Different strokes for different folks. I liked talking to people at the office - but you don’t have to like it which is why it’s great if WFH is optional

It adjusts temperature (can heat OR cool and in some versions it can heat one side and cool the other) and I think the even more expensive version can morph a bit to your liking, and according to them, reduce snoring.
What they don’t mention is that regardless of whether you get the 3600 euro option or the 5800 euro option, you still have to SUPPLY YOUR OWN MATTRESS. It’s also a subscription service.
If you didn’t hate it enough, it’s also advertised as being “powered by AI”. Which almost certainly is just some temperature adjustment algorithm, maybe even a deterministic one.

They’re really not, but not everyone needs them.
If you’re bordering type 2 diabetes and carbs just make your blood sugar shoot up and crash down, reducing or eliminating carbs can get your shit back in check without medication, and make it much easier to reduce your calories (since you don’t feel compelled to stuff your face again because of shaky hands)

The entire thing has always seemed fake sadly, however, I’d totally do that with my child if I felt the need to put parental controls on their devices. For now, though, it’s not even an issue (too young for any smart devices) and idk, I grew up without parental controls and I’m fine - I’d say everyone needs to play Runescape and get scammed of their most valuable belongings, it makes skepticism come more naturally.

What? I remember a lot of people being impressed how he different he looked in Bandersnatch compared to We’re the Millers, in a positive way?
Maybe just different crowds

Chanterelles and at least some species of Leccinum are pretty good too.
Look into local berries. Maybe something is edible.
Best is to find people who live off the land and still remember what their forefathers taught them about edible plants or mushrooms. If you’re in the US and have a reservation nearby, maybe they keep the old wisdom alive? Idk I’m not American, the only thing I got off a native American was weed.
In countries where there are people dedicated to keeping tradition alive, it’s easier to find someone to ask I think. Here in Estonia a lot of people collect mushrooms and shit, so a lot of passionate people to ask about their hobby.
- Comment on Everything we know about Ferrari’s first electric vehicle 1 week ago:
They make one shitty SUV. They must’ve learned something from Porsche because the shitty SUVs got Porsche out of financial trouble and now they can use that money to keep on building 911s and Caymans and shit, instead of building cars for Mercedes and Audi to keep their sports car business.
The supercars are marketing for the SUVs and the SUVs pay for the R&D for the supercars.
- Comment on Everything we know about Ferrari’s first electric vehicle 1 week ago:
I was wondering how they would make their EV different from every other high performance EV. The suspension setup seems quite interesting and the ridiculous amount of regen braking will be awesome for spirited driving, though I’m still not entirely sure that this thing can have the true Ferrari feel. But it’s irrelevant because I’ll never be able to afford one anyway.

What did you use then? I remember cheap monitors in the early 00s ONLY having VGA. By the time I’d moved on, HDMI was so ubiquitous, I skipped DVI instead.

Friendly reminder that if you use a Dell charger on a HP, nothing happens but vice versa, you damage the motherboard. It kills a chip used for charging. Dell used the same size barrel jack, but they wired it differently from everyone.

I definitely did better in my late teens and early 20s when I was broke compared to my late 20s with money, where I only landed a gold digger. Will see how it goes in my 30s as broke again, think I’ll have to start off losing some weight though. In freedom units, stress has put me at about 300 lbs of eastern European bear at 5’10". Back when that number was 220, I used to do single handed push ups and could do about 20-30 pull ups easily, which I think should roughly give an idea of my body type back then: never fit or thin, but rather, visibly strong. “Built like a brick shithouse” is a term that has actually been used to describe me.
- Comment on Best stay away from that guy 2 weeks ago:
Just because we’re capable of violence (i.e stronger) doesn’t mean we are violent. I’ve had exes attack me at random, never did I do anything to defend myself except maybe try to hold them still. Now if another man attacked me, I wouldn’t hesitate. But never have I as an adult attacked another person. It’s a fucked up thing to do, it’s so easy to accidentally disable another person for life.
Likewise, I’ve never cheated, but I’ve been cheated on plenty. So maybe it’s not a men vs women thing but rather a shitty people thing?
Plus if we’re talking about men seeing women as sex toys, let’s talk women seeing men as walking wallets or maybe let’s just stop stereotyping people based on gender because otherwise we’ll just sow more hate between the genders.

In Estonian we just created a local variant of “to stream”, “striimima”. Though I would also argue that it’s a distinction without a difference. When watching TV you’re also watching a stream.

It’s because seemingly the entire point of fog lights is that you get less reflection back from the fog or falling snow. If you put on the high beams, they lose their point and serve only to further blind oncoming traffic.
I’ve found that sometimes it’s even beneficial to turn off your LOW beams and keep the fogs on.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
This is also the issue with private investment companies.
When the EA deal was announced, people said more or less “this is proof that private isn’t any better than public”. Well that’s sort of true - there’s no guarantee that private is any better, but it CAN be, depends on who owns it. In the case of EA games, it was bought as an investment by a bunch of greedy investors, of course it’s going to be as bad as, if not worse than, a public corp.
