Get the same hairdresser every time, explain it once. The next time you can say “same thing as last time”. Maybe some small corrections here and there, but I never have to explain my wishes anymore.

Wait until you hear that some not only hate the ideas, but think they’re a conspiracy theory by some higher power to make people…… be able to walk to the shops? I don’t know…

You can always wire up an ESP32 with an optical sensor that tracks the blinking of the LED. The meter should state how much energy is represented by a blink.

Fuckin’ yikes

Exactly. Open any post on the internet even slightly hinting towards veganism (or cute animals for that matter), and you’ll have the insufferable army posting gifs of sizzling bacon, steak being cut, or making jokes about how that one guy’s childhood chicken would make for a perfect chicken nugget.

Doesn’t valve provide login-free setup and use of SteamVR for the index and the like? Granted, you’ll need a beefy PC for it, and probably some kind of storefront for most games. But at least no Facebook login strapped to your head.

Don’t forget that they get mad when the government services they enjoy get taken away. Roads, electricity, you name it, they get mad about it.

You don’t really have to buy a new car though, do you? Especially not using a loan. Nearly everyone I know, young or old, poor or well-off has a second hand car.

I absolutely love being able to command+c and command+v in my terminals.

And hamsters into guinea pigs.

I’ve heard the opposite. Apparently most uniforms have to be bought by the parents, and you can see a difference in whose household is wealthy and whose isn’t by how worn down or well-fitting the uniform is. Kids can be so mean…

Somewhat similar: k8s

That meat, dairy, and eggs are essential for a healthy diet.

A purely fossil fuelled electric car (as in, fossil grid) is already more efficient than an ICE.

As others have said, home assistant and the like can achieve this. However, if you prefer not to use any other hardware than what you already have, the Hue app has the “Hue Labs” thingy, where they have sunrise and sunset automations that have the lights do what you describe. Might be worth looking at.

Well, there was the DIN standard for radios back in the day….

Dutch also has the issue with the compound words. Autocorrect will often put a space in there, which is grammatically incorrect (and ugly). I feel like it’s at a point now where the incorrect space usage has become mainstream and might change the language rules. Oh well.

If it’s a backend/service issue, tell the user, but the bare minimum. You shouldn’t disclose too much info about your system to the end user (think of stack traces, error codes unique to some dependency you’re using) as it may give an attacker some valuable information.

JVM warm-ups are a no-no, too.

On windows you can use “windows + .” to get an emoji/symbol picker. “Command + control + space” on MacOS. Probably exists on most Linux distros as well.
