Agreed. It’s ridiculous to think that holding your breath long enough to affect your cognitive thinking is what game designers have in mind.

Always surprising but fun to see a "MPLS" MN state flag graphic in some random github readme. Then I see the username "mplsllc" :) Hello neighbor!

I believe they are having issues with the valves, from what I’ve read.

But I’m just some guy.

I used Shadow PC for a long time. Never any issues over several years. Lots of reasons in preferred it over GeForce. I can expound on that later if needed

Is it possible to fake a world curvature so that using a fog isn’t as necessary, as far items sink below the horizon?

It won’t ALWAYS be nice little rollers. And it depends on diet. Right now with 1 year old it’s a lot of smears but with a good shake they peel off and into the toilet, sometimes helped with the spray wand.

We also use a cheap synthetic fleece cloth liner, too. We just got a couple yards of it from fabric store and cut it into strips. The poop mostly hits that, and since it’s synthetic it slides off well.

My experience with two kids is that solids are easier. With good diet, the poop has a good chance of just being a “roll off” and into the toilet. Get a spray wand/ hand held bidet attachment for toilet to help rinse it off before it goes in wash.

Consider just doing dropping the global leader board. Who benefits from it? For most, it’s a passing curiosity. But for some, it’ll be an obsession which ends up endangering them, animals/plants, and others. These kinds of contents can encourage someone who may not tromp through a delicate bog normally to decide to step off the boardwalk and recklessly go get that picture for the app points. And for 99% of the world, it’s just an additional screen with no chance of being relevant.

Replace it with a leaderboard amongst phone contacts/friended users

I so desperately want this, I think about it about 5 times a week and probably mention it to my wife as often. But in my old small house I doubt I could ever get one set up. Much better than a touch less one.

Zach Weinersmith’s Beawolf graphic novel is basically an ode to Calvin. He has a new book coming out soon, too.

My understanding is that you need an account and Internet for the download and license activation, but then works offline (they specifically say “for extended periods”) in the FAQ. That is pretty much the same as v2 right?

The administration has posited that they don’t have to do backpay for many positions. Currently, there is no reason anyone could expect norms to hold.

Their FAQ says that the account and online access are needed for the download and license activation, but after that it can be run offline.

Perhaps they know that a large buyout will help their employees for various reasons, and they set aside their ego to take care of them.

A company that hasn’t sold out is Adobe— are we in love with Adobe?

Gathered from the FAQ, you only pay if you want Canva AI features. Yes, you create a Canva account, which is free, so that you can get your license. With old affinity, you also needed an account to receive the license.

In the new UI the ai features are tucked into an additional “studio” like how layout, raster, and vector are individual studios. You can choose which studios have a visible toggle, so you can hide the Canva AI toggle if you don’t want to see it.

Perhaps it gets worse over time. But right now, they’ve just made it free.

Also, humans will intentionally act counter to regulations just to be contrarian or send a message. Look at “rolling coal”, or people who race through speed meters to see if they can get a big number. Or recently near me they replaced a lane to many a dedicated bus lane, which is now a “drive fast to pass every rule follower” lane.

I’d rather electric car companies building bikes than cyber trucks, though they are in the same vanity category.

I have an Urban Arrow since the beginning of last February and live in Minneapolis. I’ve used it about 5 days a week for getting my pre-k kid and newborn to the places we need to be, since we bought it. Each day it’s between 6 and 26 miles. That upper end comes from busy days, probably once or twice a month I get above 20 miles in a single day. Definitely not doing that on the coldest days. Studded tires really help.

One unexpected benefit is that the muddy/wet boots don’t muss up the bike like they would if I was loading them into a car. Just drips out the bottom grate.

Lots of other small benefits but not so related to winter.

At least here in my city in the US Midwest, I hear mostly bakfiets to refer to bikes with a front box, to distinguish from cargo bikes which have the rear rack that supports one or two kids on the back.

macOS/ios can also share clipboards for awhile now.

For KDE Connect, does the phone have to be an Android or ?

+1 to urban arrow. Schlep my infant and pre-k kid in it every day of the year and the older kid loves it, is more engaged with the community (she has mentally mapped it and we commonly stop to talk to neighbors in a way we can’t in car), and I can actually fit more kids in it than the car. The car requires a car seat for each kid, which won’t fit across the back seat— the bike takes in an infant seat, and space for two kids on the bench.

I think there is something wrong with the total time for round stat. It only told me 0 minutes 0 seconds. The other time related stats were fine

Any time I see this topic brought up, two things are always mentioned: the "hub" part, meaning the discoverability and social aspect, and the "network effect" of having everyone use a single service (so everyone already has an account and they don't have to create additional account for every self-hosted project.

This is off-topic, but I'm curious about the claims that it has "10,000+ daily active users" and "1 million names generated" yet is being launched here on HN as a first mvp. And the domain name was registered like 5 days ago.

My gut assumption is that the stats are fake, and so with that perspective I sort of assume the reviews are fake (I couldn't find anything related to any of the names except "elara vance" the romance writer).

Is this totally off the mark?

Edit: And this is just an observation of curiosity-- it could totally be that it is all fake, up until enough real stats come in, or it's fake and going to remain fake, or it's actually gained a huge amount of steam and all real. I'm just interested to know, because with that many users it would be surprising to not already know about it.

From the article: The microplastics come from the caps, possibly scratched up before they are placed on the bottle. Cleaning them before sealing the bottle helps.

The live demo doesn’t appear to work on iOS. I couldn’t trigger with a long press.

A delivery truck carries many packages, and delivers them along a route. A drone carries one package. In my neighborhood, that could be a drone every few minutes flying overhead.

Electric delivery trucks are also much quieter than a drone.

And, as another commenter suggested, heavy packages will still be done by truck. So we’ll have trucks AND drones.

What is the browser support? I'm in Orion (webkit) and can't see any changes when moving the sliders.

Minneapolis/St Paul has at least one tool library (with multiple locations). MN Tool Library. Mentioning it in case someone in this thread is interested and lives nearby. Worth it, especially if you know have projects coming up. Lots of tools, indoor and outdoor, and some space for using the tools at their space , and lots of know-how from the staff/volunteers.

Edit: in the same vein, Minneapolis also has a Toy Library that is pay what you can for annual membership and absolutely stocked with toys for every age, and includes outdoor stuff like trampolines and bikes (small sizes) and board games and such. Very worth it for kids that only maintain interest for 2 hours and helps them learn how to give up a toy before getting a new one (similar to adults learning to return a tool…)
