My kitchen doesn't have a vent to the outside, so I'd have to open windows to deal with any smoke or fumes from cooking. Since I got the air purifier it kicks in when I cook and cleans the air in minutes. I've also noticed improvements with my allergies since getting one.
Watch the presentation for around 40 minutes focused on Nintendo Switch games coming in the second half of 2024. There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation.
Ah, they are talking about an inertial measuring unit. Basically, by measuring all acceleration you’ve experienced you can calculate your change in position. They can’t determine absolute position though, only relative, so this doesn’t so much replace GPS as assist it.
Paizo does have old style forums, maybe those would be a better resource?
My understanding is that a lot of the reasons for defederation stemmed from a fundamental lack of sufficient moderator tools. Tools that have not appeared and the lack of which has prompted Beehaw to consider moving to a different ActivityPub supporting platform in the fediverse.
And caffeine in the coffee would be listed in milligrams, but the alcohol in beer and spirits would be measured in percent and proof.
“You may not instantly see why I bring the subject up, but that is because my mind works so phenomenally fast, and I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number.”
“Er, five,” said the mattress.
“Wrong,” said Marvin. “You see?”

Weird. That bans most marches too. 120 bpm isn't all that fast.
Dyson has over a thousand maps in a black and white line art style. Sly Flourish has a nice article on dungeon maps that has links to many map creators.
I follow the Bogleheads philosophy of investing and use the tenants of a Three-fund portfolio. I like the idea of riding the flows of the market at the lowest cost. Glancing at your list, you have some overlap between the total market and the various “cap” funds, and you don’t have any bond funds. So maybe add in some Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX) depending on how close you are to retirement.
I always assumed that the Boom in Boomer Shooter was more “Gun go Boom”, which seemed to fit the genre quite well.
Ooo! You'd think a double double is 4x so at 2x the price is a steal!
Sure looks like an R, but I wonder if that wasn't always the idea. The shot of Deadpool in a car from the trailer is different from the screenshot on Marvel.com. Looks like they added in additional digital blood in post. Comparison here.
They are already doing that. Patherfinder 2e itself is going through a ‘remaster’ under a completely new license, it has all the OGL remnants stripped out.
The Newton was before its time. So many features we use our phones for today were pioneered in the PDA era.
Interestingly, Apple has donated the phone version of MagSafe to the Qi open wireless charging standard. Soon we’ll see a magnetically aligning wireless charging Qi2 devices from other manufacturers.
Getting out to the dark and just looking up is a really good suggestion of a place to start. Turn Left at Orion is a really good absolute beginner book too, so I second that recommendation as well. One resource I'd recommend that was missing from the article is the Cloudy Nights Forums. It's one of the niche old-style forums that a lot of amateur astronomers frequent.
For me, the Apple Watch is about reducing notifications to mere glances at my wrist. That instead of interrupting what I’m doing to pull my phone out of my pocket I can at a glance categorize what, if anything, I need to do in response to that notification. That and always accurate time to me was worth getting a watch. I upgraded from a series 3 to a series 6 when the sensor tech advanced enough to convince me to update. The 9 has some new stuff, but not enough to convince me to upgrade.
That looks like a type of Thin film interference, like you’d see on an oil slick or a soap bubble. Wikipedia says:
Thin-film interference is a natural phenomenon in which light waves reflected by the upper and lower boundaries of a thin film interfere with one another, either enhancing or reducing the reflected light.
I’d guess the display uses a thin film on one of its layers causing this rainbow interference pattern that shifts depending on viewing angle.
“If you are a regular reader, you know that the word manually is always an indication of change.”
More quality of life improvements. They are really automating away a lot of the tedium, but always making it optional so you still have full control.
