I’ve had good success with small pieces of electrical tape cut so that a very small part of the LED is still exposed.

I have a car (Toyota SUV) that does the automatic parking brake thing. There’s also a button to manually brake/unbrake them but I’ve not yet found a reason to use it.

Slalom gets pretty close in some ways. It’s amazing to watch what someone highly skilled can do, even when just practicing.

Very little, around 60k.

A 1.44 “MB” floppy is 1440k, or about 1.406 real MB, and of that the space used by the FAT file system reduces it to around 1.38 free space.
For some reason I couldn’t find the exact number and don’t have any handy to check it myself.

In that case it’s actually the twentieth (or more likely twenty first) minor version though, it’s not actually a decimal

Had to look this up.

It’s a quote from Steve Jobs saying he thought computers would enhance minds the way bicycles enhance efficiency of travel.

(One of the search results.)

No I didn’t, but you made me curious so I just looked it up.

It’s not a sound I remember hearing anywhere, but I certainly could have and not known what it was at the time so ignored it.

Australia.

In their mind it’s not a simple difference of opinion, it’s the fate of your eternal soul forever. They can’t understand how someone could reject infinite happiness in heaven for pure unending suffering in hell.

And even worse than that, you are (directly or not) saying they are wrong, that they are fools for believing in fairy tales, and not just about any old subject, but about the most important thing in the universe - it’s whole purpose.

That’s quite a hard thing for a lot of people to accept unfortunately, and some don’t take it well at all. I do feel like I was lucky that my parents didn’t take it as harshly as some do.
Probably helps that I’m still cis and straight, and grew up in a left-wing area, so it’s not like I’m the only atheist they knew.

Just left during the API thing. I’ve rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it’s minutes a month if that much.

Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.

Grew up in a Christian household, but grew out of that kind of superstition around high school or a bit younger. My parents never did, so that and politics caused a bit of tension, but never enough to keep us from talking to each other, visiting, etc.

If you are assuming we live in a simulation, then you have to assume everything else about it too - there is no evidence to point in any direction about anything higher than our own layer, so ours is the only one we can do science on. All else would be imagination, so make up whatever you like.

I do agree though that a simulator can’t fully simulate itself, so yeah, it would have to be bigger and more complex in at least some way, which could simply be runtime.

You’re right, that call was ridiculous. Everyone knows he doesn’t talk.

Trump was explicitly the inspiration for rich-Biff in Back to the Future part 2, so if you’ve seen that, you’ll have some idea of how people thought of him.

This is one of the things that could have been a nice feature, but the devs never fixed it as far as I know.

It should let you set a default, and options in the list should include ‘detect from browser settings’, and ‘most recently selected’. (Default should be that one probably, but on the very first post it should detect it automatically.)

If they had done that, and encouraged the same in apps and other clients, then filtering by language would actually work and not exclude the vast majority of posts.

There are hundreds (at least!) versions of the bible, and that’s just in English. Would have to make sure it’s exactly the same one.

It looks like a code even when not trying to.

The concept for this is called Steganography and that article has several examples, but most would be difficult without tools/references.

The easiest would be stuff like using certain letters of words or word lengths as mentioned in some other comments here.

Jury nullification can be used for evil.
From Wikipedia:

“White defendants accused of crimes against black people and other minorities were often acquitted by all-white juries, especially in the South, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. An example is the trial of Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam.”

So I do think it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

But why?

I’d think in all of those cases it should be the variant that has the greatest population or proximity.
