This is cool. I had no idea about most of these.

It costs ~$150 to build your own CO2 carbonation setup. After that, refills are pretty infrequent at ~$10. That gets you relatively unlimited sparkling water.

If you're jonesing for specific flavors, flavor powders, extracts, and raw sucralose in bulk on Amazon will run you around $20, or ~$100 total for a decent assortment. It'll pay for itself in like a year and the powders will last you awhile.

Depends on how you learn, and what the material is. Stuff that worked for me, in no particular order:

• Write a cheat sheet for exams, even if you can't actually use it in the exam
• Start homework the day the lecture that covers the material is given in class.
• Try to explain the subject out loud to someone else (real or imaginary). Anywhere you draw a blank when talking is something you need to refresh on. Repeat this until you get it right.
• For memorization - heavy topics, build an Anki flashcard deck

All of these techniques are variations on the fact that people learn by repeated exposure. the closer together the initial repetitions are, the higher the retention.

Storage data structures. Database tables are designed for fast read/write. Excel is designed for fast simultaneous parallel computation.

To get a sense of what this looks like, you can read more about their data structures; Databases typically store data in what's called a "B Tree" and spreadsheets typically store as a format that can be easily converted into a "Directed Acyclic Graph" (although Excel lets you turn off the "acyclic" part if you allow circular references).

Although, with Excel specifically, there's probably not much difference since it has some database functionality now.

With non-wifi devices I can be certain I won't be bamboozled into buying something cloud-only

Shame, because on its face, I thought it was a really interesting technology that solved an underlying infrastructure problem in the fediverse's makeup.

Railbound is a fun one

ADHD memes apply to everyone sometimes, but you might have ADHD if they start to describe reasons why your life is going poorly rather than funny relatable behaviors that people do.

It's free in the US, so there's ~360 million potential users they decided to make things harder for

Ironic because this is the second time I've seen this image posted

They used to allow their client to be used to send unsecured SMS. Then they stopped. Whatever they thought they were doing, they killed the simplest path to onboarding laypeople they had. I kinda gave up on signal after that.

I chose this one because it had the piracy community

GFCI doesn't protect against voltage surges

Breakers prevent over-current from damaging things.

Surge protectors prevent surges in voltage.

I had to refund armored core 6 because the first boss fight stuttered so much. I have a 3080, so not the best but definitely no slouch. No matter what settings I tweaked, it'd always drop to slideshow performance for 1-2 seconds at a time. Acceptable in a cheaper title, maybe, but not on a full price game.

Yeah this is what the larger chemical plants and oil refineries do on the Gulf coast- they have their own generation units.

I'm a pachycephalosaurus guy myself.

The simple existence of XY females (Swyer syndrome, 1 in 100,000 females) and XX males (de la Chapelle syndrome, 1 in 20,000 males) makes this binary declaration imperfect.

Cool, now provide solutions that exist today for every other country
