… 9/10 response. I chuckled!

We’re not. Jack is just another way to say “guy”, “man”, or “dude”

Edit: or more specifically but less relevant now, “peasant” or “commoner”, someone of low social status.

Kind of interesting to compare to “Guy”, another instance of a given name turned into a generic term.

That’s not really a hierarchy thing though.

Just a measure of how skilled / experienced someone is, and how suitable it is for them to be teaching someone else.

I think we need more people sharing their knowledge and we don’t need the blind leading the blind.

So they’re lying. Nice.

Probably because they’re dead simple.

It’s not even about preference but about versatility and adaptability.

You don’t have to be prefer to use them, but being able to deal with the unexpected and figure out the unfamiliar is generally a sign of intelligence.

Okay close enough to “get it” I think.

Honestly it could be. As I read it, it looks like it’s just the oil tank falling off the oil gun and splashing oil on their face (in the eyes?), but it’s kind of hard to tell.

No jack stands? That’s just looking for trouble.

If it helps, there is evidence that you don’t actually need to reference them. Just writing them down helps the memory process.

Normally the inside of the letter does not extend outside the interior but okay.

Impact. This is not normal impact.

What the hell is going on with that font?

It’s a downvote, not an insult. This whole conversation is a tempest in a teapot.

Might be easier for different platforms.

On Lemmy/Voyager it doesn’t seem really feasible but perhaps it’s more obvious elsewhere.

Alright, I’ll bite.

I’m a bit surprised that anyone would bother to note a downvote, let alone dig deep enough to investigate who downvoted and then specifically call them (me) out in the comments. It feels over the top and borderline malicious.

As to why I downvoted in this case, two reasons:

• discussion of someone’s pet name for a family member seems very irrelevant in this case, not particularly “contributing to the conversation”. I get why the question was asked and answered but it seems so far from anything important, especially now that it’s been explained.
• it bothers me that someone would write as if the reader should be expected to somehow know who their husband is, let alone by reference to their pet name.

Lastly, I don’t know why someone would ever be so invested in up- or down-votes at all. It’s not like the fediverse has the Reddit concept of “Karma” or whatever one wants to call fake internet points. It’s disappointing to have a negative total on a post sure but it’s completely ephemeral and irrelevant to one’s life.

Not sure I should be engaging here but are you seriously stalking downvotes?

Oh no, are beans back in vogue on Lemmy?

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

Bro’s not saying you have to memorize the manual, just like … read it. Even a bit of familiarity goes a long way.

If you have literally no memory then command line is 100% unusable but otherwise every little bit helps.

And yet if they don’t they risk becoming irrelevant.
