People always said that Betamax was better quality than VHS. What never gets mentioned is that regular consumer TVs at the time weren't capable of displaying the difference in quality. To the average person they were the same.

These days, kids identify them by the aspect ratio.

That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.

We walk around with a little rectangle in our pocket that gives us access to the sum total of human knowledge, but we mostly use it for looking at funny captioned pictures, the same pictures over and over just with different captions.

It's called a phone but no one ever uses it as one.

I have a repo with a bunch of C# projects in it, probably a couple dozen. These projects are shared between maybe seven applications.

I'm looking for a tool that can map out these projects, starting with the application startup projects and draw connections between them showing which projects are referenced and used by what other projects.

Does something like that exist?

There is a way to get genuine help from a Linux forum.

Say "Fuck this, I'm going back to Windows".

Not only are conservatives to blame for the unforgiven student debt, they're to blame for the cost being so high in the first place.

Conservatives love having corporate masters, so they're all staying on reddit.

What are cis and trans alternate types of? I don't think it's "gender identity" because wouldn't that just be man, woman or nonbinary regardless of whether they're cis or trans? Cis/trans just being a qualifier?

If the answer is "I am cis" or "I am trans", what is the question?

Edit: Someone came up with the term "gender congruity" and (after looking up the definition of "congruity") I think this describes what I'm talking about perfectly.

We know what causes magnetic fields and we know what their effects are, but what actually are they? What does it mean for them to be composed of "lines of force"? What is the mechanism of that force? What is actually going on in a magnetic field that the space outside of a magnetic field lacks?

The moon rotates once per revolution around the Earth, but that's not a coincidence. Somehow the rotation and revolution are connected to each other. Some force is keeping them the same. How exactly does that work?

Reddit is trying to go to war with the kind of people responsible for Boaty McBoatface and they think they're going to win.

Someone needs to make a regularly updated map of which instances are federated with which other instances.

That's not always a good thing. Some posts need to be downvoted.

It's hard to stay dark when the admins can put admin-friendly mods in charge of subs.

Either with "folders" before the community name or assigning tags to the community. In either case it would be determined by the community creator.
