76 million, which is not 100s.

Also unironically yes - the time for being polite has passed. Braindead people should be labelled as such in public forums.

Imagine the cost of changing the entire road network over to use metric.

Here's a zero-cost plan to migrate the road network over to metric: have a transition period where signs may be shown in either unit, then require all replacement signs to be shown as metric. Since all signs must eventually be replaced, over a long enough period of time the whole network will become metric without any marginal cost increase.

The only downside is that for a time, people have to understand both units and how they relate to each other.

As a counterpoint, I've bought loads of really good cycling accessories from AliExpress. It's not impossible to buy high-quality things from China - this is after all where a large part of everything is manufactured these days - you just have to be careful not to fall for the offers that are just obviously too good to be true.

Uncapped overtime excuses bad management. I get why they're pissed, this puts a spotlight on how bad they are at management.

~~Is it really valid to call permalink() in that context, since it requires &self? There's no self in that context afaik. Can't test it now but it looks suspicious~~

EDIT: Invalid since the comment was updated

Stopping your finger from bleeding by cutting off the entire arm is not a particularly good plan.

Sure, inflation is down, but the absolute condition for the average argentinian is not strictly speaking great.

It's clear that some form of change to stop the runaway inflation was needed, but this was not the way to go

I think that would be against the terms of the policy for the types of insurance you can get here in Sweden, so basically another level of fraud. But yeah, that makes sense, you could double/triple-dip and get ahead that way.

Good, and guaranteed to be rolled back once Trump takes office.

I guess you'd still have a scratched car at that point, though. Maybe you need to combine it with a dishonest repair shop massively inflating the bill, along with an insurance company that doesn't pay enough attention.

I'm struggling to see how this scam is actually supposed to work - if your car sustains damage, wouldn't your insurance just cover the cost to repair that damage, meaning you are just back at square one?

Layers - get a good base layer, merino wool is the gold standard for these. You also want to get a neck gaiter, plus some merino wool socks, and some kind of cap. These will keep you warm and dry throughout most cold weather. Add more layers on top when outside, and remember to remove layers proactively if you feel yourself starting to sweat - it's never a good idea to be wet in cold weather. The base layer will make physical exertion a pretty hot affair quite fast, so you'd be surprised how fast the sweat starts pouring.

Gotta make use of that Force Majeure-clause

 

Context: I have a Chromecast with Google TV today that I'm quite happy with, after having heavily customized the thing. However, it's only 1080, and I recently got a 4k TV and would like to be able to get the full mileage out of it.

Now that Google are sunsetting the Chromecast series, is it a bad idea to pick up a 4k Chromecast, or should I just wait for the new device to drop? It seems a bit pricier and I'm not sure if there are any features I should necessarily wait for.

My use-case is basically watching YouTube/Nebula/Netflix/Jellyfin.

 

I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.
