Wow that’s a bit harsh. You can’t think of any examples where you may need to send a string to something but want to do it quickly?

It’s quite easy to not burn yourself. I’ve done a fair bit of soldering and it has only happened like twice to me and it wasn’t that bad

Maybe someone wants to hear from an actual human rather than risk hearing a plausible but potentially incorrect answer from AI

No it’s like a mild pressure on some teeth for maybe a day or two but then doesn’t really feel like much

I mean good for you for being able to eat a breakfast of plain soybeans but even if it extends my life a bit I don’t that I could do it.

Congrats on only needing to do an oil change once per year. I need to do 3-4. I’ve done stuff to make it less annoying but I would still love to get an EV as my next car and not need to.

Transferring from my D7500 has to crash once the fist time every time when transferring over WiFi before it works. They said they knew about the bug like 5 years ago so I don’t think they are working on it.

I have always been told expect an intern to be a net loss in productivity to you and anything else is a bonus since the point is to help them learn.

I would argue though you shouldn’t be messing with treble and bass settings while you are driving.

Yes, I used to live on a peninsula in Quincy and there were coyotes that would run past us on the beach from time to time or be seen walking down the sidewalk or hanging out in the back yard.

25%? That’s so high. Most places in the USA I feel like 18-20% is the norm

I really only use Firefox and I’ve never had an issue with YouTube logged in and I use it a lot.

Free range isn’t that much space still. Pasture raised is better and at my local grocery store I can get a dozen for like $8/dozen.

When you read the fine print you find out that’s for a 2D simulation of a robot arm that isn’t moving. Real world results from coworkers showed it being about 10x slower than Drake in meaningful sims.

I don’t think the person was saying the lion roar traveled through the water and that’s how they heard it.

I also agree they are bad but to simplify anything down to “it’s bad there’s nothing else to learn” seems like a gross oversimplification.

No, it looks quite similar but Queen Anne’s lace doesn’t cause burns. It’s kind of tricky to tell the difference.

I don’t know how you read my mind because completely randomly I was just looking at thermocouples for compost monitoring.
