Looks amazing, I guess it simply wasn't possible (or extremely difficult and expensive) to create something like this before the advent of miniature+powerful computing. I wonder how else can ICE's be improved with more onboard pro

Ah, so they do make them! Yes, that's what I meant, like those R35/R30 backpacks. Haven't seen that before, thanks for the link!

I always thought shoulder straps need more connection between them at chest level - would that make sense? I think it would even the load better.

And if this fizzles out people will just go "see? there was no need for these drastic measures, nothing happened!"... Nothing happened because drastic measures were taken...

Oh I didn't mean you specifically, just in general if TL;DRs were on top, more people would not understand or misunderstand what an article/post actually says.

So is this like the "Smoking kills" labels on cigarette packs and limits/warnings on beer cans or what? I'd say literally everyone ignores those.

One can only hope. I absolutely loved Three UK for their unlimited 4G, it was my only Internet provider.

Really depends on their condition when purchased, but 15+ year old cars is pushing it. Not worth buying imo, but I guess as long as they're allowed people will buy them. I think the taxes are higher on really old cars?

Yeah they need to have stricter emissions tests. To be fair, I've seen plenty of surprisingly old cars in the UK, which literally billowed smoke and were visibly rusted... So it's not only Eastern Europe with these problems. Perso

Are you sure? I mean, European directives are not always implemented perfectly, but all countries do try to. It may be that your country is doing something, it's just not noticeable, yet. This is long term stuff, results are only appar

On that note, it actually may be everyone but Apple saying that. Not sure about the laptops, but at least their iPhones are surprisingly repairable compared to Samsung, LG, OnePlus and more. And they use recycled metals inside, too.

I guess you need to couple this mindset with a "do my best, but failure is acceptable" attitude. Either that or a IDGAF attitude towards other people's opinions.

Not the best example due to the physical addiction factor, but overall you're right. Just knowing/believing that things can change/be different is enough of a push for one to actually try and make the change.

I think the point is to have the viewer at least try to read the long version. If they can't or won't, they can quickly scroll down. TL;DRs at the top are just like attention grabbing headlines and opening paragraphs that often do

Romania, which is also severely underprepared for a real outbreak. At least they're locking down borders and checking people, there's a lot of them going to/from work around the EU.

Same, but with the cold. The cold affects me severely, I remember the last time I had the flu over a decade ago, I really don't want to experience that again heh. Living in a big city you're just exposed to more people, you'r

Except that last part won't happen. Like the PATRIOT act, it just keeps being extended. "For the greater good"

Meanwhile, around here people break advised self quarantine because "fork off, I'm fine". No trust in government and a general attitude of "it's just a flu, and I got things to do"...

I guess same way no one has used a nuke or even a dirty bomb yet, even though the latter would be technically feasible for even a small group.

So, I still don't really understand what it actually does, but for some reason I feel like it's a great idea :D. I'll put more time in playing with it.

Of course, it's worth trying anything. I did say they didn't work for me . Sertraline and fluoxetine specifically. Anyone suffering should go to a doctor and try some medication. It's better than giving up thinking nothing w

Yeah, it's poop. None of that works when you're depressed/prone to depression. Add in anxiety and maybe ADHD and you're completely fck'd, it's a neverending feedback loop that only gets worse. Drugs are the onl

I hope they work for some, but for me, SSRI's are frankly, trash. All the downsides with none of the upsides. The only thing that worked was Imipramine, and I can't get it anymore because it's "old" and "not re

Not the first time Intel is pushing for tighter VRM integration. Haswell had FIVR, which I think was pretty revolutionary, the die itself contained VRMs for the CPU, IGP, memory and more. Sadly, they gave up on it, probably because it made

Monitors were still 12V inside last time I checked (5 years ago), they're basically integrating the PSU into the monitors because they use less power and can be smaller/run cooler. It's very likely you can just bypass the int

No debt, enough savings, a house with a lot of land out in the boonies, a willingness to do any job. The 2008 recession did affect me, but I managed. Will manage this time, too. As long as you can learn and adapt, nothing's a problem.

Seems like a good way to reach people interested in your ideas. I need to try it one day :D

In this case, I'd put it on the buyers. It's a lightbulb, and like many home appliances it doesn't need any cloud stuff. Or rather, it can work just fine with self-hosted software. Buy it and never use their cloud services or
