Not really a new thing for them, they've been trying to milk r/place since the first one. The last time they let it run too long as well, it needed to be like a 1 or 2 day max thing not a week

Largely by avoiding waterproof or water resistant skincare products such as sunscreen and makeup. Also avoid using nonstick cookware.

3D printers and laser cutters are significantly cheaper now. Also those and CNC machines, people can use them for business like you send them the file and they ship you the item. Laser cutters people use for custom engraving, they just buy a bunch of blank keychains, coasters, etc off alibaba and make them on demand. You can find tons of these stores on etsy (people will just steal the models for popular characters and print them out on demand for a profit), here's a more expensive one. Or like my family, print out warhammer 40k models instead of buying them because it's literally cheaper.

Also these they might not have bought them new, like our university will rarely get rid of equipment to free up storage and because it's so specialized and so few people know how to get access, you can get a really good price. We had two rooms of printers that we had to get rid of because students kept breaking them and it was too much of a pain to keep them running. We also bought new milling equipment to upgrade the shop and got rid of the old stuff which was working fine.

Step 1: Read How to make friends and influence people. Step 2: Cry, bc half the book is "listen and pay attention"

It's not a required ingredient for sunscreen to work, it's just to make it more water resistant (it stays on your skin longer) so those chemicals are typically used in sunscreen that's marked for water/sports applications. You can buy PFAS free sunscreen too

That's not unusual, imo high refresh rates on phones are a bit of a marketing tactic bc they don't really have the computation power to support it when it counts (no one really cares if a static GUI is shown at 120 Hz but it is a waste of battery, you want it for gaming, videos, etc)

Good: I got support from people when things in my DnD group got weird.

Bad: Once, I asked a technical question that I had asked people irl and researched a lot and not found what I was looking for. On reddit, I had people making assumptions and nitpicking the terminology while avoiding the actual question completely. It was a good example of the CS/math departments friction (which makes a whole lot more sense to me now). I did get a better answer on another site by just posting the equation and using zero jargon but I ended up abandoning that topic bc it was impractical.

LG G7 Thinq. It had all the features I wanted and was a good price. I actually did look around a month ago and nothing else on the market compares even years after it came out (I could get close to what I wanted but I would need to go high end) which is a shame bc I'll have to switch for 5G at some point. Google and Samsung removed the 3.5mm jack so I'll never buy from them.

I have about 3-4 TB (maybe 5 if some old drives still work)

Um well the food communities seem to be active and drama-free. Plus the gardening communities. Neither of those topics is on your list. There are also a bunch of animal communities if you really want cat pics lol

I ended up using a vertical monitor + Zotero for note taking (allows you to highlight text and write comments). My ereader is small enough to be convenient but too small to read papers well. My tablet, I hate writing on screens and it's also too small

I'm glad this is top comment, I thought I was weird for a moment there

I've definitely had people who were working for me say "I have four boats" and I'm like wtf bc I know how much they make. Then I find out they live over an hour away from work in the middle of nowhere, their mortgage is less than half my rent and two of the boats are "project" boats that don't even run. The only drone person I know is childfree, huge savings right there, and they don't live in a city either. Tbh some of the things people do for these things, the amount of work does not make sense to me but if that's what you want to do with every single weekend, go right ahead.

Plus I find these people with a lot of money invested in their hobbies tend to be older, like 30-40 years old. Then I'm like, I could probably afford a 5k 3d printer in a decade but that's not what I would spend my money on.

Um the first part of 2 and the 2nd part of 2 are two very different things. I know lots of people who pass the language test to get into college but make a lot of grammatical errors. Also basically require spellcheck/chatgpt to write a basic email. Also even my roommate makes grammatical errors in conversation and she has to do her job in her second language. You seem bilingual to me, seems kind of silly you seem to think you need to spent a year in England or something to be considered bilingual.

Idk for everyone else, but when I was on reddit once I had set up the subreddits I wanted to see, I really spent 99% on my time on just those. Every so often I would leave or join subreddits but it was rare. Like if people are not doing searches as often then the lag is more tolerable. Plus, won't content from larger and older instances be indexed by search engines eventually? Right now because so many communities are being created on so many different instances, it's more obvious that the searching is laggy but things will surely settle down as time passes.

They say they'll do it but if they get a enough users without it then I think they might scrape that feature. I can't imagine it integrates well with their existing code

My dad fixed up a Chinese laser cutter to save money (it was like 1k by the end of it), it sat in the basement for a while there. Personally, I assume YT is not their only job. I've worked with people that have sunk way more than 10k into their hobbies, the car people in particular are sometimes unbelievable and that I don't get. Drone and boat people too. The small planes are kind of cool. At least with these tools, you can actually make money off them.

I don't think they are any more "locked down" than the other vendors, usually they have a bunch more features on top of base android. I never used their store tho so idk if that's what you're refering to

Did apple shut down sideloading then? When I was testing on iOS, dev local installation was a pain but I would assume that's still an option if you enable the dev features

Same, I didn't bother upgrading to the G8 because of that. I wouldn't get a pixel bc they removed the headphone jack. I actually was leaning towards the sony xperia line but it's not sold in my country. The CAT smartphone meets the specs I want but it's expensive. I just replaced the battery in my g7 so I hope to get another year at least out of it and hopefully something better gets released.

Boost has always had ads, it's one time purchase removal

The thing that's missing here most is the niche communities (I'm talking about like the ended 10 years ago tv shows and people are still posting about them). On the other hand, I noticed while most countries have 1 or 2 communities, my country already has at least 7 for specific locations and people still want to make more so it feels very much like home already

You called? Team small phones for life!

Critical section uses a shared variable so any case you have multiple threads writing to a variable you should have a critical section, it's very general. I don't have much experience with reduction but it seems geared towards all loops preforming the same function as part of a larger function and they take approximately the same amount of time to complete plus are expected to start and end together. Something like parallelizing an integral by spliting it into ranges would be simpler with reduction. Also if the threads need to read and write to the global, seems like that would need a critical section.

Sorry but my experience is that you will just have to explain what neurodivergence is. People in general have no idea. I once told my roommate I have ADHD and she had vaguely heard of it but I still had to explain it. She was 29. I've had conversations where I say things like "you should take neurodivergent people into account for this event/design/layout/schedule" and they will have this clueless look.

I have to agree with this. I've had too many conversations that were like: Me, describes some of my ADHD symptoms. Other person, oh I feel like that sometimes maybe I have ADHD. Me, no not like that.

Canada - Many people here put water in the fridge or a britta jug to get rid of the chlorine taste

Other people are right, that there are ways to reduce the risk of contracting salmonella. However, I'd point out it's highly unlikely you'd get salmonella from eating raw eggs once. If you wanted to eat them regularly then that's a different story

I remember a similar discussion I had when an article labelled Kanye West as neurodivergent when he came out as bipolar. Part of it felt true, owning your mental illness as part of you is a part of labelling yourself neurodivergent. But I want to draw some separation between the symptoms and my personality. Plus I don't want to glorify symptoms that cause a lot of people problems (including me). Having ADHD means I think differently than other people/have different life experiences and I like to see those as the main parts of neurodivergence.

My ability to hyperfocus is part of my ADHD but I feel like my ability to connect concepts in unlikely ways that other people don't is part of neurodivergence. Also my ability to notice spiders on ceilings (it's totally not cuz I'm looking all over the place). I just recommended a way for a student on how to take notes from videos because it's something I struggle with so much and I notice where the difficulty is where other people miss it because it doesn't affect them as much.

Good bot, this is what I'm talking about
