“Capable of Practically Anything”

No cellular connectivity…so anything except the one thing that makes a portable device in a “phone-like” form factor useful.

Yes it can do cool stuff; but I can’t replace the other portable device with it…

Long time Mint enjoyer, the ONLY caveat I would put on that is I doesn’t yet have stable for support Wayland.

For a beginner, having the ability to run android apps via waydroid could be a real draw card.

Wayland support is coming, but it isn’t here yet.

Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.

We used to be. The rules changed about 10 years ago.

A lot of big appliances require higher power. Dishwashers, clothes dryers, fridges.

Some powers tools, drill press, plainer.

I never worry about load splitting,.

The benefit of the AS/NSZ plug, is that it isn’t much bigger than the US plug, but has a higher power density.

Because the soul is corrupted in the process.

How is Bazzite with Waydroid?

I am looking to change my Sons laptop from Mint; he is using Minecraft education for some things at school. It is an older dell laptop; but has plenty of power for a 10yo kid.

It is a bit silly.

But the reason is; the faithful are the prize. The unfaithful are already damned; why would the demons bother with those already going to hell?

I’m a lifelong atheist; it is all just superstition; but the logic is not flawed in this case.

Well, he looks like a guy that can get things done!

Simply the best

I can charge my electric car from a standard outlet. Can add 20kWh overnight, which is plenty for 3 days round town driving.

230V at 15A on a standard outlet, plug only slightly larger than the American one.

Covered here you choose to look into it more if you want.

I call this the curtain; when I imagine something, like a tree, I can’t see the tree. But it is still there; just like it is behind a black curtain, no images from the tree can be seen.

Yep…me for 40 years; that is just a metaphor to help think about things. Then one day reading about aphantasia…WTF!!!people can actually see, it’s not just a metaphor.

But then I had a conversation with my partner; she can combine flavors in her mind and know, pretty accurately, what stuff will taste like; it is one reason she loves cooking.

People can actually get a song stuck in their heads…again, not a metaphor.

Mind blown!!!

My 7yo can project images from his mind into the world; what the hell. He can “watch” movie when looking at the wall when he is in bed going to sleep; with the sounds and everything.

Now that you have successfully gotten your brain to flip the cube in to the different orientations; now while it is flipping flatten it to a 2D shape with a small square in the middle.

I am a 5 on this scale, and for all other senses. No smell, sound, touch or taste either.

So yea; it when I say my inner monologue is pretty much my whole thought process.

It totally blew my mind; when I realized others could see actual images in their heads.

The no inner monologue thing still boggles me. Considering my point of view; where it is all of my inner self.

This one I find difficult to comprehend.

My inner monologue is petty much my entire thought process. How does one think and rationalise without one?

I play DnD with a lot of theatre or the mind. I’m a 5 (also 5 with all other mental sensors).

It isn’t to hard, you just remember the description, the detail and context.

If the story is engaging, it is easy.

I’m a big fan of story, some writers rely too much on imagery, great writers story transcends the imagery.

E.g. I can’t stand Tolkien, too much time describing (for me) pointless visual detail. Love Pratchett’s work, the story and subtext are amazing.

Long ago; a non-tech friend saying to another non-tech friend. “you should try it on VLC; it’ll play a slice of cucumber” when referring to some obscure video file they had.

Got nothing to do with being humanoid.

Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.

Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

Bill should take one for the team; and admit that it happened. When some cretin asks if he is gay; he needs to look them dead in the eye and shrug saying “hey, I like blowjobs!”
