Same goes for carbon steel. Unless you’re frying sticks of dynamite they are practically indestructible.

Or just install a door on your bathroom and hang the toilet roll over.

Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX

E-ink screens aren’t backlit. It’s one of the reasons they are so easy on the eyes. They are front-lit. There are LED’s at the edge of the screen and a light guide on top of the screen that diffuses it onto the e-ink screen. Instead of staring directly into a lightbulb like with LCD the light you see is reflected off the page.

Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.

It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.

Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.

I’ll be available 24/7 when they pay me 24/7.

What if you’re a masochist? Wouldn’t it be better to treat others as they would like to be treated?

I’d say “old” RAID could be dead if you have proper backups and have the ability to replace a defect drive fast in the case uptime is crucial.

RAID and backups serve different purposes. Backups are to prevent data loss, RAID is to prevent downtime in case of hardware failure. They are not interchangeable.

E-books. I read too many books for physical to be practical.

The learning curve is a bit steep, but for me it’s part of the fun. You control all the variables, which kind of forces you to learn about the whole espresso making process. Once you got the workflow down it’s not too bad.

Don’t get it if you expect a quick cup of espresso in the morning. Do get it if you like to fiddle with things and want go the extra mile to get the most out of your espresso.

The longer story is it’s actually best to stop charging your phone at 80 percent unless you really need the extra juice, because any time your phone spends above that is potentially damaging, but that tends to be hard to deal with for most people.

iPhones handle this automatically if you enable ‘optimized charging’. They charge to 80% and keep it there until just before you need to take the phone off the charger (they base this on your alarm and some on-device machine learning stuff to predict when you will pull it off the charger in the morning). It then charges to 100% just in time, so the battery spends as little time as possible above 80%.

it’s not blockchain itself, it’s how over-hyped it is for what is a data structure with a very limited and specific use-case.

It’s the fact that ‘blockchain companies’ exist while there are no ‘binary search tree’ companies or ‘weighted directional graph’ companies.

It’s not subjective, it’s fact. You’re welcome to your own opinion, not your own reality.
