You could also try Jingle bells, even though it’s not quite as elegant.

Do you think they might have expectations? If so, be considerate. If not, skip the announcement part and just go without saying a word.

Example: There’s a family gathering, and you’re expecting to have lunch within the next 30 minutes. Everyone expects you to be there in the same table. If you need to go put out a fire of some sort, you’ll just say that you need to take care of something urgent and you’ll be back within the same day.

Let’s say your cousin crashed their car on a tree, and you need to pull it back on the road with a tractor. It’s going to take a few hours to do it, so you’ll just grab a sandwich and some apple juice before you go. Let everyone know that it’s going to take a while.

If it’s a shorter thing, like getting some more milk from the local supermarket, there’s no need to announce anything. Just go, get some stuff done, and come back in time for lunch.

Try to maintain a safe distance of at least 30 m at all times. If you’re stuck with her in the same room, ask lots of work related questions and keep the conversation strictly professional. Dry work stuff only. The more boring the better. As soon as the conversation is about to go off the rails, steer it back.

Just like everyone else: APIcalypse and enshittification of Reddit.

I think the real question is: Why a social news aggregation content rating forum instead of any other type of social media?

If I cared about people, I would be spending my time on Mastodon. Since I care more about specific topics, I’m here on Lemmy instead. IMO, the structure of conversations is also much nicer and more readable here on Lemmy.

Thanks for the answer. 👍

It was originally sea water, but a few billion years go it went bad. After that, it’s been just as bad as the day it crystalized. Fortunately though, you can fix that very easily. Just add water.

Cyber attacks and hybrid attacks have already occurred, and the risk of a full blown invasion increases. Should I be worried? Maybe I should ask Ukrainians how they’re handling these troubling times.

So, what’s on your mind these days? Talking about it might help.

Currently it’s at 2:48, but I’m planning to double that by watching a bunch of videos before bedtime.

Are there other ways I could violate the recommendations?

I thought enjoying it was as common as being able to breathe air or drink water. Apparently not. Maybe there are lots of people like this, and we never knew.

Have you considered making an AMA? There are so many questions already brewing.

Sounds truly exceptional. Other people don’t consider it uncomfortable at all.

That seems like a fair way to fund game development. I wish more companies chose this path.

How about lootboxes, battle passes and other predatory tactics used in many modern games? Sure, you can have those elements for those people who like them, but if your entire game is all about psychological manipulation tools, you’ve gone too far. Maybe some people like to roll the dice every now and then, but that shouldn’t be the main point of the game. You should also be given an option to enjoy the game without being exposed to extreme levels of toxic design.

Nice. USB PPS sounds pretty sweet. I better look into that.

Laughter is also highly contagious, so you better watch out. There have been reports of entire office floors and classrooms succumbing to uncontrollable fits of giggles, causing productivity rates to plummet. In some cases, the laughter epidemic has spread across neighborhoods, turning typically stoic morning commutes into a cacophony of chuckles and snorts. Health authorities are advising to limit exposure to particularly humorous individuals and to steer clear of gatherings where a particularly irrisponsible individual stands on stage aiming to infect everyone in the audience with a severe case of laughter.

However, there is once case, where the extremes are bad, and hitting the sweet spot is good: temperature.

For example, this graph shows that charging in very cold and very hot will kill your battery faster. If you stay in the middle, you’ll get the maximum number of cycles possible before the battery eventually dies.

Those C-values are the charging rate. 1 C = normal, 2 C = very fast 3 C = crazy fast.

Are you saying that when the charger handles the conversions, it will also produce waste heat in the process? If so, the total amount of energy lost due to conversions should stay the same, but the physical location where the heat is generated is different. That would be pretty nice for the battery longevity.

Oh, absolutely! If you find that a particular FOSS project deserves your money, you really should donate.

I’ve found that LLMs can help you with refining incoherent ramblings into understandable questions. Even if you don’t know what words to use or how to ask something, it still somehow works anyway.

Just try dumping a wall of text on an LLM of your choice, and see what happens. You may need to have a proper conversation with the LLM to get what you’re really after, so don’t expect the first answer to be the final one.
