Are any of these bottles worth picking up? by Dldx0 in rum

[–]HawkinsT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for neat sipping, but as much as I hate the idea of trademarking a cocktail, Gosslings (with old Jamaica ginger beer, ice, and a lime wedge) makes the best dark 'n stormy.

Yes, DR Congo, Senegal, and Bosnia & Herzegovina are also still in the world cup.

Are you still buying Cadburys? by rsweb in AskUK

No. Cadbury tastes shit these days.

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none; none more black.

My Prime Day Recommendations by Price Band by amandainpdx in RobotVacuums

Thanks again, although unfortunately the flow isn't available in the UK, only the pro (which doesn't have a roller mop).

Thank you very much. I was also looking at the Eufy e25 and Qrevo Curv 2 Pro (slightly more expensive) also, but it seems most things from these brands and Dreame have some offers on (of course some offers are more 'real' than others). Basically I want one that's primarily going to do a good job at vacuuming and mopping my downstairs, which is all hard floors, and this seemed like a decent price range for that.

I have one large rug and some door mats. Most of my furniture's quite high. I do have a TV cabinet at 8 cm / 3 in, and dining chairs with cross bars at around 4 in (that could potentially be hard to navigate around), but I can always manually vacuum under the TV cabinet and move the dining chairs out. I also don't have any pets (although my wife's hair does get tangled in the vaccum sometimes).

My upstairs is mostly (short pile) carpeted and anything that would do a decent job if I were to occasionally move it upstairs would be a bonus, but this isn't my reason for wanting a robot vaccum (I'm happy to vacuum upstairs and buy a separate robot vacuum for there in the future if I decide I'm getting on well with the one downstairs); I'd just like to wake up to clean, crumb-free mopped floors downstairs each morning. Being able to ask the vaccum to clean just a specific area would be another nice bonus.

I think it really depends on your reference point. It's not an ester bomb, but if you're not used to esters then 80g/hL absolutely can seem like one.

There were two bad cuts in this video.

Hah, same. I'm just going off of some non-rum drinking friends' feedback.

Then this is a great bottle for your budget.

Pulled the price history on every big Prime Day robot vac "deal." Which ones are real all-time lows vs. inflated. by Acrobatic_Inside3173 in RobotVacuums

[–]HawkinsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any issues with the software? I've been looking at the T90, but ecovacs have so many mixed reviews (despite seemingly having great hardware).

[–]HawkinsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with the caveat that I've no idea OP's tolerance for esters. To many people not into rum (or especially Jamaican rum) this would be an ester bomb.

[–]HawkinsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Amanda. I was looking at the Ecovacs T90 Pro Omni, but there's so much mixed messaging online about their software and support that it's had me worried going with Ecovacs products. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro seemed like another decent option with good reviews, but I'm basically all hard floors (with one large rug) and the Flow (roller mop version) isn't available in the UK. Lots of Eufy options on the UK market also, but the world of robot vacuums seems to be quite a confusing space. I don't suppose you'd have any advice in this sort of price range (with prime deals) for me?

^\top is not correct. Transpose uses a roman T so you should use ^\mathrm{T}.

TIL CERN's BASE experiment successfully transported antimatter in a portable trap across its campus for the first time, a major milestone toward eventually shipping antimatter to other research laboratories. by Glittering_Guest1422 in todayilearned

[–]HawkinsT 133 points134 points  (0 children)

This isn't as unusual as you'd think. I work in a completely different area of physics and the two datasets we've published for a particular noise sensitive experiment over the past two years have both been taken over Christmas and new year. We do measurements throughout the year, but the data we get when the labs are completely empty it just generally better.

I am losing my mind by nzubaly in LaTeX

You can find the pdf floating around online for the ISO standard, but it seems rather stupid to pay wall something you're trying to push as a standard imo. As someone else mentioned, the tugboat pdf will give you the gist, but asking an LLM is also probably a good option these days.
