Hmmm yeah, now that you mention it I do remember a few occasions of launching soy milk throughout the kitchen. Still I prefer it over the second one though. After it’s been opened once, it’s much less in the way.
Many of the new bottle caps I encounter will actively push back into the closed position, meaning I have to keep them out of the way when pouring if I don’t want to pour over the cap. Since I tend to encounter them on drink cartons rather than bottles, because I don’t drink soda etc, it becomes even more annoying. Bottles you can turn whichever way, but drink cartons need to be kept at a certain angle for optimal pouring. Quite often the cap is in the way and there isn’t really a nice place to put it.
This is even more frustrating because I never lost these caps anyway, I always threw them away with the packaging. I understand that it probably helps in the bigger picture, but for me personally it solves nothing and is incredibly annoying.
This one is very annoying. It’ll stay in this position and requires constant force to keep out of this position. When opening or closing the packaging the attachment point also rotes, meaning it’s always in the wrong place: https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/a5036bcd-fafd-4804-81d6-21e535950e78.jpeg
I guess it’s similar, but here in the Netherlands we have “fresh” pizza’s at the supermarket. They’re kind of in-between frozen pizza’s and a pizza delivery in terms of price, but imo they’re actually by far the best. For 6-7 euros you get a pretty big pizza with fresh toppings, that’s done faster than a frozen pizza or waiting for delivery, and also tastes really good. In the Netherlands it’s common to live very close to a supermarket, so for me it’s be like a 2 min bike ride to get myself a pizza.
Depends on your definition of “know”. Honestly nowadays I don’t feel too scared to try something in any language.
I’m most proficient in Java and Python. In my free time I nowadays spend most of my time messing around with Haskell, Julia, or Rust. And I have some basic knowledge in a lot of other languages, including C, C++, C#, Kotlin, Groovy, Prolog, JavaScript, SQL, etc, etc.
But as I said in the beginning, I’m not too scared of learning something new. If someone were to ask me for a job where I’d be using Go or Kotlin or something then I’d be fairly confident that I could adjust quite quickly.
I try to (except from here I guess). I feel like a lot of political discussions here lack any nuance, and are often very US-centric. I’m moderately left wing myself, but I still often feel like I have little in common with the sometimes extremely left viewpoints here. They are usually also seem to be defended in a very black and white way. If you don’t agree you’re quickly deemed a fascist or nazi.
Honestly, I feel like online discussions often don’t really achieve anything. Differing opinions are downvoted and often met with name-calling or accusations. I’d rather discuss in-person with friends and colleagues across the political spectrum, that tends to actually lead to a friendly sharing of thoughts rather than the unsatisfactory hate spewing you get online.
Kinda makes sense though. I’d expect images where it’s actually labelled as “an Indian person” to actually over represent people wearing this kind of clothing. An image of an Indian person doing something mundane in more generic clothing is probably more often than not going to be labelled as “a person doing X” rather than “An Indian person doing X”. Not sure why these authors are so surprised by this
Note for Americans: here WhatsApp is the de facto communication standard. Literally nobody uses SMS/iMessage/Facebook messenger/signal. And carriers still charge 2 euro for a MMS which completely kills iMessage/RCS (if accidentally send MMS, it’s expensive)...
I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you. Everyone, and I mean everyone, uses WhatsApp here. Friends, family, work, doctors, landlords, etc. Not using WhatsApp will make you miss get togethers with friends, make it way harder to communicate with colleagues, take away a lot of convenience when talking to your doctor or landlord or something.
I have Signal groups with friends, but you’re never going to be able to fully lose WhatsApp here unless you’re prepared to be “that person” everywhere and miss a lot of convenience.
I probably wouldn’t. Over time the multiple versions of me would diverge in terms of experiences and opinions. And knowing how stubborn I can sometimes be I’d probably get very annoyed with my own clones, which in turn will make me dislike myself more. It’ll force me to perceive my own behaviour as an outsider, which will make me judge myself even harder.
Hmmm, if this were in proportion to body volume then it may lead to an infinite cycle of the ice cream getting larger -> the body getting larger -> the icecream getting larger -> etc. Depending on the frequency of course.
I got randomly recommend “Kena: Bridge of Spirits” recently by Steam and decided to go for it. I just finished the story and it was definitely a good recommendation. Hard enough to make me work for it, which I always like. It is kinda short though, finished it in like 12 hours. It’s a bit janky at times with the camera and jumping, but overall a great experience.
Idk, I’m not really into pop, hip hop, etc. and I also get the feeling that they weren’t as big here in the Netherlands as they were in the states. I’m also very much on the young end of the “millennial” range. I’ve just listened some of their stuff, and I recognise some of it vaguely. But definitely not enough not remember their name.
Microsoft does a lot of bad things, but I got to give it to them here. Their push for accessibility in gaming is definitely a good thing. They’ve been pushing multiple modular controllers in order to allow people with disabilities to play games in a comfortable way. Having the support of a major player in the gaming market like Microsoft will definitely help with support for these products.
I’d like to see anyone build a plane, computer, or any other complex object without having some way to represent variable values in math and without using any math derived using variables. It’s kind of a fundamental thing to have. As a programmer I do sometimes get a bit annoyed with math people using single character variables everywhere though.
EDIT: Additionally, the use of the Greek alphabet is kinda handy. After my first years in university I started to be able to finally decode the stuff my Greek family gave me. Though initially it sucked, because I understood the math but had no idea what character the “gamma” or “lambda” were.
600 cal?! Sjeesh. Puts into perspective how overkill desserts like these are. I just ran for an hour and (according to my watch) burned like 800-900 cal, which I don’t fully trust. One of these bad boys would probably undo all of the hard work
Yeah that’s probably why it’s so noticeable to me as well. I’m not exactly counting calories yet, but I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of excess carbs and calories in my meals. So seeing this is quite the shock.
What’s wrong? I find this a reasonable result. Most people looking for megabyte to bytes are actually looking for mebibytes, since the mega- prefix is literally just times a million but a lot of programs actually list mebibytes as “megabytes”.
