Wow, I never clicked that the Romantic languages meant 'Roman'! Thanks!

I really like when e-readers show footnotes as pop-ups.

What are your weird food rules? by gazter in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 20 points 5 months ago

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I'm so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going 'ding!' in between?

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I'm not alone.

This is a major Life Pro Tip by gazter in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 21 points 5 months ago

This just seems like the wrong way around... Surely it's better to build the shower so the water doesn't go near the tap? Just have the tap off to the side?

Imagine having a sink where the tap was directly underneath the spout.

The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry by gazter in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 19 points 5 months ago

Eurovision has very little to do with being in Europe. Even Australia is in Eurovision, and they are definitely not in Europe.

What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world? by gazter in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 13 points 7 months ago

Those little squeeze packets are an Aussie invention, I believe!

What is the workaround for regionally locked DVDs? by gazter in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 19 points 8 months ago

Are you using a hardware DVD player? Google the model number +region unlock or region free code.

Industrial robot crushes man to death in South Korean distribution centre by gazter in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 21 points 9 months ago

Without knowing the setup, it's all guesswork- But if I had to guess, the program the robot ran through would be a series of movements that results in a box that is this size and this shape in this position being moved perfectly well to this particular spot.

Humans are not that size, that shape, or in that position.

I've not worked industrial in Asia, but where I have worked there has been stringent protocols around locking out machinery that has the potential to kill. For someone to enter a hazardous area, they have to remove any potential source of energy (eg, disconnecting power to motors, draining hydraulic pressure, lowering suspended loads, etc) and use a lock that only they have access to to prevent that energy returning. I'm guessing that this incident either did not have that procedure in place, or it was in place but not followed correctly.

Why cant the Middle East just chill out? by gazter in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

The region was defined by constant conflict and instability before Britain and France were even a twinkle in a Celtic eye.

The maximum size of a PDF compared to Europe. by gazter in c/importantimages@lemmy.best

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 21 points 11 months ago

Why the heck is it constrained in inches? If I open a pdf on two screens of different sizes, with the zoom at 100%, will the features be the same size or not?
