maybe take a look at "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou

Name and shame: Klarna did this.

Not sure if they still do because i stay well clear of them.

If the project owner posted this or is reading here: watch out with the project naming; DivX is a highly litigative brand these days.

Which new purpose do you allude to?

Oh that the was fascinating, too. From visiting more than a decade ago, I understand that most of the permanent population of Whittier lives there (except for some hotel employees) and that they have an underground passage connecting it with the school building opposite (so students in winter can get there without putting on a coat).

FWIW, I enjoyed how the pictures were adding a little theme, were consistent and broke up the reading nicely without being too "noisy" (compared to e.g. technical articles full of meme pictures).

It might just not work for you because Monty Python don't do punchlines. They just dial the absurdity to 11.

There is some element of surprise, but rather at the beginning of a scene than at the end of it. Then it's a matter of "how far can you take this situation", e.g. a knight losing all limbs and still claiming "it's just a scratch" (Sorry for the spoiler but it's been 48,5 years...).

Part of it could also be missing cultural context. Taking the same scene as example, it's a comment on the British "stiff upper lip".

This building inspired the "Oldest House" in the game Control:

You're completely right; I don't know, but challenging that or even just finding out more about the legal situation in Italy was beyond my language skills.

Subscription providers will be as shameless as allowed by law. Or worse.

I try to cancel subscriptions immidiately after signing up when i only want the service for a limited time.

For an Italian newspaper's online subscription, after contacting them for cancellation via web form, my family was informed: you have to call a number and that cancellations will only be accepted 1 day before the end of the subscription.

Let me re-state that: you have to remember, one year after signing up, to call that number within a 24 hour window (maybe less, depending on their office hours), reach somebody, and hope for their honesty in confirming the cancellation, because your have no proof that you did so. Or you are locked in for another year.

Luckily, I had used PayPal as subscription payment method, wich has a separate web interface for cancellation. And also remembered the call after one year, for good measure.

But what a disrespect for consumers! Quite surprised this was apparently legal in Italy (we don't live there, it was an educational subscription).

another bug report: in chat, after somebody changes their nickname and you try to use tab completion on their name, it will use the original nickname for completion

Sleep mode is working so well; i use it as a pause button for Elden Ring (offline mode) - a game where pausing was omitted by design.

(I believe they designed it that way due to the multiplayer features, which i don't care about.)

Well you're not alone with this view. This is were Valetudo and dustbuilder should be mentioned.

With these projects, you can replace the nasty privacy-invasive bits in the vendor's SW stack.

There's a buying guide to find a matching rootable robot for your needs: https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/buying-supported-robots...

I got a pair of Dreame W10s in the last Black Friday deals and they're a great help.

I wish my money wouldn't go towards the vendor crapware that takes extra efforts to get rid of. But i couldn't be happier with the result, having automated the vacuuming and mopping.

Speaking from personal experience, regular distance running increased my dreaming (among other things).

Maybe you could try swipe left/right or rotating gestures that snap to 90 degree increments.

That is, rotating with one finger by holding and dragging either in circle or straight line.

Better not the two finger rotation known from map apps.

You can, there is a small part accessible by cars via bridge which is basically only expensive parking and bus terminals.

And that implements GP's suggestion, but it turns out this is not enough to limit the number of daytime visitors.

I was taught two things when building a miniature version with the kid in a forest education center:

- after drilling holes, make sure to smooth the edges; insect wings could get stuck or damaged on unnaturally rough edges that the wood drilling bits leave. - best to place the insect hotel with the openings facing west

Give yourself an Xmas gift with a print copy of "The machinery of life" by David S Goodsell. You will love it.

capturing carbon?

It's not silly, you found a dojo for practicing "letting go"! Hope your can transfer this to life.

Will try your method if i ever find the appropriate time to play the "special" games on the steam backlog...

Flac decoder does not require floating point math since 2005:

Come to think of it, that still might have been one of the historic reasons for ALAC's creation. Its development started before.

problem solved

OT, but I have to remark: this is an example of a pleasantly fast and writing-focused web page.

it's still 18c+ indoor even without any heating in my flat

You can thank your neighbours.

I would bet it would literally be better to have some person yelling at people to move faster.

You are on to something. This is almost the classic Aldi check-out experience in Germany. Also, for not putting your cart in the correct location.

Validated by exception to the rule (cause the answer is Yes).

Crazyflie is a tiny flying PCB, original version from ~2013 (no camera) https://www.bitcraze.io/

And yes, it is not very robust, I broke one PCB arm but could fix it without affecting the balance too much.

The bigger problem was encountered when it flew out of reach. I had an xbox 360 controller connected to a xbox wireless dongle on my laptop, running crazyflie SW, connected to crazyfly via another dongle. Tested it in a city park (somebody attended to the laptop).

I moved a bit away from the laptop setup while trying to learn to fly it (manual leveling is hard). I don't know which wireless connection failed first. But the result was, it just kept running the last instruction, and flying up, up and away. Luckily the battery failed when it was up about 50-100 meters, and had drifted away about 100m horizontally due to wind.

I was sweating like hell, picturing scenarios of it coming down on a car windshield and causing a surprised driver to crash, etc. Luckily it came down within the same park. Without new damage to drone, or third parties!

Lessons learned: Don't fly an indoor drone outdoors, it's not built to resist wind and doesn't have SW safe for it. And never, ever fly any drone outdoors without model plane liability insurance.
