Oh yeah I had a few.
- That the moon you see during daytime is actually Mars (I then repeated that to my big sister and she believed it for an embarrassingly long amount of time)
- That the "up" arrows on traffic lights were for planes
When you're born, Pantone checks your skin color and charges you. You need to get a license before you get tanned or they fine you.
Je dis pas que c'est pas plate là... Mais tabarouette que je préférerais qu'on fasse du bruit sur le manque de logements abordables et le mauvais urbanisme à la place.
I loved my Samsung Galaxy Q. But now that I'm used to gesture typing, I wouldn't go back. It's much faster than hitting keys individually with my thumbs.
One thing I do miss though is how quick it was to select/copy/paste.
I kinda like the idea but I also kinda hate it.
I really wish PWAs worked properly cross-platform instead. :(
I started dating someone and then realized pretty fast I didn't like him that way.
The dude was already pretty depressed as a baseline, and I feel like giving him hope and then taking it away like that has dropped him pretty deep into negativity.
Maybe do robotics (likely in a simplified way; surely "robots for dummies" is a thing?) and have them make their robots compete in some sort of competition at the end of the year.
I'm not even a competitive person at all, but when our school had us compete on Popsicle stick bridges, I had a ton of fun. Creative projects with a clear, real-world benchmark at the end are really fun.
I used to get so angry at my dad for trying to pull that trick. I didn't expose his lie but man was I not cool with being dishonest to save a few bucks.
I understand that they need to diversify so that they're not so dependent on Google's default search engine money. I don't know how they should do that.
But I'm not sure what they've been doing has been all that good of an idea.
That's way too broad. Scripting is a pretty broad concept.
Oof. I don't love the liberal government or anything, but I've got a feeling I'll miss them when we're under the conservatives.
Is that a relatively recent phenomenon or has it been that way for decades?
If it's the former, it might explain why they didn't need to before.
They may be worried about people getting offended over screenshots.
Sometimes, when I'm really cold, it can take over an hour to warm me up, even with a heating blanket. The quickest solution, a hot shower, feels really inefficient with all the heat going down the drain.
That got me thinking about microwaves. They heat food (partly) from the inside, contrary to simple infrared radiation.
Could we safely do that with people?
I found a Reddit thread where a non-lethal weapon and people getting eye damage because they stayed too long in front of a radar dish.
Could some sort of device be made that would warm specific areas (say, a hand or a leg) without endangering sensitive areas like the eyes?
Would it actually warm someone up from the inside? Would it be possible to make it safe?
Would it present advantages in cases of hypothermia, compared to heated IV fluids?
I don't see how it's a benefit to capitalism or companies or, well, anyone, really, to allow people to make thousands of trades a day for minute profits on each.
My gut feeling is that the stock market would not suffer, and less resources would be wasted, if trades and updates to stock prices were limited to, say, one batch per hour.
There are probably reasons the system is the way it is though.
