The town I live in burned down almost completely in 1787, so most historic buildings in the city were built after that. The city wall is probably the oldest structure, but it’s unknown when it was originally built. The oldest building with a known year of construction is most likely the church that was built in 1246.
Yes, fully agree. They make absolutely no sense at all.
Considering that predicting the next word from context is the one thing LLMs are really good at, I just don’t understand how none of these developments have found their way into predictive keyboards.
I’ve actually switched to ThumbKey and while I don’t think I’m faster with it (yet), it’s at least so much less frustrating and that’s worth a lot to me.
Not necessarily. If you have a lot of experience or a different perspective and you seem trustworthy to me, you don’t need to have a good argument. On the other hand, if someone else comes along with a good argument why your opinion is wrong, I will start doubting you.
For example, if you’ve been growing potatoes for 30 years, you don’t have to explain the biochemistry of potatoes for me to respect your advice. And if you’re a black person telling me that our town is terribly racist, I will believe you without needing a list of every single racist incident that happened to you.
I think both torx and pozidriv have their place. Torx for any screw that needs a lot of torque, is in a hard to reach place or for really small screws.
When I have lot of screws in a simple application, like driving them directly into wood, I prefer pozidriv though. Due to the conical profile, the bit just automatically slides in correctly. Also, torx just has way too many different sizes.
Fuck Philips. Pozidriv is so much better.
I’m also a bit heavy and I know the struggle. I use a lot of energy just do prevent popping back up like a cork. I’ve considered using a little bit of lead, but what I like about freediving is not having a bunch of belts and vests and other gear on me. So I’m currently also trying to lose weight.
In the same vein, freediving is easy to learn up to a certain point and safe as long as you don’t hyperventilate and stay away from caves. Most people can learn to dive to 10-15m and look around a bit before they have to resurface. That’s far from breaking any records, but enough to have fun and see some cool stuff that you can’t see from the surface.
Plus, you don’t need any special gear, besides snorkel, mask and fins.
I didn’t fully quit reddit, but I’m going to Lemmy first and foremost and rarely go back to reddit for very specific communities. My reddit usage dropped by 90+% probably, but I’m not completely gone.
I’m sure the same is true for many other users as well, so simply counting the number of (active) users then and now won’t get even close to the actual loss in traffic and participation.
Because if the electricity produced on these vessels was ten times the normal price, it would still be peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
