There’s a house in my area that gives out potatoes. Kids love it.
Then when houses run out of candy, some of the kids give them their potatoes (and candy) so more kids can trick-or-treat.
Kinda awesome seeing a 3yo get excited that they got a potato.
The crunch of the toast vs the softness of the bread. The saltiness and richness of the butter against the spice of the pepper.
It’s got contrast across two food metrics! Beats the shit out of PB&Js, and you don’t get peanut fragments stuck in your teeth.
It’s poverty food (for when butter didn’t cost $20/kg), but it’s not half bad.
This should be the way.
I hate how ordering something gives you an obligation to fries, or rice, or whatever.
I might want a burger with some wings instead.
Hypothetically, they could be placing orders for all the other chips needed in their other hardware, predicated on delivery on memory chips.
My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.
With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.
Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.
I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.
The flip side is, migrating off proton is an absolute shitty experience.
I miss the individuality of the old internet. Websites, communities, and users being themselves.
ShitNugget9000 on one forum might be SirReginald79 on another.
Policies set for the community, not the leaseholder.
The internet controlled by a hegemony sucks.
Lmao.
Using floats for nearly anything in a finance platform should be grounds for immediate dismissal.
You can run it on pretty much every esp.
I’ve had issues with getting it working on lilygo devices, but had no problem with basic cheap “devkits” from AliExpress.
True. They’re not unique to EVs, but was a bit of a shock after a small hatchback and a van.
Biggest maintenance cost on our EV so far was a $1000 tyre after a puncture.
They’re so much more expensive than regular car tyres.
It’s the balls that get you.
B.b.b.b.but It allows anyone without artistic talent to learn use AI prompting to produce something that they could never create themselves (without practice).
We’ll ignore how this makes the “prompt artist” completely reliant on a handful of corporations.
Iirc, It was a national problem. Not just Tesco.
Nobody in the supply chain was being overly cautious about what their suppliers were providing them. Resulting in horse meat being found in loads of places.
It’s pending all its cycles simulating our consciousness simulations, instead of rendering further out.
And how many admissions compared to motorcycles there are.
The ban was specifically in the context of toys.
We banned toy magnets. Magnets for other purposes are still completely legal.

New Zealand seems to have an aversion to accountability.
The amount of places I’ve worked or people I’ve talked to whose employers throw money at consultants to act as a buffer when things go tits up is absurd (doubly so the amount that get fired when they’re not reporting back what the employer wants to hear).
But with that ingrained culture, surely it must create an opportunity? Be a middleman for projects. Be the person to cop the blame when budgets blow out.
So many reasons.
