There’s a solar farm type that is literally that. Thousands of mirrors focussed onto one photovoltaic cell.

Honestly I’d be fine with them under filling the soda. I just don’t want my drink cold, but also yeah. The ice chute is nearly impossible to clean, so it doesn’t get clean.

China, Mom is the sky

There are already seats you can buy that just strap to the back of your legs, just search up “wearable chair”

The future’s now!

I mean… If we’re talking about changing spelling due to pronunciation, there are other words much more fitting. Enough, women, ambition, etc. That’s how we get things like the Ghoti spelling of “Fish.” Or, for a Minecraft reference, ghoughpteighbteau instead of potato.

Language is weird, and it’s hard to map spelling to sound 1:1, especially over time

I mean, the middle east has the “At least 45 million people killed over oil” card, along with a whole lot of other shit that’s happened there. Not trying to downplay the bombings, but the middle east has been getting fucked with for a loooooong time.

No clue why Japan gets a pass on it. Although I do remember reading an article that said (I think) the UN was pressuring Japan to make some changes to their laws around pornography

Yeah, CDLs are a whole different ballgame. I know someone who was a trucker, and they flat out told me that in car accidents you’re at fault until proven otherwise. Not sure if that’s true, but it wouldn’t surprise me given how many dashcams are in semis

There are a handful of reasons it might happen, most aren’t a want though.

• Cheaper to get an ID in most placed
• If you can’t drive anyway might as well save the cash
• Sometimes your doctor will request the DMV revoke your license permanently
• If you’re a teen your parents may make you ~to save money on their insurance~ as a punishment. Fun fact: Your insurance will likely still charge you for them if you do that!

It’s pretty rare that someone surrenders their license willingly, though, because in a lot of places to get it back after surrender, you need to go through the whole process again.

Alternatively if you call them with the ! it becomes bang, which you will most certainly not do.

How would one even bang a showerthoughts

Aside the lack of content, I can’t tell what’s actually wrong with it

Not anymore, but when collars were first added to clothing it was for comfort. It was in the mid 1400s, and clergy wore really stiff tunics with high necks, so they started wearing collared shirts underneath them for comfort. Shirts were also exclusively undergarments at the time.

After those came the big ruffly Elizabethan collars for wealth/status symbols, then detachable collars (shirts were still underwear!), and then WWI happened, and soldiers were issued soft shirts instead of stiff outer clothes as outerwear since it was more practical. That then leads us to the collared shirts of today because that preference came to civilian life from the war.

This, though if you start it start kinda slow. 1tbsp per day for a week, up it to 2, then 3. I tried starting at 3 and it had some wild symptoms (most people just get gassy/bloated though)

Honestly I assumed it was the people you’d share your bomb shelter with for a while.

Two word horror story: Webdings mono

I was gonna make a comment about how it’s only base 60 up to a certain point because I was going to make a comment about how it’s only base 60 math, but since you can only go up to 99 minutes, it is just base 60 math but formatted in base 10 because fuck us I guess.

Whoever invented how we measure time was an asshole

Given how they eat now, probably olive oil mixed with herbs. Hell they still eat that, and it’s delicious tbh

I switched off of KDE, and now I miss being able to do it

“Hackers have unredacted the Epstein files!”

The hacking: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, click into open word document, Ctrl+V

Honestly mouse cursor customization is the one thing I miss from KDE, I love having goofy animations as my cursor

If only Waze weren’t owned by Google… I saw they had that function. Wonder if you can do that with OSMAnd…
