the stand out of wolfram and ridiculously big, it’s gonna topple.

I think fixing it on a linear bearing is the only way.

It’s been a while since I selfhosted my email, but I found it pretty efficient to set up a spam filter that periodically logged into my Gmail address and used its spam folder to train a bayes classifier.

I just mix it in with the blinker fluid. 12:1 ratio

I’d argue that the fledgling state didn’t have much of a choice but to effectively outsource all civil services to the catholic church, considering that they couldn’t afford running it themselves.

Their only fault on their part is how it was allowed to stay that way.

Firefox has been rewritten as a Perl/Tk script.

Even I, fluent in both, am appalled at the idea.

Been a hetzner customer for around 20 years. No regrets.
