If anyone were ever to work behind him on something they’re very familiar with, they’d have to tear it all down and rebuild it because he just invents his own way as he goes

That’s not the virtue you think it is.

Psst. We don’t do logic here.

Not a shitpost.

Is that Tom Scott from the future?

the extra comic panel was introduced as an incentive to do so - you would see it after voting

We’re talking about the “random” comic link.

Without JS the button points to the RSS feed. This serves as a placeholder. The button was most likely copied and pasted.

Upon page load the website makes a call to the /rand.php endpoint, which returns a date in ISO8601 format. That is then used to produce the actual link.

				<script>
		$.get("/rand.php",function(data){
			$('.cc-navaux').attr('href','https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/' + data);
		});
		</script>

(lines 172ff. of the HTML source) Why? Ask the author.

That spoiler didn’t work, at least on lemmy.

As an individual, when you’re presented with the choice of giving up yourself for the rest of mankind, don’t you think 10 minutes (minus the time it takes to receive the call) is a bit tight to think about it?

Not for me. Did you maybe find an easter egg?

I once asked a cashier in Germany if she thought self-checkouts would take away her job. She said she liked them because there’s enough to do anyway and they take away the boring task of cashier-ing.

I’ve never seen a self-checkout that accepts cash in Germany.

If you’d be so kind, how far do you have to get away from a flat mirror to show your whole image?

Null pointer – sends the victim on a quest they can never fulfill.

I thought Ubisoft was known for their shitty launchers.

It might simply be over-exertion. I get cramps when I walk a lot. Maybe your resting position already includes tension in your calves?

Apparently the link between magnesium deficiency and cramps is shaky.

magnesium supplementation compared to placebo for treating idiopathic rest cramps […] Did not significantly reduce cramp frequency

I never knew that Hertz requires a periodic event. Thanks for that and the Becquerel explanation!

TIL about dpt

Tell me you don’t [Edit: need] glasses without telling me you don’t need glasses :D

That’s interesting. Obviously, you’d put a center dot to disambiguate millihertz from meter-hertz, but I can’t recall ever having learned a rule about that. So some combinations of units are inherently ambiguous?

Also: Hz/dpt.

No, it does.
