History is a circle.
First we had bicycles. These then got helper motors. Then we got motorcycles and the two stroke engines had helper pedals to start. Then the pedals were removed.
Now we still have bicycles. These then got electric helper motors. Then we got electric bikes, that still have pedals, but people hack them to run entirely on the motor.
Make up your minds already. Everyone of these changes upsets the elderly.
I like the idea, but unfortunately most PCs don’t boot from USB out of the box. It requires a few easy steps, but this might just be enough for a lot of people not to try it.
Just like many other good distros, Friends ended when the larger one ate the smaller ones.
That song was written in 1963 in New York.
Go to the small concert venues and see them play.
Look at a population pyramid.
This site has done nice animated options: https://chartingtheglobe.com/demographics/population-pyramid
If you want to see more regional overviews, then the CIA also has some nice selections here:

The main issue is that the population is getting older. Not enough new borns to pay taxes to care for the old people in twenty years. This can only be solved by immigration from countries with higher birthrates.
I wish it was just a website. You can’t even download Android Studio or any other starter package without being forced into some kind of AI bloated IDE just to write “hello world”.
On every single skateboard post or short video, somebody will mention Mullen too.
But anyway, outside of skateboarding, millennials also know of Bam, Sheckler and maybe Dyrdek.
Gen-z probably knows of the YouTubers that show up in their feeds. SkateIQ (Mitchie Brusco), SkateNomad (Mike Boisvert) and probably Andy Anderson because he’s everywhere.
I think it’s safe to say that skateboarding isn’t as mainstream as it used to be when MTV was the main youth cultural feed, but it also allows for a lot more unknown people to rise up. Nobody cares about what young dude Thrasher and the industry wants to portrait as a professional. The skate scene these days basically consists of old men and young women watching footage on YouTube.
“Nippon” isn’t hard to pronounce for Germans, either.
I don’t know about that. Even if Germans are not shy of pronouncing letters wrongly (using V as F for instance), the P in Nippon makes no sense in German. It would have to be spelled with an H to make the right sound.
It’s the same grid as most of Europe. AC 3 phases 50 hz 230/400 V.
Other places can do the same, but it’s a legal issue rather than technical. It’s difficult to tax.
I was surprised when I read about it too, but it’s true, they quite literally just plug them right into the normal plugs.
It works because there’s a certain tolerance on the German breakers that allow for power to reverse. The balcony panels take advantage of this. However this also limits the possible output to whatever the tolerance is, otherwise it would overload and shut off or worse.
Can they make it stop too? Not taking any chances on this.
EU has an allow system, which is the reason the CyberTrucks is not on the EU market. It would not be able to pass the safety requirements if they attempted.
On a similar note, the EU also has an allow system for all vehicles already on the road. Every single vehicle is inspected every two years, with the first check for new cars being after 4 years. This system keeps older rusty cars away from the roads.
Tesla’s other models have an issue passing even the first test. It’s the brand with the highest failing rate of all car brands.
They also used the classic they knew what they were doing shortcut.
The whole explanation about screen size is telling.
The entire point of Windows being named Windows is that apps can run inside these resizable rectangles nicknamed windows.
Yet the rectangular taskbar is apparently impossible to handle…
It’s impossible to earn that much money, but at some point it’s also impossible to hold or spend. Banks can only take so much safely, so it needs to be placed in companies and investments that require some management and all the consequences and responsibility of running those. Spending it is problematic because it will disrupt whatever market it is injected to, potentially harming a lot of people.
The only real solution is to avoid billionaires in the first place by taxing corporations much much harder.
Based on your description I’m going to take a wild guess: Your father is a “functioning addict”.
It explains everything, including his self destructive behavior.
Cool…how can I get it?
They too should suffer my endless search history for obscurities. I want them to download all of my USB storage of virus infected malware. I will sit idly and tap my fingertips against each other while my SMS messages corrupt their society from within.
I think it’s the lack of a shared vocabulary.
Everyone likes some music better than other music, and so everyone think they can tell the difference between good and bad music. However, nobody can explain the difference in plain words.
This easily leads to the conclusion that it is fully subjective, and this is where the ignorance comes from. If nobody can explain what good music is, then my own voodoo explanation is as good as any.
However, we can talk about music theory, audio production and sound analysis in scientific terms to the point where we can even reproduce certain sounds based on the description. But we can’t really understand the description without actually experiencing the sound.
It’s similar to somebody saying “I don’t like this cake” or someone saying “my taste receptors react to the umami in this cake”, but I still wouldn’t have a clue about how the cake tastes.
Sound is also different from other sciences in that there is very little proof of one thing being more correct than others. And that goal changes constantly. Whenever somebody does crack the code to what people enjoy, it’ll get boring really quick.
I had a music teacher long ago who said that there is no bad music, only wrong audiences. His point was that the music that makes it through to the recording and publishing will already have passed the filter where someone made a decision if there is an audience for it. If you hear bad music, then you’re just not the right audience.
Anyway, cables. Who cares. The end result is the most important part. However, I’d prefer to hook up the instruments on stage with thick cables instead of bananas. Same thing applies at home. Any wire will do, but cheap wires do break.
