The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

Chocolate soda needs to make a comeback.

What does that taste like anyways?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Delicious. Canfield chocolate fudge soda was bliss.

Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that'a slowly filling with water.

Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn't mean they should take them as bright as they can go.

Allow me to try and persuade you. The problem is bright blue LEDs. It's still stupid that they make them so bright, but the problem isn't the color. A hypothetical bright red, green, or amber LED would also be a problem.

This is fair. I have had to put tape over a red alarm clock because it was too bright before. Those manufacturers also get the oubliette

Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That's why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.
