Does shademap.app do it for you?
There’s also Stellarium, which can be used to show the path of the sun across the sky.
- Comment on Park shades not working 2 days ago:
Ok, I looked it up myself. The sun rises more in the northeast
and sets in the northwest
- Comment on Park shades not working 2 days ago:
when the sun rises and sets in the north.
I beg your pardon?

Interesting fun (?) fact: In Germany you cannot bury a pet that’s been put down by a vet. That’s because the medication used to kill the pet isn’t supposed to leech into the surface water.

Shut up. Seriously. If any frontend designer hears you, the next thing you know is that you need to click through 4 submenus just to skip a song ‘bEcAuSe UsErS gEt CoNfUsEd WhEn ThEy SeE tOo MaNy OpTiOnS’

As I said, “opposite of”, not “the opposite of”

But Antarctica doesn’t derive from “not Arctic”, but from ‘opposite of Arctic’. The bear part is right, though.

For real, this thing must sound like a chopper when it flies (those are wings, right?)

Today I learned that German shows have an international audience. I wouldn’t have thought that.

Thunderbird warns you if you use certain words that hint at attachments, but don’t attach anything. Awesome feature, has saved me multiple times.

At some point YouTube tried to force you to use your real name.

Slow down!

One reason might be to game the YouTube algorithm. Rumor has it that a video with more interaction gets boosted. Though I don’t believe that in this instance, since I respect the creator.
Another reason might be to make the commenting accounts themselves look real. Though I can’t imagine for what purpose.

I believe you’re looking at the wrong y axis.

I love your impression of AIs interacting with AIs.

Without this waiver, getting photos and video would be a pain in the ass and take up some of every volunteer’s time.
No. OP stated the solution: If they want to take a photo, all they need to do is to announce that, ask everyone who doesn’t want their picture taken to leave for a moment, wait 10 seconds, and then take the photo. This takes 30 seconds of time. And you’re comparing that to the loss of not having a full worker work for them?

Didn’t think of that. Thanks for clarifying.

TCP ACK packages are tiny compared to the payload. I’m not sure this is really your issue.

Why would you need a big upload capacity for streaming?
- Comment on oh no 3 weeks ago:
I believe every internet connection in the world is asymmetric. Most people download way more than they upload.

Why not have a fun joke and some education?

Metros aren’t always underground. They also need entrances to their stops above ground.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know what you mean by this. The yellow lines are transit lines. The red circles are stops.

I guess it’s easier to undertake a massive infrastructure project if you can just tell residents to move it or else…
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 3 weeks ago:
What’s the point here? Shitting on a good deed because someone else has done something bad? Arguing that small contributions don’t matter because others cancel that out? Great, now everbody feels entitled to shitty behaviour because they’re not the most rotten apple in the barrel. I’m sure many good things will come from that line of thought.
The rule is “Don’t be a jerk”, not “Don’t be a jerk if you’re the only one”
