I was more thinking of things like surface area. At a certain point, once the sweat starts pooling, the sweat to evaporation ratio goes down (since it can only evaporate at the surface, which is further away from the skin, so now sweat is a

They didn't "lose" 2.7m subscribers. but they did miss their goal by 2.7m. The important thing to note is that stock prices aren't tanking because of 200k. If they had gained 200k subscribers, the stock would have tanked

I'm aware. but also, they aren't the only company to shut down services. They do it more often and more flippantly than other companies, but other companies still do it from time to time. My response to the situation was drastic o

I've taken the self hosting journey to learn tons about docker, and kubernetes. (Disclaimer: Kubernetes is overkill for self hosting). Not because it was the easiest, but because it was a great way to learn about a technology that has

The raised by narcissists sub has 750k subscribers. Reddit has ~500m monthly active users. That's 0.15% of reddit. If 0.1% of people actually are raised by narcissists, that is an accurate number.... 750k people in a single place is a

This is one of the things they do that could be spun as "pro seller". As a consumer, I don't like buying from vendors that I can't verify how much I trust them. So "fulfilled by Amazon" convinces consumers to b

That explains a lot. I often have a syntax highlighting quirk where it thinks that a fold has an open quotation mark in it. And will highlight everything below the fold as if it's a part of a string. I unfold, and clears it all up. but

It's definitely not working in any Lineage 17.1 or 18.1 builds I've tried. Or is it in the gapps layer? I always go with the minimal gapps, so that would make sense.
