FINALLY

She's not even holding the flute right. I'm not sure the Lord will appreciate her fingerings

Actually, it's spelled curb in the US

Maybe they're double-sided PDFs? /s

As well as the "U" in USB, interpreted rather generally

But, like, to where would they be deported? That typically implies sending them back to their place of origin, but in this case they're almost always from the US. Perhaps exile would be a better term to use.

My proposal: exile them to Texas (let's call it a "Texile"), and then let Texas have that independence they seem to so strongly desire.

I'll just leave this here. In short: a guy wrote a physics engine to simulate any combustion engine, and then further got it working with an electric motor so electric motors can use a simulated vroom vroom

tl;dr: my PHEV does change gears when in EV mode, as weird as it sounds

So, I drive a Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV). It's a hybrid with a larger battery so you can plug it in and drive fully-EV on the battery for about 30 miles/50 kilometers or so. The freaky thing is that the EV motor is connected to the transmission, so it does switch gears sometimes and you can feel it when it does. Even freakier is that this also applies to regenerative braking: when you slow down from a high speed, you can sometimes feel it switching gears while you brake. That all isn't too bad since it's got a dual-clutch transmission and so it switches gears pretty quickly, but it can still be a bit freaky at times.

Additionally: there are some people who have converted antique cars to EVs, but to save money they didn't touch the transmission and instead elected only to replace the engine. They still have manual transmissions in them, though I suppose you could probably just find a suitable gear to leave them on 100% of them time. Still, you can, in principle, switch gears on them.

and your phone only has one number.... right?

Dual-SIM phones are a thing and have been for a LONG time. They're not as common in the US (where I'm assuming you're from given you aren't familiar with dual-SIM phones) but even my S22 supports it, and I think even iPhones come with it stock now. A lot of people use two SIM cards for a multitude of reasons, and so many people have two numbers. Heck, some phones even support three SIM cards.

Dig they bring out a PC client yet btw?

It's been out for a long time now. You have to set it up on your phone first but then you install the application on your computer, scan a QR code to link it, and at that point you can just disable notifications on your phone if you don't want them.

I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.

I do too. To be clear, I did NOT mean that we could go without it today. What I meant was that if we didn't have it to start with, things would've likely still developed albeit much more slowly.

I'll also preface this by saying I definitely slightly misread everything before and so my reply was kinda crappy

It wouldn't necessarily collapse (it wasn't exactly suffering before FOSS stuff "hit the shelves", so to speak) but the gatekeeping that comes with it would certainly cause a tremendous amount of stagnation

Honestly, I think it actually makes some sense this way around. To me, in JS "==" is kinda "is like" while "===" is "is exactly". Or, put another way, "equals" versus idk, "more-equals". I mean, "===" is a much stronger check of equivalence than normal "==", so I think it deserves to be the one with the extra "="

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like clothing lint is supposed to be in our hearts.

Identity. "A is literally B" instead of "A equals B". This is necessary here in JS because if A is the string "-1" and B is the integer -1, JS evaluates A==B as true because reasons

There are mistakes in the message, so no

Counterargument: it ruined https://youtu.be/Vx5prDjKAcw and that's not cool.

Zenni is pretty good. My current pair is from Firmoo and is also pretty good. Goggles4u has also worked fine for me, but they took ages to ship.
