> The increase [in use of snus] is particularly evident among women aged 16–29 years, where the proportion of daily snus users has risen from 3 percent in 2018 to 18 percent in 2024. Geez that's a little alarming. Looks like that&#x

Sweden is unusual in that it has a culture of using snus , a non-smoking tobacco preparation, and in fact it is unique among the EU member states in having it actually be legal (it's banned EU-wide, but Sweden got an opt-out in the ac

Am I the only one who eventually got irritated by the LLM-like writing style? It's not quite the usual fare, but it became hard to ignore by the end.

The people who submit low quality LLM-generated PRs often don't bother to read the policies first, but at least it will be easier to reject those.

Yes, and it would have required much more investment in rail upgrades in eastern Germany. I can understand why they didn't go for it.

This is fun to see. I wonder how they handle the fact that PHP puts every type of thing in its own namespace (names of classes, functions, constants, methods, variables, member variables, static variables and class constants don't conf

This is very exciting if you live in the Copenhagen–Malmö area. Currently it takes 5 hours from Copenhagen to Hamburg, and 8 hours if you want to get to Berlin. With this tunnel done, I believe Copenhagen to Hamburg will be less than three

On my mobile device, it's like they've made the scrolling accelerated and slippy, as if it's on ice suddenly. It's very unpleasant.

Perhaps inspired by the name, I searched for something hallucinogen-related, and I thought “The Committee for the Regulation of Opaque Visions” (one of the suggestions for not-yet-generated pages) sounded exciting. Sure enough: https:&#x2F

> Fun to see a contemporary take on something that peaked between 1970s–1980s Maybe that was the peak, but you had some very good TUIs in the early 1990's for DOS apps, where Windows hadn't quite completely taken over yet, but

I didn't say it was the cause of the mental health incident! And I don't believe it to have been "the cause", either. It just happens to have been the thing that caused me to abruptly stop. It likely was a contributor, i

That's true in broad strokes, but looking into it, it turns out NTSC's variant of YUV is called YIQ, and SECAM's variant is called YDbDr. They are however all more or less the same thing, and the digital YUV used by the Wii h
