I can't quite tell if you're serious, but I don't think users would like that sort of bait and switch tactic. It would make GIMP feel like shareware that tries to trick you into paying money.

And you can activate subtitles, where he explains a lot of the things he's doing while he is doing them. I have to admit that I only recently found out about this, even though I have been watching Primitive Technology for a long time.

Seems like the article indeed forgets to mention the distance. I guess the nature article[0] has all the information, but since I can't access that one right now I also found a Washington Post article[1], according to which the distanc

Indeed. It was especially awkward after I searched for "Willy Wonka costume", which prompted Amazon to also show me the results for "Willy costume". Some of those items were then clearly visible in almost every Amazon ad

25 € in Austria. But for higher amounts you can still just hover the card above the terminal and then enter your PIN instead of sticking the card in (at least at some stores).

Not OP, but here in Austria I wear t-shirts for most of the year. I even used to go out in just a shirt on warmer winter days with only light snowfall, but nowadays I really notice the cold when I do that. Everything above 10°C is very comf

I mostly browse in portrait, unless the page has a weird layout; and I hardly ever see people browsing in landscape mode, but this is of course all anecdotal.

This ultimately was what made me switch back to Firefox after I had used Chrome for a couple of years. I regularly have several hundred tabs opened in my browser, and Chrome was completely unusable in that situation, at least back then.

Isn't that exactly the point the parent comment made? I think you misinterpreted his "excavation" (as in archeological excavation) as "excavation for the purpose of construction". But maybe I am the one who misunder

First of all, I love that this prompted you to create an account. The author of the parent comment might not care as much if it is on Instagram, because one doesn't give away just as much information there, compared to facebook; and th

At least earphones and speakers use permanent magnets[1], though according to Wikipedia[2] the early ones actually used electromagnets. I agree though that relays and maglev use electromagnets. I'm not sure about the rest. [1] http:&#x

I think it is only natural to want good experiences to last for as long as possible and to be at least a little "pissed", as the parent comment put it, when you think about the inevitable end. It's similar to your instinct of
