Ime it’s not only the quality/style of music but being compressed and transmitted over phone line (which is optimized for human voice) and also often being way too loud (sudden shock plus clipped dynamic range).

Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there’s a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There’s contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it’s practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don’t change over time.
Eternity on Android passes with flying colors.
I don’t think it works well here because the art styles don’t match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.
After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.
That likely means they’ll put thought into a pleasant controller layout (including steam actions) as well. Good stuff.
I feel like when comparing over a such a vast time scale party affiliation becomes less useful as a metric.
Society and mores have changed so much over the last 80+ years that it’s better to ask about specific questions or habits like: Do you support a smoking ban in public spaces?
or Schools should provide free meals to students: yes/no
and see how the answers develop over time.
That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?
How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?
Is that what the Steam Deck uses? It’s pretty useful.
This is what I used once when my keyboard broke and some keys stopped working. Even ordering the new keyboard was difficult when I couldn’t type my delivery address properly.
Iceland’s president holds a largely ceremonial position in the parliamentary republic, acting as a guarantor of the constitution and national unity.
That’s why.
The 35 year old requirement seems bizarrely high to me, I can’t see why a smart and capable 32 year old should be prevented from running for the office. A minimum age makes sense, but it’s weird that it’s far removed from when most states start to legally treat kids as adults (anywhere from 16 to 21).
Oh nice, I had a lot of fun with the demo back then. I’d describe it as basically XCOM 2 but with super heroes and you can pull off a lot of fun combos when your heroes work together.
You can export all your bookmarks to a single JSON file. it’s a format designed for storing and exchanging data between machines just like this.
Also good for making local backups of your favorites.
Wow, this one actually had me intrigued. So much that I read the whole text below (which is also well written and deserves attention):
The Cotton Looms get all the press in the early industrial revolution, but the Threshing Machine really might be the biggest jump in productive capacity in the history of the world. It cut out so much manual labor (people used to have to bash flails against the grain for hours and hours to separate the seeds) that there were riots all over because it caused so much unemployment and social upheaval. The famous Luddites, who people think of as being opposed to all technology, were mostly mad about automated cotton looms, and their consequences on society. They even went so far as destroying the looms (and other similar movements destroyed threshing machines). They weren’t just backwards thinking technology haters though, but rational people who noticed that there was something deeply wrong with how society was organized that a machine which improved efficiency so much was causing poverty and even starvation among the very workers who it should have benefited. It wasn’t the Luddites who were irrational, but the structure of society itself. After all it should be the people doing back breaking work who are most happy about a machine replacing them, but because all efficiency gains go to the owners, those people are simply out of a job. We’ve seen this time and time again under capitalism, and is even going on right now with AI.
The dragon is based on Adam Smith, who noticed these kind of improvements in production were the key to increasing the wealth of a given society, and that reorganization of society from feudal lords, who largely spent their money on luxuries, to industrial capitalists, who spent a lot of their money on “research and development”, i.e. improving the efficiency of their factories, was causing economic growth and ever increasing wealth. In order to modernize, societies essentially had to get rid of the feudal lords put all of their money into the hands of capitalists as much as possible, to kick start this kind of economic growth.
Without the comic I might never have bothered to read the text though. In that sense it’s very well made.
Anecdotal but I’ve heard that when banks auto generate PINs for debit cards they filter out some suspicious ones like 0000 or 1234 because it only leads to customers complaining and wanting to change them (more work for the bank). Nowadays the customer can usually change them themselves, so it might be less true.
Ha! I instantly recognized this art style. it’s Richard Scarry, British children’s book author. I still have a hard copy of one of my favorites from childhood:
Pretty much. I keep a sheet of aluminum ready to put on top in case the outside is getting too crisp while the inside still needs more time.
It’s appealing but I wish the black font for mountain names had an outline or something to make it more readable.
