I've thought the dollar coin should be in more regular circulation, but damn, at what cost.

People have trouble separating actors from their roles. Being mean to Jack Gleeson on the street because they dislike Joffrey Baratheon, etc

This looks more like Anna Faris than Christina Ricci, but I actually think it's neither of them.

You can get a shitty prepaid android phone from Walmart right now for $20.

Does this solution suck? Yes, but it sucks less than having a work app on your personal phone that spies on everything you're doing.

You post this a lot. What's the best question you've gotten?

Chinese is pretty hard for westerners to learn, because the tone you use changes the meaning to a different word. Can anyone comment on whether his pronunciation is any good?

All the reported issues with the 12vhpwr connector make me extremely wary of them. I'm years behind the technology curve, and I'm hoping that this connector gets phased out before I upgrade to a card that has the performance of a 5090.

Less mess, more time for Imgur. What's not to like?

Phew. You know you don't get a prize for setting a high score, right?

We live in a (western) society that says "Honey, that friend is imaginary. It's not real, even though it feels real to you. You'll outgrow your imaginary friend one day". What if you lived in a society where you were told "Hooray! The voice you hear is the local god / household ancestor spirit! They're talking to you now!" You'd be a lot more likely to keep hearing it, and to keep wanting to hear it. Not everyone would, but more people would want to, and more people would pretend to. /2

Sure, but the idea that people think differently isn't controversial. Some people think in words, others in pictures, others in amorphous concepts. Some people can picture things in their mind's eye, others can't. Some people have no issue conceptualizing math problems intuitively, others really struggle with it.

It's not hard to imagine people having a bicameral mind because children do it all the time with imaginary friends. /1

But then the OP would have to be human and not a bot.

I thought you had to pin someone in wrestling? The guy in blue seemed like he was fine and up on his feet? Why did the ref call it?

Thanks. I understood the backrooms reference, had no idea on the girlfriend

#6 Wave power is a great idea until you learn that salt water is incredibly corrosive.
We can make wave generators, but not any yet that make financial sense given their lifespan.

So I can see the second die being dropped from his hand, but I can't figure out where the first die goes. A good trick!

In the meantime, pick one friend in each friend group. Tell them about your problem reading the room. Ask them to send you a signal (DM, hand sign, code word) when you're getting carried away.

That sucks, man. I've had trouble reading the room in the past. There are plenty of times that I wish people would be more direct with their communication. It's not a thing we really teach people, y'know? It's not the culture we have. I hope you can find your tribe in the future, with people who are on your wavelength.

48V is the closest multiple of 12 to the upper limit (50V) for "low voltage" wiring in the US. Higher voltage is better because it means you can run thinner wires for the same wattage. Cheaper to buy, easier to handle, easier to route.

Hey OP, just letting you know your info is out of date. Because of the 2015 Climate agreements, and assuming that countries live up to their agreement (which most are), then we're currently on track for 2.5°C, not 4. Which is by no means great, but it is much better.
