It’s not correct according to this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bondi-epstein-files-system-collapse/

So seemingly fake news.

No doubt bear spray is effective but there is always a chance the predator does not give a shit and is hungry enough to fight through it.

Do you have any evidence for that, I very much doubt it. For one it’s extremely rare that a (brown/black) bear attacks when they’re hungry. And I doubt there’s even a documented case where it continues to attack after being sprayed in the face. Keep in mind bearspray is pepper-spray on steroids.

So all you have likely done with your gun is kill an otherwise relatively peaceful animal, congratulations…

I’m not too sure on Europe’s hunting history however, a lot Canadians still hunt for meat and resources, it’s tradition to a lot of people and has been rooted into our history.

Although I’m not a big fan of hunting, I think it’s a different situation and it’s also where permits are given - after careful psychological evaluation.

Great tradition hoarding killing tools. I’m really happy I’m not contributing to this “society” of yours (that’s at least with one foot deep into fascism)… USA really managed in no time being a laughing stock to the rest of the world…

Bear spray is very effective, probably more so than a gun, if you shit your pants at least at the sight of a bear (but usually it’s the other way around too).

As a European that just shakes his head about Muricas love for kill tools, you don’t need a gun as average person. For rare cases there are strictly regulated permits. But otherwise I’m very glad that I don’t have to fear being shot by MAGAts. Or have basically no school-shooting etc. I sometimes think you’re stuck in the middle age or wild western or something like that…

And feet. Athlete’s foot is a thing, wearing the same kind of shoes all the time doesn’t help with moisture.

Edit: just read the last three words… Well at least now there’s an explanation why it’s bad for feet.

Yes, and blending in between, including RGB, can enhance the quality of light as well to estimate a natural light source.

There’s various metrics, like CQS, CRI or newer versions of it.

It’s basically about how close the wavelength spectrum is compared to a black-body radiator given a color temperature (e.g. an incandescent lamp or the sun).

Though IME, the light quality of a real white LED is better than the mix of an RGB led. Also interesting: the cooler the LED is the higher the quality of the light.

Honest opinion, I don’t think they would ever be the bad guys, only a dead or non-existent Nazi is a good Nazi.

But I guess the unfortunate thing is that ICE would group together and an actual civil war starts (in which ICE likely has the upper hand, as it gets funded by the government and Nazis are more likely to have firearms I guess), which is probably exactly what the Trump Administration wants, I don’t know it’s a pretty bad situation there…

I’m using a Kaffeelogic Nano 7 sample roaster, which is quite simple to use and produces consistent results. I actually think almost all of my roasts were at least as good as high quality roasts I get locally.

Average Amazon experience these days (stop buying from them, enshitification is strongly progressed there)

That’s an absolute shame, because there’s tons and tons of cool coffee shops absolutely all over the place doing really cool, interesting, imaginative, and downright tasty things with coffee that you’re missing out on.

Maybe not around here (it’s not the biggest city though), I think I tasted every worthwhile coffee in the city so far. Some are ok, but nothing that really stands out. It’s also more meant figuratively (though there’s still some truth… after habituation on good coffee, previously ok-coffee is now bad… so I got really picky over the time of my coffee-nerd-career)

Starbucks coffee isn’t really intended to be enjoyed straight, it’s supposed to be made into milk drinks where the dairy, syrups, and toppings provide most of the flavor, and for that use case, it’s adequate.

Yeah it’s americans perversion of coffee. It’s more like soft-drinks with coffee-taste or something like that…

burnt toxic shit Starbucks sells as “coffee”

Yeah they roast way too dark, probably to hide the cheap coffee they use and possibly because their extraction is shit.

I can’t drink coffee anywhere else anymore, since I’m roasting myself, and perfected extraction with a Cafelat Robot (low pressure, which I think works better with lighter roasts).

.

Right, probably slightly oversimplified. But just because 36% did not vote, doesn’t mean they would all vote against Trump (well they didn’t vote, so…) A good chunk of them still support (or supported at he time of the election) Trump. And the fact that they didn’t vote is also concerning in this important election (now especially in hindsight, but also at the time). Even as European it was extremely clear that everyone that doesn’t support Trump had to vote (the lesser evil), yet for some reason they didn’t. Because of reasons I just cannot fathom (as the result was and now is clear).

Yet Trump won the “popular” vote. I don’t want to condone those who did vote against Trump. But damn… the popular vote… that really made me loose trust in the majority of the US population. To me it only makes sense if > 1/2 of the US population is seriously mentally ill (which it likely is). Otherwise it’s purely contradictionary to vote against your own interests (or let others decide in case of not voting).

Nah sorry about the few who are doing something and voted for the Dems. But not sorry for the rest of the population, they really dragged the reputation of the US into the deepest of sloppy slime (or something along these lines). And likely caused global instability (especially for the “west”).

With that logic we should be much more aware of the life of animals we kill on an industrial scale similar as the Holocaust. Just because of the taste (we do not need animal based nutrition).

I’d argue the life of a peaceful cow is worth more than that of a hateful Nazi that wants people of certain mindset or skin-color dead or detained.

So why should we care more about the life of nazis that want to make life for everyone (but Nazis) worse (also considering e.g. Climate-Change). We already have too many people, we don’t need scum around…

because the massive ecosystem of JS components makes you more productive.

Slightly less ironic: I question even this right now (as I have to suffer from endless “hot”-reloading and browser-crashes because of Next.js bloat).

I think the massive ecosystem has fewer high quality libraries than Rust at this point. I use both JS/TS in frontend and Rust (either frontend more as a hobby and backend) extensively, and I very often check the dependencies-source, and even more often rewrite it (unfortunately not in Rust), because of low-quality. And it’s sooo slow… the tooling and the frontend (albeit I think that has a very lot to do with next.js… and with how easy it is to make it slow for someone not that experienced or someone not being extremely careful).

Frontend is not yet as matured as JS/TS (whatever matured is, but the count of frontend frameworks is at least a magnitude higher in JS/TS), but I think when I would start a new company I would default to Rust now as frontend indeed, the language itself is for me reason. And I think vanilla-js (or Rust?) is not that much worse (time/effort-wise, sanity etc.) for more complex applications than what the Next.js ecosystem has produced so far.

Actually, my (not that small) Rust projects now take officially less time to cold compile than the “hot” reloading of our next.js monster in my job. Incremental compilation is at least an order of magnitude faster. And cherry on top, dumb code is often 100x faster than js.

You can’t imagine how often I just sweared today about js. What did go through the mind of their designers, when they created this growing disease, and why did web browsers accept this as the lingua franca for the web. So… much… pain…
