We Avoid Temptation But It Keeps Finding Us

Direct message

Strangely, the benefit of wearing one backward (on your chest) is a little bit better than wearing it on your back.

That’s fascinating and makes me wonder if wearing both at once was tested. I can’t imagine it’d be comfortable though.

It’s things like this that make me mad copyright was extended so long. It was originally set at 20 years to prevent this from happening and encourage people to make new art.

Virtual Machine Manager is what you’re looking for I think

I’m very much not an expert, but I’d imagine it’s similar to how AES-NI works: the task is CPU/GPU-intensive until specific instructions are designed to do whatever blackmagicfuckery level math is required, and once it’s in hardware it’s more both power efficient and faster.

My point was, and remains, that if you’re gonna comment on this dude’s cool thing he made, maybe try not to be a pedantic asshat when the aforementioned dude who created the cool thing essentially calls it Loctite instead of thread locker.

It sticks to his phone via a 3rd party magsafe adapter, presumably like the one I have on my phone to mount a popsocket and shit

Magsafe is the marketing term for a specific layout and design of magnets for a specific purpose that is crucial to the function of the cool AF thing OP made, which you didn’t bother mentioning at all…

That’s not either scale being intuitive or unintuitive, that’s your familiarity with one over the other.

I got curious so I did some research on the definitions and why everything is this way. It looks like they originally picked the coldest thing they had (brine, possibly inspired by the coldest weather), the freezing point of water, human body temperature, and the boiling point of water. It was supposed to be brine at 0, water freezing at 30, the human body at 90, and water boiling at 240. Fahrenheit then recalibrated his scale slightly to make his math (and thermometer design and production) easier, and also because he noticed water actually boiled at 212 by his newly modified scale.

Looking at it like that work the context of what they had at the time and what they were trying to do, it makes a lot of sense.

What? Mostly Why though. IDGAF about Where nor How in this specific case, I’m just so confused.

The soda machine is still $1. This both supports the operation and lures the unaware.
