  So here’s what happened recently:

  • I opened the Google News widget on my Android phone, saw a Sponsored link, and found it interesting
  • Clicked on it, the link opened in Chrome, opening the googleadservices redirection thingummy
  • Took over 5 seconds to process the redirect
  • I exited the browser

  Guess who missed ad money?

  Caught the “FREESPOT-hotel_ichibata” WiFi password
  Is anyone going there to see if it matches? Or if it matches what was set when the writer actually visited the hotel?

  Thanks. Guess I should have checked the sidebar

  All the more reason for them to judge out kinks

  Ionic bonded compounds such as NaCl, when in water, interact with other ions around them.

  But that “Peter” guy told me to “eat veggies” when I asked him how he managed to easily and acrobatically evade that incoming high speed vehicle! Why didn’t he tell me to “eat meat” instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t eat meat (mostly a taste thing), but I’d definitely gift it to a nearby chap doing a bbq after the smack.
  Not to waste something that could become food, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The dude is just staying alert in case another one comes to the dude, trying to do the same thing as the original one.
  Seems like the dude would do the same to any other kind of organism trying the same thing on the dude (perhaps you can try biting the dude’s neck to see if you get the written reaction).

  I’ll call that immunisation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Electric cars don’t own credit cards, yet.
  You want to charge the credit card of the car’s owner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Calling others “creepy” for putting an effort to help you out, just for fun or sth needs to be de-incentivised. And that’s what the ones above are doing.

  Also, the chap who attempted identity theft is probably not going around telling you where they got your information (or that they got it, or that they exist).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would make a lot of sense to the company trying to decide how large their production run should be.

  For the customer, it only really makes sense if they are getting something out of it, like immunity to possible price hikes at launch.

  I don’t pre-order, but then, I am a late stage buyer, so it doesn’t really apply to me.

  No. He should have had a backwards facing lance, attached to the frame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batterypunk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation

  This.
  If it’s in parallel anyway, it doesn’t make a difference, slanting it like that, except maybe, making a worse quality connection, that may disconnect with the cell wiggling.

  Probably doesn’t follow the spec very closely.

  It doesn’t require you to put a double space in the end off a line to get to the next. This is similar to a lot of other implementations you see on web pages.
  But it does at least follow through with single level ordered and unordered lists (bullets and numbering) and even automatically adds a bullet when you press Shift+Enter
  Also, single line code and code blocks, work.
  Then there is the usual italics and bold and even a quote block.

  It also converts most of them while you type, instead of you having to wait until sending it, which is better than UIs that don’t even have a preview button. I like Preview buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person know markdown?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OIC. I should have thought about that.
  And here I was considering making this the default way of doing a strikethrough.

  On the other hand, perhaps we should update the screen readers to make that work. Maybe it can be added as a category of stuff that is to be explained separately.

  The least I can do is install a screen reader and know what it does with this.
