I love this approach, but a few years ago I tried it very unsuccessfully with my Xiaomi Mi 34" ultrawide. By very unsuccessfully, I mean that the commands to change input didn't wo…

Was it on 120V in the US or a 240V country? In my 240V country that would normally make a terrific spark and a bang. Do you remember if it blew a fuse or tripped a breaker?

That writing isn't the only "thinking" though. Some thinking can happen in the course of generating a single token, as shown by the ability to answer a question without any interme…

Why is this? In my country they start at 1.

This has really made insurance click for me because while I understand it intuitively, I wanted a more scientific foundation to understand its value. I think a great illustration i…

The lane keep assist in my 2017 Leaf is awful. If I used it, anyone would take me for a drunk driver as it drifts to the edge of the lane and then corrects endlessly. Thankfully it…

At the time of writing, this search will provide a top result saying "Help is available" and giving information about your country's crisis hotline. "1236 800", "1236 + 800", etc. …

One could get into a long debate about whether "most" is literally true or not, but I think most of us should be able to agree that at least a significant proportion of people - en…

I've watched many of the videos on their YouTube channel and have been blown away by all the cool stuff in that museum, and the talented people that keep it going! It's high on my …

I think for many, perhaps even most people, you're right and friendship happens organically without deliberate intent. Some people just do not work this way - maybe it's being some…

Very true. I usually ask "is or was it ever alive", and if yes I'll then ask if it's alive today. Edit: don't know how the similar sibling comment didn't appear to me when I was wr…

I did not know about tables in Excel. Now I do and it may change my life...

I can help with number 2. Two transactions are happening at the same time. Your "sales" revenue account is going up (Credit) by $2 and your cash asset account is going up (Debit) b…

If you are in the hole where you really cannot add load to your database server but want to log the queries, there is a technique called zero impact monitoring where you literally …

And I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie.

In the same vain, as a child of about 10 I used to use a CD-ROM drive hooked up to a PSU and headphones to listen to music in bed. It was lovely as a portable CD player would have …

New Zealand too, and it really is as good as it sounds. Transacting property can be done very quickly, safely and cheaply, and no title insurance is required. The register is of co…

This is very sad news indeed. For years I have longed to visit this museum. I hope that they choose to reopen or that it can be purchased and turned into a more sustainable operati…

In fact, such material is already illegal to possess or trade. The official classification just clarifies that after the fact. The law that makes this material objectionable is the…

I think a lot of people actually depend on the contents of their hard drive a lot less these days than, say, ten years ago, because so much is stored in the cloud - photos in parti…

Unless the money came from an illicit source (I don't think the source was stated, but making a ton of money from Bitcoin's rise is perfectly legitimate), cashing out would surely …

I'm not exactly a "free markets solve every problem" guy, but in this particular case I think we have a platform with an agreed set of rules, and when a willing exchange can happen…
