I think they prefer to be called “little planets” now.

Yup, LG c1 or c2 iirc.

Holy shit! I’m going to need this, so +1 if you’re taking requests to put this on GitHub. I’ve been complaining to my partner for a while that our TV’s remote has a million fucking buttons that we never need, but doesn’t have brightness up/down buttons that we need every day.

Look up “tarpit” plug ins, most of this is ready to use. I see quite a few when I search, but I’m not familiar with the wordpress world, so can’t really recommend one or the other.

It’s just what you’re used to, in a way.

I grew up in a noisy third world country and could’ve slept through a drummer 10 ft away. I then moved to a first world country and have now gotten used to the relative silence that I experience here, despite living in a downtown area of a major city. Going back home to visit my parents is a nightmare because I the up waking up a million times every night because of all the sounds around.

Visiting cousins/friends who live in the suburbs of my new country gives me the creeps because of how much more quieter it is. So I end up getting nightmares of being in some post apocalyptic world when I stay over at their places. So, I can’t sleep through complete silence either. 🤷‍♂️

I’d kill for a local light rail.

Look at the dangerous people who take trains. This is why we need a 1.5 ton safety blanket truck to keep us safe.

Thanks!

Probably a dumb question, but here it goes-

Escape velocity is the velocity needed to escape the moon/planet’s gravity without any further propulsion, right?

A stone thrown upwards would slowly lose its velocity and then start falling back because there’s no engine to keep it going.

But an “ideal spherical bird” could keep going at a constant velocity of 20m/s to escape whatever planet it wants to leave, right?

Does the escape velocity really matter here? (Assuming that all other issues like lack of air are ignored)

I man, the Montreal product protocol absolutely succeeded at protecting and eventually repairing damage to the ozone layer. So, if nothing else, that one’s a win on multiple levels.

It’s just that the powers that be decided that they didn’t want to go through all that hassle again and the “people” decided that they were done sacrificing.

Other people don’t exist for our entertainment or amusement. If a “not beautiful” person wants to be naked, that’s their choice.

Eh… a bath house != Bath tub

Bath houses still exist in Japan and a bunch of other countries. They don’t feel thaaaat weird after the initial shock wears off.

Externalized costs are a thing though. For instance, a coal plant spewing smoke (and radiation) costs everyone else money. A nuclear plant OTOH is usually responsible for dealing with all of its own shit. So it’s not always an apples to apples comparison to consider just the profitability of a project.

Your comment reminded me of this moment I had at an office lunch table:

Someone from sales: I’ve been having a terrible day, the P-O-C at {client company} is being annoying yadda yadda…

Someone from HR: glaring, and taking mental notes.

Me, a dev: wondering how things could’ve gone wrong considering that we hadn’t even shipped anything for them.

It took us all a moment to realize that "PoC " meant different things to each of us - Point of Contact, Person of Colour, and Proof of Concept. Somehow the salesperson could’ve been talking about any of those and it’d make, so none of us questioned ourselves first.

Safari is the third, not edge.

Primary and Clone?

Nope, there’s no screw or anything mechanical holding it in place.

Thank you for the advice.

Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

The ads come at different entry and exit points for every user.

They’re not referring to the YouTube ads, but the “let’s take a minute to talk about today’s sponsor nordvpn that I used on my trip to Antarctica.” This is a part of the video file itself, and it starts and ends at the same time for all users.

Okay, I’m convinced. 😂

How are China’s stringent lockdowns explained in this conspiracy theory? Also, where do I sign up as a member?
