I can’t speak about puerto rico, but in another latin american country i’ve spent a lot of time in it’s very common for every small store to have a loudspeaker and blast (imo shitty) music from 10 to 5. That isn’t even bad compared to the m

I’m very doubtful of these numbers. Everyone is different, there’s no doubt that walking is beneficial for your health and you should try to walk a bit every day. But I wouldn’t try to hit a daily goal, or certain amount of minutes. Just wa

There’s sabbatical homes[1] which does that. Say someone lives abroad for a year, and doesn’t want to go through all the hassle of moving out all of the furniture or parking their car in a safe place for an entire year just to rent it for

Only 5 years is insane. It took 4 to build the Golden Gate Bridge, and this one is almost 3 times longer.

I think what really throws people off is that they don’t have any way of seeing their comment. e.g. on hackernews comments are submitted fairly quickly, and I find myself reloading very often to check if the comment really has been placed.

One case I can think of is parsing output without the intermittent hidden unicode codes to change the color. Changing terminal settings won’t change that.

To add to this, this is entirely Russia’s fault. Before the invasion of crimea eastern, former soviet countries, were more pro-russia and against the “west”. Obviously nobody likes to interact with someone annexing parts of countries, and d

The article claims that 15 ships pollute as much as all of the worlds cars in terms of co2, but a minute of googling reveals that it’s not the case.. All cars pollute around 3 times more than all ships. That’s still a lot of pollution from

I can’t help but notice that they lived at the same time! Charles was born 6 years later and died 2 years later. Since he was on the Russian side, fighting against the french, where Tarrare was, they should’ve organized a ‘who can eat more’

This just shows how complex and convoluted zoning and housing laws are. I did not understand a single thing why this is legal now.

You could maybe paralyze the matchmaking process by making buckets in which players of all the elos are ranked. Nobody in the top 100 will be paired with someone who is in the last 2000 anyways. So why not split it up on every 1000th player

RTX support isn’t a thing in the java edition, which is showed off in the article here. But you can get minecraft for windows for free if you already have a java key that’s older than 2018.

The name is actually referencing nix in latin, which means snow. That’s also why the logo. But even better is “nix flakes”, which just takes the name to a completely different level.

Have we always wasted so much space for parking? I get that they serve an entire block, but they’re just cars - doing nothing 23h of the day. Not to mention that the parking looks horribly designed. How will you get to your car, if it’s par

No, that’s completely flawed. Beethoven’s style of music is not about liking it or not, it’s about his way of understanding and composing music. If you wanted to know if they liked the music more, you could play any modern song and it would

Seems like a cool project! I use my browsing history a lot to find certain things again and it’s always frustrated me that it’s slow and horrible at finding what I need. But please release a linux version ASAP :) I’m also not sure if I like
