ah, maybe it only defaults to it on web

i honestly really like dymaxion because it’s a nice aspect ratio and keeping the landmasses all together just feels right.

And it doesn’t even look strange if you just remove the ocean

except that continents quite plainly aren’t just about landmasses, they’re defined by culture as well. Hence why most people these days consider “oceania” a continent, and why india and the middle east don’t really fit smoothly into any standard continent.

i mean, i’d say the lack of tube lines is the bigger issue

what? google maps absolutely has a globe view when you zoom out

to large parts of the world that’s just normal english, and implies absolutely nothing about ones fluency since we learn english in school and y’all have culturally colonized us to the degree that our fucking advertisements are in english these days.

my first thought was that it’s a euphemism, like the architects have to be smacked in the head pre-emptively so they stop making dumb designs

while “sabbath mode” does indeed seem to be real, i cannot imagine this is something that sees any serious amount of usage, and i’d imagine most rabbis would tell you it’s kind of silly because the point of sabbath is to not do work, and these appliances specifically exist so we don’t have to do work.

If you start considering “putting food in the microwave and turning a dial to start it” as violating sabbath, you quite obviously then also can’t go around turning door handles or using keys, or taking on/off clothes, or filling a glass of water, etc etc etc

this is why i stick to cheapo devices unless there’s a specific feature in expensive ones that i want: they generally achieve the low cost by making a minimum viable product, which thus lacks all the complex nonsense and is often pretty repairable as a bonus.

Power dial, time dial. All a microwave or an air fryer needs.

what do you mean you don’t want an LLM built into the kernel that controls the scheduler?

oh, boy… two cakes?..

well maybe that’s why they didn’t come to Hawking’s party, they’d have to strip him and it’s not like he has use for a motorcycle.

that’s why the parents build the nest among antennas, they confuse predators

ah, the democrats

it would frankly be dumb not to throw the party, because at worst you just have a bit of a weird boring party, and at best you meet some fucking time travellers

get one of those brushing gloves, 5 minutes of vigorous pets and you’ve halved the volume of the cat
