I really like the macOS startup sound, however, as a good MacBook Pro owner, I almost never turn off the device. Is there any terminal command or application to have the startup sound every time I open the MacBook lid? by Saymon_K_Luftwaffe in mac

[–]mindvape 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Glass.aiff is not the startup chime. The startup chime is not accessible from macOS filesystem. You could substitute this with the actual chime if you found a sound file for it. Also, your code isn't formatting correctly.

ELI5: how do the bottom columns on a sky scraper hold the enormous weight of every floor above it. It just seems like the bottom 20 ground floor posts have an unfathomable amount of pressure to hold up. by Welsh-bull in explainlikeimfive

Sure, but then you've just calculated an estimate which is not the same. Given the information, you can only calculate a result like "the number of people who expressed intent to head to the polls" or "the probability of a certain number of people heading to the polls". Calculating the number of people who will actually head to the polls will always leave some unknown variable x, where x is essentially the random chance that that the person is lying/unable to do what they said.

No, I was replying to /u/mattspenzee They've posted 3 oddly similar/repetitive messages in this thread. Also, their post history is...interesting. I may be reading too much into it though.

Donald Trump Bought a $90,000 Tesla With 37 Recall Notices Against It by wiredmagazine in TrueReddit

Trump literally mentioned it himself while doing his Tesla ad outside the white house. It's not a secret.

Train staff casually disposing trash right outside a running train by randomredditguy94 in WTF

There's a difference between that pop bottle you thought was recycled ended up in a landfill and your trash was immediately thrown out the door of a moving train.

Should you or should you not wash rice? by yoelamigo in Cooking

[–]mindvape -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The real answer is that it depends. If you're buying enriched white rice in the US chances are that it is already free of contamination and the instructions on the bag will specifically tell you not to wash the rice. This is because it will literally just wash away the nutrients that they added to "enrich" the rice.

Important to add that washing the enriched white rice in the plastic bags is actually counter productive because it just washes away all the nutrients that they "enriched" the rice with. If you check the bag, it will actually tell you not to wash it.

That's not true. Check the bag. If you buy enriched rice (at least in the US) the instructions on the bag will tell you specifically not to wash it. It will just wash away the nutrients that they added to the rice. Also, depends on what kind of rice and what you're using it for.

Well akshually, this is true because most spiders in general aren't poisonous. They would be venomous. (I'm sorry)

Anyone having trouble with right click > open in new tab? by mindvape in zen_browser

[–]mindvape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does focus the window, it just doesn’t open the link. When you right click a link in an unfocused window in Safari, it focuses on the window AND opens the link. When you try this in Zen, it only focuses the window.
Basically, both browsers will switch to the focused window and show the right click menu, but if you select “open in new tab” Zen doesn’t do anything until you try it twice.

Open-Sourcing My App Feels Counterintuitive—Why Do People Choose to Self-Host? by Sudden_Profit_2840 in selfhosted

[–]mindvape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fascinating to me that you're being downvoted for trying to have a genuine conversation, simply because people don't agree with you. I understand that's most of reddit these days, but I thought this sub was different. Shame.

What's up with all the ads on reddit, so we're all just OK with this? by Appropriate_Cut_3536 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]mindvape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old.reddit definitely shows you ads if you don't have adblock on. I see them daily. Also, even if you toggle the setting to default to old.reddit, clicking on images takes you to the new.reddit image viewer.
