A local place makes a pepperoni pizza with blue cheese and honey added. It’s fucking amazing.

I know, right? I was so happy to find there are a bunch of positive voiced pings you can bind in Deadlock. I can now have my character go “good job” when the team does something well together, or “thanks” when a team-mate intentionally or just coincidentally save my skin, and make sure the other players get to feel appreciated.

This is how I respond when people call me cringe for complimenting my team-mates in games. Even when we lose.

Yeah, don’t know the specifics, but at some point the thermal energy will start knocking the molecules down into atoms.

Steam has no limit to how hot it can get. Until it eventually transitions into plasma of course. By then the oxygen and hydrogen would have separated, I imagine. Then it’s no longer water.

Superheated steam was a problem in some steam locomotives, as running the water level too low would allow the boiler to reach temperatures that would compromise the integrity of the metal.

Only liquid water has the boiling point as a “limit”.

Maybe when it contains superheated steam?

Becoming more like the competition might make sense, if you completely blind yourself to the fact that the customers you do have are the people who don’t like the competition.

This is kind of a huge turning point.

It would mean reddit is discarding the biggest thing that makes it different from all the other algo-driven “engagement”-fueled social platforms.

No. I’m talking about “The Learning Channel” which started off as a genuine educational TV network that eventually devolved into producing nothing but utterly worthless reality TV slop.

Nothing to see here. Just netflix slowly going they way of TLC.

Ew

One side of your deskpad may be grippier than the other. I noticed this with my pad when I flipped it once. The keyboard side seems to have become worn and become rough on a visually unnoticeable level, so my mouse now slides way better one end of the pad than the other.

Also, others have suggested teflon replacements for the skates.

You can also get “universal” adhesive glass mouse skates. Once I tried glass skates on a mouse I never wanted to use anything else.

That said I benefit from this most when I use my mouse for gaming. It might be pointless for average use, but the extremely low friction is very comfortable.

Unit commanders are given instructions to ensure soldiers consume Russian state media daily to maintain their “psychological condition”.

Makes sense. Wouldn’t want the troops thinking things through on their own. They might come to conclusions that actually approach the truth.

Start with the cheapest plan.

If you ever find yourself wishing steam installed a game faster, then upgrade to the next best one. See if that feels like enough.

I pay a bit more for 600mbps, but that’s because I have a home server which runs services for friends and family. It might be streaming media, be syncing nextcloud data, and uploading a snapshot to off-site backup, all at the same time, and it needs to do that without hiccups for anyone accessing it. Even then it’s more than strictly necessary. 350mbps would be VERY fast, and enough.

Along with that comes the ability to install small games basically instantly on my gaming desktop, and big ones in the time it takes me to grab a snack, but even the cheapest speed available would otherwise be more than enough for single-person use.

My siblings and mother live on 10mbps home wifi, and they never even complain.

Or maybe medically?

Batteries catch fire. Very large ones, or many cells together can mean a very hot, very dangerous fire, with the occasional violence of a cell bursting.

Being in close contact with something like a phone when that happens would cause burns, but they don’t “explode” with very much force. (Relatively speaking. You wouldn’t get lethal fragmentation for example, I don’t think)

The note 7 batteries didn’t really go boom in the way an actual explosive does, though the reaction is a sudden and fast release of thermal energy, its not that much energy in terms of explosive devices.

So no. You can’t “hack” a phone and turn it into a bomb using just the hardware that is already inside. You could start a fire, and that could be deadly, but as an explosive device the battery in most phones is not that potent.

For real. I’ve seen kids years younger than when I started pedaling scurrying around on these, and it instantly clicked why it’s a much better way to learn to stay upright on two wheels.

I wish my first bike had been something like that. Training wheels stop a bike from leaning into turns, so they don’t teach you anything about what it is like to ride without them.

They’d have taken gold by just standing there and explaining their logic to the judges.

Yes and no.

Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.

If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.

Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.

If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.

He’s cuddly as hell, and gets right up in the business of new and old humans without a care.

Even knows how to play fetch, given I use a toy that he likes to chase when thrown, more than he likes to chew it when caught.
