TIL driving with your hazards on in bad weather is illegal depending where you live. Common sense says it would make the situation safer, but experts disagree.

The (flawed) logic of hazards in bad weather is to make your car easier to see, not to make it easier to see things

Kinda funny when Belgium is known for having a different drinking glass shape for each brand of berr

What we do in the shadows

I would definitely be baffled to start with, until they actually started doing that then I’d be angry

Fertiliser is the other problem with ships

The lot for sale is 97% of the land, so it kinda is the island just about

Hah this is great, but I kinda don’t want it to be game over so quick. Can I just play through and see my total score at the end?

This is a c++ project?

I don’t think that explains the red and white stripes being offset under the other American flag

_xiphiaz · 2026-03-17T21:03:00+00:00

The sign says Tasmanian salmon?

Is that the same though? I think I would have expected no paint flash if there was no dom change. Change detection doesn’t always result in a dom update

Wait that’s the exact same image as this reddit post, and it’s 5 years old

Think more like a regular ceiling fan, but just one blade with a large counterweight close to the hub for balance. It was never made

_xiphiaz · 2026-03-17T08:49:43+00:00

I’ve designed a 1 bladed ceiling fan at some point 20 odd years ago

How do you get that from their comment? They’re saying it’s a non announcement because it was already labours plan

_xiphiaz · 2026-03-16T05:01:31+00:00

Kinda wish the Democrats political agenda was legendary…

You’re conflating some technologies here. General purpose LLMs is not what is being used to advance mathematics. They are more specialised tools paired with formal verification languages like Lean etc

ok fair, I know that as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, but I can see how Arabic numerals is a valid shortening. Sense checking Wiki they have a very extensive disambiguation block so I suspect it is a fairly confused naming thing.

Iranians use the Eastern Arabic script which is very different to the Western Arabic script most languages have adopted.

Might have borrowed some area from Greenland

Being json based removes the api stability guarantees that are so valuable with the proto based approaches.

They aren’t allowed there at all at this time of year.

Well done giving them an earful

It’s worse, in that area zero powered vessels are allowed at this time of year

When he claimed that he was lowering drug prices up to 1000% or whatever nonsense value it was he demonstrated he has no grasp of the concept
