Probably not what you have in mind, but I’m literally buying two of these [0] tomorrow (for me and my fiancée). It’s a local manufacturer, they have both smaller models and larger models, this one has two 20” wheels and is foldable in two d

I used to smoke weed quite regularly in college (had a well-supplied friend), but had to stop for two reasons. First, I felt it was making me dumb and less ambitious, and second, my body slowly stopped tolerating it. The high was still plea

I had a musician friend in college who would smoke a joint with us and immediately retreat into his room, put on headphones and just listen to music for two hours. Surprisingly, I (audiophile but not that much of a musician) never found it

I'd pay an AAA price for a sequel to that. I used to play it so much that I still regularly hum the orchestral theme.

It's been five months. Do we have enough data to make conclusions? Did the people who were going to buy an EV in February, buy ICEs instead? Could they just be saving for a little longer?

AFAIK pressing the brake pedal should cut the throttle (even most ICE cars do that) and also the brakes should be able to overpower the motors (unless you're doing 200 km/h down a mountain and you melt them before you can stop).

It’s also a major pain in the ass in places where the grid isn’t exactly prepared for that. My parents are allowed to sell power from their EV installation. Their neighbor, who built a much smaller one a few months later, got denied.

Apple TV does not fit this perfectly, but it’s still good enough. There is promoted content, but very little and quite tasteful. I.e. the top of the home screen usually shows suggestions for my content, but sometimes there’s a (static, post

The key is Return. It's always been called Return on Macs (AFAIK). "Return to rename" is just a convention, and it doesn't make sense, but calling the key Enter and not making a distinction between Return and Enter is a

I agree with you, but just in case you don't know, Cmd + Up goes up the hierarchy, Cmd + Down descends into the highlighted directory. I rarely use the mouse in Finder. List view, arrow keys and these two shortcuts are just faster.

I paid $lot for the entire Affinity suite and DxO Photolab instead of going with the (quite good) Adobe offerings just to avoid the insanity that is the Adobe Creative Cloud launcher. I deeply hate apps that install, auto-run and auto-updat

I don't think you got it right, the rate of warming depends on the concentration (i.e. the total amount) of GHGs in the atmosphere, not the rate at which they're emitted. GHGs basically reflect (actually absorb and re-emit) some o

I find this hard to believe. The jump from 3.5 to 4 was huge, like coming from a toy to an actually useable product. And I personally haven’t noticed any significant downgrade from plain 4 to Turbo.
