Because the authors celebrate Christmas, but not Songkran or the Chinese New Year.

My experience before blocking it was that most people there are real honest Marxists that are eager to participate in serious arguments.

They just don’t believe in empiricism, logic, or coherence. They believe in the line.

Anyway, I never managed go be blocked, I just got a series of incredibly weird arguments.

Yep. And the good new is that you can block that one too.

Less than half, because glass isn’t a great heat conductor.

You should look for semi-reflective or tinted glass if you want it to not let warmth pass in to your home. (And if you have double glasses, only the external one should be treated.)

The UV-blocking glasses will warm you less, but as you noticed, not enough to make a sensible difference. They add absorption of a very small band of light that isn’t the most intense on Sun-light and is also absorbed by the atmosphere.

It’s a perfect understanding of the bullshit meaningless names.

Posted from .world…

Have the posts grad is full of bothered you recently? You know, there’s a reason why not.

“Minimum mandatory” is doing some distortion here. There are countries where the vacation days can only be reduced with extra payments.

I believe a much larger share of the world will fall into the last category if you focus on “number of vacation a person can expect to have at no cost if they want it”. The 30 days is kinda of a standard.

Their products are currently better than the competition

If you want just a GPU, no they aren’t really better.

They have some different strengths, so they may fit some use-cases better, but they aren’t out-right better.

Oh, so this is about NVidia and its CEO. Thanks.

Yeah, he has been pissing everybody for quite a long time already. People still buy the things he sells…

A progress bar isn’t generally hard.

What is hard is making it move smoothly while still only incrementing and getting the correct time. But I don’t think there’s a single person that still cares about smoothness except for the very extreme cases. By now, everybody has learned they don’t work that way.

Anyway, about those extreme cases, just avoid filling the bar up to 99% on the first 10 seconds and leaving it there for the next 2 hours. Just do that and you’ll be already better than Microsoft, so nobody will complain.

If it’s AWS fault, it’s also their fault for choosing AWS.

IMO, Severance is even weirder.

On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn’t nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

Is it missing an apostrophe and a dash? Or they registered the wrong name?

Anyway, the use of quotes seem to have backfired. I blame Excel.

Well, it seems to improve fitness either way.

Not so fast. The idea that “if companies spend that much, they must have a reason” isn’t any good either.

Some ads obviously work, some ads obviously don’t work, and most of them aren’t in either of those categories.

I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I’ve had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo…

Did she look under the battery?

And the resistance are Vietcong.

Now add those two.
