Kurzgesagt went hugely downhill, I’ll still watch the occasional video from them, but most of what they do now is super speculative tenuous science with 5 min of sponsored content.
I remember way back in the day I enjoyed laci green for her sex ed content, but she just suddenly went super right wing.
I think it’s more likely that ppl will simply become the more expected way to spell it. When was the last time you saw someone write out etcetera, and ASAP is common in all but the most formal of settings.
it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term.
Seems like it’s pretty important we not burn through our finite reserves of it if we can help it. I’m not saying we should reach zero nuclear, but I don’t think we should be relying on it too much either.
You may appreciate “miracle workers” the first season is set in modern times (kinda) but each other season is set in a different historical setting.
That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.
I don’t think that’s weird, twitch really doesn’t want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.
Yep and when they pay for better they tend to ship the engineer to their base of operations. Huge brain drain.
I recently got to buy myself a new oven, and I got one of those double compartment ones for exactly that reason, and it’s awesome, especially for pizza.
Obviously I’m not suggesting you replace your oven just for that, but if anyone is in the market for one I highly recommend a double compartment oven
I mostly wfh so not really a problem anynore. However, I had a trick from before covid. My companies av is trash, it scans any new files created with a single thread, there’s a exception for the directory we compile in (although it’s frequently failing and scanning anyway 🙄) but I keep a repo outside that directory for when I want make my compile take 6hours instead of 10minutes. I also have this as my screensaver
so why not rm -rf folder/.git/* then rm -r folder/*
I have a buckwheat pillow. I find it extremely comfortable, it reduced my neck pain. It is hard, but molds to the shape of your neck in a very comfortable way. It doesnt get lumoy in the same way a traditional pillow does.I have replaced it once now, first set lasted about 2 years. I personally greatly value that it is renewable material. The up front is kinda high, but the cost to replace the stuffing is low. I think it’ll be comparable to a cheap regular pillow after one more replacement, which I think it’s definitely durable enough to get to I also bet im paying a but more for hulls than i needed if i was willing to shop around. It’s also cool cause you can clean the pillow itself quite easily by just emptying the hulls out. It stays cooler than a standard pillow.
For downsides, it is like sleeping on a beanbag. I’ve heard some say it’s “loud” in that your ear is pressed right up against it and you can hear the hulls(?) Move around if you move, nit a problem for me, but people with sensory issues beware. I found that the grain made a texture that overtime annoyed my cheek, but a second pillow case was enough to fix that problem for me. It’s quite heavy, I like this because it neans it moves less, but my wife finds it annoying.
I got one, had my wife get one after trying mine and I’m thinking of a gettibg a 3rd at some point. I got mine from comfy comfy and I would recommend their contour version as it seems to keep the hulls distributed more evenly than the standard.
the old owners of my home neglected to get the the eves-troughs fixed (they were shitty landlords), it cost me about 10K for the replacement which will last 20+yrs. the leaking water ruined every window frame in the house, and cost us about 50K to repair that damage. replacing those windows also like halved our heating/cooling bills (and made the upper floors comfortable to exist in). Luckily we got a nice interest free government loan because it’s greenifying our home.
they had all kinds of other landlord specials, like pouring concrete (not levelled right) down the basement drain and making the stairs to the attic out of plywood. fuck landlords. Did I mention they made over 400k on the appreciation of the house and were probably making 2-3K more per month than their mortgage from renting.
I buy maps as art pieces, I would never use a map for navigating but I guess I rarely go somewhere remote enough that power is a concern.
Inside out tracking sucks and is the main reason I still use my index. While I see the advantages of wireless, personally find it much more important to not have to charge it.
Nothing with a recent AMD gfx Card or APU will officially support S3, and I think Nvidia is the same. Just because it isn’t supported doesn’t mean they’ll intentionally break anything, but over time you’ll have more and more bugs related to it and one day it will break and never be fixed.
Personally I use S4 (hibernate) more or less exclusively.
The communist manifesto is a good place to start with the communist perspective. It’s written intentionally to be relatively easy to understand, but it was also written 200years ago and translated from german.

I think this is the only time excel hasn’t decided something was a date.
I think steam deck is a pretty good choice from that perspective.
There is little vendor lock in, you could upgrade from a deck to a competitor and so long as it uses steam you won’t really be missing out on anything
Valve has gone in pretty hard on repairability. so while it may become obsolete (and I don’t think it will for a while, Moores law isn’t what it used to be) it should still be able to run very far down the line.
The steam controller and ecosystem planned around it was a financial failure. While there were a hunch of enthusiasts into the steam controller (myself included) it never gained mainstream appeal. The steam machine that it was meant to synergize with did even worse. Otoh the valve index did pretty well and still is quite a popular pick if you wanna get into vr today despite being 5 yrs old, while vr wasnt as successful as i think some wanted (I blame meta for that!) It did carve out a niche for valve that helos there long term plans. The steam deck has been a run away success and also brings a big boost to a lot of valves long term strategies (decoupling from windows, competing with consoles, giving people a reason to stay on steam), and its already seen a refresh. I would be very surprised to not see a steamdeck 2, although it may be a while (valve has stated as much, because they want to make it easy for devs to target steam deck for recommended specs)
IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.
