I have an oven that's also a microwave and can also cook with a special pan. It's also smaller than a normal oven, so it's closer to an air fryer and heats up really quickly

The mac I plug into my work center via a single usb-c connection which charges it, connects it to my external monitor, and connects it to all of my USB equipment

I do this with my Dell, which also has many ports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure OP meant the bible, which, iirc, you're supposed to swear on when you take office

Thing is, the universe is really really really fucking big and old. There might have been a million other super advanced societies throughout the universe space and throughout the universe life, but the chances of us knowing about them would still be negligible.

There are tens of billions of planets just in the milky way, most of them probably at least 5 billion years old. And there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe, if not trillions. The nearest one is 25,000 light years away. Do the math.

The chances of life existing elsewhere are pretty much 100%. The chances of us ever knowing about it are pretty much 0%.

Yelling dakadakadaka while going back and forth would be hilarious

I think it has more to do with being readable on small screens, like mobile phones. It still doesn't make sense to me to completely remove your logo and replace it with a sans serif name of your company like jaguar just did.

EoL of anything should mean open source code. You don't want to open source your code? Then you must keep servicing your products and must keep your servers up

You can do it in a multitude of ways. The French for instance elect their president by voting twice, the first time they vote for their favorite candidate (and the parliament), the second time they vote for either of the two candidates that got the most votes (a run off)

There are other ways, like ranked voting, or you could look up parliamentary republics for an alternative form of government.

Read up on what happens in the rest of the world, at this point, we, as a human species, have tried pretty much everything

The concept of sick days is fucking ridiculous

Germans and French vacations are a lot more spread out than this.

In Italy instead it's pretty much mandatory to take vacations in August, as whole industry sectors close down for 2-3 weeks. Factories go on a hiatus beginning from the second week of August to the start of the fourth week, or the end of the month.

Sometimes it's surreal when you stay home in August and the whole city is deserted, no one to be seen, no traffic, no noise, just scorching heat. At least in the North, in the south it's the exact opposite, with everyone going to the sea and the population doubling overnight at the start of August.

June and July instead are pretty much taken by the Germans, especially around the lakes of the North.

Overpriced and mid? Yup, checks out

You shouldn't press the coffee in a moka. Leave it as fluffy as you can

Yeah, but they've stuck to their guns, and now they can stand proud next to the bodies, knowing they never compromised on their moral integrity.

You can put bread in the freezer and it will keep extremely well. Absolutely avoid putting it in the fridge though.

You can then let it defrost naturally, or, if you slice it before freezing it, take out a couple of slices and put them in the toaster, after a couple of minutes is done, warm, and slightly toasted.

Why do you need guns in schools? Even if it's just to teach about them, it's not the place to bring guns into, and giving them to kids creates this expectation that they should own one, and it's normal to own one. It's kind of fucked up. You can have a class discussing them, but they should be expected to handle one. Nobody in the world does that.

The government should just mandate that, to own a firearm, you need a license. This license can be obtained like a car license, after attending a number of classes, passing a written test and a practice test, where you show the examiner you know about gun safety. Then you have to renew every two years or how long it is, pass a medical exam and on you go. If you get caught intoxicated while holding or near an unsafe firearm, your license is taken away from you, with all your firearms, for a period of time, or permanently for repeat offenses, like with cars.

Just make guns act like cars, if it's fine one way, it's fine the other too. Putting restrictions instead of giving guns away like you're Brian from Family Guy trying to buy a carton of milk in Texas will drastically reduce the number of people who even want one. If it's too much of a hassle to own one, most people will just do without.

I'm pretty sure that, with autocorrect, it's harder to write sm than some, so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "theorem", if we wanna call it that, says that, given an infinite amount of monkeys and time, they could write Shakespeare.

This doesn't mean it's actually possible in the real world, it's just to say that random events can seem, from the outside, like intelligent creations. Like a cloud that looks like a pig, no one actually created it to look like that, it was just random happenstance.

Wow, I'm having this issue right now. Forgot my current laptop at home, so I took out the old laptop which hasn't seen an update in months.

Now it has randomly crashed, as one does (reason why I asked for a replacement) and I'm here waiting for windows to install all the updates...

Then there's Italian. We have less letters than other European languages (we don't have k,j,w,x,y) and we still manage to avoid shit like "thoroughly" or spamming letters. We have accents, but use them way less than in Spanish and no special accents or characters like ñ ç č ß å ø ö etc

Once you understand the rules is probably one of the easier languages to spell and pronounce

Depends on the conventions used in your country, there's no real reason for using a comma instead of a dot, or vice versa.

In Italy this is a decimal number: 3,45 and this is a big number: 6'000'870

Every country has its own convention
