Windows 11 has changed this, many many people now warn other people about not using Windows 11 because it is such shit. Doesn’t matter what you run, just don’t run Windows 11.

From the bottom of my heart, fuck these guys. I hate it so much the far right is on the rise anywhere and even more when it’s around where I live. People get riled up and vote for these assholes, even though they lie about everything and say they will magically fix everything without a plan on how to do so. They say: “We will go to the EU and get this and this changed!”, everyone with a brain including the EU says: “That’s not how this works, we all agreed on these laws, you don’t get to pick and choose which ones you are going to follow”. And they come back with nothing changed, so they yell about how unfair the EU is and we should abolish it.

It’s a nightmare to live through.

Add depressed people to that list.

My computer is like “Kernel panic” and I’m like “Same man, same…”

Except a lot of the taste comes from receptors in the nose. They get the most info with the food on the top. The tongue has only very basic information about the food and is there to determine if we should spit it out because it is poison or get as much as we can because it is high caloric stuff.

Fun fact, the way the tongue works is very different from how many people think. Each little taste bud can detect one or two aspects depending on its specialization. They can detect sweet, savoriness (umami) , bitter and sour. Salt is detected in a different way. Sweet and umami are detected by the same bud, where bitter and sour each have their own specialized buds. Most of the little pink buds on the tongue aren’t taste buds, but there are still a lot of taste buds all over the tongue.

With the taste buds the brain takes a “picture” of the food. It receives a signal from each taste bud in regards to the level of taste they receive. The brain learns to interpret these pictures in what the food tastes like, supplemented by the nose and the salt levels. Since each tongue is different and each brain is different, tastes are very personal and can be different for different people. Tastes evolve over time, so it can even differ for the same person as they get older.

When first drinking something like coffee or beer, the brain gets very confused. These are complex tastes and the brain has a hard time of figuring out what it’s tasting. Since it can be very bitter with coffee for example, the brain thinks it might be poisonous, so revulsion is often a first response. However when sticking with it the brain learns to make sense of the jumble and might like the complexity. These are so called acquired tastes.

Like the insect/spider kind or in my code? Yes

Funniest shit I’ve ever seen

I’ll check back in two weeks, surely it’s ready then right?

Yeah but publishing is still work though. It’s become much easier to self publish on Steam as a small developer, but there is still value in having a professional publisher. It’s hard to say how much value and sometimes the publisher takes up more than their fair share, but it’s not like zero value either.

Perchance?

Disagree, if you need a custom big machine made, there are some really good people on AliExpress.

I have had a couple of customized CNC machines custom built for a fraction of the price it would have cost to have it done over here. Even with the shipping costs it came out cheaper. And the people were really helpful, they use machines like mine all the time so they know their stuff. They offered really good advice and were excited to work with me. It’s a bit butt clenching to fork over a lot of cash and hope a big ass pallet shows up 4 months later, but they’ve come through for me every time. YMMV.

Temu on the other hand can fuck off. It’s just a scam site like Wish.

It’s pre-cooked for your convenience

Be glad you aren’t a freedom challenged European plebian, we get 800 EUR, which is around 880 dollar. And the equivalent of sales tax is different per country, so in some countries it’s probably over 900 dollar.

Thanks Obamna

Numberphile did a series of videos on this a couple of weeks ago.

They did an interview with the authors of the paper as well. Good stuff.

Someone who’s worked their entire life to not only become trained as an astronaut, but actually go on a space mission. What do you think they prefer? Going home today or staying another few months on an actual space station?

Besides the first all electric train bit, which is nonsense, it also touts the capacity of the train. It has 120 seats, which may be mind blowing to car heads, but for a train is rather on the low side. Regular passenger trains often have over 200 seats and many have more seats for the same length. For busy pieces of track 600 seats per train aren’t unusual.

It really is like the author has never heard of trains before and has his mind blown by the concept.

Personally I think putting in batteries is kinda dumb, trains need so much infrastructure already and it’s fixed in location. Adding a power delivery system (like overhead power lines like most electric trains have) is really easy. That way a lot of weight is saved, thus making the whole thing more efficient. You also don’t need any special materials to make it, compared with huge batteries. And the wear components are a lot less expensive to replace.

They are getting downvoted because they are making a bad faith argument. They state banning a for profit website for not complying with the laws is somehow equal to censorship, this is obviously not true.

Who the fuck cares? Once you commit genocide, you are the bad guy. It can be fucking Santa for all I care, if he starts bombing a country to hell, that sleigh is coming down.
