You also have one piece of cutlery that you hate and you don't know where it came from. You don't get rid of it though. You'd sooner do the washing up while starving than use that stupid slightly wider fork, but it stays in the draw just in case.

I feel like back in the day trolling was more of an art where you'd say something stupid to expose someone's cognitive dissonance.

Now it just refers to people being dicks. Trolling itself has become enshittified.

This is actually pretty interesting. I wish I could pin someone else's comment. Thanks.

That would still be two layers. Although folding all the corners would allow four fold to equal two.

.ml vs .world fights are always hilarious. And for that reason, they should stay federated.

But that would be two folds, and arguably two layers if the area of the middle section is bigger than the outer sections added together.

In most official settings height and weight are measured in metric.

Imperial sort of sticks around culturally because people's measurements are meaningless unless they're relative and you pick that frame of reference up from your family. Nobody can imagine what a 100kg man looks like, but they can imagine a 16 stone man.

Wouldn't the neighbours house already being on fire be considered a pre existing condition?

What's even more annoying is when their refinements end up putting an objectively wrong answer as the authoritative record.

I found a question where someone new to electronics was how to get more current from a USB power supply.

The "correct" answer that was posted before the question was closed was that a source can't limit current and the questioner should learn more about electricity.

The actual correct answer - and probably what the questioner was looking for - is to short the data lines together because a compliant USB charger will only supply 500mA by default, not it's stated max current.

Check the whole path of the filament, or maybe rotate the part before printing. Sometimes a combination of factors can cause just enough friction to under-extrude in just parts of a print. I sometimes get it when the filament roll rubs on the holder. This looks like it could be that it's doing a fast bit while twisting the Bowden tube.

Presumably they'll roll back their censorship of Palestinian journalists now they love free speech so much.

I had a GV1600 which is pretty close cousin of this. The front is big but there's not much space for passengers or luggage but I could use it as a tiny pickup truck. I miss that car.

Had to get rid because it kept making me to do stupid things. I ripped the exhaust off three times because it kept telling me to go down green lanes at a million miles per hour.
