So like Star Wars?

Simon Tatham’s puzzle game collection.

Solarpunk body horror sci-fi.

Carbs.

No, the human perception of temperature thing is a myth. Originally 0F is the freezing temperature of a brine solution, and 90F was Fahrenheit’s estimation on the average human body temperature, and then the scale was adjusted so that it fit in better with Celsius reference points (freezing/boiling points of water).

No audio is horrible accessibility! What about the blind drivers who need to hear the ads?

/s, in case it’s not obvious

Knocking is usually reads (from the header seeking), brrr is heavy writes.

C is yielding to a pedestrian, but carbrain D cannot fathom yielding to anything smaller than their car.

Ironic…

They’re a forum where members participate in group trolling, stalking, doxxing, and harassment of their targets.

Work so that others can also have their needs met.

This, plus The Sopranos, The Office, Parks & Rec, IASIP, 30 Rock, etc.

I get that they’re well liked, and they are the source of lots of meme material, but I could never manage to get through a whole episode.

I’ve always experienced the opposite - native English speakers are horrible at spelling because they don’t have to put any effort into comprehending the language, vs non-native speakers who frequently have to take ESL tests for either academia, work, or immigration, and therefore had more exposure to spelling practice.

Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

I remember that post from slazer2au… https://lemmy.world/post/19338754

When we talk about 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz the devices don’t operate at exactly that frequency, but within a band more or less on that number. For example 5 GHz is actually a set of channels between 5150 and 5895 MHz.

Why isn’t there a 3Ghz, 3.5Ghz, 4Ghz, etc?

Technically there’s 802.11y (3.65 GHz), 802.11j (4.9-5.0 GHz), etc. It’s just that several of these bands cannot be used universally across the globe, because they may be reserved for other purposes. By and the bands that end up being used are ones that don’t require licensing to operate.

Other kinds of severe weather are predictable, whereas there’s a big difference between “this pattern could develop into a tornado over the next half hour, batten down the hatches” and “A TORNADO HAS TOUCHED DOWN NEAR YOU, GET TO A SHELTER WITHIN THE NEXT MINUTE OR YOU’LL DIE!”

Icewind Dale did the same with Baldur’s Gate. Not just the UI, they blatantly reused a lot of the assets too!

“Mini”. With a 6.3 inch screen this is like calling Shaq small because he’s shorter than Yao Ming.
