You’re conflating “disk” with “drive”.
An SSD is not a disk.
This is correct in most cases but I don’t think it’s the underlying principle.
This wiki talks about the etymology, with a lot of examples. Most conform to this rule, but there are exceptions in astrophysics like an accretion disk.
Even in info tech, “hard disk” doesn’t really conform to this rule. Like is a hard disk a square hard drive or is it the round thing inside? If it’s the square hard drive, that’s not thin enough to be a “disk”. I’d it’s the round thing inside that would be hard disc, but also creates problems for floppy disk because why refer to the housing in one instance but not another.
Sadly, I think the correct answer is that either refers to a thin flat thing, some spellings are preferred for some uses.
Surely they wouldn’t do that…
“Look at how expensive crooked sleepy Joe biden has made this trash. Who would even buy this.”
It just seems to be how it goes. It’s the same here in Australia. The conservatives fuck everyone who is not already wealthy, then the progressive get elected just long enough to get blamed for how fucked everything is, and the conservatives get elected again because they’re “superior economic managers”.
I know, but the commenter I replied to is obviously American and I didn’t want to just outright tell them, and thought it was more polite to just let the implication hang there.
Japanese cars are more expensive than American here also.
These are actually a bit of a cult classic in Australia. Very desirable, great 4wd campers.
Video is totally fake right?
Like you don’t need any fancy CGI or AI stuff even.
Yes the video included a real tattoo thingy but that doesn’t mean it’s a real tattoo.
As messed up as things are in 2024 I refuse to acknowledge that a nice young lady would do this to herself.
I think that’s the joke.
Maybe a call centre operated by map producers, intended more for questions about routes and conditions rather than “take the third left” kind of navigation.
