holy shit! how many terabytes is that?
- Comment on Yes that is definitely what I was going for, thank you 1 week ago:
it really does seem like it, though at least it doesn’t get worse on multi-language setups, which i thought would happen but thankfully didn’t (at least for me)
- Comment on Looking for the spelling / translation on a certain Polish word 3 weeks ago:
As a native speaker I use jedzie in the context of boats embarassingly often. It doesn’t really make a difference in casual settings since you get the message across anyway, but of course you wouldn’t say that in any formal situation.
- Comment on **SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT** 5 weeks ago:
the
overflowproperty in HTML controls what happens in a given element when its contents extend past the element’s boundaries, in other words when the contents overflow.Overflow has 4 possible values (AFAIK):
visible,scroll,auto, andhidden, where:visibledoes not clip the content and lets it extend past the parent element,scrollclips the content and adds a scrollbar so that the user can see the rest of the content,autoadds a scrollbar only when necessary,and
hiddenclips the content that extends past the parent and doesn’t add a scrollbar.Some paywalled/loginwalled sites load all of the article content regardless of whether the wall is up or not, so when a paywall pops up you can just go into the Inspect tool (usually
CTRL+SHIFT+I) and delete the element containing the paywall, and/or, as some_random_nick said, change the article container’soverflowproperty fromhiddentoscroll, letting you see all of the content - Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 month ago:
Damn, that’s interesting! Also just realised I forgot that pulsars are a type of neutron star
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 month ago:
Given that even 3 T is already considered a large amount of flux, would it be even possible for an object with 10 billion Tesla to even exist? And if so, what would it take to achieve that amount of flux? Does a neutron star or a pulsar* get even remotely close?
* - pulling these examples kinda out of my ass – while i’m sure neutron stars have extreme magnetic fields i’m not so sure about pulsars

Oh, right. Yeah, I could do that. Thanks!
- Comment on How do I search for this part? 2 months ago:
That’s a pretty good idea actually. I’ll first try an actual extension to see if it will truly be as bad as you describe, and if it will be, I’ll just make a wedge. Thanks!
- Comment on How do I search for this part? 2 months ago:
Unfortunately no. The swivel range gets severely reduced when I invert the mount, stopping with the camera pointing basically upwards at the mount’s farthest point.
Searching “GoPro mount extension” did bring up what I wanted though, so thank you!

That’s insane. If it doesn’t bother you, how did it feel? How long was the drive? What happened afterwards?

Yeah I thought I was seeing things but nope, actual E.Y.E meme. I still need to 100% it

You see these in Poland every now and then, just with an actual central hole. I remember seeing these in my school, we used to call it srajtaśma (“shit tape” is the best translation I can think of), and it was just as bad as you described it. It also had a very particular smell to it.
- Comment on (Possibly stupid) T440 Thinkpad upgrade idea? 7 months ago:
One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol. That’s specifically why I got mine. It’s a shame I couldn’t find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military specification lmao

oh damn, i didn’t realize you can get boards like that! i thought they all had the i3, so i didn’t bother to look. thanks a lot!
- Comment on (Possibly stupid) T440 Thinkpad upgrade idea? 7 months ago:
yeah that’s what i figured would happen, but it’s worth a shot anyway
