What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?
  • Would any of that really make it heat more efficiently though? You'd need at least two magnetrons, some sort of computer vision system, and a computer to do the necessary calculations. Even if you could practically produce an interference pattern that's better than a single standing wave, I suspect you'd lose more energy than you save.

  • What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?
  • I'm happy to accept that I was wrong, in fact this is a very interesting bit of technology! I didn't intend to be rude, unlike you, clearly.

    I'd also like to add that beamforming, despite the name, does not actually involve creating a directed beam. As I described the antenna still sends a signal out in all directions - multiple antennae work together to create an interference pattern with a stronger signal where a device is located. While I wasn't aware of this technology, it is not as "directed" as the name implies and wouldn't necessarily have applications inside a microwave oven, especially since the wavelengths used are pretty long, so I don't think they would not have much flexibility to create the kind of precise pattern that cooking something while skipping the empty space would require.

  • Pizza Rule
  • A pizza is larger than two of another just before it hits 1.5 times the radius (sqrt 2 times, to be exact, about 1.41). So if the radius is 1.5 times bigger, like in the OP, you always know it's more than twice the area.

  • Most legible scottish person
  • I'm not sure where the line between Scottish English (dialect) and Scots (language) is or where this post lies tbh. There's a complicated relationship between those two and standard English.

  • Most legible scottish person
  • Scots isn't just an accent, it's a language in its own right.

    Although honestly I'm not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol

    So actually having done some more reading this isn't Scots - I'm fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.

  • They'll never understand
  • I appreciate where you're coming from, I have ADHD too, but it's true that if the answer is "I can't do that" and "that" needs to be done... Then I shouldn't be the one whose responsibility it is to do it. I've taken on more responsibility in my current job than I can handle, and that was a huge mistake. It is not on my employer to just put up with that because I'm neurodivergent, obviously they have a role to play in supporting me but I also need to understand what my limits and strengths are and work within them.

  • No Man's Sky lead says Light No Fire will let you climb mountains that are "miles high, taller than Everest"
  • I'm not sure that's something I want. It takes days to climb Everest! I don't want to play for days just to climb a procedurally generated mountain that probably doesn't have anything on top of it. Or at best has some random shit that you can find everywhere else.

  • Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
  • Magic medicine means magic ailments. Just like the introduction of antibiotics produced bacteria like MRSA, the use of magic to cure wounds could produce MRSA. That is, magic resistant staphylococcus aureus, as opposed to methicillin.

    Curses and other such primarily magical ailments could also be much more difficult to deal with than simple infections/wounds.

  • They aren't both fully open, but in the day time I breathe normally through both. I don't get the OP scenario any more but I used to, it's a different feeling to the normal cycle in my experience.

  • I have a love/hate relationship with mine. It does help with allergies and the constant runny nose that I had... But it's genuinely an awful experience lol. I feel like I'm gonna vomit every time.

  • What do I look like, a sailor?
  • If I'm asking directions I'm probably not somewhere where I have a good sense of what's north based on local knowledge. Yeah, I can probably find North here in my home town... But I wouldn't know any of that about New York.

  • [big] switching profiles seems to mess up the theme.

    I have all my profiles set to the same theme (not globals settings, just the same theme), but when switching the colours go awry - I have to go into the theme selection and change away and back to my usual theme.

    Sony Xperia XZ1 compact.

    [Possible bug] Disabling swipe actions doesn't seem to disable swipe actions.

    I often vote/save/hide posts by accident so I turned off global swipe actions, however I noticed I can still swipe on posts.

    I realise this doesn't hit what might be expected of 'terrible' real estate, but these photos look like they were taken on the most middle class floor of the backrooms. So many chairs, all positioned as if just recently departed...
