But I’m guessing it also yields more exotic results, depending on the rest of the search term?

It’s weird how the price drops when something "included’ gets removed. Am I misunderstanding that word?

During the big wave of Among Us, it was also interesting to see “sus” become a popular term, probably because people don’t know how to spell “suspisus”.

The tile placement game in Satisfactory is worth a mention. I never fully understood the points system, so I never really rode the game to decent scores, but it was a fun break from the vast size of the rest of the game.

I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.

Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.

When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I’ll go: I blink.

The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.

It’s so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.

Ah, the Norwegian subtitle crew had creative freedom when translating that line. The official translation was “hipp hurra kølletryne” which would translate back to english as “hip hooray club face” (“club” as in golf club or hockey stick - which of course also is a goofy euphemism for penis).

Antimatter doesn’t really do anything by it’s own, but if we let 1 kg react with 1 kg of matter (non-anti-matter), we get E = mc² with m = 2 kg. So 1.8 * 10¹⁷ J, or 1.8 * 10¹¹ MJ. If we assume that 10 MJ/kg is represented by about 1 cm, the bar would have to be 1.8 * 10¹⁰ cm or about 1.8 * 10⁸ m. A standard A4 piece of paper is about 30 cm tall, so 6.0 * 10⁸ A4 papers are needed. I.e. 600 million papers.

So we definitely have enough paper, but it would be a very tall stack.

From a board game review standpoint, the slowness of the game is my biggest issue. Losing a game of monopoly isn’t just counting the score and shrugging off a “good game”. You realize that the game is lost way before you actually lose. Meanwhile, you will have to spend a long time - possibly hours - just going through the motions. Roll the dice, pay your dues. Every small gain is slowly erased by the grinding losses. I refuse to play monopoly again.

Now we know its weak spot!

Just to mention a few of my use cases:

• I adjust lights from my phone while seated in the sofa to get a good lighting for watching movies. Since my house has open solution between kitchen, dining table and TV corner, it’s nice to be able to reduce all lights to my preference.

• In the room I use as an office, it’s nice to have integrations with my periferals to adjust lighting to accomodate for video call meetings.

• It’s nice to go through the rooms to check which lights are off after going to bed.

• When putting my baby to bed, it’s nice to be able to dim down lights from her bedside while singing lullabies and comforting her. I can also dim lights in the hallway to reduce lights peeping through the cracks around the door and avoid lighting up the room when I leave.

• When on vacation, it’s nice to have lights which can vary a bit during the day to create the apparence of the home not being empty.

… So is this all worth it? Maybe not. Probably not. I’m pretty confident that I would be happy without any smart bulbs in my home. The inconveniences regularily outweigh the conveniences. But the conveniences do exist, and there are times when I am very happy to have them.

A wireless logitech mouse for gaming from back when wireless technology for periferals still meant a decent amount of latency. I learned quickly why latency is important when gaming. Also the precission of the mouse was terrible as it would regularly skip backwards under slightly accelerated movements. It was pretty humbling for me as a ~15 year old kid to realize I wasted around 4 weeks of newspaper work money on a mouse which I gave up on almost the same day as I bought it.

I have never liked it.

As a person, I don’t like the inconsistency.

As a developer, I don’t like to not be able to use the local time as a consistent way to order data.

As a father, I don’t like to have to adjust a daily routine of my baby who has just reached a good 24 hour schedule.

This sub has 1 rule: no stupid-questions.

Backed devs: sweats

I’d like Trump, Musk and the whole republican party to go fuck themselves. For national security reasons.

My father used to say that using swear words just shows that you lack a decent vocabulary. I have lived by that ever fucking since.

This is putting confirmation bias to the extreme.

Greater surface area also means more material for the same product, which leads to less effective transport, more waste and increased polution. Non-standarized can size means every can storage system and cup holder which have taken can size into consideration will be worse. I’m sure a lot of vending machines will have to be modified or scrapped for this can design.

Everyone are worse off because of this, and it’s all for attempting to trick consumers and increase profits. Shit sucks.
