I vaguely remembered it offering me updates when I first set the dock up (purchased the dock much later then the deck). I'll make sure I have the latest version.
Let us hope that one day the US, or any democracy for that matter, will come together to implement ranked choice voting.
For gluten free products: the whole production chain needs to use different tools or be sealed off from the rest. You can generally use the same mill, kneader, oven, tray for barley, wheat, rye, etc without meticulous cleaning in between. But if you want it to be gluten free you now need to either do that expensive cleaning or more realistically have an entirely separate set of machinery and ensure it never gets in contact with your main line.
After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.
Just ask the parents what (s)he likes.
When I was extracting sounds from the sound banks from the Nintendo 64 game F-Zero X I simply couldn't find certain sound effects. It turns out that some effects are created during runtime by taking a sound sample and applying certain effects or filters, for instance pitch shifting the sample and looping it in rapid succession.
It's a clever way to save on memory and the player doesn't notice if it's well done. The original Pokémon Red/Blue on the gameboy is an example where it's not so well done in some places. If you pay attention you'll notice that some Pokémon's battle cries are simple pitch shifts of other ones and they didn't apply any other effects to obfuscate this.
Dunno about the bleach part, that might be in some as well, but typically white fabric detergent contains optical brightener that counters the typical yellow tint of worn garments by emitting extra blue light (and your eyes perceive the full presence of the spectrum as white). That's also why this whitening effect will fade off if you then use detergent that doesn't contain brighteners: you are washing out those blue light particles once again.
Yup, in many of the world's poorer regions Facebook has partnered up with cell phone providers to provide free access to the Facebook ecosystem and a limited number of other sites but not the general internet. This means for instance that if someone posts a newspaper article you can't even check up on the source without incurring extra costs. For millions of people Facebook therefore is the de facto Internet experience.
Well, hieroglyphs aren't just pictograms. Some are, but the bulk you can pronounce .If you were versed in the language you could read out aloud what's on that slate just like you can read out aloud this comment. Try doing that with the wall of emojies.
That being said, emojies do much enhance our communication potential 🥳.
Works as intended for me between my android phone and Kububtu PC however I deliberately turned it off for security reasons.
¿Why? Whenever I copy a password from my password manager on the PC it is shared to the Android phone and stored on the clip board there in plain unecrypted form. Since I also use a clip board manager app which remembers anything that is copied for later retrieval this means that if I were to lose my phone it would yield the finder with a long list of logins and passwords that I use.
I could of course manually delete each password from the smart phone after logging in but it's way too much of a hassle and I'm prone to simply forgetting it.
By default KDE connect should simply not transfer copies made from password managers. It bypasses the whole security feature that password managers have which automatically clears the clipboard a short time after copying any password. Last I checked there were feature requests // bug reports on github arounc issue. But I'm not tech savvy enough to know whether there is a programmatic way to detect what kind of app the copy is originating from or whether we are stuck with the current way by design constraint.
i see a keyboard , but no track pads. track pads are really versatile and a key feature of the deck. this keyboard doesn't look to comfortable to use either. Maybe it's ok ish if you put down the device on flat ground and are seated, but typing on this thing while holding it in your hands is going to require some amazing thumb agility.
I have a small Bluetooth keyboard paired with my steam deck that I use whenever I need to input longer stretches of text. it works out just fine.
Iceland's president holds a largely ceremonial position in the parliamentary republic, acting as a guarantor of the constitution and national unity.
That's why.
Here in Germany it has been revealed that the church set up a whole network shuffling around offenders (or sending them away to south america) and muddling traces. It's even been shown that the former pope knew about such cases. It's systemic.
Basically it's a combination of supposed moral authority, intransparency, and mutual cover ups. People are willing to look the other way a lot when they perceive of someone as having a higher mission or great social standing. That includes law enforcement. Think of Donald Trump who's a fraudster-racist-rapist-insurrectionist and yet the MAGA crowd loves him. Maybe celibacy plays into it as well, sexual urges don't stop just because you don a robe.
Younger people are less and less religious with each generation. So at least from that angle the problem might eventually go away.
Tacking on: as far as translation of ancient texts is concerned there is also a selection bias. It is far more likely that an important formal document endured the times than some every day scribble. Of course a political treaty is crafted, conserved and replicated more carefully than a note someone left for their neighbor. Both the skill of writing and the materials required were much rarer and access more prevalent among the upper classes. Finally important formal documents are more likely to be translated precisely because they are important. Imagine that in 2000 years from now you would be one of the few scholars capable of translating English. You would be much more to likely to study and translate the declaration of independence than some mundane Twitter post.
Yeah the locker/towel thing would be a habit especially if you don't actively think about it.
You may not have a strong daily routine but all humans have habits and it's precisely because you don't actively think about them a lot that it's can be hard to become cognizant of them.
They also include behavioral preferences such as scratching your chin with your right hand when lost in thought 🤔, calling your girlfriend 'honey' frequently, consuming certain foods/beverages more than others, separating the trash, opening up social Media on your smart phone when bored, or taking your jacket with you when you go outside.
Those are not the same for everyone but everyone has them useless maybe some severe medical condition is present.
The ¿ and ¡ prepare the reader mentally for what's coming and let the speaker adapt pronunciation.
Consider the following 2 sentences in English:
It's raining.
and
It's raining?
Meaning and intonation are different. Luckily our eyes don't read strictly in one direction like a scanner but instead they skip back and forth a lot (saccades) which means your brain registers the question mark even before you get to pronounce the first word. Still it's helpful to have an extra signal at the start of the sentence.
So why no extra dot at the beginning? Because it's the default case. And since the function of the dot is to separate sentences a single one already does the job. Note how there is also no double period when a sentence ends with an abbreviation or abbr. And in headers it's often fully omitted because the layout itself signals the separation from what precedes or follows.

weirdly enough SI unit for mass is kg not grams
While mosquito bites are unpleasant in themselves due to the itching and swelling I don't think it's common for cultures to have worked out the causal relationship between mosquitos and diseases like malaria. But I'd be happily educated otherwise.
Oh nice, I had a lot of fun with the demo back then. I'd describe it as basically XCOM 2 but with super heroes and you can pull off a lot of fun combos when your heroes work together.
It surely has its technical flaws but that's not what mattered to most buyers. Most people bought it to experience fun games and on that end it delivered. remember that at the time gaming was still breaking into main stream society and 3D games were on the frontier both technically and design wise.
Games like Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 really contributed to the design patterns of how 3d games could look like. Back in the day you simply didn't have as many choices when it came to hardware. What really hurt its game catalog was that apparently it was hard to program for. Who knows what other games we might have seen if the barrier had been lower.
Speaking of the controller: yes, it wasn't so good and the center joystick tended to wear out too quickly. Rumble pak was a fun gadget and really added to the immersion. What was terrible on the other hand was that the console lacked internal storage and many games would require you to purchase an additional memory pack (which slotted into the controller). That wasn't just a technical deficiency but felt very anti consumer.
I often use this over KDE's inbuilt screenshot tool because this one has a quick way to crop a screenshot
Just tried this one and it seems decent. most of all I'm noticing that it's way quicker to load than SwiftKey which has become soooo bloated.
Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there's a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There's contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it's practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don't change over time.
Off topic but:
[...] said Matthew Hindman, a professor at George Washington University who studies digital emails.
How do you study analog emails then? Print them out?
Don't think so. Big Picture mode still let's you alt tab out to other applications. Essentially it's a full screen window. Game mode seems to unload the desktop environment. This is quite handy for longer battery life. It also gives you different controller and keyboard layouts.
Saudi Arabi is hostile to Iran (as is Israel) too.
Yeah, rabbits as a species are not only tolerant to eating their own poop pellets but also gain calory extraction benefits from it. Usually mammals don't completely break down food they eat, ie there is still energy to be gained from it. Microorganisms have the necessary biochemical pathways to do it but for mammals it's not efficient.
Basically any animal has only a few ways to into crease its energy budget. First it can simply eat more or more rapidly. Second it can find ways to make use of resources that are less contested (think of a giraffe reaching for the top of a tree or a koala being able to digest eucalyptus leaves). Third it can simply be more efficient: that's the slow metabolism of a sloth, but also a rabbit eating it's own feces alongside fresh food. It's basically an evolutionary strategy to extract more energy from the environment.
The interface is just so responsive and well laid out in Slay the Spire which makes it a joy to play. Not just on the Steam Deck.
People mock the graphics sometimes but I'd much rather have something this responsive than bombastic but sluggish (Hearthstone comes to mind - haven't played in years thou maybe it's better today).
In today's world we envision of "simulated reality" achieved via digital technology but the concept isn't completely new. Philosophers of bygone eras would use different metaphors, for instance as our lives existing inside a slumbering god/demon's dream or within the snow globe of an outside dimension that we can't fathom.
That likely means they'll put thought into a pleasant controller layout (including steam actions) as well. Good stuff.
You can export all your bookmarks to a single JSON file. it's a format designed for storing and exchanging data between machines just like this.
Also good for making local backups of your favorites.
It's true but the title doesn't seem onion-y to me.
The current demo is quite limited. I hope they add (nested) tags and meta tags at least.
I much like Quod Libet. It has a clean, functional interface to manage your local music collection. Also support for Plugins is nice.
You can create Boolean Logic filters like (played < 10 times AND genre = classical AND composer = Mozart) which I appreciate. And some of the included tools like being able to automatically create meta data tags from file names (for instance - - .mp3).
It's the best replacement for Music Bee (Windows only) that I've come across.
Went to a open cast lignite mining operation once. The scales are quite impressive. Once standing at the bottom of the pit vision of the surrounding landscape just fades and you feel a bit like in a wasteland of sorts.
I assume many people are familiar with hydrocarbon gas for cooking or heating. Coal can also be converted to liquid or gas fuel form chemically but the process is quite complex and usually not economical.
Then there's crude oil. Never been near it but its ubiquitous in its refined forms, just go to a gas station.
EDIT: the coal typically used for barbecue (charcoal) is made from wood and is different from the stuff mined from the earth. Many people seem to not know this.
Recently purchased a high class ebook reader and had to return it. The display technology simply doesn't match paper yet.
As far as the pure reading experience goes paper is better. Also less distractions and no blue light that keeps you awake late at night. Printed books take up physical space which is a negative for me.
But digital has the advantage when it comes to working with the text: quickly being able to search for strings, copy and paste whole passages, get translations or pronunciations, reorder pages, etc. Plus all the meta data and library management.
Libraries are in a weird space betwixt when it comes to digital versions btw. They give you a digital text but lock you into a specific app that denies the advantages of the digital format mentioned above.
That being said stuff like blog posts, online articles, social media, etc simply doesn't exist on paper. But for anything I read for pure enjoyment like literature paper is the way to go.
Lastly, in my experience electronic versions tend to be a bit cheaper than paperbacks but a lot less so than you expect. But a library card pays off after borrowing even a single book, so there's that 🤷♂️.
This is true for serial killers in general though. Murders tend to be premeditated. If you are planning a murder you'll look for ways to maximize your success and minimize the chance of getting caught. In modern times you don't have to rely on pure strength; there's a plethora of workarounds from drugs to guns. The actual desire to end a human life (usual enabled by some form of psychopathy) is the limiting factor. A serial killer personality type doesn't throw the towel just because they are physically weak.
Guess what I'm saying is: there isn't a large contingent of women out there that would suddenly turn serial killers if they were to physically become stronger.
OK, thanks for the hint. I just found out that you will only be prompted to update if you:
here's to hoping the updates will allay the display issues
