In Nepal, my parents always warned me before eating at some rest stops because they said the food was doctored with baking soda to make you feel fuller, guess it was true after all and not just an urban legend heh.

Can apps detect whether the advanced flow for sideloading is enabled or not?

Why'd the battery be related to the keyboard issue?

That looks neat although your package is missing a link to the source repository.

If you don't have the original executable on hand:

localStorage.setItem('vcsky.haveOriginalGame', "true")

I haven't checked further than the third mission

Calling someone an asshole, or calling them a racist if they seem to discriminate you based on your race, saying a restaurant isn't good etc. can very easily get you sued in Germany.

I think the breadth vs depth thing applies here as well, the PhD will know more about the topic they're researching of course.

Heh, if so, I wonder if there is a correlation between social anxiety and babies who relied on formula instead of breastfeeding.

For groceries at least, the time cost + fuel cost of buying from different stores would probably cancel out any minor variations in prices

Why the scare quotes?

I wrote about exactly that in the blog, I tried out some qwertee shirts first and then I made my own designs for fun. And I set up a shop if other people want them.

Usually some commentary or puns on a random relatable life topic, I started with jokes about allergies.

I'll setup a redirect on https://shop.gtmnayan.com when it's ready, still have to figure out logistics.

I'm preparing my t-shirt store for launch soon.

I was having trouble meeting people after moving to a new city so I designed and printed some goofy funny t-shirts for my wardrobe, and that has really helped on getting the ball rolling on conversations.

Hoping to make the launch within the next few weeks.

A friend recently created a discord server to match board game players travelling on the same ICE train (German long distance trains). https://bahn.party

There's a bot that lets you search trains and then creates a channel for the one you select and you meet with others on the same train and play board games or just have a chat.

Feels apt to share in this thread.

Out of curiosity, since you said "In the USA" specifically, is there any tax regime in these times where tax brackets don't work like this?

Same here, you can do better with other brands on the flagships, but the Redmi devices are usually the best in their class (once you flash a custom ROM on it because all the shit about MIUI is true).

698969 — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 10:56:41 +0000

I'm guessing this was from a time when they invoking bun on a script was just an alias to run it with node instead, and you had to do a more specific incantation like `bun run index.ts` to actually use the bun runtime.

When did you use it?
