Yeah, one of our problems was rain and thick fog causing massive drops and even disconnects on the connection going out from the router as 2.4Ghz really doesn’t like water. The antenna on our side was fine for sending signals back we just couldn’t get it stable incoming, which is why we did the can trick.

Yes, they probably did…

It just means that when “distracted”, perception of time changes. For example, doing something you hate tends to feel like it took more time than something you enjoy.

Indeed, although this type of thing was more common with older wifi generations, so I’m not surprised kids these days wont know.

For example: We cut the top off an old beer can, poked a hole and stuck it onto the antenna to have stable download speeds across a courtyard.

The show is pretty good too.

Not only can they do math, they can fully percieve time

• Double clicking with the mouse on a word usually selects the whole word with the space after, very nice for copy-pasting.

• Double clicking on the selected word will sometimes select the whole line(In some applications it actually selects up to the newline marker, so it will grab multiple lines if resized smaller).

Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I’m sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.

Fun fact: Bees actually make round holes, the hexagon shape forms as the wax dries.

It would heavily depend on context and the situation. And in addition to the other replies, I think it would differ based on if Frieren was alone or traveling with someone, and who that was.

If she and Fern met them at a resturant, things might work out. But I don’t think there would be much left of them if she met them alone on a remote path. At that point she’d probably attack first and ask questions later. Although she might hesitate to harm him in the process. So yeah, it depends on how they meet and if she or someone else with her can detect the difference.

Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.

Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.

In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.

Yes. Europeans themselves also travel to other European countries for cheaper healthcare. To the point where there is an actual medical tourism industry.

For example, there’s a town of 35k people in Hungary that has over 300 dental clinics, because it’s close to the Austrian border and is about half the cost or less.

I’m pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you’ll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

It’s basically impossible to block everything, although most of what you listed in a comment is unavailable to websites. To minimize what is available you can use ublock origin, umatrix and user-agent switcher.

And the best version is by Doctor Spin aka. Andrew Lloyd Webber. The guy who wrote the most famous songs in Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, etc.

Literally the same reason why Ford sells 150s and 250s and Volvo sells 70s and 90s: They are different products and don’t base the version numbers on their competitor.

Yes, it’s obvious sarcasm. But reading comprehension has seriously gone to shit in the last decade or so.

Yeah, it’s very obvious that some of the people responding here don’t interact much with non-tech people, and they have DEFINITELY never worked IT.

Most people aren’t interested in learning the more intricate things. And if you try to force them, they’re not going to get more interested as they learn, because they literally are not interested in tech. They want to accomplish a task, if that takes a bunch of learning just for one thing, they’ll go a different route, or pay someone else to do it for them.

That has to be one of the most out of touch takes I’ve seen in a while. You’re basically saying that things should be intentionally more complicated, and you expect the result to be people just power through and getting used to things being that way, instead of just stopping.

It’s why the trope of an enemy that never stops/is endless is so terrifying, and thus common in media.

I know someone who joined on a bet that he couldn’t get in, and he said the exact same thing.
