There are an endless number of places where the speed limit data does not match the actual speed limit. My car has the speed limit wrong on hundreds of small back roads and even segments of highway. This encourages not actually paying attention to posted signs.

Failing that, you can be going the speed limit and then the speed limit drops or increases by 15-30mph suddenly. Like highway ramps for example. Most people coast into the lower speed after the change or accelerate into the new speed in advance of the change. This would encourage hard breaking at extremely dangerous places or entering highways at incredibly unsafe low speeds.

FYI: Home Depot sells ratchet straps and rags for less than $10. First time I made this mistake with my car I just padded the roof with rags and ratchet strapped the shit to the roof.

The next time I went I had crossbars and used the same ratchet straps.

I’ve hauled more shit in my $16k sedan on $200 crossbars than 90% of $90k+ superduty pickup owners

Opsgenie and PagerDuty let you add them as contacts from within the app and it manages the rotating numbers for you so you can keep using a specific ringtone for them. This is also how they can override DND so you can go back to muting your phone at night and know that pages will still come in.

I hate this excuse because it’s so incredibly easy to keep records without keeping the account itself active. I work in healthcare and we have to do shit like this all the time with archiving patients records into an offline storage and then destroying their “hot” accounts to comply with two different incompatible laws.

36% of all gamers are 18-34.
25% of all gamers are 35-54.

As of right now, 25-34 year olds average 37 minutes per day of video games (4.3 hours per week). 35-44 averages 21 minutes per day (2.45 hours per week).

These averages are more interesting when peering into the breakdown by age group. (Removing people who don’t play at all by age) to show in 30-39 year olds 67% playing games between 1 and 20 hours per week. 76% of those 18-29.

It’s a duplex so the HOA only has two homes in it. The fees were designed to cover the water bill, master insurance policy, and slowly collect enough money to replace the roof every decade or two.

Unfortunately the other unit has no interest in even basic maintenance so unless we take care of everything the place slowly just falls apart. We’ve had to fight with them over every tiny repair from siding damage to a literal hole in the roof that a squirrel chewed out. They keep running an Airbnb with loud guests who throw parties despite it being against the HOA and unless we pay for our own lawyer there’s no way to actually enact the fines and stuff as laid out in the HOA rules.

We’re selling and never buying in a small HOA ever again

I’ve definitely noticed significantly more people still wear hats in the city. Walking all over the place and taking trains and busses means way more outside exposure day to day so could explain why more people still wear hats around here.

Good thing °R and °RA aren’t pointing guns at each other

Neither are °F and °R nor °K and °C

This is almost artfully done

Several spices, roots, and herbs are native to those regions and have been used for centuries. Combinations of these spices can trigger similar nerve bundles that capsaicin from American peppers does (more easily)

Sichuan peppercorns are native to china and have been used in their cuisine since at least the 16th century

Ginger is native to maritime Southeast Asia and has been used in food for at least 5000 years since the early austroneaseans

Wasabi is native to Japan and Eastern Russia and has been used in their cuisine since the 8th century AD

Cassia cinnamon (hot cinnamon) is native to china. “True cinnamon” is native to Sri Lanka. Saigon cinnamon is native to Vietnam. All three have been imported from their native lands since at least 3000BC to Egypt and other African regions.

Mustard is native to India originally cultivated by the Indus civilization in 2500 BC. It’s a relative of wasabi after all.

Curry leaf from the curry tree is also native to India and Asia and has been part of their cuisine for millennia.

Put all these ingredients in a stew with zero chilies and I guarantee it’s going to burn through the roof of your mouth, your tongue, and your lips all at the same time.

Capsaicin is popular in modern versions of these dishes because it is cheap due to being easily cultivated and achieves spiciness without needing to cook the food for an entire day. But old world versions of many traditional dishes were still just as spicy.

 

Lemmy needs serverside hide features for posts and for communities or I’ll never find real interesting communities hiding on the 10th page of top feeds. This lack of functionality could cause the top feeds to stay trash permanently and drive away users. Especially when new apps are constantly appearing, client side hides are more or less useless as I switch between apps.

Reddit post hide features are fairly performant because they quietly expire after some period of time. They stay in your “hidden” list but actually will start showing in the results again if somehow that content is still visible. You can see this on super slow or abandoned subreddits if you hide every and come back a month later.

Reddit community blocking features have always sucked with the serverside limit of 100. Seems even more dire in Lemmy when the same shitposting communities spring up on different hosts
