The bad jokes topic 🐴🍹👨

There were rumors of drug trafficking in a prison nearby. The administration decided the prisoners would be periodically tested.
They hired rival technician teams to administer the urine tests. It was a big pissing con test.

The bastards, the C*%ts.
Sorry, moment of irate distraction there.
I was going to mention that perhaps it was referring to the new GB size they introduced for the muggles. When I went to check my "facts", I realised that what we have all been used to i.e. 1KB = 1024 bytes has been reinvented as KiB. So we have to redefine ALL our stuff just so the fucking muggles can understand something they have little or no interest in except to know if thing A is bigger / better than thing B. And even then the don't give a shit if 4.096 is bigger than 2.048 'cos 4 IS BIGGER than 2 /rant

In reality it wasn't because of marketing & muggles. Blame it on telecommunications.They've been using base-10 powers since dawn of days: kbps -> 10^3 bits per second. Then, those 'engineers' branch out to other markets and brought along their base-10 everything.
-
Did you just recently wake from a decade long coma or something?
Because I imagine something on that order of magnitude would be required in order for you to be just finding out and feeling surprised by this Ki stuff.The rage is justified though.

Anyway, back on topic:
I just met a really down to earth prostitute.
She said, "It was a business doing pleasure with you."

Until now I had not taken any interest in it. 1KB is 1KB as far as I am concerned. I just deal with the serious philosophical questions like: is 1MB, 1KB x 1KB or 1KB * 1000
On a similar note, I have always been painfully aware of this sort of trickery. Especially back in the days of 2 digit (or less) MB HDD. You see a 40MB HDD, you buy a 40MB HDD, you install a 40MB HDD you format it and get a 30MB HDD. So I suppose, after awhile, it becomes irrelevant or a built in autonomic "fudge factor"
For the purposes of this (minor) rant) I am acknowledging, but ignoring BIOS Drive Types and limitations etc.

While the question is interesting, the answer is simple: it's 1048576 (shame on all who don't know this number by heart).
Especially back in the days
Funnily this discrepancy gets larger and larger with every new unit we go up.
40 MB ≈ 38.1 MiB
40 GB ≈ 37.3 GiB
40 TB ≈ 36.4 TiB
40 PB ≈ 35.5 PiBIt's painful to use that kibi/mebi nonsense even semi-seriously but I feel comparison between K/Ki units is the place to use them to disambiguate.

From Wikipedia:
"Muggles" is the title of a recording by Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra,.
It was recorded in Chicago on December 7, 1928. The title refers to the use of the word "muggles" as a slang term for marijuana amongst jazz musicians of the 1920s and 1930s. Armstrong was an enthusiastic user of marijuana, which was legal in most American states at the time.
(Just one more reason for the champions of purity to crucify Rowling.)

The original post is from [here][1]:
In front of the bank in Lion's Arc, a Charr is surrounded by some other players. I was just be able to see the latter half, but the dialog is interesting.
Layla: It's like GW1 all over again. Nasty charr -_-
The Charr in the middle whose name is Ec: :x
Jonny: never trust charrs!
Layla: I've killed lots of charrs.
(Jonny is starring at Layla)
(Layla laughs)
(Ec sobs)
(糟糕的Tabbi pads Ec)
Layla: Even if you cry, it'll just make things worse. > <
糟糕的Tabbi: Yeah! It'll just make your helm rust!
Ec: ITS STAINLESS cries
糟糕的Tabbi: But it's made in china. so ya never know
Ec: MADE IN CHARRNA

She's still not talking to me.

She's still stuck on that incident?

She's trying to hold it together.

I guess that puts her in quite a bind.

At least she must have kept a stiff upper lip to get through that ordeal.

If all the computer programmers in the world were laid end to end... OK, if one computer programmer were... nope, still wouldn't happen.

I think we need a "moan" or "groan" button, as in "that is so bad."

is 1MB, 1KB x 1KB or 1KB * 1000
It's closer to the latter, but only because 1048576 (bytes squared) is a pretty dumb concept.

Q: What did one presidential candidate say to the other during the debate?
A: Nothing, they talk to a hypothetical "fourth-wall" person to give the illusion they are addressing the voter base.
Q: What did the presidential candidate say during their speech?
A: Whatever their unpaid intern wrote for them.
Q: How can you tell that a presidential candidate is lying?
A: By analyzing the statistics of previous candidates, for the promises made during the campaign versus what they actually did with their term (controlling for ambiguous wording, or situations where it became economically or socially unfeasible to fulfill the promise, despite best intentions). This will also have to be controlled by the fact that each president is a human being in a vastly complex machine that is the government, which is effected by a plethora of uncontrollable and varying outside factors that are different based on the time and culture they appear in. However, as a predictor of the accuracy of a candidate's truthfulness, past performance of similar people in similar situations (ie: candidates who are then elected) can be used as a rough metric to predict a probability, and by all known metrics, that probability often comes out heavily weighted against the candidate being completely truthful at any given moment.
Q: Why did the presidential candidate do a marathon dressed in red, blue and yellow?
A: Because he was running in the primaries.
That's not funny.

I thought about LabVIEWing myself, but that doesn't quite sound like an innuendo.

This joke seems pretty well mined out at this point

Well then, allow me to Impress you:

Simplification:
@Lorne_Kates said:

simplifies toprobability is always 1
which allows dispensing with the long-winded analysis of the probability, and is also more accurate, since your weasel-word version allows the possibility that truthfulness. However, if you prefer a version more similar to your original,
