There was once gold tier “pls fix #79697” and platinum tier “Thx for #79697” as well. I find their approach very effective.

yep, !accidentalrenaissance@lemmy.blahaj.zone material

I think they can retain customers’ past flight records and maybe list of media played in flights. That said it’s almost guaranteed some ad marketing corpo is behind, and EULA is always vague enough to allow sharing external party…

So its like they’re living compressed png world chosing 4bit as color depth (it’s 16 colors tho). I’m no retro gamer but some old graphics presents unbelievable level of expression with limited colors, so it’s possible they’re seeing something amazing still.

You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you’re writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.

Reiwa era enters the chat

Most of Japanese hates the arbitary currender year resetting at each new emperor enthronrment. The conversion is ass and no one knows when it changes (bound to emperor’s health) . Worst is its official year that govmt body accepts.

I only encountered once, but when it happened I had to realize how old science field may have been different. The exact detail I was looking for should be in [20] … but “[20] to be published” (presumably by the same author). I couldn’t find any papers by author’s name other than that but the author was so sure getting published.

B looks classy small lady’s hat.

My bad. fixed!

What I hear is mostly water pipes. Commercial buildings have them concentrated in bathrooms and hard to split for each residence.

I know there are bathroom less really cheap places but that attract type of people which property management/urban development corps dont want so they may also be reluctant for that change.

Your own learning resources + Anki.

However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.

You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It’s essentially building course by yourself.

Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.

ARSFT not only with a self-supporting 3D complex shape but also with a porous structure that can accommodate considerable lubricants for an abrasion-resistant super-slippery property.

From what I skimmed, its slippery properties comes from mainly "hydrophobic silica powder distributed among polypropylene powder. Silicone oil is sprayed afterwards to protect it from abrasion and other mechanical force. Even it wears down, all components (hydrophobic silica and lubricant oil) are present on new surface because it’s built porous so the slippery property will be maintained.

Original paper says its mainly polypropylene powder, sintered and porous, has silica powder and silicon oil within.

Octopuses too. Excellent problem solving, retaining long-term and short-term memory, recognizing how mirror works and so forth.

But they’re delicious.

I always check price/weight, and its increase has been ridiculous. For ones that don’t increase price also taste different, sadly. The best way to detect real value vs. price is look into nutrition tables but I don’t have the all database memorized lol so they’ll get away with it. :/

Exactly. Imitation crabs and fish cakes are equivalent of ground meat for fish and presumably easier to simulate. Their market is not as big as salmon, but trying salmon first is like trying to imitate steak meat before making patty decen.

I used zoom for some hobby online meetups. The majority used zoom. I’m assuming that it’s organizer’s choice, which they’re familiar at work. I’d love to spread a word for FOSS alternatives, but sadly I’m not the person organizes events.

The thing is for most people zoom is equivalent of video conference. Zoom has soared its publicity in WFH era, and Zoom decides to (like every corporation does) utilize it, milking every possible profit from it.

I even ‘favorite’-d a tweet instead of like back then…

I start something short. Just like a writing short fanfiction, get some core scene in my mind. Then I backtrack what needs to be there for character’s background and motives. If I’m writing forest scene I don’t plan worldbuilding for city or empire unless the forest is part of common land.

Also, there’s nothing wrong with using established trope in your fantasy writing and worldbuilding. Most readers have basic idea of what elf is, and elf is not trademarked. You can borrow them and add your own twist (and if you feel your version of elf distinguishable enough, you can always replace them later).

IMO whether we’re fucked or not is not a constructive argument.

In either case, the interpretation of climate change can lead to the same conclusion: a) we’re fucked up to the point of no return. So we can keep our wasteful society as is until we extinct, because changing our society will not achieve anything. b) we’re not in that bad situation so we can keep our wasteful society as is until the situation gets really bad and requires change.

Anything could be used to justify not making changes and majority of society/indistry ppl in power are super resistant to it (which likely reduces their profit).

In reality, it’s not black and white. Even if the ‘no return’ scenario is real, we can still lessen the climate change effect or delay catastrophic end if we make changes now.
