Agreed. The way i took it was "i am going to write 'questions' based on the concerns people are commenting online and give the answers to those things people are interested/worried about"

Finger sweatbands for epic googling activities

JackFrostNCola ,

Even worse now is the non-alcoholic spirits you can buy that legit cost as much as the original alcoholic version, and then they use that in a cocktail.
Yes it Does taste just like the proper cocktail but your kinda missing half the point of the drink...

Literally New Game+

  • Start fresh with no ongoing quests for income
  • Getting quests is harder due to higher speech check requirements
  • Certain quests will now be permanently locked-out
  • Some NPCs are now default passive-hostile due to certain achievements you now have in your catalogue
  • Start at a higher level but stats on paper are lower levelled so you will have to compete for lower level bounties

I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes.
I often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.

"what are they going to do, kill all of us?" - dead whistleblower

JackFrostNCola ,

There is no such thing as a free service.

People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.

The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:

  • Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases)
  • 'Free' content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
  • 'Free' content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.

If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?

This is not a typo right, 307Amps?!
What creative maths have they done to get this number?

The PCB tracks on the motherboard are what, about 0.5mm thick and about 2mm wide (for the larger channels)? I can absolutely guarantee you arent getting 300+ Amps through those tracks.

Update: Thanks for the replies, it makes sense when dealing with these extremely low voltages and TIL a lot. Cheers!

JackFrostNCola ,

Thanks!

Thanks!

Did you ever work with or cover parking areas in your job/studies?

I have always wanted to know, when there are carparks (the open style rows of bays such as outside of grocery/big box stores) why do they never use angled bays? I figure it came down to the difference between something like 100 available parking spaces instead of 96 with losses in corners or something.
It baffles me that with how much easier it is for everyone to both pull into and reverse out of an angled bay why they dont just sacrifice a couple bays in return for increased traffic flow and less dings.

Also if they are in a herringbone pattern between adjacent rows it means that people cant just 'pull through' one bay into the next row and destroy any landscaping that may be between the two (i see strips of nicely mulched landscaping with small shrubs destroyed everywhere in my city from dickheads that dont give a fuck).

JackFrostNCola ,

Thanks for your response anyway!
I cynically feel like it may come down to the red-pen signatories who say "why 47 bays when we can squeeze in 50?! make it 50"

I use private mode for a whole bunch of stuff, visiting shopping sites i dont want coming up in targeted ads, watching youtube videos that are out of my usual jam and not wanting to get endless suggestions for crap im not into because i wanted to see a plumbing repair how-to or listen to a song wildly out of my usual genres because i was in the mood.

JackFrostNCola ,

I dont think that providing both opposing sides of an argument is 'balanced' when they appear to have equal weight.
Like giving a climate change scientist and sceptic the same airtime on a news segment without pointing out the overwhelming majority of qualified scientists say that it is fact that its happening and the other guest represents a tiny fringe group of sceptics.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

Please drink verification can.

JackFrostNCola ,

Or maybe they could just allow users to change the colors of their bubbles as a UI preference option.

JackFrostNCola ,

You can kinda see a wooden step on the LHS between the support poles, and based on them all not sliding into the centre there must be some sort of seating welded inside (although hard to see if there are any weld heat marks in the quality of the photo). So there probably is a good spot to step either side of the lip if you hold the chains while entering/exiting.
Please note this is a complete armchair analysis

Yes ads revenue itself but also Data. Lots and lots of data to sell to advertisers to build profiles on what people are into and how they interact with following their hobbies and interests across subreddits.
But i agree that theres not too far to go after that.

JackFrostNCola ,

My favourite 'thought trigger' point is from Bill Burr, it goes something like: "lets for a second say that the earth is flat, then what possible reason could there be for governments, scientists, airlines, internet warriors, etc have for convincing you that it is a sphere. What do they have to gain by you believing this?".

JackFrostNCola ,

I like that. Keep it short & simple.

JackFrostNCola ,

Agreed, my reaction will mainly be "oh no - creates account on another instance - well anyway..."

JackFrostNCola ,

Its an awkward position but it is possible

JackFrostNCola ,

Exactly what im thinking.

Is it just that we have in the last few years reached the threshold for large TVs to have come down in price and up in quality for them to be worth the purchase - but also the incentive to get a new tv to have a bigger/higher quality picture isnt worth the upgrade (or just your satisfied with the product you have).
And then factoring in that practically worldwide inflation and cost of living is out of control and people sure can make do without a fancy TV when instead they can have food and pay their rent.

Add in anyone who uses Autodesk products

JackFrostNCola ,

It didnt just affect MS Word, at least the programs i use (outlook & excel) changed, and i assume the whole MS office suite.

JackFrostNCola ,

Agreed, i do like that its a little more 'light' but it also doesnt feel quite as professional or readable.

Just being a stickler here but Electronics Engineers, not Electrical. Similar sounding but like the difference between a submarine captain and an airplane captain.

Agreed, also i like to stack my bag very methodically with heavier and more sturdy items at the bottom, cold things together, interlock and tetris everything so the bag has its own integrity and doesnt collapse and spill items out into the car after a corner.
Yes i know the checkout person also stacks in a similar fashion but they are paid the slap it through and into a bag as fast as possible to serve the next customer and i dont mind sacrificing an extra 15seconds of my day over the bag stacking operation to do it right.
