The thing about the ones I’ve tried is that they all did either go full blast or not at all

I don’t understand these things. All I’ve ever tried to use are waaayy too strong and cause water to splash everywhere. I do have an under-the-toilet-seat one and I like that very much, butI never got the hand of the handheld ones

For length, for an average male one meter is about one large step with extended legs (useful for distances), or the distance between e.g. the left side of your torso to the end of the extended right hand (useful for estimating the length of rope or smth).

For weight, it might be useful that 1 liter (that’s 1 dm3 but noone uses that except sometimes in scientific literature) is almost exactly 1 kg, and a typical cup fits 0.25 liter. A shot of alcohol is either 20 or 40 milliliters (0.02 or 0.04 liter) depending on where you are and what you order.

For conversions you just need to remember the base unit (e.g. meter and grams/kilograms) and the decimal prefixes. But you really only need milli (1/1000), centi (1/100) and kilo (1000) in day to day life. Then you simply shift the decimal.

I didn’t think of that - also for nvim you typically pull plugins from git repositories

I just didn’t plot anything anymore tbh. I originally wanted to make stencils for electro-etching but I realized that I don’t really have that much of use for it.

I did it with my ender 3, using a printed bracket to hold the knife. It’s a hassle to use and I barely use it because it’s such a pita. I managed to make a few nice cutouts though so it’s definitely possible. I just wouldn’t recommend it.

Most organic things will get converted to biomass/CO2/NH3/… in the end. Inorganics will probably be sediment at some point.

They’re both code/text editors, or what would you call VSCode instead? An IDE? you can make an IDE out of nvim if you want.

Yes, there is a vim mode in VSCode, but in some cases it can be very slow (like editing a few thousand columns at once), and is not as tightly integrated.

1 kW is 3412 BTU/h (=BTUs)

Most induction stovetops have a boost function with around 3-4 kW (that’s about 13000 BTUs).

BUT contrary to a gas stove top, almost all of the energy is actually put into the pot instead of the surroundings (only 30-40% of the energy from a gas stove is used to heat the pot). Meaning that a 4 kW induction cooktop should be comparable to a 40’000 BTUs gas stove (single burner).

Most nvim users I know have their setup very much customized. That takes time, effort and is a pita. But afterwards you have a tool that just works like you want it to work, and is super fast (at least compared to VSCode).

you can change that if it bothers you

Get a 2 TB SSD (the one you chose is fine)

eh, back when the “exodus” was happening it felt like every second post is about defederation. Nowadays you don’t hear much about it anymore, but if you only looked back then I see how you could come to that conclusion.

Boost feels a lot like rif which I was using and which shutdown made me switch to lemmy.

Sure you can do that, but it’s more work for both parties assuming the message hasn’t been read. I’m just saying that both Signal and WhatsApp have had this feature for quite some time now and it has come in handy for me a few times already.

That’s certainly an issue, but for me it was already quite useful for deleting unread obsolete messages (e.g. deleting “can you bring milk” after you realized that there still is some), or messages accidentally sent to the wrong person. I think limiting to a short time frame and/or only unread messages would solve most of the possible abuse.

That’s all very interesting. I might even consider re-learning the d (and the b for that matter).

I’m writing notes for myself and I can read them. When I’m writing for someone else (which rarely happens for handwritten notes) I take the time and effort to write nicer.

Also, I specifically didn’t write the example carefully because the use case for me would specifically be handwritten notes I made for myself.

Also if you’re not writing in cursive? I just checked some templates for kids to learn the letters, and at least the ones I’ve found do a circle first and then strike down. For example here. In cursive the materials I’ve found go halfway clockwise, then anticlockwise to complete the circle, up and down again like this.

I wonder whether this is something cultural.
