I have both kinds and I don’t really care. I just buy the pants because I like how they look, don’t even check what kind of fly they have. I have the ones with a regular zipper and 1 button, zipper with 2 buttons, no zipper just buttons, a little hook thingy button and fly combination. There are more important aspects of pants for me, like the fit, feeling, price and how they look.

It’s been a long road

Check the Asrock website, don’t ask an LLM stuff like this. It doesn’t know, it just makes up answers to questions you ask. So even if it says you’re all good, you might in fact not be good at all. Learn how to get the info for yourself, so you actually know instead.

A colleague called it “Hype driven development” the other day and I have to say that describes it perfectly.

Oi Ue, it’s fooking diabolical mate. Omelander topped me wife and now more ads on the tele, diabolical.

Web development: Oh, that textbook is obsolete. It was written last year before Angular v18 was released.

My personal advice: Take notes.

Just write everything down. I recommend an actual physical little paper notebook and a pencil. If you think: “Oh I must remember that” or “I’m almost out of …, I must buy more”, write it down.

Now don’t go writing down stuff like fun facts or YouTube videos you want to watch. Make it all practical stuff, stuff you need to do or is important in your life. It’s your brothers birthday next week, write down the date and what you need to do to prepare. Your stomach hurt and you think you ate something that didn’t agree with you, keep a log of what you ate and how your stomach felt. That way you can identify allergies or things you can’t eat (anymore). Having trouble remembering names? Write down after you met someone: “Today I met Steve, Steve is in charge of accounting at Megacorp.” Measured the room you want to put new flooring in? Make a little sketch and put the measurements in.

Writing stuff down physically forces your mind to pay attention and remember it later in a structured way. It also feels really good to physically tick off a task or cross it off. It can be a bit hard to keep up with and not go the other way and put so much into it, it doesn’t help anymore. But it can help a lot, especially if you are the kind of person that thinks 8 times a day to put out the garbage, only to wake up the next morning and you’ve forgotten to actually do the thing.

I so hate the bad translations. Please just give me the app in whatever native language it was built in. And if I can’t understand that language, let me switch to English. It’s awful to use an app and have to translate everything yourself back to the native language to figure out what they actually meant and what went wrong in the translation.

And it’s especially annoying when errors and such are also translated. These often make even less sense and when trying to search the internet, it really helps if the error is in the language of largest user base.

I’ve always assumed it’s because people with babies tend to pull away slower, take corners at lower speed and brake early and less heavy.

But I’ve also seen people drive like an absolute maniac with a baby in the car, so who knows?

People Can’t Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms

Because making any decision about an unborn child should be based purely on the medical needs of the child and if applicable the mother. Selecting based on traits is eugenics and I hope I don’t need to explain why that is bad. But as I understand the reason Musk is having all these babies is because he totally believes in eugenics, which is terrible.

Edit: just checked, in most of Europe this is very illegal. Gender selection is only allowed if there are strong medical reasons to do so. For example a hereditary disease in the family which only affects one sex and can’t be screened for in another way.

Musk used IVF so he could selectively only have male children

Holy shit, is that even legal? I would hope no doctor near where I live would ever agree to do that.

You are right in how wasteful it is, especially since it turned out a lot of those satellites don’t even make it to 4 years.

However there is zero risk of space trash with Starlink. They orbit so low, it’s basically within the atmosphere still. They need to constantly boost themselves, otherwise they fall down and burn up. So these satellites are coming down within years all on their own, even without any controlled disposal.

It’s insanely wasteful, but it keeps SpaceX in business launching every week, which is kind of the point. But at least there isn’t a Kessler syndrome waiting to happen.

Could someone re-make this but with the big naturals Padme? Asking for a friend

Oops that was a typo, that should have been can’t

What pissed you off about GoDaddy?

Who fucking cares at this point? Trump has done so much worse things by now. He can’t legally be president for a third term, so it’s not like it’s gonna impact his re-election. Most of the world already hates the man and think he is vile and disgusting. What is one pee tape going to change.

The pee tape could release today and be barely in the current news cycle. One camp will say “This just confirmed what we already knew”, the other camp will say “Fake news”. And tomorrow it will be forgotten.

No, it has to be something way worse than a simple pee video.

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s my laptop from work, I have zero say in what software it runs, I don’t even have admin rights on it. None of my personal stuff runs Windows. But it might help other people on their own machines.

Please let them also remove all the XBox nonsense. The other day my laptop from work that runs Windows 11 Pro gave a big ass prompt if I didn’t want to try XBox Game Pass with the new Doom game. It’s basically an ad for games on a Pro machine, ridiculous.

For me personally, the self checkout is just a way better solution to the problem. It’s for me much faster and more efficient. It’s also easier for the store itself. The best kind of self checkout for me is where you can scan everything with a hand scanner or app whilst shopping. Then just pay at the self checkout and walk out. That way I just put the stuff in my bag directly, instead of from the shelf into the basket or cart. Then from the cart to the checkout and then from the checkout into my bag. It also spreads out the action of scanning the products, which means avoiding a slow and repetitive task scanning it all in 1 go. I’m also not blocking a checkout whilst scanning. I hate it when stores that offer the hand scanner have people scanning a whole cart full of stuff at the checkout. And then bagging it of course, which blocks a checkout for ages. Just go to the regular checkout if you want to do that, the cashier is faster than you are and you can focus on bagging exclusively.

However the lack of human contact is an issue. I’ve seen a lot of stores that offer self checkout recently make one or two lines available for chatting. It’s just the regular oldskool cashier, but they are relaxed about it and chat with the customer. This means people in a hurry or that don’t need contact right then can go fast through the self checkout. And people who like to chat can use the chatty checkout with a good old human being.

This for me is the best way to apply new tech, all of the benefits for all parties involved and hopefully none of the downsides.
