I was originally gonna say Sigur Ros but that’s already been covered

My shout out goes to Niteworks then, who sadly did their farewell tour last year. One of my favourites:

It would be lovely if they all would

I’ve never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who

Frankly, I’ve gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call.

I’m glad this is an increasingly common view though tbh, we all got phones in our pockets a few decades ago, and no one really stopped to set the new line of etiquette that: yes, 99% of the time it’s pretty damn rude to think what you want to talk about with someone is more important than anything they could possibly be up to at that moment. Because that’s what cold calling someone without arranging it first really is, when you boil it down

Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper. And don’t get me started on the godlike German/Turkish magic happening on the streets of Berlin

Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens

The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat

In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

Honestly I remember someone telling me and I’ve never seen it myself so I went looking

Turns out there’s even faster now

I got the inspiration from a visit to Turkey many years ago, give it a go, it’s a game changer

Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code

Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness

A dude got up to 90mph on a bike just off his own steam before

I remember all the adverts when I was a kid telling me that if I got hit by a car at 30mph there was a 90% chance I’d live (this was the happy path of the advert). This is also cars ostensibly driven by licensed people.

E-bikes with a 25mph limiter are not a risk if we allow cars in the same space as pedestrians

I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment

But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed

If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door

Any given person’s sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

If anything like me, just tall

Goddamn so everyone’s a bastard, eh?

I feel like you misunderstood me on purpose…

Funnily enough I thought you were playing along with the bit, so I guess I misunderstood

Figured “enlightened vim user” was a bit more of a giveaway than it apparently is

Vim is hardly an IDE unless you have added a shitload of plugins (which is fine if you want to do that, arguably a plus to have the option)

Notepad++ is way too bloated for a “simple notepad replacement” and often lacking when you need something more serious than that

Although I guess vim never shipped with malware, so I guess it’s lacking in that particular notepad++ feature

All of this would have been easily avoided by its users if they had just listened to the enlightened and switched to vim

I’d rather never turn my computer on again and run away to live in the woods than use notepad++

Wow, so I thought having an explicit 4chan block was kinda silly enough, but finding out it works by running OCR on every uploaded image and looking for the words “Anonymous” and “No” is absurdly silly.

The hell are you on about?

Someone who basically just uses their screen to pull up a recipe to make dinner with is not going to have any problems. Similarly for someone who uses it to keep in contact with friends (directly, not via a social network).

Someone who only spends a half hour a day using their phone, but that usage is scrolling on twitter or some bullshit like that? They’re absolutely going to have problems. It only takes a few seconds to read a post and then a shitty idea might lodge itself in their head.

Focusing on just screen time rather than the content on it is expressly not focusing on the root cause, and we’re not going to fix anything if we focus on just the symptoms. It’s like trying to ban hammers because someone is smashing your windows with one. The hammer isn’t really the cause of the problem, and the person doing the smashing will continue a different way if they aren’t stopped.

Absolutely peerless

Though never tested
