  • Huh, never heard of the adhesive type. I've used the static/water ones for ~4 years without any issues

  • no, I mean, got any recommendations for drinking slowly

  • wait really? and isn't that always the case with any window?

  • Pretty easy to cut, but of course it'll never be perfect, and it's better to cut smaller than larger since it sticks to the window using water, and needs a complete seal, so any corners that overlap a frame will just slowly force the whole thing to peel off.

    Very easy to re-use, it sticks using water and requires a flat piece of card (e.g. an old credit card) to spread it out over the window

  • One way window heat shield. Reflects 85โ€ฐ of the UV back out. Sticks to the window using only water.

    Noticeable difference in temperature for any sun-facing windows

  • I dont understand how people eat with metal or plastic chopsticks. Wood? Sure, it practically holds itself

  • The locust squats upon the leaf, he's just bidin' his time...

  • For conversations I need to have, I rehearse in my head and mutter quips to myself to prepare myself for all contingencies.

    This isn't so I will say these words to the person, but more that I'm convincing myself and arming my mouth when my brain wanders off as it is wont to do.

    On the actual day, I drink a soothing tea and don't say anything unless the uncomfortable topic is brought up. If people clock onto my calm confidence, they usually don't instigate.

    I've learned from early on that people prey only on those they perceive weak, but to pre-emptively strike is to invite ruin. So I prepare and stay quiet.

    Beer would ruin that planning as I am a lightweight

  • The spiders are not insects, but in a war they would side with the insects.

  • My brother and I discovered the new Gulliver...

  • And what about the Dillos who don't want to be armed?

  • woah, new account to block - thanks for the warning

  • sounds like a real asshole, I hope he at least pays your rent

  • Better than my asshole roommate who constantly leaves his clothes on the floor and dishes unwashed in the sink.

    Full disclosure: I live alone

  • he said 1000miles.

    The US cant be compared to Germany. Based on size, population, and biome variation, the US can only be compared to Europe

  • Right on the motorway, didnt sleep when I was there, preferred to sleep under my desk at work.

  • Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

    Sourced from comments in thread (English from image, Dutch from !Vinny_93@lemmy.world, German from !TJA@sh.itjust.works , Turkish from some rando, Chinese from !idealotus@lemmy.world, Lexicographical from !monogram@feddit.nl)

    Plot with Correlation Scores

    We will compute the pearson correlation (r-statistic) score by comparing the base number (column 1) with the corresponding language column. We will also compute the Serial correlation, by creating staggered columns that measure how close a number is in a sequence to the one before it.

    It looks like Dutch has the lowest (near 0) correlation to both the base sequence and it's own staggered sequence, with Turkish mirroring it's staggered randomness somewhat.

    The least random alphabetic sequences are English and German.


    Updated: Added chinese and staggered analysis.
