“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
«Works for me» is seldom a good advice.
That wasn’t the advice; the advice was “try offline tiles and see if that helps.” In their case, it didn’t, but it’s just covering arguably the most likely potential cause. The fact it wasn’t their problem doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth asking.
I’d also add that the borrow checker, to me, has a grossly overexaggerated difficulty/annoyance. It follows a simple set of a few easily learned rules, and in my experience, if you break one, it’ll tell you which and where. I feel like the type of C/C++ programmers complaining about it are mostly the ones that have mountains of hidden memory etc. bugs in their C/C++ code that Rust actually makes them clean up.
Edit: Another class I find are those who kind of just feel out the borrow checker blindly without sitting down for 20 minutes to learn how ownership works.
This is more like a proper comic book format rather than a comic strip – where a comic strip is fairly short, this is dozens of panels long and is serialized from the similarly long previous episode. Still a cool comic, still a very based format (CC BY), and it seems like the first couple episodes are more like comic strips, so Pepper & Carrot itself isn’t the problem.
Either way, seeing as I saw this way too late and it’s totally benign (just poorly fitting; I would try a proper comics/comic books community for future episodes if they’re like this), I’m leaving it up.
TL;DR: Comic strips short; consider something that would reasonably fit in a newspaper alongside other similarly-sized comics.
“Takes seconds” seems like a strange experience. I remember OsmAnd years ago performed like that for me – clearly, painfully loading in the individual tiles. But nowdays, it smoothly transitions between LoD and has no problem smoothly scrubbing over e.g. a major city.
I’m using offline vector maps, for context.
Edit: Trying online tiles again, I’m assuming your problem can be resolved by switching to offline. You can have the offline data update automatically such that you don’t have to worry about it. CoMaps and Organic only use offline maps, which is why they’re similarly snappy to offline OsmAnd.
This is under Configure Map > Map Source, and you only need to download for the region (usually e.g. a province) that you’re using.
Something I’d suggest if OsmAnd feels too cluttered for you is to change the settings; OsmAnd lets you change a lot, but one of the ones I do is to change “Map Style” to Osm-Carto.
Carto, for context, is the vector map that you’d find by going to the OSM website. Much cleaner color scheme, imo.
Yeah, OsmAnd is really good; it’s what I use as my daily driver. CoMaps/Organic to me feel too limited, but some people may like that.
(I use Vespucci for editing on Android.)
Would switch Organic Maps to its fork CoMaps. (See: this open letter)
And I would never recommend Brave as the first choice; it’s run by a shady corporation and reinforces Chromium’s hegemony.
I think it’d also be reasonable to add ProtonMail to email and Mullvad to VPN since you can have multiple.
OP, you might want to choose another medication. Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzo used in the treatment of severe anxiety and includes depression as a potential long-term side-effect. It can sometimes alleviate depression in the short-term, but this likely owes to anxiety’s close link with depression. The current evidence for its efficacy as an antidepressant is notably extremely poor:
Alprazolam appears to reduce depressive symptoms more effectively than placebo and as effectively as tricyclic antidepressants. However, the studies included in the review were heterogeneous, of poor quality and only addressed short-term effects, thus limiting our confidence in the findings. Whilst the rate of all-cause withdrawals did not appear to differ between alprazolam and placebo, and withdrawals were less frequent in the alprazolam group than in any of the conventional antidepressants combined group, these findings should be interpreted with caution, given the dependency properties of benzodiazepines.
As the Cochrane review notes, if you’re finding that benzodiazepine withdrawal is less frequent than that of traditional antidepressants, the existing body of data is heavily suspect.
I only say this because there are less confusing choices of medication for the joke.
The relevant Wikipedia policy, for those curious. This verges on but doesn’t violate it.
Formally on reddit?
Yes. I even write semi-formally on Mastodon for PCSX2 (or wrote; on hiatus) within its constraints; a PR team attempting to apologize for something will normally resort to formality regardless of the forum.
You’re giving off major “A 10-page essay before AI-assisted writing? As if!” vibes. I’m sorry basic PR etiquette is inconceivable to you personally. The Wendy’s Twitter account is that way if you want to soothe your preconceptions about PR on social media.
I write formally all the time; smells like a PR team writing formally.
Ah, yes, reaffirming that someone raising an issue is correct to have done so is the telltale sign of an LLM. Couldn’t just be basic professional writing etiquette that LLMs were trained forwards and backwards on; it has to have been written by an LLM.
You don’t actually write formally very much, do you?
Here’s a breakdown for some of the popular ones; almond milk is problematic for its water usage, but even accounting for locale, it doesn’t even come close to dairy milk.
That is, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “better” if your choice of milk is part of your environmentalism and you like almond milk.

The Times of India is a rag that literally accepts bribes for positive coverage; sensationalist garbage is their bread and butter.
But it gets worse: this story is over two years out-of-date.
The KSTAR Research Center at the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced on the 20th that during the ‘2023 KSTAR Plasma Campaign’ conducted from December of last year to February of this year [2024], it achieved a 48-second operation of ultra-high-temperature plasma at an ion temperature of 100 million degrees and a record 102-second operation in high-confinement mode (H-mode).
This happened back in 2024. Here’s a paper.
The “Tech Advisory Board”, to be clear, which is why they’re all people in technology; just saying “the board” implies a board of directors, which would be weird for someone like Steve Huffman as a side hustle.

Welcome to industrialization
Industrialization in the form of the cotton gin was one of the main reasons slavery was so profitable in the South. What are you talking about?
Louis addressed this in his video. He pointed out that he’s suing in large part because Samsung is penalizing the honest way of doing things. He wants to promote the honest way by setting an example, and good for him.
