The thing about the ones I've tried is that they all did either go full blast or not at all

I don't understand these things. All I've ever tried to use are waaayy too strong and cause water to splash everywhere. I do have an under-the-toilet-seat one and I like that very much, butI never got the hand of the handheld ones

Also very dependent on the type of work you're doing. If a certain amount of people need to be on site and you need to coordinate that, things get more difficult.

For length, for an average male one meter is about one large step with extended legs (useful for distances), or the distance between e.g. the left side of your torso to the end of the extended right hand (useful for estimating the length of rope or smth).

For weight, it might be useful that 1 liter (that's 1 dm3 but noone uses that except sometimes in scientific literature) is almost exactly 1 kg, and a typical cup fits 0.25 liter. A shot of alcohol is either 20 or 40 milliliters (0.02 or 0.04 liter) depending on where you are and what you order.

For conversions you just need to remember the base unit (e.g. meter and grams/kilograms) and the decimal prefixes. But you really only need milli (1/1000), centi (1/100) and kilo (1000) in day to day life. Then you simply shift the decimal.

might also be to teach actually reading the instructions instead of blindly typing pi into the calculator

I didn't think of that - also for nvim you typically pull plugins from git repositories

Not sure what you want to show with that screenshot. It tells you that 700 MB of your installed RAM is reserved for your integrated GPU which doesn't really have to do anything with Windows.

I just didn't plot anything anymore tbh. I originally wanted to make stencils for electro-etching but I realized that I don't really have that much of use for it.

I did it with my ender 3, using a printed bracket to hold the knife. It's a hassle to use and I barely use it because it's such a pita. I managed to make a few nice cutouts though so it's definitely possible. I just wouldn't recommend it.

So, a typical pupil is around 2 mm in diameter in bright conditions. With the Rayleigh limit that results in an angular resolution of 1.22 * 60010^-9 m / 210^{-3 m = 3.66*10}-4 rad

At a distance of 5 x 3 mi = 15 mi = 24.1 km this corresponds to a point to point distance of

tan(a/2) = (d/2)/l

d = tan(a/2) * l * 2 = tan(3.66*10^-4) * 24100 * 2 = 8.8 m

So in conclusion, with regular, human-like eyes he could discern points that are at least 8.8 m apart in the best case scenario. Discerning hair color from the color of the clothes would need a much higher resolution, and the horsemen are probably not 10 m apart from each other either. And again, this is a theoretical limit, real-world resolution would probably be significantly lower.

have you tried the eurokey layout? At least for German it has all the relevant characters easily reachable.

even if you ignore curvature you have a resolution limit that depends on the aperture. Look up Rayleigh criterion for more info

Balatro has an Android version which is great

Most organic things will get converted to biomass/CO2/NH3/... in the end. Inorganics will probably be sediment at some point.

I find it really interesting that almost all of the recent comments on the YouTube video are 95% the same and praising "how great all this transparency" is, completely drowning out all other comments. They're also worded very very similarly.

They're both code/text editors, or what would you call VSCode instead? An IDE? you can make an IDE out of nvim if you want.

Yes, there is a vim mode in VSCode, but in some cases it can be very slow (like editing a few thousand columns at once), and is not as tightly integrated.

1 kW is 3412 BTU/h (=BTUs)

Most induction stovetops have a boost function with around 3-4 kW (that's about 13000 BTUs).

BUT contrary to a gas stove top, almost all of the energy is actually put into the pot instead of the surroundings (only 30-40% of the energy from a gas stove is used to heat the pot). Meaning that a 4 kW induction cooktop should be comparable to a 40'000 BTUs gas stove (single burner).

Most nvim users I know have their setup very much customized. That takes time, effort and is a pita. But afterwards you have a tool that just works like you want it to work, and is super fast (at least compared to VSCode).

you can change that if it bothers you
