Used to live in an earthquake zone right in front of the ocean, so tsunamis were always a risk.
So I kept a bug off bag with water, clothes, blanket, cereal bars, lights and a battery pack ready to go by my bike.
I did use it once and skipped all over the traffic going to the shelter. Fortunately the water didn’t rise enough to be a threat, but I thanks to the peace of mind the bag brought, I didn’t even stress during the evacuation
As a non American who has never been to the US, but grew up well within its sphere of cultural influence.
I thought that about half of the population was black, maybe 40% minimum. I was surprised to learn that it was just above 10% in reality.
they still own the twitter trademark, that might be their biggest asset
sir, this is /r/lewronggeneration
I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.
I also had two friends in the same bank to validate
a previous bank used to have a max password length of 8 characters, then proudly announced that they will increase it to 32
Then I made a typo at the end of my password and it let me in anyway, and I realised they were just trimming the first 8 characters to give the illusion of security
I watched Event Horizon when I was 10 not knowing it was an horror movie and I had recurring nightmares for weeks
I absolutely agree with you. My former flatmate didn’t like to use the dishwasher because according to her, it wouldn’t clean the dishes properly. Yet she would load the dishwasher by stacking the plates horizontally… as you would store them in a cupboard
no no no, that was just Apple being brave /s
not only that, heaps of cultures associate birds with rumours and news (a little bird told me that …). I was genius marketing and top tier branding
Not a younger person, but last concert I attended, the artist was selling bandcamp codes for their albums (I got two for €5 each). On top of that CDs and vinyls, each would include a bandcamp code too, so I assume people without CD players or turntables can get the physical item and still enjoy the music digitally
Once I had a mission critical service crash because the disk got full, turns out there was a typo on the logrotate config and as a result the logs were not being cleaned up at all.
edit: I should add that I used the commands shared in this post to free up space and bring the service back up
That’s exactly the point I don’t get. Every single mouse I owned, I’ve replaced it because something physically broke. My previous mouse (Logi btw) was replaced because the scroll wheel and middle click stopped working, no software or firmware update would amend that!
everyday I’m thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It’s the only thing stopping him
indeed, gaming is becoming more of an “older” people hobby mostly because kids nowadays get bombarded with micro transactions and pay to win mechanics that don’t really engage them as a target audience.
Once I attended a reto game convention and meet a kid who was like 14 or 15 who was really into retro games, mostly because those games didn’t nag them with live services and bullshit as such. It really shifted my perspective about modern AAA gaming.
PS: by retro he meant the PS2 era
that’s my 6th favourite thing about Italy
previous city I lived in, increased the speed limit of one of its main roads from 50 to 70, yet it was faster to bike due to the massive traffic jams
and NightJet by ÖBB, different routes, but a lot better IMO
corrected, thanks
I think the narration was great, the children just appear at the very beginning of the book
