Well sorry no, because already the torso to leg length ratio is covered by none of their question. (and yes, they list it as a limitation)

Thanks, but where did you actually find the new model? The newest one seems to be 11 months old, from Apr 15, 2025.

Interesting to read, thank you very much. Are you still eating ketogenic? The bacillus subtilis seems to metabolize glucose, so are yours still alive? And did you try other probiotica beforehand? I am having HIT and eating a mostly carnivore diet with mostly fresh/unfermented meat.

This is about the APL language.

std::iota is influenced by APL, see Notes in https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/iota.html

Sorry but no, the parent commenters looked for a global menu within an application (File -> Open, File -> Save, etc.)

by the way, on macOS the global menu is searchable, too. Shortcut is Command+Shift+/

On iOS, the grey scale filter can also be activated via triple clicking the power button:

It is the “zoom”, in which you can have 1.0 scale and add a color filter.

I like the combined grayscale and color inversion filter.

The triple click zoom is activated in Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut: https://support.apple.com/111771

The scale can be set by activating the zoom controller once, zooming out, and then hiding it.

Hint: go for low carb, see for example Lily Nichols on that subject. Her book is called “Real Food for Gestational Diabetes”.

Indeed, but I guess that the seller got compensated anyways for the extra two hours of delayed arrival.

This is great to hear.

Is there a similar free way for getting Windows signatures?

Specifically w.r.t to advertising: In socialist contries there is often only one single brand of a certain product. This removes the need for advertising. But without competition, productivity goes south with time.

New comment by xenonite in "Apple Debuts iPhone 17"

xenonite — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 19:24:13 +0000

Camera lens angles of the 17 Pro seem strange to me.

Either too wide (1x) or too narrow (4x), as seen in the live stream video, which was recorded with the iPhone 17 Pro.

I am currently on the 13 Pro, I find the 3x mode ideal for portrait photos and videos.

Is it only me with this impression? Could someone help me to jump back into Apple's reality distortion field?

Removing the seasoning from a McDonald’s burger is only possible with human contact afaik. So no, not any customization is possible.

What about setting a white background, which yields a white menubar?

A color logo might be added with an overlay app – or you reminisce a black&white screen.

Why should she need sugar to walk? It is perfectly viable to let the muscles burn ketones instead. There is no need to eat carbs (unless there is a problem in the fat digestion system etc.)

While live rendering is nice, I suppose that generating static SVGs that are embedded in a static webpage generator are more fruitful for the typical case. A quick search yielded this: https://polbarrachina.com/2022/05/23/latex-and-tikz-in-jekyl...

Also I suppose that Z authors might have more publications because they are nice to collaborate with.

Yes indeed I can choose to avoid it at the individual level. Then I at least don’t want to be forced toxic water upon me.

sorry I was not joking. If flouride (also in toothpaste) would be enough to stop the typical tooth decay with the current habits of eating sugar, soda etc., well then fine.

But it is not enough. However I believe that stopping sugar, soda, bread etc. would be enough. In that case, the fluoride neurotoxin would not be necessary anymore.
