All the sounds get mixed together as they approach you (as they compress the same air), by the time it gets to your ear it can be represented by one complex wave.

I could see the benefits of using Arch just so almost every function my system has is near-perfectly documented in Arch Wiki.

That is literally the main reason I started using it - over time I kept running across helpful Arch wiki articles while looking for info on stuff so when I got a new computer I figured I might as well go with Arch.

People have lived in what is now Italy considerably longer (tens of thousands of years) than in North America and we know there were broad scale maps showing Italy’s boot shape at least 2500 years ago so I would be very surprised to find it was not Italy.

200 lbs won’t be walking out so easily

Unless it’s bolted to something solid a 90kg safe could be walked out pretty easily by two people or one person with a trolley.

I already do this and it works fine - as long as you take the critical step of not putting food waste in the bin.

I had an old Series era Landrover as a paddock basher when I was a kid, that had a manual choke. It also had a backup crank handle for starting the engine which I had to use occasionally as I was using starter batteries which had been retired from usage in the family cars, a gearbox with no synchro on first/second, and the foot brake didn’t work. Would recommend, I definitely had fun.

Can’t say I saw that coming, particularly after Microsoft bought them. Nice to have a surprise be pleasant once in a while.

That’s one with big potential but not one to lead off with, best to wait until you’ve ‘invented’ a few obvious game changers and established your philosophic credentials before attempting to introduce basic medical hygiene…

Electricity is a hard ask to even attempt to do in ancient times. Luckily there’s a variety of other simpler things to establish yourself as a genius inventor - strirrups, wheelbarrows, magnetic compasses, the idea of a crank handle, and how to use triangular bracing to make a strong truss would be good options.

Knife, keys, and pen go into left pocket, phone goes into right pocket, wallet goes into back right or right cargo pocket depending on what I’m wearing.

Bags and jackets don’t change the base config, they just allow for more stuff. The exception is motorbike gear - then things move to the jacket pockets for comfort/accessibility.

I don’t have the issue of only having two pockets because I simply don’t buy regular pants/shorts with such a poor pocket selection.

It’s high quality comedy from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The base idea being that the biblical antichrist and final battle is real and approaching but the angel and demon who are meant to be leading the battle between good and evil have decided that after thousands of years on earth they’re actually ok with the status quo.

It’s also a TV series which was a reasonable adaptation (at least the first series, haven’t watched past that) but the book is as usual superior.

They often do come with monitors, and at least in office installs they often get thrown straight back out again as the monitors are put in (the bases commonly get tossed as well due to fitouts using monitor arms).

ai slop

Not everything odd is AI, and I don’t believe this image is.

It’s consistent with the era of the monitors, has controls in believable locations on them, has a variety of angles that look right (including the supports underneath the base), and searching tineye with this image returns results with the same photo going back to at least 2015.

Gen Z, or those born between the late 90s and around 2010.

It can be applied more broadly to mean youths in general though, just as boomer gets used by the younger crowd to mean anyone older than them.

When I started school my year group would use encyclopaedias and the school library to look up information for projects, by the end of primary school (elementary for the yanks) we were using Google in the school computer room.

Petrol and gasoline are the same thing, it’s just different terminology.

Better not let any clean freaks see this - they’ll have a cow!

It’s reasonably acceptable I guess, what people would hate me for is making jokes about getting a gnu name…

A soft drink bottle seems a good choice - they’re designed to handle pressure.

I’m quite happy to not see emojis spammed everywhere, I can deal with an emoticon or two - more so if actually useful for setting tone - but much more than that and you’re pushing it.

I tend to associate posts peppered with emojis with either immaturity or those out of their depth when it comes to technology. I’m sure it’s not always true but it does seem to correlate well with either kids or those whose typing method includes just tapping on the emoji whenever their phone keyboard suggests it.
