Isn’t it super normal to move and turn while sleeping? Is sleeping on the left side so much better that doing it for the first hour only has a noticeable impact? Or do you also need a weighted blanked to keep you in place for it to have that effect?

Sounds like pseudoscience to me.

“Return of the Obra Dinn” is the best Detective-type game I have ever played. Pure inductive, yet always logical reasoning. The setting of an Victorian ship, the 1-Bit artystyle, excellent ost and memorable story really elevate this recommendation to a must-play.

On something from this decade, Balatro is great if you like cards and rouge-likes. But it’s been so popular I don’t think anyone interested hasn’t heard of it yet.

Oh, and as others have pointed out and I’d hate myself for not mentioning it, Tunic is great as well. It’s a love-letter to the instruction book, and makes one really feel like playing an old game and relying on an instruction book, while not being all that great at reading, like some may remember from their childhood. But with modern game design and what others call Dark-soul mechanics (idk, I have never played a Fromsoft game).

Toasters. Specifically the Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster, with the tag line “Automatic Beyond Belief!”. There is a fan site (https://automaticbeyondbelief.org/, excellent url). Like, what other appliance line has a fan site? Surely no modern day toaster!

But of course I first heard about it from Technology Connections video.

As if she had no say on what her name is whatsoever! I personally always legally change my name whenever weirdos on the internet decide my name has suddenly bad connotations, I am at my 5th name this year and already looking for a new one.

Let the language which is without sin cast the first stone.

Tomorrow.

I like the Rock of Ages 2&3 soundtracks myself. Classic music transformed into video game ost is fun.

Also works for the other kind of courting.

Rice Burritos

• Set up pot for loose Rice
• Put the vegetables in the same pot and a bit extra water
• Add Curry Paste
• Cook like it says on the Rice
• Maybe add Coconut milk
• Put in Tortilla, maybe add some salad

3 minutes of vegetable peeling while the water starts to boil, 10 minutes of unsupervised boiling, maybe 5 minutes stirring. You only need to clean 1 pot, and it’s cheap.

There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.

The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice. Village adults don’t, not because they are above it, but since there is a genuine risk a neighbour you’ve known for decades will sue you for stealing; the garbage does belong to them still as the courts have determined.

Edit: Sorry for forgetting the most important part.

I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.

Well, that’s a new thought. Donating blood is necessary, so we get paid by the Red Cross to do it, in money or a small meal. But the Red Cross then immediately upsells that blood to the hospitals that need it. In a sense, we are exploited workers without a contract.

The real reason donating blood is unethical is because we cannot unionize.

Are you describing yourself here or what?

You made a snarky comment, I made a snarky joke in the same vein, you decide to bring in statistics (of the wrong country btw)? Why?

“It’s me, a 8mm Glock. I like to lie threatenly on tables and being pointed at minorities.” What do you think, pretty convincing, right?

Much like the middle finger gesture is offensive because outside the US many people die to birds.

Got into 3D-printing a few years back. Intended to print some replacement parts, a few decorations and gadgets, and took care to not waste too much plastic. In the internet, there are pages dedicated to 3d models other people have printed. They were always a good inspiration on what could be done, and even if the model isn’t exactly what you wanted, it was always a functioning prototype to test with.

Since last year, multicolour printers have gained popularity. They automatically change between 2 different colours, but to make sure nothing of the old colour is left in the system, every time they change it they print out a few grams of waste product.

It’s a waste indeed if you look at the “poop bucket” of anyone who uses these types of printers. Idc if it’s only the “technically recycleable PLA” they use, I don’t like it. And now I have to manually filter out those models, and they can fill an entire page depending on what’s the new trend right now.

CCC reminds me: While it is a huge convention and the talks and crowds don’t feel personal at all, they always need volunteers in groups of 2-3 to watch the fire exits.

Maybe a thing they are passionate about needs small groups of volunteers? I’d assume that there’s always some downtime to talk to one another.

Around the time the pyramid of Giza is built, actual Aliens build a slightly smaller pyramid in modern day Tunisia. No one cares and all conspiracies still center on the ancient egyptian ones.
