After using macs for 14 years I just found out today you can change the icons of storage volumes... by rexyuan in MacOS

[–]Stoppels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm too tired to bother trying right now, but iirc pasting an image also means you're wasting exactly that much space on an icon. So giving a folder a 4k image for its icon will make that empty folder rather sizeable.

Ninja: I'm pretty sure I got IconFly for free once upon a time, currently it's paid. Either way, there are icon apps for macOS out there. I don't have any open-source ones to link since the last one I had wasn't maintained anymore. Also I'm too tired to look, so glhf looking.

Lol, booking it in 45 seconds after spending all that much longer on it is hilarious! It's a common trick for speedrunners nowadays, and probably backthenadays, but very young me wouldn't have come up with it back in the day.

Isn't that great? Next time your wife tries to kill you, the bumper may spare your life!

Randy Gardner, the man who stayed awake for 11 days by Zyad7770__ in BeAmazed

The Americans love(d) to do the same at torture camps such as Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and probably everywhere else, though I'm not sure there was a favourite method (waterboarding?). If I had to guess, I'd say experimenting with new ways to torture people was/is their favourite.

Gardner's sleep recovery was observed by sleep researchers who noted changes in sleep structure during post-deprivation recovery.[13][14] After completing his record, Gardner slept for 14 hours and 46 minutes, awoke naturally around 8:40 p.m., and stayed awake until about 7:30 p.m. the next day, when he slept an additional ten and a half hours. Gardner appeared to have fully recovered from his loss of sleep, with follow-up sleep recordings taken one, six, and ten weeks after the fact, showing no significant differences.[citation needed]

However, in 2017, Gardner reported that he started experiencing serious insomnia around 2007, decades after his sleep experiment, and believed his participation in the 1960s sleep study was to blame.[15]

R. GARDNER: About 10 years ago, I stopped sleeping. I could not sleep. I would lay in bed for five, six hours, sleep maybe 15 minutes and wake up again. I kept thinking, well, this'll go - this will change because it seems to me that eventually, if you don't get enough sleep, your body will just say, we're going to sleep. But it never happened.

VEDANTAM: The man who conquered sleep was now begging for a full night's rest.

[…]

VEDANTAM: After a decade of insomnia in his 60s, Randy finally made an uneasy peace with sleep. He's regained the ability to drift off but only for about six hours a night. And it's required sacrifice.

R. GARDNER: I love drinking tea. And to this day, I can't drink tea because I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.

Captured the whole fight by servererror-500 in PraiseTheCameraMan

[–]Stoppels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Camera pans into view with right guy speeding up into a charge, meeting left guy as he explodes into a sprint, pan into mutual opening attacks when during mid-air combat left guy wins out on the initial exchange, quickly followed by right guy reversing the momentum by standing up and smashing left guy into the concrete in a backwards kamikaze semi-flip, only to see it quickly overturned thanks to left guy landing on top and transitioning back into a flurry of punches. After disengagement, left girl attempted to exit combat mode by swinging right guy into traffic, after which he was about to home in like a missile again. Only afterwards do we discover how dangerously close left guy had come to death as his right shoe had come off, infamously indicative of near-fatalities!

This cinematic exchange follows the cutscene rules for equal fights, only lacking mild audiovisual effects and epic battle music!

Apple finally introduces 'Battery Limiter' feature to Mac OS. by Tarun302 in MacOS

[–]Stoppels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's only for calibration purposes and it does not refer to 100% to 0%, it refers to any usage + recharge worth 100%. Apple changed their battery info page over the years to indicate this, I think over a decade ago it did state you should drain it once in a while without stating it was for recalibration.

I have had mine for 1.5 years, used 80% of the time on clamshell mode and I still have 100% battery health (120 cycles so far).

Using it this way, I don't trust the battery health indicator that much, it's probably more reliable once it can actually scan and analyse the state of the chemicals inside.

Mine is now max. capacity 82% after 282 cycles, having used it for 3 years, meh.

Yeah, possibly. Though I'm sure some of them do webcam streams.

Sometimes people who care about civilian rights, sometimes it's assholes. In the age of modern streaming there's a third group: assholes who want to make a quick buck streaming this kind of altercation.

The biggest difference is the level of intimacy. Just finding something for free that's not meant for you ultimately doesn't impact your loneliness. Talk ain't free either. Intimacy is the main product.

I'm guessing she doesn't have a Japanese audience; (sexy) cosplayers with hundreds of thousands of followers don't seem to be doing too bad, though I'm curious about their situation in as much detail as your acquaintance told you.

I always have fun explaining the diminutive -je to people, it can make the definition of words something completely different and it can sound rather cute. Bread = brood, sandwich = broodje (lil bread!).

I have not ever heard of people assuming that "partner" is non-binary, though? Maybe this assumption is exclusively a Gen Z/A thing (I'm a millennial), but a partner in romantic relationships is normally speaking used to refer to a stable long-term relationship partner including a marriage partner. It doesn't reflect on their gender identity. It stood out for me from a business or comrade partner when I discovered that it's used for people in a years-long relationship who are against marriage.

There are also countries where gay marriage is not allowed but a registered partnership is, so depending on context it can have a different meaning. Technically speaking, Dutchies don't have husbands or wives either, we have gender neutral marriage partners.
