Glad somebody is onto it, now they just need to make the the rest of the buttons into a pad and I’ll have my idealised version.

In case you’re interested it’s a famous story where the baron’s horse get stuck in quicksand and he pulls himself and his horse out by pulling on his hair, b-bro.

Enough people to warrant the regulation apparently.

Bottle caps being attached is about the bottle and the cap being recycled/landfilled together instead of caps ending up in a different location. This works well with the return money you get for recycling bottles so everything gets disposed properly.

The general idea is that plastic in the environment is more of a problem than pollution from producing the little extra per bottle. Microplastics from plastics that don’t make it to the landfill are becoming a big issue and the EU is working on it.

Refitting machines to produce them is also not a big issue since that’s a one-time cost for not that many machines.

Don’t forget that oil companies go green only for oil production, the oil they produce is not counted.

Easy to wipe true, but what if instead of a capacitor button we can have a magnetic control board with magnetic push keys?

It would be fully removable, attachment magnet snaps it into place and then it’s essentially a button with a magnet physically travelling up and down.

The I really hate the capacitor buttons since if you get pasta that boils over it fucks with the buttons pretty fast and the “off button” is just not good for quickly turning it off when flooded. It’s same for pan cooking sauce that splashes a bit, wiping the surface moist rag can have mixed results, paper towels become a requirement. There’s just a lot to not like.

A standard knob, as long as it’s not designed by an idiot, can be very simple by having a piece of heat resistant non corrosive material stuck out of the stove top and the button having a 1cm gap under it. Just make the pin chonky and you can drop a pan on it without anything happening. Lift the button off and it becomes still very easy to clean.

I think Shogun 2 Total War was an absolute vibe going into traditional Japanese style music. It’s same guy that wrote the music for Medieval 2 and made thematic bangers.

My music awakening probably was Midnight Club 2 3 Dub Edition where the music was just a great collection. I used to play Ante Up by M.O.P. a lot, Nine inch nails hand that feeds and general exposure to a lot of good songs.

SC 2 Heaven’s Devils is also a certified banger

Meter was defined as 1/10M of the length from equator to the pole. It’s not exact because the size was established by people literally measuring the distance while traveling. They got really close though. Rest of the units were derived from that length such as 10cm cube of water is 1kg and so on.

Meter is pretty useful though, a large step step is around one meter so you can measure a field by walking after a bit of practice to get the step right. The height of people’s waist is around 1m also.

The point you make about counting is not really an advantage since in metric we count in meters, 10s of centimeters, centimeters, 100s of meters or kilometer which is roughly 10 minutes walking.

The difference is that when you need to do calculation or anything scientific it becomes super easy to convert between units. A cubic meter of water is 1 metric ton (1000kg), 1L of water is 1kg so you can just measure 250ml of milk (~ a cup) by adding 250g of water to a bowl. A tablespoon by adding 15g and a teaspoon by adding 5g.

It makes cooking and baking a lot easier since you don’t need to bring out a whole range of measurement equipment because you can often just use a scale instead.

Then we have Fahrenheit temp scale. Goes from 0 very cold and 100 very hot. Both are intuitive after a while but metric make it very easy to reason about larger ranges and how close to freezing something is outside.

Bottom line is that both are very arbitrary but any time you go outside some regular guesstimates of “this is x long” metric becomes easier.

Beat me to it

We have also units in metric, except it’s always the same ones. Horse is around 2m and a small banana is 15cm, a human foot in around 30cm.

You can measure the parts of your body to get to the same point reference pretty fast and it’s very relatable when you live in a non-imperial country.

Baron Munchausen reference?

The anime in great relaxing Friday choice

Most bottles made in this shape are unsafe to heat. It’s not common so it’s not cheap.

I prefer a top bar that contains global menu, system tray, launcher icon and applications at around 30px height. I also remove titlebars on windows because I use keyboard shortcuts for all of those actions.

Isn’t it just ZRAM but with a C?

For any finincial anything always do a round trip with a $10 too see if it’s possible.

You can use all the classes, patterns, functions, methods you want but if it’s not readable it’s garbage.
