Im 40. It had always been 15% as long as I can remember, and my memory of it goes pretty far back. When I started learning percentages in math class my parents made me the tip calculator whenever we'd go out so that would have been 8 or 9 years old?

Well whatever it is, he'd probably prefer to just keep it in the family.

Watch out about offering to buy something. Sometimes they force you to go through with it.

Ask Elon.

when you know a little German it's much less confusing than it seems

speaking German is easy. Just know German!

40% (900W microwave) at 4m30s is my default go-to for pretty much everything.

Except reheating my frozen lasagna. That's 20% for 22minutes

Neither is solar or wind. But they're all net-zero or near-zero carbon emissions when considering the entire lifestyle of the energy and machinery production.

Visually, I was impressed. As far as seeing the universe brought to life, it was good. As far as watching a movie goes though, it was kinda bad - the pacing was off, elements weren't explained to the viewer, etc. I'd have a hard time recommending it to a person that doesn't know anything about Warcraft and is looking for a good movie to watch.

I hate Lord of the Rings. Well, I don't hate it. I just don't understand why people love it so much (not "why everyone loves it", but "when one person loves it they love it more than anything else"). I don't consider the story all that enjoyable, especially for the movies. I definitely don't consider it rewatchable.

Like, I'm the target demographic. I was 16 when the first one came out. I played DnD and Magic the Gathering. Warcraft 2 was one of my favorite games. Mages and Orcs are something I've always had in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents read the Hobbit to me and I had read fellowship and two towers at some point around 11 or 12. But the movies? They just don't connect with me. And I've never had anyone be able to put into words what it is that makes it click for them.

I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I'm using as a file server, but I'm working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.

If you have a laptop/something that runs off a battery, upower

My parents said the same thing about air pollution and carbon emissions

Yeah, just tell her it's the woke liberals tell her what she can and can't do.

I'll be honest man: it sucked.

Imagine a time where you had a question, and you just... didn't get to know the answer. Like, literally every time you just had to hope someone in your general area had some level of confidence in their answer to satisfy your curiosity until you could confirm it later. Or you'd just go around repeating it to people with out confirming. Whatever.

If something was important enough, you'd go track down an answer. Remember to look it up when you got home using your parent's encyclopedias. Or make a trip to the library.

In a way, we kind of lost something: conversation and discussion. Before I feel like people really picked apart an issue where you'd all come up with a consensus over a few hours of discussion about a topic at a party or something. Then someone would come back with the answer another day, and bring in some more stuff they learned while looking it up, and it would start a whole new conversation.

Unless you need to measure it in grams then it's super simple!

Don't forget that the UK fluid ounces are different (slightly smaller) than the US fluid ounces as well

20 UK fl oz = 19.21 US fl oz

Uranium is still there, it's just sub-critical mass so the reaction isn't happening. Uranium 235 (which would have powered the reaction) has a half life of ~700 million years. So there's still probably a good bit of it there - the reaction is thought to have stopped about 1.7 billion years ago.

Steam link is not cloud gaming. Steam link serves the game from your own PC, not a server in the cloud.
