I have had a similar scenario. I was in the shower, letting the shower thoughts run. Then i suddenly flinched as I became unsure if I had taken the phone out of my pocket before entering the shower. I slapped my hand instinctively towards my naked leg to feel if my phone was there. Then I instantly realized how stupid I was.

But I'm guessing it also yields more exotic results, depending on the rest of the search term?

It had a good few first episodes with fun geeky jokes, but it quickly turned to bad jokes and lazy stereotypes and relied loosely on stereotypes to contain the geekyness.

It's weird how the price drops when something "included' gets removed. Am I misunderstanding that word?

During the big wave of Among Us, it was also interesting to see "sus" become a popular term, probably because people don't know how to spell "suspisus".

The tile placement game in Satisfactory is worth a mention. I never fully understood the points system, so I never really rode the game to decent scores, but it was a fun break from the vast size of the rest of the game.

I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.

Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.

When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I'll go: I blink.

The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.

It's so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.

I have a great system where I load up a lot of bags into my car so I basically always have access to reusable bags when I drive to the store. And then I promptly forget the bags in the car when I shop and end up with freaking single use plastic anyways.

Post game of borderlands 3 is stupid in this regard. Normal enemies becomes a question whether full ammo in all weapons deal enough damage combined, given that they are all headshots.

I live in Norway. Growing up, some days in school were reserved for diverse activities. Some of my friends and I decided to bike to the swimming park in the city ~20 miles away. We didn't have to bike on car roads at all to get there, as bike lanes and good side paths lead us the whole way. Being able to get anywhere with a bike at the age of 14 is an amazing level of freedom.

Ah, the Norwegian subtitle crew had creative freedom when translating that line. The official translation was "hipp hurra kølletryne" which would translate back to english as "hip hooray club face" ("club" as in golf club or hockey stick - which of course also is a goofy euphemism for penis).

Antimatter doesn't really do anything by it's own, but if we let 1 kg react with 1 kg of matter (non-anti-matter), we get E = mc² with m = 2 kg. So 1.8 * 10¹⁷ J, or 1.8 * 10¹¹ MJ. If we assume that 10 MJ/kg is represented by about 1 cm, the bar would have to be 1.8 * 10¹⁰ cm or about 1.8 * 10⁸ m. A standard A4 piece of paper is about 30 cm tall, so 6.0 * 10⁸ A4 papers are needed. I.e. 600 million papers.

So we definitely have enough paper, but it would be a very tall stack.

From a board game review standpoint, the slowness of the game is my biggest issue. Losing a game of monopoly isn't just counting the score and shrugging off a "good game". You realize that the game is lost way before you actually lose. Meanwhile, you will have to spend a long time - possibly hours - just going through the motions. Roll the dice, pay your dues. Every small gain is slowly erased by the grinding losses. I refuse to play monopoly again.

Now we know its weak spot!

My local course is on the foot of a mountain, with the course utilizing the trees and natural open areas to make nice lines as well as some mountain sides and hills. Very few trees were chopped in the process, and it's not really an area suitable for housing or industries. However, I know that disc golf has quite a different course style at more professional levels. A lot of the courses on pro tours are basically golf courses integrated with disc golf, which doesn't really help with killing off ball-and-club golf.

How is your feeling towards disc golf? It still required a large amount of area, but the grass doesn't have to be perfectly cut, and the sport allows a lot more trees and plants - in fact it requires a lot more vegetation to make an interesting course.

Absolutely. With these kind of focuses, the GOP doesn't have to make conscientious efforts of distraction. People make dumb jokes. People have small hands. People have combovers, bad skin, weird voices and big bellies. Bringing up these things will just start unimportant conversations in field of politics. Instead focus on actual policies which are fucking over people.

Just to mention a few of my use cases:

• I adjust lights from my phone while seated in the sofa to get a good lighting for watching movies. Since my house has open solution between kitchen, dining table and TV corner, it's nice to be able to reduce all lights to my preference.
• In the room I use as an office, it's nice to have integrations with my periferals to adjust lighting to accomodate for video call meetings.
• It's nice to go through the rooms to check which lights are off after going to bed.
• When putting my baby to bed, it's nice to be able to dim down lights from her bedside while singing lullabies and comforting her. I can also dim lights in the hallway to reduce lights peeping through the cracks around the door and avoid lighting up the room when I leave.
• When on vacation, it's nice to have lights which can vary a bit during the day to create the apparence of the home not being empty.

... So is this all worth it? Maybe not. Probably not. I'm pretty confident that I would be happy without any smart bulbs in my home. The inconveniences regularily outweigh the conveniences. But the conveniences do exist, and there are times when I am very happy to have them.

On one hand, I want to point even more at teslas now to piss him off. On the other hand, maybe this is exactly what he wants - people pointing at teslas.

I'll just go back to continue painting road runner murals.

A wireless logitech mouse for gaming from back when wireless technology for periferals still meant a decent amount of latency. I learned quickly why latency is important when gaming. Also the precission of the mouse was terrible as it would regularly skip backwards under slightly accelerated movements. It was pretty humbling for me as a ~15 year old kid to realize I wasted around 4 weeks of newspaper work money on a mouse which I gave up on almost the same day as I bought it.
