This reminds me of this ice cream I used to buy as a kid called the Snow Storm. I’ve eaten it over the years and one day the packaging slightly changed with a new emblem that stated now made with real ice cream. That’s when I started questioning all ice creams. Nowadays I’m more aware of ice cream as opposed to a frozen dessert or treat which a lot of “ice creams” now have on their packaging here at least in the US.

I’ve been a full stack dev for about 11 years. I do some basic algebra but that’s about it.

Great points! Personally for me I can do with less gorey violence. What I’m most interested in is good action sequences.

The Pony Express.

Using shift + scroll wheel to horizontally scroll in a UI. Whenever I see my project manager going all the way to the bottom of the application and dragging the scrollbars to move horizontally it just kills me a bit inside haha.

🎵I want to beat dialysis

But one kidney’s not enough

Forget about the waitlist

And collect them just because 🎵

Kidneymon!

Transplant patient here! Started with my 2 and then got 2 more added in my mid 30s. Later they took 1 of the transplanted ones out because it was clotting.

Score so far:

• 2 original kidneys that have basically been so damaged that they provide no filtering.
• 1 working transplant that is doing all the work and being a champ!

This is a great way to think. Some people are so frustrated with waiting in line at the bank or market. For me, it’s just another unintended break where I get to relax.

For me, it’s Beatmania by Konami. I first played it as a highschooler in the late 90s and it’s totally changed the way I visualize music. I will never not think of music as notes falling towards a line because of it.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can’t see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that’s in the 1000kbps range is not straight up “clarity” in the sense that something like an instrument is “clearer” but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn’t matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don’t have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

I believe emoji was a Japanese creation, not a Apple creation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji

I’m 40 now (married and have a son). My younger family members in their late 20s are having such a hard time with dating that they’re opting in for arranged marriage (which is common for Southeast Asians).

I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.

• Beelink Mini S.
• 2 external 5TB drives.
• A USB fan used as an exhaust because the SSD inside gets a bit warm.

I think total power is about 30W.

I use Deezer’s family plan that includes FLAC/HiFi for $15.99/month.

Are you saying Deemix only downloads at 128kbps? If so, I’ve been using it as well and download in FLAC. Also, I pay for the family plan which is $15.99/month.

Edit: Ah, I’m guessing you’re not on a paid Deezer plan.

Thank you, friend. You’ve convinced me to restart my phone.

Good call. For the commenter above: https://archive.ph/nVy4s

Whenever I hit paywalled articles, I have Gemini summarize it for me. Here’s what I got:

This is an article about a flaw in a password manager. It discusses a man named Michael who lost access to his bitcoin wallet. The password manager he used generated a weak password. Researchers were able to crack the password because of this weakness. They used the date and time the password was created to guess it. Michael was able to recover his bitcoin wallet.
