Sigh, everything is being done for political purposes, now Dear Leader Donny can proclaim on the quartermillenial celebrations that "we achieved a nuclear milestone!". And maybe add that this is possible because of his nuclear phy

The other presidents were law-abiding and weren't going to throw random tariffs or executive orders that could ruin these CEOs' businesses. Pathetically the CEOs' concern was their company's market value/stockholder

I think they're relying on the fact that "Nord" sounds like "Nordic", so consumers think "they must be a Swedish company, I hear some Swedish techies are hardcore on freedom, e.g. the PirateBay is Swedish!&quot

Apparently too many people on this forum of "clever" people think "exclusive" means the whole functionality of Airpods, including audio, is restricted to Apple devices... A limitation that would make a lot of economic se

Changing .swiper-wrapper { transition-property } from "transform" to "none" makes for a less obnoxious experience, it stops the text cards from flying left-to-right after every swipe (on a 1080p desktop monitor), my eyes

1. Don't redefine terms. 2. Why is it clickbait, isn't it an accurate half a sentence summary of what happened? If they wanted clickbait it'd be "you won't believe what they got instead.".

How fast do the trains and buses run on "real time" speed? I suppose a 15 meter bus going 50km/h travels roughly its own length (13.40 meters to be exact) every second, so it takes 3 seconds to pass a grid square - checking o

That reminds me about a nitpicky argument around Brexit, they were set to leave at midnight February 1, 2020, but... in which timezone? Brussels time, or UK time? The EU won and the UK left at 2020-01-31, 23:00 GMT (local time)...

Funnily enough, Google Maps' Timeline tells me I went to a different restaurant 5 years ago. Imagine if you went to a McDonald's in 2019 and in 2021 it became a KFC. Google Maps today will say "You visited this KFC in 2019&qu
