Cubic hands?
There were some polls asking why people voted for Brexit. Not only where there respondents wanting imperial measurements, there was even a small but significant group that wanted the return of pre-decimal currency, which was abolished in 1971.
For those not familiar with the UK’s old currency, it used to be 12 pence in a shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound, and with a variety of coins representing odd combinations of those.
Stone is only real used for body weights now, and mostly be older people. I see metric weights used a lot more in medicine and by younger folk now.
I honestly don’t know how they do it. Whenever I get handed someone else’s device without an adblocker I find it almost painful to try and use.
Resplendent and fungiform definitely are, and I hope slugabed is because it’s describing my mood this Sunday morning rather aptly.
The challenge for Ladybird and other independent browser projects is the enormous size and scope required of modern browsers, which is also still growing. Web browsers are now probably second only to operating systems in complexity in the personal computing space.
Plus even if they do reach technical maturity, they still have to convince people to use it. That’s not been going very well for Mozilla, and they already have a working browser.
Safari is more energy efficient on macOS compared to other browsers.
But like it or not the (artificial) hold Safari has over the iOS/iPadOS ecosystem is the only thing stopping a complete Google hegemony over the web browser market.
Mozilla is circling the drain and the few nascent new browser projects are years away from technical maturity and may never establish any meaningful market share anyway.
You’re never lonely with all your Demodex friends.
They are fairly crap as a hand dryer too.
With RFC 1149, this would still work now.
According to the internet, he did it at university, eating nothing but mince, chicken, and mayonnaise for about 2 months. He did so to annoy other students in his classes who were vegan or vegetarian.
I’ve actually heard a few stories of uni students getting scurvy, although they were because they either didn’t know how to cook or couldn’t afford food.
Pop-ups used to be new browser windows, which was fairly easy to identify and block.
Now for things like email signups they tend to be elements within a web page, and it is harder for blockers to identify the nuisance elements from the good ones.
It’s not impossible, as blockers do the same thing, but ads are more predictable across sites so it’s easier to craft blocking rules for them.
Same, if I was to draw a Venn diagram of “websites I visit” and “notifications I need”, the circles would be so far apart they’d be at opposite ends of the universe.
Browsers should make that feature much easier to fully disable. Same goes for location data, which an alarming amount of websites now seem to request despite having no need for it.
Don’t let the fancy bottles trick you into ignoring the potential side effects though, you don’t want to get too spliced up.
They got round that a bit by having the player be a sort of prototype Big Daddy, who was more agile and human like. You still had to fight other Big Daddies to get Adam, but they added a new option to temporarily “adopt” their Little Sister as well as harvest or rescue them.
I haven’t played 2 in a while but from what I remember the gameplay was fairly fun, especially with the drill weapon.
Terrestrial evolution was a mistake. Don’t need to afford land if you don’t need land.
Some contactless payment systems like Apple Pay can have a receipt automatically emailed if the POS system supports it.
Avoids paper waste from unwanted, avoids missing a receipt when it was wanted, and much easier to organise.
I would guess that the exposure to BPAs from handling receipt paper for a few seconds would be incredibly minimal, especially when compared to other potential sources of BPAs like food and drink packaging etc.
Maybe don’t reuse receipts as paper towels or toilet paper, but briefly handling them enough to put in a wallet etc is probably safe in the grand scheme of things.
Depends on your computing platform.
I see another reply has already covered Linux.
On a Mac, press and hold a character key and a list of accent characters will appear. There are also dead key combinations using the option key to enter special characters directly.
Considering the doomsday bunker fad that’s popular in techbro and executive circles currently, such honesty might not count against you.
