Reminds me of a Steve Jobs video where he talks about quality, and how the Japanese never use that as a qualifier in their advertisements. People don’t assume your product is quality because you tell them it is, they experience it or hear s

Progress should be earned like in Dark Souls. The best example I have is the Caprademon. Early on in the game, you face a single one (granted, in a cramped area) and it is quite an obstacle. Later on in the game you face many of them in a r

The problem with hotel rooms is that they’re more expensive, get much more expensive per additional person, and don’t have the amenities of an appartement. If I’m somewhere with a group for longer than three days, we want to be able to hang

It’s just what the market will bear, nothing more nothing less. Often, identical medicine is sold in the US for 5-20x the price that it is sold for in even North-West EU. If US customers as a whole really couldn’t pay this, the price would

I.. what? You really should read links you post. Brave even has an option where you can choose to do: - “aggressive” blocking (will refuse to connect to ad domains) -“standard” blocking (will connect but block, to prevent breakage) I will s

Nope. Been adblocking on iOS in Brave since iOS.. 14? Maybe 13 or 15. You should really do your research.

Yes. Like, you are a laughably wrong. I can literally see the Brave “shield” icon staring right back at me right there in the bottom right of the screen.

by jorvi 2y ago
You are misleading people into making insecure choices. Go check Brave on iOS right now and tell me that it doesn’t have adblocking. Given that, telling you to be quiet is about as polite as it gets.

by jorvi 2y ago
Err.. most other browsers on iOS do have an adblocker built in. It’s solely Mozilla dumping their users out in the cold. These days ads are an attack vector. I’d never let my parents browse the web without a blocker.

Yes I am very confused by that statement as well. After rides on muddy trails I just hose my bike down, pat the metal parts dry and apply grease to relevant parts. Any city bike worth its salt will have a chain case and long inverted U-shap

Gas turbines and nuclear do not fulfill the same role. Nuclear is base load, gas is peak load. You can’t stabilize a grid with base load because you want to run base load plants at maximum capacity. Whereas peaker plants are quickly spun up

You don’t really need ThrottleStop if you go into your bios, turn off Turboboost and/or powerlimit your CPU. If your laptop bios doesn’t allow that, look for a “quiet” setting in the bios. This changes the PL1/PL2 to 35w/65w
