Deliberately misinterpreting “bad representation”: Darwinia, the PC game (one of the first ever non-Valve games on Steam).

As a teenager I thought it had “bad graphics” because its art style was all polygons and 2D sprites. So the game’s representation on-screen was bad. See what I did there?

I don’t even remember why I bought and played it at all, probably just curiosity, but it wasn’t long before I fell in love with it. Within a week I switched from “this game sucks” to “I love this game”.

I was gonna mention something like a USB Type-C cable, but that’s not really electricians’ territory, is it?

I’m calling you an ambulance.

To add insult to injury, a US cup is 236.6 millilitres, while a UK (imperial) cup is 170.48 millilitres. Not even close. There’s a whole lot of other measurements called “cup” too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

If I recall, that particular genie actually pretty much granted the wishes as they were intended, did he not?

In that case, tennis is football, volleyball is football, bowling is football, snooker is football (or perhaps footballs?)

You’ve open Pandora’s box of football!

Football or football?

I imagine that would be useful if we had anything like that.

An extension is probably not needed. JavaScript and local storage allow you to do this kind of stuff. Proton Drive and Mail accomplish this without an extension.

I really have to try hard to see it going clockwise. I suspect it’s rendered with perspective projection (as opposed to orthographic) so there really is only one correct way to perceive it.

Upvoted because I vehemently disagree which is the hallmark of a good hot take.

I think it should be “symmetricalous”. Compromise?

I think every time people say that it’s at accident.

I don’t think it’s quite the same thing. Smoking has almost zero redeeming qualities. Alcohol has a lot of social value, cultural heritage, crap like that. If you’re going to break the law, there are more attractive substances than tobacco.

There are other benefits too: restaurants stop having to dedicate space to smoking tables; people are far less likely to smoke in public places (like bus stops), which is already against the law but people do it anyway, if smoking is banned altogether they’d do it less.

If people are gonna smoke tobacco, I’d rather they do it in secret than out in the open. Also I think even “failed” prohibition likely reduces actual usage by a lot.

Sure, it was alright, but I do love my family too ❤️

Last time I went out on a trip with the extended family (we’re roughly 20 people, give or take), it was in a rented big structure with a sleeping area, a dining area, and a kitchen, and a yard outside with a place to make a fire. We started a fire, but come dinner time they all wanted to leave the fire going and eat at the table.

I absolutely refused. No way in the world in leaving a fire unattended like that. I said we either stop the fire altogether (and restart it later), or I’ll stay watching it until someone comes to replace me.

In the end I took a plate of food and ate it by the fire alone, until someone indeed came to replace me and I went to finish the meal at the table. It turned out fine, but it really annoyed me how no one in my family saw sense. They kept trying to convince me to just come and eat dinner… as if the social togetherness somehow makes the risk of starting a forest fire unimportant?! There’s some smart people in my family, but some days I don’t understand how they can all be so blind to the obvious reality.

Cigarettes (and to some extent alcohol) are one thing I think should be very heavily taxed, and therefore very expensive. The high prices are intended to encourage people to quit smoking, and more importantly, discourage people from getting addicted in the first place. Heck, a handful of countries are finally starting to ban cigarettes altogether for people born after a certain year. This is good.

I know I’m speaking from a point of “privilege”, I’ve never smoked in my life and never been addicted to any substance. I know it’s just not feasible for some people to quit, and for them, the high prices really suck. But on a society level, I still think it’s better if cigarettes are expensive enough to remind you you should quit every time you buy them.

The world of Shrek has tons of cool magic in it, sign me up! But also most cartoon/animation worlds, where you can survive all sorts of physical shenanigans with no injuries or consequences.

Also it might all be bullshit and we’re speculating on it randomly.

Most of the comments here completely miss the fact that difference in the OP appears after charging, not after using. It doesn’t matter if one is primary or not, they both had the same amount of time to charge from 0%, so they should be the same.
