The control of fire by early humans was a critical technology enabling the evolution of humans.

Aren’t those just standard door knobs?
Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.
As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don’t use those regularly.
As physical tech:
- we have lever door handles at work and wheel and axle door knobs at home.
As digital tech:
-
Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.
-
The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while.
lshas been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back tolistfon CTSS in 1961.
Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.
1·1 month agoFor stuff like groceries I don’t even check the price at all.
For staples that are shelf stable and easy to store (shampoo/conditioner and laundry detergent are examples that come to mind) I will usually buy two if i happen to be buying when its their turn for the rotating discounts. I figure I’m going to be buying them anyway so I might as well bring down the average price.
And given that, most of the population lives in northern hemisphere, is there a body of dad jokes and culture tropes related to the fact that “we’re different”, or is it just too cringe and boring.
Nothing anyone wound mention but there are some ironic Christmas clothing like a shirt with Father Christmas with sunglasses and cooking a barbeque, or a rashie with a knitted sweater pattern.
We are also aware that if a foreign studio announces a game or movie with a season for their release window they probably mean the northern season. Our studios tend to just use a month instead.
Not really. Using % of forecast area as % chance of rain inherently gives equal weight to your position being anywhere within that area.
Yes, unless your location is a statistical outlier the two are the same.
If you happen to know you are on the lee side of a mountain that might change thinks but for most people they are one and the same.
In Australia BOM’s Australian Digital Forecast Database uses a 3x3 KM grid for Victoria and Tasmania or a 6x6 KM grid for the rest of the country.
I’m in a 6x6 area but thats fine for daily forcasts.They also offer forecasts for 3 hour windows for the next 72 hours which is great for medium term planning but to be honest its the rain radar that I use the most. They offer a rain radar that has a 90 minute history and a 90 minute forecast that has sufficient resolution that I can time my breaks at work to stay dry.
The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
Unless your precise location is a statistical outlier these will be the same thing?
I normally just have a price of fruit if its a time I would normally be eating anyway.
Something like an apple is easy, fast, and convenient.
Leftovers might also be an option if there is something like a sausage or chicken wing in the fritdge.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any one recommend interflora yet.
But which regions code are you referring to?
The idea is quite old:
Shortly after the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, the British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley proposed that birds were descendants of dinosaurs. He compared the skeletal structure of Compsognathus, a small theropod dinosaur, and the “first bird” Archaeopteryx lithographica (both of which were found in the Upper Jurassic Bavarian limestone of Solnhofen). He showed that, apart from its hands and feathers, Archaeopteryx was quite similar to Compsognathus.
But known fossil evidence is quite young:
One of the earliest discoveries of possible feather impressions by non-avian dinosaurs is a trace fossil (Fulicopus lyellii) of the 195–199 million year old Portland Formation in the northeastern United States. Gierlinski (1996, 1997, 1998) and Kundrát (2004) have interpreted traces between two footprints in this fossil as feather impressions from the belly of a squatting dilophosaurid.
Dude needs to learn how to read a map.
These guys sell a physical tracker so there must be some interest in the concept.

161·5 months agoAs far as i can tell the loan was for around 4.5 months average salary for Brazil. Its a windfall but not a “retire early” windfall.
Having control over the UI helps. I never want to see “shorts” on start-up but its also nice to have control over share/cast buttons, do I care about up/down votes? Auto play or next video recommendations?
Then there are options to skips youtube ads (by just not loading them) and sponsor segments (by using sponsor block).
Continued playback with a locked screen can be handy sometimes too.
A lot of the UI is designed to encourage user engagement and monetize that engagement. My priorities differ.
Some of these features are available with YouTube Premium but that’s comically over priced (and still doesn’t offer as much control). The Family plan is currently around 150% the price of Netflix Premium :/
Revanced works for me and my family (mobile and tablet).
I’m using smartube on android TV and its functional but I would like to hear about alternatives if anyone has a recommendation.
I joined my older brother when we was watching the zero boys on VHS.
I would have been around seven at the time and some scenes were a little too much.

The suffocation scene is the one that stands out.
There is a fair bit of mental illness in the family, the early asylum scenes hit a bit too close to home for 5 year old me.
In Australia they give (from largest to smallest):
With the numbers corresponding to:
