I too have to ask: backwards? A doc does X ray every day, you get ONE.

Is that so? How does the propellant matter?

So you were too straight and too gay… According to others. Did that change how you actually felt? Did you change your sexuality?

Can you elaborate? I do not get it.

1000 years? No written word last time? Mate, they did that several 1000 years ago. We have stuff from Ancient Egypt from 5000 years ago.

You could also count earth’s gravitational field, then nobody ever left it.

Ah, got it. So you need WiFi if you want to reliably turn off GPS, that is a good solution.

How to tell when you leave the GPS-off area?

But a plane is not “on earth”?

We are not state actors.

It has to be convenient and (user) error proof. NFC can do that, like… any other 1st world country has in its ID card.

Everyone could always learn woodworking, weaving, sewing, smithing, … that is not an argument. The point is that better tools make it easier to learn/perform/perfect these skills. Today anyone with a little torch and a hammer can play around with steel. 300 years ago you had to at least take on an apprenticeship to ever get to do that. Sewing with a sewing machine is so much faster, there is not much time to invest before you can make your own clothes.

Not everyone has 100s of hours free time to sink into this and that skill “the purist way”. Any tool that makes the learning curve more shallow and/or the process itself easier/cheaper/… helps democratizing these things.

You argue as if everyone needs to be a super duper software architect, while most people just want to create some tool or game or whatever they think of, just for themselves.

Google it for the specific device you have, especially how to open it.

Resetting the BIOS involves removing the internal CR2032 battery. Not a charged (main) battery.

Okay, heard of that one before. But even knowing that, I still don’t get what it has to do with CERN, nor eating ass.

I don’t get it :(

Last time this happened to me, more or less, I was trying to find the original source of some commonly (in the field) understood thing. After digging deeper and deeper I came out at Einstein or some similar physicist from the early 19 hundredths. That was wild and unexpected, as it was decades earlier than what I expected. The experiments they did to get us here is amazing.

“far” less, like 1.999 or something.

Ffs that guy is annoying. Did not even do the math, which should have told him that hypersonic does not even scratch the surface unless he has an extremely wide drop-off region.

So 10 have the same product, then what? Race to the bottom again? What about key details that are not easy to see but can be important? Amazon really is shit in this regard already, but randomly mixing shops will only be worse.
