What do you think of Web seeds?

I for the first time got to know about web seeds, these seed at maximum download speed your device can handle (like usenet) and if the torrent has no seeders at all these can be useful. I have seen their use in archive.org when I was downloading a Librivox audiobook. What are the disadvantages of web seeds? Would the government...

The idiom of "doesn't grow on trees" as a metaphor for scarcity falls apart when you realize that food does grow on trees yet is still very scarce.

Extremely not-fun fact: collectively, humanity currently produces more than enough food for every person. But a huge part of it is either wasted or inaccessible by people that need them, which usually results in them not going to anyone and being wasted, which is why we still have food scarcity.

What's your favorite example of developer's foresight?

My favorite is in the Dawguard DLC for Skyrim. If you somehow get far enough into the DLC to enter the Soul Cairn and you didn’t do the main story quest where you kill your first dragon, you’ll get unique dialogue with a dragon you meet in the Soul Cairn. He calls you Dovahkiin, and you can ask him why he called you that, to...

I wonder how many fires have been started because people left the pizza box in the oven while trying to keep it warm

I’ve seen a few people put their delivered pizza in the oven after everyone grabs a piece to keep it warm. I’ve also seen a lot of those people forget the pizza is in there and either have to throw it out or only noticed after they preheated their oven.

To the people that would consider themselves once having been crazy and now feel sane again - what was the narrative that helped you sort out your mind?

Like,...

I love Nightwish, but I wish more of their lyrics made sense.

A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don’t actually have any coherence. Creek Mary’s Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish’s lyrics don’t....

Pulsar alternative idea

For those like me interested in the Pulsar brewer, I am considering trying a similar poor-man’s setup based on the Oxo compact cold brewer. It also has valve actuation for blooming, and you can sandwich a standard aeropress filter in after its metal filter but before the valve for a cleaner cup. The only catch I can think of...

Is It All Right to Plug a Multi-Socket in an Adapter?

Tomorrow, I’m moving to the UK (yay!) I lived in France for 3 years, and everything has European Sockets. I’ve got for now one Adaptator That goes from European Sockets to UK Sockets. And I was simply wondering if it was ok to plug a 6-EU Multi-Socket into an Adapter? A 600w PC and a 2k144hz screen will be plugged in it, and...
