They say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. Well what is doing the same thing over and over again and GETTING different results? (self.showerthoughts)

Tennis uses the imperial system of scoring (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/showerthoughts

11 comments fedilink

Tennis uses multiples of 15, but only up to 45, calls other points weird names, then closes a set, which has to be repeated at least 6 times for a separate scoring, with said scoring also needing to be repeated AT LEAST 3 more times, but can be dragged out ad infinitum.

Even table tennis has the decency of using a straight scoring system where 11 points wins a set and 2 sets wins the match.

Different stations produce different shows and share them among each other. That’s federation, baby.

I'm curious how many collectors-item level baseball cards were wrapped around bicycle forks with clothes-pegs in childhood to make a flappity-flap motor sound in the spokes. (self.showerthoughts)

I wouldn't be as worried about them going out of business and me being stuck with half broken car software.

Can tell a business will go the way of the dodo when it requires passwords to have janky symbols, forced capitalization, or weird numbers of letters (self.showerthoughts)

There are emotions I don't know how to express without my glasses on. (self.showerthoughts)

I emote with my glasses a lot. Slowly pulling them off in amazement, sarcastically looking over the top of the rims, etc. How do people who can actually see handle it?

The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.
