I am not sure if my memory is mixing with 4D Boxing (!?) but I think if you took too long your pirate would be quite old and weak, or?

On “field trips” where laptop is too much and just the iphone is too little, I have been pairing my ipad with a k380 for the last 200 years and cannot complain much. The only warning I get is that k380 causes some kind of interference with the apple pencil and other bluetooth connected devices. Can’t precise exactly how much though.

the mind boggles what those numbers could actually build (as in actual physical construction) and yet here we are with so much „entertainment“ options we can‘t decide what to watch.

vehicular speed is very important as a consideration in any road curvature, as well as “pitch and yaw” when changing slope and direction at speed, so… simple it is not, and if we are mostly “offsetting” straight lines and arcs, we are doing it wrong

the most profitable pizza, pizza base + one (literally one) piece of minced tomato, yes you read that right, one “nico” of tomato

that pizza will set you back 0 USD because rounding error, the dough is free (if I remember well) and a bit of minced tomato is less than a rounding error, so effectively zero

then you sell the pizza for the lowest price

customers will hate it, but the price is so good

you don’t even need ice cream anymore

yes but maybe it’s still cheaper in DE than the time cost of learning JP

it’s cray cray that in non Schengen foreigners can drive 90 days im Germany with their foreign issued driving license, but natives are subject to insane whims of the driving Schule…
