If we add a few more degrees of heat to this mix but don’t get rid of the hail, I’m genuinely gonna start running out of ideas for how to actually dress in this weather

We hope

There can only be one defender in these parts

Nah I use both pretty regularly and I’m fairly sure macOS still makes you do the “nope sorry, press ok, go into system settings, security panel, become admin and click trust this unknown publisher” thing

Windows still just does the same safescreen thing they’ve been doing for ages now: “windows stopped this unknown thing from running, wanna run it anyway?”

Kinda hate that my reaction to new cli tool projects is no longer something like “Huh that’s cool” but rather “oh, someone wants an AI to run their social life now?”

Unless this was post COVID, you were working with a vastly different economy than the people of today.

I read an article a few months ago that two people out of university into average graduate jobs and renting in my (non capital) city, would not likely be able to afford to rent a flat together and have enough remaining for bills and food, let alone any discretionary spending, based on prices at the time. If they offset that by living away from the city and similarly priced suburbs, the costs just shift to transportation costs (fewer and fewer are offering fully remote jobs now). This is all while allowing for zero expenditure towards hobbies and social life, which are things that are pretty well understood to lead to mental health problems when we can’t prioritise them.

Many people don’t have the luxury of any garden space, let alone some with enough sun to actually grow anything. Those same people might also not have the luxury of a car to be able to drive to the big supermarkets with the best prices and bring back a big shop, so they’re pushed towards the more expensive local supermarkets. IIRC people in that situation typically have to spend something crazy like 20-25% more on food than someone who has the means to go to a big supermarket regularly.

From everything I’m seeing, unless you’re lucky enough to end up in a well paid job, saving money is very much a luxury for people younger than us.

One portion is two slices right?

I don’t even think my toaster works evenly if you use the one slot

Honestly

Part of me thinks this is a clever troll to leave it out

UK/EU has had contactless payments via our bank cards for about 2 decades now. America caught up eventually some years later

When phones got the ability to act as our bank cards, it made sense for them to use something compatible with the same technology that was already deployed

Funnily enough, America (and I guess also Korea, given the companies) dragging their heels on standard contactless is one of the main reasons why Samsung/LG briefly put out a couple of generations of phones that had a magnetic stripe mimicking payment feature in addition to standard NFC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_secure_transmission)

Get knocked out in Tesco again?

Jazz FM for the morning coffee, BBC 6 music when making dinner

Salt and pepper usually, the nutmeg not so much actually, but I pretty much only make it when I’m making a lasagne or as a step on the way to cheese sauce.

What’s your best dish where it’s the star?

I’ve gotta be honest I somehow missed the entire context added to the body, but OP gave a good answer anyway

Neither is a problem, leftover cheese will just get eaten as a snack if it’s not enough to keep until I go to the shop next (I usually go every other day for something since it’s a 2 min walk)

Leftover bread just becomes a piece of toast with some butter (I basically always have it in, and get the replacement before I totally run out). Tbh with a coffee that’s just my normal breakfast some days anyway

Probably as a learning exercise so they know what developing and shipping for that platform is like.

Given they’re currently building a similar product, makes sense to see what the competition is up to

Bechamel is kinda mid without something else going on

You had me wondering so I looked it up

I dropped a zero, it’s 500MB (and may be a bit bigger now perhaps)

Google pixel phones have automatic offline music recognition where the database is something like 50MB IIRC and it’s pretty good unless I’m listening to something particularly niche

I assume you could build a similar database if you had the source material to do so.

You’re potentially gonna have an issue with games that have dynamic soundtracks that aren’t exactly the same every time (think in an action game how the music changes based on if fighting or something)

Data centres notoriously don’t have heads, but I love the enthusiasm
