I grew up SDA. We ate eggs. Meat (beef, chicken, fish with scale and fins) was not forbidden but it was looked down upon. Potlucks were the worst since i was (am) a picky eater. No meat in sight. Mostly grey lumps in white gravy-ish sauce. I would survive on shells and cheese, mashed potatoes, and fruit salad.
It's possible we were just bad SDAs though. I've met some hardcore SDAs. I imagine how I felt about them was how "regular" Christians felt about me.
Sorry, this is way more information than you asked for...
Good luck watching the office when your cat pushed your upstairs AP off the balcony. Your tv won't auto switch to the downstairs AP which is now closer than the one that's suddenly in the driveway.
My personal hard line is having to ask Google for permission to sideload. Even if it's free and no personal info is exchanged.
This new process is annoying but I can see it helping prevent scams.
This is how earth works too. Humans figured out how to survive in all of earth's ecosystems then bulldozed the whole thing. Those waves sweeping across the grid at the end are different countries becoming dominate.
I have a LG WP50NB40 but it might be scarce these days. I wanted an external drive. Took about five mins to flash. I've ripped a few recent UHD blurays like the Barbie movie and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness without issues.
These discussions are really fun to me. The opportunities to be absurdly pedantic are almost endless. Common words for things gloss over so many details. Most of the time those details aren't important but they still exist and there's someone on the internet that cares deeply about them.
Subtitles increase the signal to noise ratio. At least in our house. We have to keep the tv low to not wake the child. A volume of 10 with subtitles is similar to volume at 16 without subtitles.
That was such a fun time to be into hardware. For years Intel had the money and relationships to keep the Pentium 4 everywhere even though AMD had the better product. The P4 might edge ahead in video rendering but the Athlon would win overall and use less power.
AND those chips overclocked to the moon. I got my E6420 to 3.2ghz (from 2.133ghz) just by upping the multiplier. A quick search makes me think my chip wasn't even that great.
What if, hear me out, the wheels were on the sides and not front and back. It uses gyroscopes to keep itself balanced. Instead of twisting the handle or pushing a button like a savage you lean in the direction you want to go! This is a totally new idea and not a product that was released over 20 years ago and since discontinued.
"A recently departed employee had a core router's power going through a wall switch. This was done to facilitate quick reboots. A cleaning contractor turned off the switch thinking it was a light. It took us several hours to determine the situation and restore power"
I did a detox a few years ago. Just HN and maybe some Google news. Eventually I went back to reddit and it felt so weird. It took some time to get addicted to reddit again because it just wasn't as interesting. I really need to detox again because this stuff has ruined my attention span.
This whole situation reminds me of the EMDrive. There was huge excitement when the news broke of a claimed way to produce momentum without expelling mass. That excitement was only intensified when NASA agreed to test one of the proposed designs. Even after multiple reproducible experiments showed zero thrust a vocal minority still believed.
This isn't exactly like that since the results are slightly less conclusive at this point. But the excitement without reproducible data is definitely there.
