McDonald’s USA has free soft drink refills.

You should use Wayland, not x

Antarctica: 🥶

Sorry should clarify - the rainforest road was marked with this sign from the article.
So yes a maximum of 100, but due to the nature of the road there’s no way you could do over that without killing yourself. Most of the time, you’d only have time to get up to 60 (if that) before another blind bend.

It just felt nice not to have to worry about speed and focus on the road, because here in Australia they’d have a posted speed limit way too slow and a speed trap around each bend.

One of the best drives I’ve done is from Queenstown (on the lightning bolt lake) up the west coast to Greymouth (on the north west coast where the snowcaps stop, the plain there).

Beautiful scenery - you’d be driving (no speed limit, so you can concentrate on the bends) through rainforest one minute and then emerge onto a vast river delta with a giant wooden bridge, then back into forest, then out onto a plain with towering snowcapped mountains above you, then back into forest, then pop out at a beautiful beach.

Never experienced anything like it, it’s one of my favourite memories of my trip to NZ.

Core rope memory?

Memory density is about 2.5MB per cubic metre, might need to buy a warehouse to store it.

Not a meal - that’s just the burger. $8.30 AUD (5.42usd). Ridiculous.

Is this as big an issue in other countries?

Here in Australia when you buy a gift card through the self checkout, a warning pops up about scams that you have to click ok through. There’s also messages that come over the in-store radio warning about not paying with gift cards too.

Nah apparently they are on good terms, it just wasn’t meant to be.

She left to have a solo career as ‘Emma Memma’. When she was with the Wiggles she had a solo show as Emma wiggle that little girls loved.

Emma started in 2013, and left in 2021.

She was married to the purple wiggle (Lachlan) for 2 years - not quite a single episode.

Yes! Respawn actually released a patch the other week and there's 1000s playing again.

Titanfall 2 is an amazing game. It's single player is one of the best - it never gets stale as there's always a new mechanic, both as a 'pilot' (soldier) or in a titan, to master or a twist you didn't see coming. The story itself is top notch, and it's length is good.

If I remember right, you can pause at anytime, even in cutscenes. They're not long though.

Plus, the multiplayer has been fixed just recently so you can vs others in some of the best feeling combat any game has to offer.

I've never played the others though, so feel free to go with them.

Ok I know everyone has said about Firefox + ublock which is a great option, but another option is Edge. It’s built in adblocker is surprisingly effective.

Really, you need some form of adblocker to make the web usable again.

That’s interesting - in Australia we do have ‘protected action’ that can be taken when bargaining. Basically each workplace in a union has a vote to strike (endorsed by the fair work commission) and if it gets up any action taken is protected from retaliation.

Just finished it. I’d heard about it, and many people recommend it when red October is mentioned (and vice versa). I’m not sure I’d put them in the same genre.

I’m not sure what I think at the moment. It was very long, but had some very intense scenes. I think it was trying to get me to feel deeply for the characters (especially the captain) but it didn’t really reach me (spoiler) Eg The people jumping off the burning ship.

I’m also not sure yet what to think about the fact that (spoiler) the whole movie takes place on the submarine, with no cut aways. I think on one hand it added to the tension of surface ships trying to find them, but on the other hand it was difficult to orient the story without visuals for location or relative locations.

I feel the length was included to show how boring it can be waiting for orders or enemies, but a shorter cut might’ve been more engaging.

It’s not a movie I’d go and rewatch in a hurry (if ever). Red October has much more rewatchability.

That’s pretty much what a tokenizer does for Large Language Models like Chat-GPT. You can see how it works here: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

Type in the word ‘Antidisestablishmentarianism’ and you can see it becomes 5 tokens instead of 28 characters.

‘of all time’ - hmmm the earliest item on the list is the newton from the 90s, but then everything else is firmly in the last 20 years.

The Hunt for Red October

I think it depends on the game.

Need something fast paced, where the options don’t really matter? Go with just labels and don’t show the script.

Need fast paced but it matters? Go with the other commenter’s game that has a time limit while still showing scripts.

Slow and doesn’t matter? Do what you like, it doesn’t matter.

Slow and matters? Think Fallout: New Vegas - excellent script detail and what you choose makes a big difference
