It seems like a weird complaint for this specific set, because this is one of those huge and expensive display pieces aimed at rich adults. I would be genuinely surprised if even a small fraction of these kits were ever disassembled -- it

Those do work for most pieces, but the stacked-plates issue is tricky even with one. Stacked 1x2 or 1x1 is the worst because it's almost impossible to even bring leverage into it.

I would consider that if your goal is just general "I'd like to be strong and healthy", whether someone has broken records doesn't really factor in to it. A program that'll take you from unfit to the strongest perso

I can understand Safari tabs. I assume that it all came about because they decided to change the location bar on iOS Safari, moving it to the bottom of the screen. This is a good change -- it makes Safari much easier to use on iPhones wit

Most psychiatric medications are applied through eating pills, mind you, so this seems like a criticism that applies to a vast field of medications...

I did some brief googling on the topic earlier, and the best I could find was "anywhere from 5-20 milligrams of psilocybin per gram of dried mushroom". Which is very unhelpful for working out whether these people took a strong dos

It's probably not "a few weeks and then never again" -- I'm not depressed, but anecdotes from people I know who've tried mushrooms at home for this suggest that one trip produces a noticeable improvement that fades

In remission after three weeks is pretty impressive, too. There's many antidepressants which take a lot longer to ramp up to being effective, even assuming they work for you.

But presumably the attack wouldn't be replacing the screen -- which is what this workaround allows -- it'd be replacing the chip with one that you've compromised, because then you could have it let you bypass security. Not to

I mean, I'm not opposed to this feature existing , but I always thought it was one of WhatsApp's weirder choices as a default behavior. I certainly turn it off the moment I set up WhatsApp on any device -- why would I want random

Yeah, scroll ~75% down their product page and you'll see the flat sheets they ship you. You have to bend it at the perforated-looking lines to assemble the case.

...yes, but again, you might be typing "travel to Malta". Wikivoyage being completely scrubbed from the index means it has no chance of helpfully showing up in those results.

Confusing titles. Many "wikis" in words. :D

Although it's true that people who know they want to use Wikivoyage can get around this, people who're searching for something like "travel to Malta" are the ones really affected by having the Wikivoyage results elided

by kemayo 5y ago
Yeah, for me it's the Wikipedia article about Wikivoyage first. The infobox to the right is still there, but I assume that's separate from the index (and searching e.g. "Wikivoyage London" gets no useful results). https

I searched for it right now -- DDG for "Wikivoyage" doesn't turn up the site Wikivoyage on the first page of results. Amusingly, the linked article is on the first page.

It's even probably the right choice for a popular service to have made. Full E2E encryption is going to trigger nightmare "I lost all my photos" customer-service stories when people forget their passwords... which is acceptab

It is, but it's perhaps incompatible with uploading your private images to a cloud service.

You can certainly construct a reasonable argument that (a) the executive is required to do everything possible/legal before failing to fulfill the budget, and (b) Congress has been aware of the coin loophole for years and has declined

This is silly, but only about as silly as the entire debt ceiling issue. So they might as well go for it. For those of you not paying attention or who are from less-silly countries, the USA has a two-part spending process. First, congress p

I don't use it, but it seems to be free, with an optional "pro" subscription for some extra features. The subscription pricing is only mentioned on the App Store page, and appears to be $3/month or $30/year.

Those aren't things you always need, though. If you commute to an office, sure, you probably take a bag with those things with you during that. But do you take that bag with you when you go out with friends? If you go to walk your do

Not disputing that it's small for a real camera and probably takes fantastic pictures, but it's still the size of 4 iPhones stacked on top of each other, which takes it out of the realm of easy pocket-carrying for me.

That would also be true for any use of iCloud Photos, no? If you don't trust this, then you also can't trust them to be storing them encrypted on their servers.
