But honestly, disconnection from the US cloud providers is a lot bigger than you seem to think. A ton of governmental services are hosted on US cloud providers. Pulling that plug would mean blackout for a crapload of governmental services, which we have grown to depend on.

Those titles are interchangeable.

Bro.

I live in a country where bidets are extremely rare. I honestly only know one single household with a bidet. I have however discussed getting one, but the discussion has pretty much faded out since it isn’t seen as a common need around here.

I fully agree with the “buttholes are the only thing we are content with wiping with paper to clean away poop”-paradox argument. I have mentioned that a lot in my discussions with my gf about getting one. So maybe I should get one - as I said, my opinion isn’t very strong as I haven’t experienced one, and I haven’t experienced sanitary issues with using paper.

So with all that said, it’s less tempting to make that purchase when people respond as condescending dickheads when raising concerns or questions about it. You just fully assumed that I lived in a place where bidets are common and told me to grow up and that I am ignorant. The other commenter got called a dumbass for not knowing the bidet procedure when they initially said that they were not bidet trained.

Being condescending doesn’t really help anyone. It just makes me want to ignore your advice.

It’s honestly shamefull to see people downvoting and calling you dumbass for raising questions and concerns about bidets. I’m not bidet trained either, and I don’t really have a strong opinion on them, but these responses almost make me want to take a stance against bidets.

When countries vote for their neighbour, that is usually not enough to change the end result. The most popular song usually still wins. But Israel is assembling political votes all across Europe. Only a few percent of the voters need to be rallied to completely overtake the public votes. Also considering that Israel supporters are motivated to vote 20 times, people voting for their favorite song will likely only vote a few times, if at all.

Yes, Eurovision has always been political to some degree, but it hasn’t really swayed the results this much ever before.

They were banned. There is a whole thing about why Russia is banned while Israel is not. I don’t have the facts, but comes down to something about membership in EBU (the european broadcasting union).

I have never liked it.

As a person, I don’t like the inconsistency.

As a developer, I don’t like to not be able to use the local time as a consistent way to order data.

As a father, I don’t like to have to adjust a daily routine of my baby who has just reached a good 24 hour schedule.

I’d like Trump, Musk and the whole republican party to go fuck themselves. For national security reasons.

After the war, just tell Trump that the rare earth materials have strange properties which make people within a certain radius more attracted to people of their own gender.

Absolutely, that may be important. LTT were only aware of the extension screwing over the creators, not that the customers were also getting screwed.

A lot of creators were tricked into that. The problematic part was that they realized the issue and completely went silent about the issue instead of raising awareness of the scam. Alerting about that fact would have been a great tech tip.

The world is getting squeezed between US and Russia, and both sides sucks.

I don’t know economics, but is there a way to buy stocks in some VPN providers? Seems like they are about to do well.

Football.

I might be in a minority of this, but using numbers that way breaks my flow for 2 reasons: Firstly, any number of lines greater than around 3 or 4 means I have to stop and manually count. Not that counting to 6 takes a long time, but it does use some mental capacity while I want my mind focused on the actual code. Secondly, I don’t have touch typing in my fingers for the number line on my keyboard. If I need to type a number, I either have to look down at my keyboard, or move my hand over to the numpad. In both cases it would be quicker for me to Vjjjjjy.

It must have been a mix-up between “component name” and “how to install”.

Unfortunately, yes.

All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.

But how do you apply this with Lorentz’ transformation (i.e. relativistic factors)? You cannot approach the speed of light without considering relativism. It is known that p = gamma * m * v where p is momentum, gamma is the gamma factor given by sqrt(1/(1 - (v^2/c^2))), m is mass and v is velocity. If you study the gamma factor, you’ll realize that it approaches infinite as v approaches c, the speed of light. Since we are actually dealing with light here, where v = c we are breaking the equation. Momentum cannot be defined for any mass which moves at the speed of light. It’s asymptotic at that speed.

Also note that the same goes for E = mc^2. At relativistic speeds, also this equation needs to consider the gamma factor. So those classical equations break down for light.

The answer is that photons don’t have mass, but they have energy. There is a good explanation a bit further up in this thread on how this is possible.

I feel like recently developed games and apps expect the user to have a “moden” sized RAM, meaning that the decs don’t give a crap about optimizing RAM-usage.
