  • Yeah, underage drinking is also a big problem, but it's also not one I expect vape or cigarette manufacturers to have much sway over.

    I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a gotcha? Can we not look at one problem without simultaneously solving all problems?

  • That's a fair question. My POV is that not being able to buy sweet fruity flavors might be inconvenient to some adults, but it's hardly something that could be argued to cause an undue burden on vape users.

    It would probably be straightforward to commission a study (or leverage existing study data) to identify the flavors that underage users are most likely to use and start there. If data shows that removing or restricting those flavors is not an impediment to underage vaping, then at that point reconsider the regulations.

    Even if some manufacturers choose to skirt the regulations (no this isn't "grape", it's "purple berry"!), larger companies with the biggest market share are probably not going to want to get tangled up in high visibility lawsuits, and so the likely outcome is that availability goes down, and therefore so does the access and use rate.

  • I mean... yeah, their motivations are obviously not pure, but having vape sellers be licensed similar to cigarette sellers and banning flavors that are marketed to kids both sound pretty reasonable IMO.

  • Ultra HDR is a new image format available with Android 14 on supported devices & camera. Basically it's a JPEG image but some additional data added to it when captured on supported devices. With ultra HDR, images can have darker shadows and brighter highlights.

    I thought the same thing at first, but it sounds like it is just that you can now view the "Ultra HDR"-ness within the app.

    Also,

    Google Messages doesn't strip the gain map metadata from images

  • This is kind of a weirdly phrased question.

    Mathematically, THE argument of the sine function is the angle in question. One definition of sine, using the sides of a right triangle, is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse of said triangle: sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse.

    Edit: it occurred to me that maybe what you're asking is how to compute the angle, theta, for which sin(theta) = a certain ratio of opposite/hypotenuse. There is an inverse sine function (often called arcsin) that does just that. Arcsin(opp/hyp)=theta. That's the case where it would make sense to take the side lengths as arguments.

  • The button on the left should say "adults aged 18-35 are buying less ____ because of ethical concerns/recent health findings/changing values/rising CoL/better alternatives (pick one)" and the bottom panel should say "clickbait journalists"

  • Until compensation in the food service industry is fundamentally reworked, always tip well.

    Unfortunately I think the reality is that as long as people are tipping well, there is little motivation on any party (except the customer) to rework compensation in the food service industry.

    As a customer, I hate the situation. The explosion in tipping (both expected amount and breadth of jobs relying on tips) I've seen in my couple decades as an adult is staggering. But I still want my server to be paid decently, and therefore I tip decently. But it leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time, knowing that the establishment is relying on my guilt to pick up the slack in their compensation.

  • You touched on something that makes sense, but for me personally it takes more than just having different public vs private personas for a person to seem fake.

    Many people naturally have a different demeanor or way of interacting in public than private, which doesn't necessarily make them seem fake. What feels fake is when you can pick up on a deliberate or curated public persona, especially if it's being done deceptively or for some material gain.

  • You know... so many posts on here are either just actively contrary to popular opinion, or not actually that unpopular in reality.

    It's kind of refreshing to see an opinion that is passively unpopular, because few people have thought about it.

    Upvote for taking "unpopular" in a different direction!

  • Damn... what in the younger-millenial hell is this take?

    Maybe drop the entitlement and stop passively waiting for someone else to provide some meaning and purpose to your life. Read a book, take a walk in a park, adopt a pet, learn to cook, play a board game with a friend, smoke a joint and watch the sun set.

    I get that it's probably supposed to be some generic "capitalism is ruining the world" sentiment, but this person just sounds insufferable.
