Stop drinking bottled water: Experts warn of health and climate impacts
  • The tap water here is pretty nasty, we do have a water filtering pitcher though and it does a bang up job so still no need for bottled water.

  • Avril Lavigne replacement conspiracy theory
  • Yes they can!

    There are many different ways it's done but one I find the coolest is a signaling light hooked into the siren of an emergency vehicle. Traffic lights can look for this signal from vehicles and, upon seeing it, heavily prioritize letting the lane it's in have a green.

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • With Internet searching disabled, the start menu is decent enough as a quick launcher and so I find myself hitting the Windows key quite often for that purpose.

    On Linux there are better launchers that I'm too lazy to set up so still just hit Super and use the Application Launcher to find and run programs.

  • He really looks like a different person like this. In both the post and this comment if I hadn't known it was Mr. Beast I wouldn't have been able to guess it.

  • What methodology do you prefer? Monolith factory or microfactories
  • In theory I like micro factory design for how neat and tidy it can be. I'm a really disorganized person though and in practice I make a monolithic mess lol

  • Typed Dictionaries have finally been merged to Godot 4.4!
  • YES! I felt the sore lack of them in 4.3 while working on a project so this is great news!

  • How it works
  • Pizza Hut has a program called "BOOK IT!" which many classrooms across the country enrolled in. Teachers (or Parents over the summer or in cases of homeschool) can set a reading goal for the student and, when they reach it, can award them a coupon for a free personal pan pizza

  • One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"
  • I tried for about a week: reading documentation, viewing and modifying example programs, using a Rust IDE with warnings for all my silly mistakes, the works. I couldn't manage to wrap my head around it. It's so different from what I'm used to. If I could dedicate like a month to learn it I would, but I don't have the time :/

  • This microwave burrito advertises energy in units of kJ
  • That is confusing! Thanks for the clarification and link. I guess I've seen kJ more than I thought, just not by a name that makes any sense lol. Never knew I'd learn so much by posting this lol

  • This microwave burrito advertises energy in units of kJ
  • I was entirely unaware how common and mundane this is basically everywhere outside the United States. This is the first food item I've seen ever list kJ here, which is why I found it interesting, but I guess it's quite standard elsewhere!

  • This microwave burrito advertises energy in units of kJ
  • It doesn't seem to be the case in the U.S. Basically everything I can find that has a nutritional information label exclusively lists "Calories" and I have never seen kJ here

  • This microwave burrito advertises energy in units of kJ

    Recently got some burritos from a food bank and while looking for cooking directions I found this nutrition chart. Never seen a food product use anything other than calories for energy, thought it was interesting.

  • Women are you and your family are you and your family (etc)

  • The key to success is redefining failure
  • Yeah! Been to this cave and we stopped by the dinosaur place while we were there since it was just too tempting. Fun little diversion and the statues are... They're something all right lmao

  • Cords
  • The problem really is the super exposed hot prong you now have once you plug one end in

  • Hail our true supreme leader
  • What jumped out to me was, in the second photo in particular, the suit Trump is wearing looks overly smooth? Just something about how it looks screams uncanny to me, which is odd cause the faces really don't.

  • you can become a dragon (hello 196)
  • I CAN?!

  • Putin pulls units out of Ukraine to defend Russia, Kyiv says
  • That makes so much more sense lmao. I'm definitely guilty of being bad at spotting satire in text.

  • Putin pulls units out of Ukraine to defend Russia, Kyiv says
  • You appear to be speaking nonsense words, they all have meaning and some groupings in your comment do too. In its entirety though this comment makes no sense. An echo chamber is a place that many individuals may go to reinforce their views, with other members backing them up and attempting to remove any naysayers or disagreement.

    A comment cannot, by definition, be an echo chamber.

    Edit: What I find most odd is that your other comments seem to be very sensical. I generally agree with what you have to say, so this is a very strange thing to see you commenting.
