Oh yeah, the first several hours were a living nightmare. I could not stop the bleeding either and left my bathroom looking like a murderer scene. Ttankfully I managed to avoid going to the ER.

You guys were asleep during that? I had 6 wisdom teeth (that’s right, 2 extra teeth in my jaw, all the doctors gathered to see) removed while awake with local anesthesia.

Hands down the best game I ever played. The immersion is unreal and the ending left me with goosebumps and a dropped jaw.

- Comment on Tesco trials giant trolley scales in Gateshead 4 weeks ago:
I recently had my first experience dealing with an American style self checkout in Germany. That is, one of those self checkouts with the scales that you have to move your items between.
Absolute moronic. At every other store the self checkout doesn’t implicitly accuse me of being a thief. Oopsie daisy, guess I’m never going to that store again. It has too much sensory overload anyway.

The only ones I’ve driven will not shift when you kick the gas pedal down, precisely to let you accelerate faster.

Just curious, what kind of terrain did you encounter that seem to cause such issues with wrongly shifting gears?
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 weeks ago:
Eh, automatic cars will let you go into “manual” mode in which you tell it when to switch the gears. Mildly useful for steep hills to stop it from switching back and forth in some rare scenarios.

You’re right, I wasn’t thinking about the android app when writing this.

Ale we talking about the same thing?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 month ago:
Yeah, works nice as long as you have a server to host it on.
The only annoyance is that it’s not very space efficient and you have to rebuild your database like twice a year to bring the size back down. It might be not that bad depending on what you do. I create above thousand new lines of notes with a lot of pictures every day and I’m at around 2GB after rebuilding the database. I expect it to go up to like 6GB biyearly, but, again, clicking on the rebuild button deals with that.

Have you seen the community-made self hosted sync plugin?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 month ago:
There in fact are FOSS alternatives like Joplin. Personally, I actually switched from Joplin to Obsidian due to a larger community (and therefore community-driven plugins) and overall a more polished UX. That being said, I have the security of switching back if Obsidian ever becomes evil or unusable.
Another aspect is that the entire source code is technically viewable (partially obfuscated) since it’s a web app. Having written plugins for Obsidian, you’re very much interacting with the source code itself. Feels like open source with extra steps and I wish one day they will finally make the switch to true FOSS.

Holding a brand new species with bare hands. Yeah no, I’m out. That thing will end up sweating poison when threatened or whatever.

It looks so flimsy. The size of the keyboard compared to the screen feels like it would be nearly impossible to type on it with the thumbs comfortably and without the phone falling out of your hand.

How exactly does NAT prevent that? On good hardware it adds insignificant latency.

But to be fair, as people we would not ask “how many Rs does strawberry have”, but “with how many Rs do you spell strawberry” or “do you spell strawberry with 1 R or 2 Rs”

I’d like people to actually read the article before commenting. They are renaming their laptops. They’ll continue producing what would’ve been XPS.
