EX90? And when the mirrors are extended, you’re easily up to 2.1m wide. It’s like they want to crash into stuff when driving in the city. Or “störst går först” mentality…

But Nick Naylor said that nicotine is shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Don’t tell me what to do, nicotine might be saving my life!

Lots of Americans traveling domestically. I was also in awe of that.

Is illicit Adderall in the US “real”? Or are they usually pressed fakes?

I never understood why speed is/was so uncommon when I was in the US a long time ago. I was offered basically everything there, but never normal speed (without methamphetamine in it) like in Europe.

Stimulants like Adderall and Xanax are often misused to cope with academic and social pressures.

I never knew benzodiazepines were stimulants.

I saw him posting “proof” that he doesn’t use genAI when he showed a screenshot of one tracing layer, like that’d be proof…

I can confidently bet my right testicle that he uses genAI, and maybe does a bit of “retouching” on it. There are way too many sloppy features to be original art, not even novices would draw some of those features.

Tbh, it’s more offensive that he uses it and then denies it. Like seeing your kid come home with bloodshot eyes and smelling like weed and he answering “no way dad, drugs are for losers!”

The thing is, people usually suck at explaining themselves… so instead of a <5 minute telephone interrogation, it’s suddenly a 15+ minute back-and-forth chat. But yes, I’d much rather answer a quick well-detailed text question.

I agree that it sucks, but curious, what do you bake that needs such precision? (Even if you set it in the app, it’d probably still be ±5 degrees, unless you bought a really special stove)

To mitigate these limitations and reduce write pressure, we’ve migrated, and continue to migrate, shardable (i.e. workloads that can be horizontally partitioned), write-heavy workloads to sharded systems such as Azure Cosmos DB, optimizing application logic to minimize unnecessary writes. We also no longer allow adding new tables to the current PostgreSQL deployment. New workloads default to the sharded systems.

“wow, we’ve made our postgres so good and fast… by moving heavy workloads to a NoSQL database engine”. Truly mind-blowing, OpenAI. Just like their LLM service, not even their technical staff can stop themselves from lying and writing misleading statements.

The only interesting part could have been what they use for caching… but of course they don’t give any details at all. And all the rest is already well-known DBOps stuff… and basically all automatic with stuff like cnpg.

In addition to what the others said, you’re unnecessarily increasing the amount of ice/snow on the road. You also decrease visibility for drivers in the opposite lane depending on the wind direction. It only takes a couple minutes at the most to clean off the majority of snow, unless you’re a lazy tosser.

Huh? I’m confused, where exactly was I hateful?

Disappointed, perhaps? Especially considering that the only two accidents I’ve been in during my entire life have been idiots with “ice and snow” (non-studded) tyres ice-skating into the back of my car.

Sorry, but American statistics aren’t fully relevant to their comment. Sweden has much more rigorous laws and controls regarding tires, and a particular difference is also rules regarding the stud length and depth.

Yes, our studded tires still damage the roads a bit more than “normal” tires, but it’s not an astronomical difference. The lifesaving and healthcare costs associated with studded tires weighs significantly higher. Your life is considered much more expendable in the US as well, so of course they say you shouldn’t use studded tires on ice… whereas our government research institute says you absolutely should.

I also assume the US uses really cheap asfalt or something? Or because of higher speed limits? Worse driving styles: intensive speed changes instead of calm tempo driving? Despite like 65% of cars using studded tires here, I’ve seen less road work here in my entire life than during a single year in the US. Dunno.

Doesn’t work anymore because “money = good/powerful/special”. You use Linux because you’re a cheapskate, not because Microsoft is shit. Etc.

How’s that good news? It sounds like they are just double-dipping…

Did you also go to imagefap and shit brix?

But they’re invisible, so don’t waste your time looking for them.

I’m not active in much mainstream social media, but I’m not aware of many people who attack normal Russian citizens, especially when they’re complaining about their government? It feels like a bad-faith premise basically.

I’ve never been a fan of the whole «А у вас негров линчуют» rhetoric. Is it not possible to fuck America, fuck Russia, and fuck the so-called state of Israel?

I dunno, maybe because strawman comics are really tiresome?

So cringe that it becomes dapper.

There are bottles as well, but it’s not as common. And they’re factory-produced bottles that are tamper resistant – not like those orange ones in the US. So it’s basically the same safety as blisters, other than its easier for the patient to spill.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think most of the groundwork for this situation is from EU Directive 2001/83/EC. Medical products need to have a lot of information provided, and it just gets simpler to have boxes with blisters to meet all the requirements, and gives safety at the same time.

I can’t imagine how hectic it must be for pharmacy techs in the US. Despite requiring 5 years of school to be a pharmacist here, the job is basically being a glorified cashier… Unless the person has any questions, you simply check their ID, check in the national registry that enough time has passed since their last collection (particularly if it’s a controlled substance), collect a package from the shelf, print out a label to put on the box (containing their name, doctor, dosage, instructions), scan the label and package, collect payment, and that’s it.
