You can! Just go to the "place you buy earbuds" settings page and select "wired earbuds". After I did that, the annoying warnings went away, and my earbuds gained infinite battery life!

You will pry these wired earbuds out of my cold dead ears!

They're feared by most animals because most animals (humans included) aren't willing to risk a fight unless they need to, while geese have a solid intimidation game, and make to believe that they're big and strong and will fight you.

A 5 kg dog can also scare off plenty of people. That doesn't mean an average grown person can't punt it across the yard if push comes to shove. Plenty of videos out there show what happens when one of these animals actually goes after someone's kid... the kid usually ends up fine to put it that way.

China: Conducts exercises simulating the invasion of Taiwan

China: "We intend to invade Taiwan"

Western media outlet: "China may be preparing to invade Taiwan"

China: "This is western propaganda. Why would you spread such lies?

What makes torx crap? Unlike hex, you can still screw them in if your screwdriver is at an angle, which can be really convenient if you're working at odd angles.

Exactly! There's also the significant point that you could get bit in the process of kicking away said dog, and the bite could give you an infection, which all comes back to why we (like most animals) will go very far to avoid a physical altercation.

Basically, fighting shit can be dangerous, even in situations where you easily come out on top 10/10 times. That doesn't mean the fucking chihuahua has a chance.

Yeah but with torx I don't need an extra bit to handle that, it's just a built in feature of the bit. It also doesn't answer why torx apparently sucks? "Hex can also do that if you have a special bit" doesn't make torx any worse.

Well that's great until you want more torque (with the long side of the handle) or you're working in a space where only the short side fits in where the screw is, or you want to attach said bit to a drill. It's pretty common for bit-sets to just have ordinary (straight) hex bits rather than the rounded ones.

This bothered me too much, I caught it here so you don't have to.

I was thinking the same thing! Those expressions are so real and intense... I rarely see a painting that hits home like this one does.

Wasn't that Charles Proteus Steinmetz fixing a generator at one of Fords factories? "1 $ for the piece of chalk, 9,999 $ for knowing where to put the mark".

Search for "Ford" on the linked page to see the story as given there :)

To be fair, it doesn't have to be mind games, she could have been in a bad place and somehow figured out for herself that the best thing to do was to end the relationship, but realised that she was wrong. There are people who genuinely believe that they can make other peoples lives better by leaving them (a kind of "you would do better without me, I'm only pulling you down" mentality), that could do something like this not to manipulate the other person, but because they actually care about them, but are in a bad place themselves.

I write a lot of Python. I hate it when people use "X is more pythonic" as some kind of argument for what is a better solution to a problem. I also have a hang up with people acting like python has any form of type safety, instead of just embracing duck typing.This lands us at the following:

The article states that "you can check a list for emptiness in two ways: if not mylist or if len(mylist) == 0". Already here, a fundamental mistake has been made: You don't know (and shouldn't care) whether mylist is a list. These two checks are not different ways of doing the same thing, but two different checks altogether. The first checks whether the object is "falsey" and the second checks whether the object has a well defined length that is zero. These are two completely different checks, which often (but far from always) overlap. Embrace the duck type- type safe python is a myth.

Just read I the Norwegian news that two air bases in Murmansk (near the Norwegian border) were hit. If anything, this kind of strike hammers home how our support for Ukraine directly makes us safer as well.

These are planes that likely would have been used against Norway in the event of a war. Support for Ukraine is directly helping destroy equipment that otherwise could be used to attack us. We just need more people to understand this so we can get popular support for increasing our support a hundredfold.

At this point I really can't understand what is driving Orban anymore. He obviously must have known this would happen, and is likely doing it on purpose so that he can point at the EU as the "bad guy" back home, but like... what does he gain from this? Isn't it better to just get a shitload of free money from the EU that you can funnel to your friends and family than to not do that? If he legitimately dislikes the EU he can just leave.

Maybe he's just sticking around as long as he can grab cash? It kind of seems like he's going for the "see how far you can push it before you're kicked out" play. Essentially trying to find out how much of an obstructing, law-breaking, corrupt asshole he has to be before the rest of the EU finally has enough and kicks him out, at which point he can peace out to some safe-haven (I've heard there are spare rooms in some of Putins palaces).

There's a reason the press is often referred to as "the fourth branch of government". Journalists that do their job properly are absolutely critical to the proper functioning of a democracy.

Wait? These people were having unsupervised exams with access to their phone and now they see that they need to do something? I mean, the numbers speak for themselves when 45% of students say they were aware of an "honor code violation" during their time as students. I was at uni for five years, and I literally don't know about a single case of cheating on exams among my peers.

Seems to me that cheating was already rampant, they just found a new excuse to do something about it.

To be clear by the way: Our exam "supervision" literally consisted of some pensioned seniors that got paid to come in for a day to hand out exam papers, receive and archive your response, and otherwise just hang around in the exam hall so people wouldn't feel safe just blatantly bringing notes or their phone.

If I was religious, I probably wouldn't be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign...
