Honestly I remember someone telling me and I’ve never seen it myself so I went looking

Turns out there’s even faster now

This is all over the place

A dude got up to 90mph on a bike just off his own steam before

I remember all the adverts when I was a kid telling me that if I got hit by a car at 30mph there was a 90% chance I’d live (this was the happy path of the advert). This is also cars ostensibly driven by licensed people.

E-bikes with a 25mph limiter are not a risk if we allow cars in the same space as pedestrians

Goddamn so everyone’s a bastard, eh?

WiFi router: 📡

A good VPN that values privacy is a pretty easy answer

Random one, but I get a lot of use out of a boardgamesarena premium membership. I’ve got a few mates that I can’t see IRL as much any more, so it’s nice to be able to jump on a video call and play some board games. Only one in the group needs a membership to unlock all the games and it’s about £30 for the year. Easily better value than a few hours in a pub

I have other subscriptions I find varying levels of useful for me, but hard to argue for many of them being particularly good value.

Good

Hopefully the rest of the industry takes note too

I can’t really see a similarity between the scene and the other track you posted personally, I’m curious what makes something “feel like” it to you?

Though tangentially related, there’s a remix of that scene that lives rent free in my head

Human Music - Ommo

Most people […] write […] comments […] and hope AI picks them up

Really quite sad if there’s even one person out there doing that.

This is also as much of a grift as any SEO that claims to have cracked the code of getting to the top of results. Even if they have figured something reproducible, it will get fixed. If someone can manipulate a search engine to provide results different to what it would otherwise do, that’s a bug they will fix

I’ve been meaning to watch this, thanks for the reminder

The hell are you on about?

Someone who basically just uses their screen to pull up a recipe to make dinner with is not going to have any problems. Similarly for someone who uses it to keep in contact with friends (directly, not via a social network).

Someone who only spends a half hour a day using their phone, but that usage is scrolling on twitter or some bullshit like that? They’re absolutely going to have problems. It only takes a few seconds to read a post and then a shitty idea might lodge itself in their head.

Focusing on just screen time rather than the content on it is expressly not focusing on the root cause, and we’re not going to fix anything if we focus on just the symptoms. It’s like trying to ban hammers because someone is smashing your windows with one. The hammer isn’t really the cause of the problem, and the person doing the smashing will continue a different way if they aren’t stopped.

You can run GlaDOS on that

Why do people focus on the screens and not what’s on the screens? That’s what needs to be regulated

There is no time limit that will render propaganda ineffective

The screen isn’t the problem, it’s the antagonists on the other side

That movement is still energy

Build a circuit to make use of that et voilà

Friction makes heat. Same thing really

Edit: damn the pilcrow renders shit on my phone

Ask him why he doesn’t have a t-shirt with his card details on it

I’m just impressed all the tabs haven’t snapped off yet

Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes

Oh don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t saying this was “just quake”

I think it’s the same words to describe two different things. Less “taking advantage of weird math for optimal speed” and more “kung fu action movie with guns”.

Ah fair play, tbh I saw that list of maneuvers and it was like I’d been warped back 20 years and started watching a hypercam skill video on YouTube with 009 Soundsystem dreamscape in the background.

Well you’ve definitely got me intrigued anyway, I’ll probably pick it up when it’s on sale
