I have a mouse that can connect to three devices and switch between them at the push of a button on it's underside and for the next three devices bought another mouse. because if I use that many devices, I'm sure not all of them have a usb port for a dongle I wouldn't want to plug around anyway....

Hate that too. At least, I try to get at least 20 gbps-cables with speed and wattsge printed in the plugs. Having usb-c cables that only support 480 mbps is the worst.

but this year has been a turning point for my usb-c usage. Took some usb-a cables (but no power adapter) on a vacation with me and realized that most ports have transitioned to usb-c. Until then, I've had anything in USB-A and had to get an adapter for C, but I find myself in more and more situations where it's the other way round. Imho the tipping point is reached and now it's accelerating. Just had to get a few usb-c to micro-usb, mini-usb and usb-b cables and will keep a few adaptors/hubs, but I've more or less gone all-in in on usb-c - can't get rid of usb-a soon enough.

why it's not possible to assemble those blades on location. It's not like they are made from huge 70m-pieces.

Seems like a stupid clickbait-headline to me. Everybody knows that batteries lose capacity in the cold, especially prospective buyers of EVs know this (it's a major argument among EV-critics). What's the next "crisis"? "The world's EV-Owners discover they need to charge their EVs?"

I guess the weakness in that analogy is that the real coffee table is a different thing than it's plan, whereas software is both the plan and the thing it describes.

Yeah, mindblowing. I had both, the disk drive and the cassette drive - but the latter one took just took ages for those 64kb to load (,1)

but take more chemical drugs instead (kinda understandable, hardly anything is as bad as an alkohol intoxination). Bars aren't allowed to sell chemical drugs, but users drink a lot of water -> make water premium. Obviously, in this case, it's mostly about greedy restaurant owners selling overpriced stuff to people who are so stupid that they buy stuff just because it's overpriced. Imho, if you pay $25 for a bottle of water that has been flown in from Portugal, you should be instantly disposessed. But while there's no cure for stupid, imho this is just one facet of a greater trend.

Still, it gives the old immune system a boost and has other healt-benefits as well. That seems preferable to "hygenic", which in this case seems no more than a word of compulsion.

Nah, it's fun, but you probably wouldn't know. Sure, you can also get that from taking drugs, but why not take both, that's even better.

But, otoh, the only people who said the west coast would be under water by 2012 were climate change deniers who attributed that to the environmentalists to prove their own "the boy who cried wolf"-point. That has been a strawman argument all along..

Yes, but one thing is that we don't have windows that open vertically. So there's no real "window-acs" over here. We do have freestanding acs with a hose, but ones for â150 won't cut it, unless you live in a closet. Useable ones that manage 80m3 start at around â700

It's not as common in private households as in the U.S. and often not that needed. But the increase of heatwaves and the conversion of fossil heating to electical heatpumps has changed that in recent years.

That kind of ruined Wanda Vision for me. They built it up for quite some time, only to descend into boring marvel-movie-punching with no stakes or impact in the last two episodes.

Agreed, it was stupid, formulaic, predictable, shallow, and mostly mediocre at best. I watched it in the cinema and can't even remember a single thing about it, asides from David Harbour and Sebastian Stan being in it. The problem is not "Too many movies", or "Feels like doing homework" (although that contributes at this level of quality) - it's too much mediocre shovelware.
