This one has always bothered me a bit because ....999999 is the same as infinity, so when you're "proving" this, you're doing math using infinity as a real number which we all know it's not.
That's a good point but it's also important to note that a Snickers bar has much less nutritional value than the cheeseburger shown in the original image. So if you're training for a marathon or something, you can totally get away with a cheeseburger every night, but not the equivalent amount of snickers (you will feel like absolute shite)
I see 306 issues and 0 pull requests. That's got to be a bit discouraging as an open source project maintainer - plenty of people filing bug reports but no one that cares enough to help fix the bugs.
Are you a programmer? If so, the code is open source, so you could try fixing it on your own; it doesn't seem that hard to fix. You could try to find where they are handling scroll input and see if there is anything that tells you what direction it is. Then if it's horizontal just ignore it.
That'll never happen, the tobacco industry is too big and too many jobs will be lost all at once, so it becomes highly politicized and loses popular support. With the proposed law, the tobacco industry at least has time to pivot to something else.
I just visited Canada for 4 days, was around a lot of people and I only smelled smoke twice. Both times were outside the airport (once arriving and once departing).
You are exactly right. This whole thread is full of people complaining about the price, but it's perfectly justifiable for this one reason. If you have a significant other then it's actually cheaper to rent than it is to go to the theater. And big screen TVs are commonplace, so the experience is about the same (arguably better since you can pause if you have to go pee, can rewind if you missed something, can be as obnoxious as you want, don't have to commute there, and don't have to deal with sticky floors and overpriced popcorn).
I'm not saying the price is reasonable (it's too high in my opinion) but people need to stop pretending like it makes no sense from a business perspective. It's a no-brainer to the average non-pirating consumer: they are getting something better, for cheaper.
It's distinctly different in this case: they're just trying to prevent people who are turning smoking age from conveniently being able to buy cigarettes. They're not taking away cigarettes from people who can already buy them, which was not the case for prohibition.
It will create a substantial black market, but it won't just do that. It will make it difficult to conveniently buy cigarettes, which will drastically cut down on the number of smokers.
To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is "really fucking cold" and 100 degrees is "really fucking hot." So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as "yeah that's way too fucking hot for a phone."
This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.
I have noticed lately people on the Internet starting sentences more with "Look." Is it just me or is this becoming more of a trend? (Not trying to judge or anything, just wondering if I am going crazy)
You're probably joking but just to save people some time, it does not actually recommend HTMX. (I remembered seeing this website a while back but didn't recall anything about HTMX so had to check.)
