  • 18 speed cameras just went up in Oakland, California. The cameras will ticket drivers that exceed the speed limit by 11 miles an hour or more.

  • Signage is nowhere near as important as street design. The design should say 20mph by having cobblestone, narrow curving streets and tight corners.

  • I love KDE, but sometimes, just sometimes... I question my decisions

  • For anyone interested then if you have a global menu enabled the "More" selection will be in the global menu removing two clicks.

    Also if for these niche columns you can always add them and sort my clicking the column header.

  • You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10

    Jump

  • You just have to add two numbers. With the big number hand you can count hundreds by using the closest segments first, then medium then distant and so on. Hardest additions will make you carry the one once for a case like 19+175 which is easy enough. Also, going from 37 to 38 in binary with fingers you have to close 4 fingers and open one while counting segments you at most move your thumb to the next segments on both hands.

    Binary still works fine and is better depending on the specific case but in my opinion counting segments is usually more convenient and base 10 friendly.

  • What a nice desktop you got there

    Jump

  • The default theme could be better but you can customise a lot of it. Or you can wait for the current trend of rounded borders to end and KDE will be ahead of the curve.

  • For anyone considering running a marathon then they should know it's easy to train for it. Elite runners train with 80% of their weekly distance as easy and going 100% on that is totally ok.

    So going out there, running at a comfortable/enjoyable pace is all you need as long as you're consistent. It's literally that easy. Increase weekly distance by 10% a week and do a long session ideally once per week. Long distances should also follow a 10% per week max increase to avoid injury.

    So basically, you end up chilling, listening to podcasts and plodding along for a year and you end up being ready for a marathon.

    One quick side note: If something feels weird in any of your tendons, just chill and take some days off and do quick warm ups before running.

  • The consequences of not building enough housing

    Jump

  • Yeah, anything that prevents the financialisation of residential housing floats my boat. In Iceland we have big corpos selling each other houses at over market price to increase the average m^2 price in an area. It's pretty bonkers.

  • Pretty sure that's a joke mate.

  • I got a nice and easy method to represent 25 numbers on one hand. You have 12 segments of the non-thumb fingers and you can hold your finger on the front or side as you go through them. Closed fist represents a zero or 25. Use two hands multiplicative to get to 600.

  • Residential housing shouldn't be owned by corporations. It should be built by them and then sold to individuals.

  • Study Reveals How Exercise Slows Tumor Growth

    Jump

  • I vaguely remember that it depends on the cancer type whether that works. The study showed it for melonomas and breast cancer so for those there's a good reason to decrease blood sugar or even doing a keto diet. I'd love to see further research on putting mice with melonomas on a keto diet.

  • Study Reveals How Exercise Slows Tumor Growth

    Jump

  • Nice one, you actually almost guessed what the study shows. I read the abstract and in general for melonomas and breast cancer in mice doing voluntary wheel running muscle glucose consumption went up and tumor consumption down. Tumor growth rate also slowed for the mice that ran.

  • Do you feel like popular media using a game of Chess to depict a "battle of wits" to be too cliche/cringe?

    Jump

  • Also, they always play until checkmate. If there are two geniuses playing chess one of them would resign at least 3 moves before reaching checkmate.

  • Who loves a bath?

    Jump

  • I can relate, I'm a shower person and I just love watching an anime episode while showering.

  • Anyone else does this?

    Jump

  • I remember one game having the replacement mag taped to the current so it was an easy out flip in every time.

  • try it. just a little taste.

    Jump

  • Would still watch

  • What is the actual worst TV series you've ever tried to seriously engage with?

    Jump

  • It's a remix of the foundation, understand why they did it because otherwise they'd have to switch of the cast every few episodes. The series is set up to make people that didn't read the books like it and I personally think a lot of what they did makes sense. Some of the changes are good, some are bad, all unfaithful but given how hard it is to put this book on screen I can see why.

  • we need more users

  • I think this is it. Posting is reinforced by getting feedback on posts, both up votes and comments

  • Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.

    Jump

  • I was in denial about being autistic for around a decade after I first had suspicion because of exactly the reasoning you provide.

    To provide some insight to my experience is that I had to manually decode all the non-verbal communication with logic while keeping track of the verbal stuff and monitoring my own expression back when I was masking. That shit is exhausting. Masking isn't just picking a personality to wear based on the occasion, it's doing that while it doesn't come naturally and consciously tweaking behavior. Jokes on us, we give of the uncanny valley vibes when do that because it "feels off".

    If there's something loud around me I will intensely try to hear what people say to me but I just can't because the surrounding is louder.

    I was so bad at throwing and kicking balls that I was made fun of despite actually practicing both football and handball.

    I went to sleep scared for a long time because I imagined people breaking in because of slightest squeek in the house.

    It's also hard to explain how easy it is to have conversations with other autistic people vs normies.

  • What did you stupidly believe as a child?

    Jump

  • I mean, it's kinda true. A rocket just makes fire which expands and pushes whatever it burns out to make it go fast. You got the fire, the fire pushes things away from whatever you're burning and the rest is just optimisation.

    If you manage to make a helium balloon that floats in the air, attach a burning log fire to the bottom of it and enclose it in a way that the air intake is on the top and outlet is on the bottom you've made an engine that you just need to aim with a ballast weight.

    Still wrong, but you were onto something.
