It’s $99 a year. I wish my hobbies were that cheap.

Which is a complete non-issue. It’s $99 / year, basically a symbolic amount just high enough to prevent spammers from making a billion accounts.

I have no problems with this. Notarizing your app is trivial and takes just a few minutes. As a user I want to know who actually produced an app and ensure it wasn’t tampered with.

Same goes for carbon steel. Unless you’re frying sticks of dynamite they are practically indestructible.

don’t let apple tell you they invented it.

Why always the knee-jerk anti-apple reaction even if they do something good?

FYI: Apple isn’t telling anyone they invented this. In fact, they didn’t even tell anyone about this feature and declined to comment after it was discovered and people started asking questions.

Cycling through fresh snow is fine, it’s the snow that has been driven over and compacted that’s really slippery.

When you ride over the slippery icy stuff, don’t brake hard, don’t make any sudden turns. Better to just stop pedaling and let your bike roll. Watch out for hard frozen ridges of snow.

Usually the cycle paths are salted early, it’s the part from the busy cycle paths to your front door and the last bit to your destination where you have to watch out.

Snow dampens sound so be careful around cars, you might not hear them coming. If you wear a coat with a hood it might be more difficult and annoying turn your head, resist urge to not look when crossing roads.

As far as I can see it’s taught to young girls to judge other people by their daily wear.

Who is teaching them that?

I wish TLoU 1 gave you the option to sacrifice Ellie. Have an alternate ending where they find a vaccine and everyone lives happily ever after (except Ellie).

Show him the original patent for the toilet roll holder, it shows the how the roll is supposed to go on.

Yep. The best people will leave first because they have options. It’s called the dead sea effect

Lights using a 18650 seem to be the rage these days, at crazy cheap prices, but they all use some UI with clicks, holds, etc.

I have an Olight Seeker Pro 4 and it’s pretty simple to use. The on/off button rotates and controls the intensity. You do have to either hold it for a few seconds to turn it on or rotate the button 90º and then click but that’s unavoidable with these kinds of flashlights.

These lights are very small and yet very powerful. That means you can easily pocket them, but because they are so powerful they also get very hot. You don’t want a flashlight like this to accidentally turn on while in your pocket. If you look at these lights, the head is almost always ribbed, it’s basically a heatsink. Even then when you run them at full strength they usually throttle themselves down after a few minutes to prevent overheating.

They are also very different organizations with very different goals.

NASA is focussed on science, they are trying to learn as much as possible about our solar system and the universe.

SpaceX by contrast is focussed on engineering. They aren’t trying to find life on Mars, they are trying to build the ferry service to it.

When NASA built rockets back in the 60’s, space flight was a science problem. We needed to figure out if it was even possible to do so. Can we even get a capsule into space? Can humans survive in zero gravity? Nowadays space flight is an engineering problem. We know it’s possible, we know the math, but can we actually build those things?

Or just install a door on your bathroom and hang the toilet roll over.

I mean, you have to explicitly give permission before apps can access the camera.

How can an app turn on the camera without your consent?

Swift

Who the hell illegally migrates to Myanmar?

Bacon. It’s super delicious.

Meg, they are kinda disappointing. Even more tasteless than a normal big mac.

Two arrows makes more sense in the context of sharing

Why? Are you sending it to two people?
