Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is hate how USB standards are named

"3.2 Gen 1" makes me want to replace my kidneys with hand grenades

Just call them "3.0", "3.1", and "3.2"

At leaat it seems like USB 4.0 (or wait..."USB4") will fix things temporarily

USB-IF has a golden opportunity to make one connector that rules them all, and they're throwing it away by making a zillion stupid variations that are all confusingly named

Like, does your USB-C support thunderbolt? Which version? How about displayport? Charging? What about which USB 3.2 it's using, if it's not 4.0?

I'm actually not a huge fan of one port to rule them all honestly

I think there should be, per-domain though

Most modern devices are too small for USB-A now

E.g., DisplayPort for video, USB-C for data transfer and HIDs, some magsafe-like thing for power, etc.

@emanresuA Oh yeah definitely. My current laptop has the jankiest mechanism to make them fit. The bottom of the USB port is like, slanted inward, but spring loaded so you can push it down to fit a USB plug in

I have an adapter with that

I wonder what the wattage of a human is as a space heater

Assuming a 2000 kcal/day diet, which is metabolized at an equal rate throughout the day...

Hmm, ~97 watts

Feels too low

Although it is cool to imagine that my body is currently using enough energy to power an incandescent bulb

@RadvylfPrograms ಠ_ಠ

I never thought I would see those words together in a sentence, but here we are

@Ginger I guess you've got higher opinions of 4chan users than I do I guess

Why is it so hard to find high quality furniture

good question

I want to buy a somewhat minimal black 60" computer desk. That is literally my only requirement.

And I can't find anything good.

I've already decided that once I'm a multimillionaire I'm going to just hire some guy to make me some really high quality furniture for like $20k

Life's too short for tables that go "eekaeeekaeeka" when you push on them

has his grandson sent him any new comics lately

That was also not my intention

@mousetail then don't ping me

@UndoneStudios

@mousetail looks like i accidentally muted my mic

don't do it again though

@UndoneStudios

@mousetail boo, get your own joke :p

How tf does pinging you give you a shock?

@mousetail I was exaggerating!

I was writing some stuff, while you ping me and send me jumping up high

and I nearly got in trouble

Jumping is good exercise

@mousetail while trying not to get caught chatting? I disagree

Where are you on a saturday that's illegal to chat?

@mousetail in a tuition class?

Oh that sucks

@mousetail don't worry I like it though

mostly freedom

Stockholm syndrome

@mousetail Basically the opposite of Mount Fraught Syndrome

if you know what I mean

Just look things up when you don't know them instead of making bad jokes about them

@mousetail you've never read ASOUE?

A very long time ago

I really wouldn't remember specific places

ah then of course you don't know Mount Fraught Syndrome

it's where Sunny was in TSS

I still don't see how it reates in any way to stockholm syndrome

@mousetail at the wrong time you said that

@mousetail it's the opposite

In what way?

I'm actually trying to look it up but the wiki is unhelpfull

Mount Fraught syndrome is when a hostage develops a hate for the hostage-taker

instead of friendliness

That seems pretty normal

@mousetail yup

it's more common than stockholm syndrome

@mousetail this was totally said at the wrong time, I knew exactly what I was talking about

Fair enough, the joke was still terrible though

And not in a so bad it's good way

That wasn't a joke, I meant it intentionally

I wished I added a (pun unintended)

@all who thought that was a joke?

Well then it wasn't relevant at all

How? I just mentioned something interesting but you turned it into another topic

Well I gtg eat my dinner lunch now bye

then if that's the conversation done, I'm moving it to OTTNB
