Come on, this is really laying it on thick! I'd like to see some pretty strong evidence of that almost comically over-the-top list you open with.

So, I've only used a bidet a few times while on holiday, and I did prefer it to just TP... but I don't understand how I could possibly dry that much water with a single square of tissue-thin toilet paper - paper that is specifical

Eh... The full quote is even worse, making it plain he's talking about everyone in Gaza: “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat –

It does exist, but the allowable use cases that third parties can claim "legitimate interest" for need to be severely restricted. At present, it's a joke - a single site can have dozens or even hundreds of companies claimin

Looks interesting - does it have better library management than DarkTable?

There tends to be a lot of low-key (and some not-so-low-key) anti-Chinese xenophobia on HN, so that's likely a big part of it too.

I really like this, it kind of reminds me of "Hangman"! A few ideas, if you don't mind: 1. Have a "normal" mode and "master" mode, where the normal mode has words with maybe 5 letters and the master mode u

The Zanagrams game, which AFACK is from the same developer (?), actually does this - it counts up like a stopwatch, then compares your time to the global average at the end. I much prefer this way, personally at least.

But does it have to be one or the other? Or is there some possibility of somehow removing the PFAS from donated blood?

Back in the 80's the British air force would fly ridiculously low over the rural village I grew up in, certainly lower than they were meant to be allowed to - everyone hated it. You'd be minding your own business and then just a

I guess it's a play on the popular word "quadcopter", rather than "helicopter".

Have you blogged about the earrings perchance? They really do look great, and I'd love to see some details of your process.

Ooh, that is a nice quartz watch! Really good review here: https://www.peterferenczi.com/blog/2023/3/19/the-casio-ocean...

Those look really nice (love the moon phase indicator that some of them have too!), but the "red star" motif on the watch face does put me off.

I just installed Bazzite-DX, and have been really surprised with how easy it was to install, and how well everything "just works". It even tells me when my wireless keyboard batteries are running out, something Windows couldn&#x27

We struggled to get our son into reading too, but he took straight away to comics, and from there he had a long stint with graphic novels (e.g. Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl). You can get more mature graphic novels as they mature and progress

I've been wondering about this lately. As a kid, I spent hour upon hour learning about computing: typing in Basic code from a magazine into a Commodore 64, playing with music on an Atari STe, learning my way around a DOS command line,

Rummo is pretty good, but you have to cook it just right - a minute either side, and it's either grainy or falls apart as a soggy mess. Still, gluten-free pasta has come a long way.

Huh, I'd swear earlier today that page didn't have any actual prices on it, but it clearly does now, thanks.
