Most companies will be using laser printers, some of which may outlive me. Toner is cheap and lasts an age.

Inkjet printers are cheap for a reason. They’re a scam.

I left my Casio poolside in autumn and found it in spring. It was fine and on time. I’m still using it.

$140 – the Kobo Clara BW (black and white/e-ink) is clutch. Dark mode, plays well with calibre, a wide range of supported formats, and way more storage and battery life than you’ll ever need.

Edit: it is one of the first devices to utilize the E Ink Carta 1300 screen. It’s filled with e-books from Annas Archive loaded by Calibre on Debian and never complained about compatibility.

What car do you see in Germany most often?

I’m still using my 2020 SE that has the same screen size. It’s needed a battery swap last year which set me back $50, but that was installed at the Apple Store.

Apple supports their phones for quite a few years. When they drop support for this phone I’ll be on the new small phone journey myself.

2022 iPhone SE Gen 3 will be the last 4.7 inch screen. Gen 4 is rumored to be a 6.1 inch.

Indiana Jones was named after the dog – George Lucas’s or the Jones’s depending on if you want to go canon or not.

Just how bad they were at science

Operation Paperclip.

“It’s good to see you” is still positive and doesn’t get into detail, so I prefer that.

Can anyone recommend a decent space sim? I’ve talked myself in and out of buying No Man’s Sky a dozen times, and all this shade will probably remove it from my wishlist.

It’s a glorified crawler that is incredibly inefficient. I don’t use it because I’ve been programmed to be picky about my sources and LLMs haven’t.

You’ve gotta strip it first. When my buddy came back from the military he taught me to roll it around in the fingers until the remaining tobacco falls out, then the trash goes into the pocket until a bin is found.

Although, there’s not a class on that at all. I did my fair share of littering as a smoker. I still feel shit about it, which is why I bring my picker upper stick and an empty bucket with me on walks. It comes back full every time. Water bottles everywhere.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were so sensitive” is my response to these types IRL.

They’d be right at home at .ml

the next world war might claim a billion or more

That’s still just 1 out of 8. You’d barely notice.

Edit: Doubling down on the downvotes. Here my proposition – an even split between China, India and the US. That leaves China and India at just over 1B each and the US to 12M, which is fair.
