It usually also rains during hailstorms, which helps clean up airborne particles

Some banks issue stickers for phones without NFC. It’s another physical card but contactless only and very thin (probably with an aluminum strip antenna).

Looks more like a model of a small resistor. Only the tiniest THT resistors and inductors have this shape because normal-sized ones’ wire-wound or vapor-deposited cylinders are long enough to get both terminals encased in resin separately as opposed to dunking all of it into a blob. And resistors of this size can have their entire datasheets printed onto them, color bands are again just a space-saving measure. Not to mention, the only reason it would need to be this bulky is power rating, and a sphere is the least ideal option for heat dissipation.

God’s rainbow was different, it had a gradient like all those fucking apps with shitty AI integration

Yup, and they didn’t even try to hide it. The etymology is literally bra + vixen (female fox)

…PC meaning Pokémon Center, not Personal Computer?

Edit: Apparently not. Wtf

A slightly less dumb idea would be to tax food by calorie content. In ages of famine, that tends to be the main factor in its cost, after all, and when obesity is rampant, it could make people more aware of their diet. Artificial sweeteners and other low-energy alternatives would become way more viable. Of course, this is impractical as it would inadvertently cause massive misrepresentation of calorie count (even if the <5 cal/serving ≈ 0 cal loophole is closed).

USSR bartered machinery for bananas or sugar with Vietnam and Cuba because they lacked hard currency. I heard rumors that the rate was 1:1 by weight but I haven’t been able to find evidence. It’s probably just a widespread myth making fun of how dumb the USSR’s policies were and the banana scarcity.

Amazing how we (or any organism complex enough to have organs) are just a pair of cells that underwent a sequence of protein-controlled division, folding and diversification. And excretion and consumption that formed and maintains non-cellular parts like fluids and bones. Plus the microbiome but arguably that’s not you, much like mites.

Yup! Also, “please read my work” vs “please don’t read my work” filters out paper mills and other low-effort garbage

And they WILL send you a DRM-free copy of their paper for free if you ask nicely

LMDE

I think one could be made without the need to keep touching a common electrode (with capacitance only) but would require good calibration

Probably not, considering I was allowed to attend

Depends on the country. I’ve been to one in Germany and the cops did their job.

iGPUs vary by feature set a lot. A fully-featured GPU can sit on the motherboard and use the same cooling system as the CPU but most are bare-bones, maybe just with video codecs.

Looks like he’s having a dark chapter in his life. I don’t know what caused the burnout initially but AI is part of the doom cycle. He could use mental healthcare.
