and 25km/h isn’t super fast on a bike either, at least not for someone in reasonably ok shape and a bike that’s somewhat configured for cycling on roads.

Use a live Linux ISO that can run entirely in memory, and run step 3 in an infinite loop. Take the USB with you and leave the PC running.

Likely not real ice cream, but the cheaper (and more common) ice milk - it has a lower fat content, so more water, and in certain conditions ice crystals do form into small chunks.

Most of the time, they didn’t even try. I’ve copy/pasted their exact question before and the answer was in one of the top 5 articles.

9 times out of 10 it’s a stupid question that they could have typed into Confluence to get the answer though. I gatekeep all of these requests with
“Sure, I’m fairly busy now, but lets schedule something for a little later today when I have some time. In the meantime, can you put your question in the chat here in case I need to look something up? Thanks” - Comment on Is history about to repeat itself? 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention for the wipers up bit, it’ll stretch out the spring that provides the tension needed to hold it to the window, so even after the wipers thaw, they’ll still work for shit, but now they’ll work for shit forever!

Or to stick with the vegan/meat analogy - making the perfect vegan sausage patty by making several meat patties, each one with iteratively less meat until a vegan patty is left, as well as several dead pigs.

I wonder if that’s why so many sequences use “4 on the floor” arranged roughly around a 12 bar pattern, or a specific piece of classical music that the studio could have gotten from public domain
- Comment on The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees 5 weeks ago:
Some aspects of a bartender’s job are already automated - there are “robot bars” where machines prepare and serve drinks. What can’t be automated are the human aspects of the job, as much as AI can mimic conversation, it can’t do empathy or really any genuine emotion which is an important aspect of a bartender/server’s job
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 5 weeks ago:
it’s faster typed out as well. When I worked call centres, we’d shorthand all of our notes because we had 15-30 seconds to wrap up the final notes after the call ended, not to mention no agent wants to read a novel to get up to speed.
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 5 weeks ago:
Fat is also less dense than water, so this particular ICE probably would float.

- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 1 month ago:
I remember having to memorize some amount in like grade 10 science, I think the first 10 were required - but only the name, symbol, and in order. We didn’t have to memorize any of the other details and on tests we either had a full table to work from or the test would provide the relevant information for the elements needed.
I think the memorization part was more a brain development excercise for kids, every class had some sort of “memorize these few things” up until grade 12 or so.

Funnily enough, three real condoms are less effective than one.

You might get some use from Jira or a similar tool…
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
I have ADHD. Open tabs lose context, I forget why they’re open, so they are useless. Bookmarks are categorized and that organization keeps the context apparent. I currently have 5 tabs open, and after submitting this reply, it will be four.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…
right?

My previous router (ASUS) crapped out at about 30 clients on 2.4GHz. New one (TP-Link Archer) is doing fine with somewhere between 30 and 40 depending on whether some clients connect to 2.4/5/6GHz, and about 50 clients total once I count wired and docker containers.

Banking/financial apps are the biggest sticking point that I keep hearing about. They won’t run on a non-Google Android, let alone an AOSP container in Linux.

- Comment on 5 months ago:
It’s not “locked” to a specific distance, it’s fairly elastic and the exact follow distance varies based on speed. So, if traffic slows down, it will gradually close the gap while also slowing down. The end result then is far less drastic speed changes.

I don’t always hang out behind a semi when just doing daily driving, but I will 100% camp out behind one when pulling my trailer - massive fuel savings from reduced wind resistance.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Adaptive cruise control FTW. Matches speed with the person ahead of me (up to the max that I set) and maintains a gap that I can specify. It starts slowing down long before I’d notice the gap closing if I were doing it myself, so the +/- acceleration is a lot smoother as a result.

You might correct one thing, but by the time you did that they already dug up three new pieces of garbage.
