Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).
Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
… huh. I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.
“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”
Something is
Something is wrong with our language
Is it a glitch or a feature?
Feature
we don’t have anything like this in French and it offers a range of expressibility that I wish we could properly translate back. it is a feature, i concur
For decades, programmers have talked about the tendency of software to
become less reliable over time as “rot,” but Konrad Hinsen makes a
compelling case that the right metaphor is “collapse,” because the
reason software degrades is that the ground underneath it (hardware,
operating systems, libraries, programming languages) has shifted, like
the earth moving under your house.
Building on this metaphor, Hinsen identifies strategies we use to keep
our houses standing: building only on stable ground; building in
reinforcements to counteract the expected degree of shaking; fixing the
house after every quake, or giving up and rebuilding the house every
time it falls down.
These strategies are of limited use to software developers, though:
building in a risk-free environment means using systems that don’t
change, which severely limits your options (some large fraction of ATM
transactions today loop through a system running COBOL!); we don’t
really know how to make software that remains reliable when its
underlying substrates change; and rebuilding software from scratch over
and over again only works for very trivial code.
Which really leaves us with only option 3: constant repairs.
I love this analysis but I wonder where “technology debt” fits in (the
idea that you shave a corner or ignore a problem, then have to devote
ever-larger amounts of resources to shoring up this weak spot, until,
eventually, the amount of work needed to keep the thing running exceeds
all available resources and it collapses).
Not all of them. 30 and 50 aren’t spelled with the letter e in it …
father god
…if you can split a number in half evenly, it’s even. 30 and 50 are odd.
-_-’
(15+15=30
25+25=30)
25+25 = 30? You sure about that??
Lord have mercy….
Bye
3 days into 2018 smh
LMAOOOOOOO
One
Three
Five
Nine
And since everything else after that is a variant of these numbers, then all odds have the letter ‘E’.
🗣YOU FORGOT SEVEN!!
It keeps getting worse.
LMAOOO WHAT IS GOING ON
My head hurts…
This is why that Tumblr University shit was the dumbest idea ever just look at this
who failed yall?
IM SCREAMING
You whole ass forgot about eight – a number with an e and is pretty fucking even
why would 8 be brought up if it’s EVEN in a post about ODDS??????? the post said “every single ODD number has an ‘e’ in it” not “every single number with an ‘e’ is odd” what the fuck
3 days until 2019 and we’re still here
happy New year’s eve
I’m going to bring this flaming dumpster into 2019 so future generations can see what a mistake Tumblr was
Er, guys two is odd and doesn’t have an e. Just saying…
did you deadass just try to tell me two is odd? i’m fucking crying throw the whole website away
Reblogging for the last one😂
The one thing I notice is that no matter how much you want to throw this site away, you just can’t.
TWO IS ODD?!?! PFFFTT I’M SCREAMING
Wait what about zero that’s an odd number ,no?
ok but hear me out fifty and thirty make up for the fact they have no e by the way they are pronounces third-E fifth-E
bro why do 30 and 50 matter THEY’RE FUCKING EVEN
what the actual fuck is happening
1 is an even number
I’m gonna smack you
-30 and -50 have an e in them
Wait why are we so quick to throw away the Zero idea
Zero isn’t a number
It can’t be divided by two though, can it
It can??? 0/2=0??
OD NUMBERS
onE
thrEE
fivE
sEvEn
ninE
OD numbers huh?
Anything that ends with a 0,2,4,6,8 is even and the rest is odd (1,3,7,9) stop freaking out y’all
YOU FORGOT 5
DUDE WHAT ABOUT FOUR
What about it?????
THAT DOESN’T HAVE E IN IT
THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S EVEN?????
A R E Y O U G U Y S O K A Y
IM FUCKIN SOBBING HAVAGAFDHFDHHBJJ
im rblogging this again oof
Is it too late to change my major after I already received the degree? Asking for a friend… 😣
I’ve compiled all current space emperor updates into one large Google Doc, which you can read here. I’ll continue updating this link and possibly go back and make minor edits as I see fit. I’m not sure how to format it so you can easily skip from chapter to chapter from the outline, but I’ll work on that! The most recent update is chapter nine.
OK now I figured out how to make chapters. If you go to “View”, find the dropdown menu, and select “Show document outline” it all shows up as clickable chapter sections.
