Yes. I picked a bunch of coal pieces up at Stockton beach once as a kid and took them home because coal was interesting - I tested burning at least one of those pieces in the wood fire that winter.
The majority of cars don't have a warning for low oil levels, the sensor for that has historically been the owner checking the dipstick. Oil level sensors are becoming more common now as more models appear with them but are still not ubiquitous even in brand new cars.
The oil warning light in most cars is for low oil pressure, and if that one comes on it's time to pull over immediately and hope you managed to turn the engine off in time to save the bearings.
There's not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I'm not surprised it's uncommon.
I don't see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can't write regular posts/comments without cursing it's pretty likely they're just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.
LMFAO at Apple inventing laptops that don’t have weird keyboards
They weren't saying the keyboards themselves were particularly good, they were saying Apple's keyboard placement was a step forward (and it was). This page has a couple of pictures of early laptops - note where the Powerbook keyboard is compared to the others.
Say that to start off with then rather than "there's no way to drive safely above the speed limit on a public road", because there clearly are roads where it can be safe to drive above the speed limit.
Indeed, at least for most modern speed limits. That was intended as more of a rhetorical question to lead the person I was replying to towards noticing speed limits are typically set with a wide safety margin, and not actually at the limit of what can be safe in good conditions.
If speed limits are indeed set at the true safe maximum for all vehicles and all conditions then how can you travel safely at said speed limits in your car, which I would wager cannot corner as well or stop as quickly as a top end sports car?
There’s no way to drive safely above the speed limit on a public road.
If you're driving a well maintained regular car in good conditions you absolutely can drive safely above many speed limits. If the speed limit was set at the true limit of safety nothing but the best handling vehicles in the best of conditions could drive at said limit safely, and this is clearly not the case for the vast majority of speed limits. Instead most traffic can travel safely at the set speed limit in less than ideal vehicles and in less than ideal conditions, so logically there are going to be situations where it would be safe to drive above said limit.
Consider too speed limit changes. In my area there have been a few roads recently which have been lowered from 100km/h limits to 80km/h. Nothing changed about these roads except the speed limit signs. Why was it possible to drive safely at the 100km/h limit one day but not possible to drive safely at the same speed on the next day? Another road several years back had its speed limit changed from 80km/h to 90km/h. Again only the signs changed, so why would it be unsafe to drive 90km/h there one day when that would be the speed limit the following day?
GPS tech is definitely decades old, I could dig out a couple of handheld units I have in a box that would qualify for that distinction (circa 2000) and those were a few models into what was available to consumers let alone unis and governments.
Using that specific application for decades is more of a stretch, but technically possible if you count all Mapfactor navigation and they first used it on a PC (released 2002 apparently). Even on mobile devices it's not that far off qualifying as possible though (released 2007 on Windows CE so 16 years).
It's pretty easy to figure out which way is which and using cardinal directions can result in less ambiguous/confusing instructions, I think more people should use them.
I have my firstname@lastname.email for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.
I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have anon@ymous.tld as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn't say which tld is that it's not one which allows whois masking so it's really not anonymous at all...
Probably should take into account people with learning disabilities and processing disorders
As an option, definitely. As a default though I too would prefer the standard spoken form if the time is going to be spoken rather than displayed. It's a bit like how simplified wikipedia is a good idea but I prefer regular English to be the default version.
If you take the bag right out of the box it tends to be difficult to put back into the box, having seemingly become larger like the rabbit in the OP picture.
How pervasive surveillance and tracking of people (and their data) is in todays society. We've become accustomed to it but I'd bet people a century ago would be shocked at the idea of stuff like regular people being filmed from multiple angles when just going to the shops, having a device in their pocket constantly recording their location, receiving targeted advertising based on what information they've looked at previously, etc.
