We know how it works, but we can't explain exactly how it got to the answers.

Rocks erode too, particularly ones with waves hitting them all the time and cycling between wet and frozen.

It wants to show you a graph of your air quality.

You have a good length of wire. Why not just cut it and reuse the connector?

I'm thinking a bit of both.

He wrote about couch fucking in his book like it's something everyone does. He likes to add a lubed glove.

I miss when I didn't know this sort of thing about the candidates...

Also: Move stuff, don't delete it. It's faster to restore from a renamed folder than from backup.

Maybe they need to stop reusing old Sunny D jugs for storing insect repellent.

We may have just gotten lucky. I also had a great time in Venice once by wandering off randomly and ending up somewhere I can only assume tourists don't normally go. We bought some fruit off a boat which was both delicious and very affordable, so I assume the target demographic was not tourists. I'm pretty sure that's not the universal experience of Venice either.

You can work around this with a combination of LinkSheet and Lemmy Redirect. However, it gave me trouble logging into Samsung SmartThings once, don't remember why.

We were in the mood for a chill day, so it was nice to just chill in a park and walk through some random old neighborhoods until we stumbled across a restaurant. There's nothing chill about Milan, though, at least not where a clueless tourist would find it.

"Just Google it" was always worthless advice, even when Google worked right. When you look up information on the Internet, you need prior knowledge in order to assess the information. Maybe this is great info? Maybe it's dumb and whoever wrote it is a moron? Without prior knowledge you don't know. With prior knowledge you can see what they say about the things you already know and decide from that.

I once tried to configure a Cisco access point, with zero prior experience with Cisco IOS. Simple stuff, but I knew nothing and had to Google it. I found some blog explaining it, but it looked weird. But I also knew IOS is weird, so maybe it's right? Hard to say! I reached out to an old friend who is Cisco certified to verify, he told me to ignore that thing and showed me what I should actually do. It really made me realize how useless googling something is if you don't have the prior knowledge to assess it.
