Honestly your comment is so beside the point that I am not sure that you are not trolling. You parent comment basically says the very same thing, that you (a IT professional / nerd) are looking for different marketing messages (actual

Doesn't that also mean that vaccinated people somewhat benefit from being infected? Shouldn't they develop natural immunity from that?

Xyla channel is definitely worth a look. But she is somewhat rubbing me the wrong way (no pun intented) ... I am not sure if she had a channel before this one, but she basically appears out of nowhere with a perfect brand image: https:&#x2

I still remember Tzar fondly for it's in game cut scenes. Also, it's one of those games where assassins could could climb walls so even completely turtled up you couldn't be 100% sure that you are safe.

No idea if that is universally true, but I feel like most people here (in Germany) have a lot of respect for red lights. It's not unusual to see cars waiting at a red light in the middle of nowhere.

Not sure about water, but I found that most glues dissolve [something] in the printed surface.

I assume that a lot of people have played around with this concept, it's one of those things that are not too complicated to implement. But I guess I am the only one who used the Zelda, a link to the past overworld as the training in

I just want to note that while housing prices are probably normally distributed, "minimum wage" is a "arbitrary" value that cuts of the long tail (effectively increasing average wages). As, per that definition, wages are

I guess if we find that a pulse is required it will be relatively easy to add a "pressure relieve" valve to the rotary design. Pressure builds up and gets released regularly, just like ye good 'ol pump.

I assume that in theory this would also work the other way around ... find a way to make your CPU move (spatially) a lot slower than you and perform millenias worth of computation in your coffeebreak.

Also papers do not follow any formatting standard, as a human that does not bother us too much, but OCR will have a hard time making sense of multiple columns with random text above and below, figure captions that are separated by the main

Well ... depending on the usecase it _is_ a waste of money. Libreoffice, Gimp and Inkscape are perfectly viable alternatives to MS and Adobe products if you are a casual user. That said, I don't believe anybody who has used the 'r

I recently changed from a 20 yo diesel to a 10 yo gas/benzine car ... on the old car "motor braking" got me reliable from 100 km/h (over land) to 50 km/h (city) speeds ... the "new" car apparently has less

I guess you trade responsiveness for 'on-demand' data transfers. I would guess that the moment you click the button is too late to resume the loading. Otoh the low-res thumbnail might be just enough to show as a (big) placeholder

I mean ... at some level everything today is some kind of "fraud" ... everything that is sold to you is not sold to you out of altruism, but because somebody else is living of that trade. That person in turn has to maximize the pr

Nah ... I don't. But I would guess that speeding up 2-3x doesn't make too much of a difference. Everything sounds thin on them.

Yeah ... but if I wear earplugs I prefer my 5-way [1] in-ears ... ;-) No idea why people need noise-canceling, those (and my drumming headphones) seal pretty well against the outside ... once I put music on I don't hear a thing anymore

I got some bone conducting ear phones lately and really hate them ... both the 30€ and the 120€ versions I tried. Super cheap sound ... basically no bass response. My brain got used to it thou and I still use them daily, listing to (mostly
