lol there isn’t an original unless you count the Eddie Murphy version, which is not really connected to the muppet one. Besides both being about the haunted mansion.
Oh, sorry. I see them every day so I forget that others don’t have context.
It’s a set of bars designed to stop cars coming up a pedestrian lane and / or slow down bicycles at the intersection. There are two sets of bars so you have to sort of swerve through them.
Typically, as I am walking towards the sea in this picture, I grab the bars to swing right towards the town. I recently noticed that I’m not alone because one side (for folks turning right) is worn down by the friction of those hands grabbing to swing right.
This really feels like we’re going to descend into an “is water wet”-style debate. Those are always fun.
I think I’d still consider it a lick even if you just contact one atom of a substance to your tongue. You could even fire it at your tongue with the LHC and I’d still be willing to go along with calling that a lick, using the term very loosely.
I’m less sure on the gas, but fuck it, sure, sticking your tongue into a gas can be a lick between friends. Alternately you could condense/freeze it and lick that form, but that might be worse.
There’s no getting away from the idea that it would be very difficult to lick an atom with sub-millisecond half life. Unless… you create it already inside your tongue! I’m sure we could do that somehow. Probably involving magnets.
In Android just selectively enable wireless ADB debugging and then use ADB Explorer. Easier than plugging the phone in, wireless, and allows access to all folders on the device (including /Android/data/* which is blocked from being accessed using on-device file explorers). Turn it off when you’re done. Boom, wireless data transfer to and from an Android device at way faster than cabled SMB speeds.
IDK, have you tried to copy files over USB-C/USB 3.0 to a phone? I similarly thought it was going to be much faster than it actually is, but it’s still mind bogglingly slow using MTP – especially with file creation operations. Want to move 5,000 small text files totalling 20MB? You’ll be there for 8 hours, haha.
In my experience ADB is significantly faster than a cable (even USB-C+3.0), even when ADB is connected wirelessly. I typically get 20MBps-40MBps using ADB regardless of whether I’m writing large files or a bunch of small files, where at best I will (and a cursory google search sems to indicate most people will) see 8MBps-10MBps over the cable for large files, and when I’m copying small files (e.g., game roms for ScummVM or something), I will get maybe 1Mbps at the top end. Results are consistent between computers I use to copy, cables I use to copy, and phones I’ve copied data to.
I’m honestly surprised that in 2024 copying data to a brand new flagship phone using a USB cable is as poor of an experience as it is.
That horrible abortive fiat multipla, however, will always gather my scorn. Even when discontinued, it was just that ugly with it’s 6 headlights and two noses
Why? Bismuth is pretty harmless from what I can find. It’s not great but it’s way better than lead (which it replaced in a lot of applications). Based on what I read, bismuth probably wouldn’t hurt you if you gave it a lick.
I’ve been getting very close to ditching YouTube. This change showed up a few weeks ago for me and pushed me a bit further.
If they succeed in inserting ads into the video stream I’ll bail alltogether. I can fit a subscription to Brilliant, Dropout, and several creator Patreons into the cost of a YouTube Red subscription, and I won’t have to deal with these attention-optimizing UI changes.
Yes, let’s abuse a country’s poor economy so the service providers eventually raise the price in the region as a direct countermeasure and fuck over the real citizens that needed that cheaper regional pricing.
I’m sorry for my previous tone, it’s just that this subject makes me irrationally angry and I acted without forethought. In retrospect I shouldn’t have written what I did, I apologize, have a nice day.
i haven’t used their search in ages. ddg is good enough and doesn’t flood you with ads instead of actual results. still not as good as Google used to be once upon a time, but I’ll take 80-90% quality over the garbage that is Google search.
