I currently drive a BMW i3 (BEV). Best car I’ve ever owned.

I had the HTC Desire Z back in the day, with a full qwerty keyboard underneath the screen. It was awesome to write on, but it lacked performance.

StThicket ,

Do you have border control between states? It’s basically the same thing with schengen. No control between countries on the “inside”, but rigorous control to get in.

Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

Gerd is a female name where I’m from. You should stick with neek.

Licensing: the same code i compiled yesterday doesn’t compile today.

Artificial Intelligence is a bad word for this technology. Why are we not using the proper name for it? Machine Learning. Its not intelligent, and it might not be for a long time. Feed it crap, and you’ll receive crap.

Holy fuck, i just sprayed coffee on my screen.

Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliamps, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.

It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)

If you are against people who are against fascists, wouldn’t that indirectly say you don’t care about fascism? And that’s how fascism gets a foothold. And with that logic, you indirectly support fascism.

Damn, this is dark

I tried to transfer my eSIM from my old S21 to my new S24 the other day. It failed miserably. My carrier charges me $10 for a new eSIM (which i think is way too much for a digital service). Transferring eSIMs sounds like a good idea if it works, but might not be endorsed by carriers that earn large profits from the service.

StThicket ,

I agree. Because of this, I actually changed carrier to one that was cheaper, had better coverage and free eSIM.

StThicket ,

Because journalists aren’t aeronerds.

I’m not American, but I’ve lived a few years in the US. I find it very interesting that the US invented the electric infrastructure that we use today, but they really screwed up a few things. Firstly, the connectors are far too unsafe. They are flimsy and have no protection from electrocution. Secondly, by using 120V as the main voltage, you need more current to do the same amount of work as a 240V system. Thay means thicker wires, more stress on the plugs, and greater fire hazards.

Shuko plugs FTW

There is no truth like a Russian denial.

Even if this might sound crazy to some, it doesn’t sure me at all. Industries are not upgrading systems just for fun. It’s only done when it is absolutely necessary.

I’ve worked with systems running in windows 95. On laptops so old they didn’t have USB. The only way to transfer new files to it was to use serial link (we didn’t have floppy drives). What did that ancient computer do? Communicate with subsea control systems for oil wells.

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???

I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I’ve never had one, so I have limited experience with it.

StThicket ,

Yeah, but it can also be a type of radio wave

Or square root of -1

TIL In the Hot Coffee lawsuit against McDonalds,punitive damages were given due to McDonalds intentionally overheating coffee to save money on refills (www.poolelg.com)

During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not...

Damn, that was far worse than I could imagine. Poor woman

The problem isn’t the LED itself. The problem is engineers that read the datasheets where it shows which forward current they need. What they forget to think about is that the recommended forward current is for max brightness, so they slap whichever resistor they need, and never give it another thought.

Whenever I design a LED circuit that is only used as an indicator, I always make it 10% or less than recommended, because I do not need to burn away my retina when I test the boards.

I’m privileged to have a boss not caring where we work from, but i prefer to come into the office once in a while because of my social needs. It’s depressing to stay home day after day, but it’s more productive.

Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...

Christmas is largely a pagan tradition that was turned into a christian tradition to make it easier to convert them to christianity.

The christmas tree is not a christian tradition. Santa is not a christian tradition. Nothing really is, except for Jesus allegedly being born on the exact date when the pagans celebrated “Jolablot” or the midwinter fest.

It makes more economic sense to improve the rails we already have, and build faster trains to run on the existing rails (like the TGV), than building completely new infrastructure.

GoGo Penguin is a jazzy trio from the UK that makes midern jazz that is really engaging. I’m really a progmetalhead, but this band is ficking epic.

Bersarin Quartett is another band that I love. It’s is a bit tough to get into, but it’s really rewarding if you like slowish dreamy complex music. All song titles are in German, but luckily there’s no lyrics.

I’m 42, and can drive manual, but I’ve had an automatic the last 5 years.

My son is now learning to drive, but he will most likely not need to drive a manual ever.

I have played this game more than I’d like to admit. It was difficult, but not impossible. Just an awesome game, and quite good for its time

I got some chineese chocolate from a colleague, and it was a plastic wrapped paper box wih 10 smaller boxes on the inside. These smaller boxes were an orb shaped chocolate wrapped in aluminium foil, wrapped in a small plastic bag.

It’s an art not to be judgmental. I always try to see beyond the reception, and give people the benefit of doubt. My reasoning is that most people inherently wants to do good, but sometimes makes mistakes or misjudge the situation. .

I don’t think you can call it sex when it’s forced entry.

The reason for this could be that people who are smart enough to write something comprehensible is most likely not going to do so because of the risk of getting comments from brain dumping people. Social media has given everyone a megaphone - even the dumbest individuals. They keep pouring their stupidity onto the internet for everyone to see.

StThicket ,

I used to work in a store selling electronics - like Best Buy (but a foreign distant cousin). It amazed me that so many people were technically challenged.

I always had to assume that the individual I was helping was an idiot, because I had been dumbfounded way to many times.

StThicket ,

Ever hear of Daewoo Heavy Industries? They make excavators, railcars and ships

What? Tell me more!

Thank you kind sir!

Did you know that arachnids’ legs are hydraulicly controlled? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid_locomotion

You must be fun at parties 😄

Damn, that’s depressing. But considering the pandas sense of self preservation, it makes total sense.

I drove a Y for about 700 km this summer. It was OK.

I enjoyed driving an Audi E-tron much more. And my BMW i3 is a masterpiece as a daily city driver.

StThicket ,

Fun fact. The word window actually comes from the norse word “vindauge” which means windeye.

StThicket ,

Hello fellow Norseman

StThicket ,

Yeah, well, I have to disagree with you on this one.

A few years after I met my wife, we had to sell her apartment so we could move to another city together for jobs. We tried to be cheap and sell the place ourselves to save money. We teamed up with a lawyer that specialised on selling real estates privately. We had a few viewings, but people were hesitant to bidding. We got a lot of questions about why we didn’t use an agent.

After a few weeks, we contacted a real estate agent, and sold the place after just one viewing for a better price even after paying the agent fee.

I think it is important to leave the job to professionals when selling thing with high risk and high value.

Not sure if this means good or great.
