Am I going to have to start adding typos to my text on purpose?

boonhet ,

Notifications stay around until you tap on them or swipe them away. In the notification center at least.

IF probably works for some people because it reduces food noise for them.

Anything you can do to reduce food noise allows you to eat less, allows you to lose weight

Ain't no god where we're going!

The implication here seems to be that the EU is shitty too, just less shitty. Which I kinda agree with, they try to push through nasty shit like chat control, link tax and whatever. But it's nice to sometimes have human interest ahead of corporate ones still.

boonhet ,

Yeah I'm pretty sure dealing with corruption is a fairly recent thing there.

If you can learn the combat system, it's an awesome game. Some people give up on it because of the combat, which is kinda punishing with low stats and crappy gear, but also requires surprising your opponent as well as anticipating their moves.

Ugh I hate it because she's a shitty neoliberal from a political family (her dad being quite the controversial figure), but quite often the things she says make sense.

A good bunch of them also transported into Europe by Russia to try and destabilize the EU. They literally used human beings as a political/economical weapon. Not to absolve the US of any guilt here, but to illustrate how that was kind of an attack from two sides in a way.

Oil dictatorships are superior because look at the football players Saudi Arabia is buying

Rtings rates Focal Bathys very highly but kinda expensive.

Thank you for bringing light into a dark time for many.

I'm not American but I still want to see the fascists fail, not just because I don't want anyone to suffer through it, but also because if those fuckers are successful, it could start another wave of increased far-right popularity here, last one was about a decade ago.

Tauri isn't actually a language in this instance, it's a framework to create WebView based GUI applications with Rust

Yeah the only really good thing about him was that he opposed Putin lol

boonhet ,

Isn't it? You're shorting the battery terminals by connecting them directly, it's just a shitty wire lol

There was an article a few years ago where a few athletes were interviewed anonymously IIRC. It's a fuckfest. You put a lot of people in peak physical shape together, what are you expecting?

boonhet ,

10k literally just isn't enough. Summer Olympics where there are 3-4x more athletes tend to have hundreds of thousands in stock.

Other products have incremental upgrades

Teams gets excremental "upgrades"

If I read it correctly, it was analog and they found that only the signal amplitude was meaningfully changed, not the quality

I'm pretty sure I've had sex on Valentines day at least a few times, but that's been in relationships where I'd have sex fairly regularly anyway. Maybe it's the annual day that people in unhealthy relationships beg for the sex they are never going to get?

Even if it is, centralized power stations and the transmission losses for charging EVs are in total more efficient than small internal combustion engines.

boonhet ,

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has declared Cuba "an unusual and extraordinary threat" to U.S. national security.

Why? Is he afraid Americans will revolt when they hear about Cuba's superior healthcare system and longer life expectancy that they've managed to attain in the face of blockades?

boonhet ,

Well there's less also less pressure on the oil reserves when there's fewer cars using them

Let's not forget that Cubans would generally drive 1950s American cars from before the blockade, as well as soviet cars from... Doesn't matter when, they were never particularly efficient either lmao

An EV might use 5x less fuel than a 1950's Chevy even if charged wholly by an oil-based power plant. They're also building up solar capacity.

boonhet ,

I in fact have not, I don't live right next to it like you do :)

boonhet ,

It was sight hyperbole yes, I'm just slightly farther away at 8700 km so it's a bit more expensive for me lol

boonhet ,

Oh definitely true, I meant that even assuming they're staying with cars, the cars would be lighter on the oil reserves than ICE.

But as I read, they're also using plenty of EVs that are not ecars. Which is even better.

boonhet ,

Apple's consistently a mixed bag of good and bad. Most tech people tend to focus on the bad, Apple users tend to focus on the good. I just play devil's advocate for whichever side is getting more flak, which usually means pro-Apple lol

Oftentimes, regulators have to tell them to get their shit together (alt stores in the EU). Sometimes their shit is together and it's the regulators who want them to fuck it up. Another example is when they had to stop offering ADP in the UK because the UK wanted a backdoor

boonhet ,

In fact they have LGBTQ characters in plenty of their shows and overall I'd say there's a progressive vibe to a lot of the content. Loot makes fun of rich people. Severance is a lot of things, but it also makes fun of meaningless jobs. Decent amount of PoC representation (IMO) without making a point of being exclusively non-white. Because Apple knows the audience they want to appeal to, and it ain't a bunch of old conservative men.

pedos and Trump

One of these sets contains the other set in its entirety

Oh hey thanks, I've just recently realized I need a pair of backup glasses and I'd forgotten Zenni existed. I also remembered I have a prescription from a few years ago and my eyesight has been stable for the last decade AND I found a pair in exactly my style from literally the front page. Might as well get the id-guard ones even though facial recognition isn't being pushed here... yet. IR blocking seems semi-useful even without that given that the day orb spews IR and UV at us all day long.

boonhet ,

Don't they also have regular old cross-country skiing in the winter Olympic games? That's pretty safe

My theory:

I think it used to be that the customers for Unreal Engine oftentimes weren't all these big studios at all. The only AAA games I personally remember from late 2000s and early 2010s that used UE, other than Epic's own games of course, were the Mass Effect games.

Now they've got investors to please (Tencent) so they keep pushing new features that look great in showcase trailers, for big studio execs to pick Unreal. And it seems to be working. Downside is that these things need to be used really carefully or sometimes not at all, but they're advertised as the end-all-be-all solution to make things pretty and easier to build. I'm talking about Lumen, Megalights, Nanite, etc.

E.g Nanite makes little to no sense for games where all your scenes are low complexity. You'll just lose a bunch of performance. It starts making sense when you have a lot of complex geometry and then it boosts how much you can actually do at the top end. Not every game needs it.

I've never lived in a huge city, but where I live (Estonia), city planning is much better than much of North America so usually you wouldn't live too far from a grocery store, walking is usually an option, otherwise there's public transit. There's literally nothing weird about bringing your grocery bags on a bus or train or whatever.

If you don't have a car, you just shop for one or two days at a time usually. This way you can actually get fresher ingredients sometimes and you don't have to plan an entire week ahead at once. In fact, I'm lazy and just shop for one or two days at a time despite having a car and sometimes using it to go to the grocery store. I just don't know what I'll want to eat 2 days from now!

boonhet ,

There's places in the world where your suburban cul-de-sac can actually be located in a walkable city and the grocery store is very close despite living in a suburb where most people have cars.

Even suburbs can be a lot better than they are in the US.

boonhet ,

Finally, this excites me much more than Wero, despite the fact that my country isn't even in the planned initial rollout list. Hopefully it'll be here soon too.

Vastlakuklid here in Estonia. Over here it's either just whipped cream inside (boring) or more commonly whipped cream and jam (usually lingonberry) or sometimes they may have marzipan too

boonhet ,

I'm not American and don't hablo español, I still watched it 2 or 3 times lol, just such a great show

Probably, but also Cardi B used to drug and rob men who wanted to sleep with her, so all things considered this would be a pretty funny tweet by DHS if it wasn't the fucking DHS

boonhet ,

Well first off, whether or not an internal combustion engine is called a motor or an engine differs by region for English-speakers and in fact in my language there's only "mootor", for both electric and combustion engines.

Secondly, the engine on an enginecycle could also be a two-cycle engine, that's common in small engined dirtbikes and moped particularly.

Thirdly, this may depend on your local legislation, but where I live, a low-power e-bike would be a moped and a high-power e-bike would be a motorcycle. In terms of the license requirements anyway. If it's limited to 25 km/h and requires pedaling, then it's an assisted bicycle and requires no license and no helmet (provided you're over 16).

boonhet ,

AGPL is restrictive so actually having MIT is a backup option weakens the AGPL license. And in particular having the ability to ship closed source binaries if you wish to, under a commercial license, means AGPL means jack shit here to those who want everything to be copyleft

Turns out even the magas don't actually like Kid Rock, they only like that he wants to fuck kids like they do

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A serene parc outside the University of Magic under the great teapot moonshine. The gothic sorceress and her blond elf new friend, and a magician, are all sitting and chatting, smiling around a little fire. All the little group don't have their AI (Avian Intelligence) Parrots and have books, sketchbook, a knitting kit, and sit under a banner: "The NO AI Club". In the background, the headmaster walks with a lantern with his AI Parrot flying near his shoulder is shocked at the small club. Panel 2. Shot on the headmaster, in anger, his face red with indignation: > Headmaster: "Why don't you have your Avian Intelligence with you? It's the future! You can't stop it!" Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress turns around, holding her arm out like a weapon towards the headmaster, and casts a spell, emitting a magical light from her fingers. > Gothic sorceress: "Muteo!" Panel 4. The same view angle as in panel 1, the gothic sorceress smirks and she is proud of herself. The headmaster continues to scream at them in distance, but his speech bubble now only has a 'mute icon' in it. > Gothic sorceress: "*Can't stop it?* Please, that was super easy!"

Don't think we've had one last less than a decade.

But if you don't need one, you don't need one. No need to clutter your home with another appliance just because it can occasionally heat up leftovers in a minute or something. I find it convenient but I've also lived without it and it was fine.

boonhet ,

It's common in Estonia too but in the slop burgers usually. The ones with like coleslaw or some shit drowning out the shitty patty that has zero beef content, you'll be happy if it has pork.

I don't think anyone on your continent would call it a burger even lol

boonhet ,

Yeah he uh did the whole abuse thing en masse. His ex wife would find babysitters who he could have sex with IIRC. It was a whole thing, the women involved weren't exactly left feeling like they had any choice in the matter. But I don't really remember the details.
