If they keep it up, I feel like they’re rapidly going to hit a generational impasse of nobody picking up even during daytime. I am very reluctant to answer numbers I don’t recognize, if it’s important they can leave a voice-mail.

Reading the article (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/07/nobel-committee-unable-to-reach-medicine-prize-winner-hiking-off-grid), I feel like the least the committee could do is make an effort to call winners during their daytime hours. 😅 Sounds like too many cases of unexpected calls in the night.

100%. Unit conversion is a solved problem, and it is impossible for an AI to be faster or more accurate than any of the existing converters.

I do not need an AI calculator, because I have no desire to need to double check my calculator.

Pretty sure they’re using “design” to mean “aesthetics” in that sentence. I do think we need to less often use “design” to refer specifically to aesthetics or graphic design; every object and system that humans have made are designed.

Please explain how this saves them money? All I see is finding ways to upcharge customers for what used to be standard options, while maybe cramming in one more row of passengers.

Exactly. These condos are over $1000/sq ft. Completely out of reach unless you or your parents are already rich. I don’t get how this surprises anyone there.

Yes. And measles is so contagious and deadly that the only way to protect those groups is by vaccinating enough other people. This is why measles vaccines have been such a huge focus for the past 50+ years.

And that is also why antivaxxers are directly responsible. Their willful ignorance and self-entitlement exposes these vulnerable groups to harm.

The expectation that a vital public service must be a profitable company is just an ass-backward assumption from the start. What’s next, are we going to expect hospitals to become profit centres?

== vs === is easy: == is wrong and bad, don’t use it. :D

It’s not even that! The electrons don’t even move particularly much. The energy is moved by the E/M field created around the circuit, which is even more wild and mind bending.

I’ve never had an issue with webp on Samsung devices, either in Discord or not.

That would only apply if the goods were being transferred directly from the ship to a train/truck/ship bound for Canada. That is to say, they are not sent through customs and received to a US warehouse.

That’s usually not what happens. Apple (or whoever) typically receive their goods to their US warehouse, pay tariffs, and then package and ship to Canada.

It’s like it’s leaping out of the page.

Dunno about the user you asked, but I’ve used Bandcamp for that.

That correlates much more closely with agriculture than oil. Compare this map with one for arable land. Lots of the AB, SK, MB area covered in roads are also covered in farms, while large parts of that area does not have significant oil industry.

It’s certainly lower than the 20-30% game distribution platforms take.

I can pretty much guarantee the server & staff costs are more than 1% of sticker price, especially since BC includes streaming services.

The barycenter is sometimes outside the diameter of the sun. Not always, and I believe not even usually.

Yes, today I’m being that guy. Still a cool factoid.

❤️ btop. Lots of info, it’s pretty, and it can run in headless environments too.

This, tbh. I did not have this on my 2025 bingo card…

They also have dev/art teams orders of magnitudes larger than Team Cherry. (I do agree with your sentiment about useless managers and execs, of course.)
