Apparently red/green colorblindness is the most common. Also, if you pick a dark enough shade of green and a light enough shade of red, they’ll appear the same in black and white. Someone might assume that the darker is red and the lighter one is green and might get it right most of the time, but looking at just one thing by itself you would have nothing to compare to.

For meat eaters, probably sous vide steak with a mayo sear on cast iron, with mashed potatoes (using a ricer to make it 100% smooth) with butter and cream that’s had a bunch of herbs simmering in it (inside a tea steeper so it can all be removed), I also sometimes add flour to the dairy to make a roux or bechamel to kind of follow the Julia Child’s recipe.

Or perhaps spaghetti carbonara with diced pancetta (it might be the oil from the pancetta or the egg/dairy but this can upset stomachs, but the sauce ends up being very creamy and delicious)

For seafood lovers, I love to make creamy New England style clam chowder in my instant pot, which I add fish sauce, soy sauce, old bay, and paprika to, as well as bacon bits if they can have pork. I usually make it thick by mashing the potato bits until it’s about right, and leave the rest of the potatoes as bite sized pieces. This recipe is a mashup of a bunch of clam chowder recipes, trying to find the best unique parts of each one I could find and adding it if it makes mine taste better.

I typically do bar soap, then for acne areas (face and back) I do a benzoyl peroxide wash. It seems a lot gentler then benzoyl peroxide lotions because it gets washed away immediately, but I’ve also used it in low concentration lotions to avoid causing irritation. Then I follow up with hyaluronic acid moisturizer for the face and alpha hydroxy (50% glycolic 50% lactic) for my back, since that’s a harsher chemical exfoliant that I don’t think is recommend for the face.

Before moisturizer, I also use niacinamide serums and lotions that typically have vitamin c, turmeric, and other ingredients for areas with dark spots, and when I’m not due for laser, I’ll use a dark spot correcting bar soap with retinol as well as other retinol products. Those make your skin sensitive to sunlight, so definitely needs to be paused around laser sessions and taking more care to sunscreen when going outside.

It doesn’t always! That’s why I specifically said it assumes the people using the addon are representative of the overall population.

Yes, Return YouTube Dislike made by Dmitry Selivanov basically maintains it’s own like/dislike database using like/dislike data from those using the extension, then applies that ratio to the public number of likes to estimate how many total dislikes there are among everyone including those not using the extension, assuming the data from users using the extension is representative of all people who liked/disliked. Overall it works well enough to tell what people’s sentiment is, and the more people use it, the closer you get to having the actual number of dislikes.

Thanks, relevant snippet:

Mozilla already offers a paid VPN service in partnership with Mullvad. Firefox’s free VPN won’t be using Mullvad’s infra though; it’s hosted on Mozilla servers around the world (if beta testing of the feature done in late 2025 tracks).

Interesting to see VR mentioned. I wonder if it’d be feasible, since wine seems like the place for translation layers, to translate the old oculus sdk (from the DK2 days) to openvr or steamvr. That could enable games that were never updated to modern APIs and to be played, like AAAAA for the awesome, the base jumping game which supports VR, albeit only with the 0.5 or 0.6 version of the beta oculus sdk apparently.

Anyone know what provider the VPN is? Mozilla’s paid VPN is just a mullvad reseller, so it would be cool if the free VPN was mullvad too.

And then there’s me with a 9800x3d with a low profile cooler in a fractal ridge. It only throttles under synthetic tests so I just say fuck it and let it run at whatever temp it wants to run at.

The way I see it is you either frequent a group or game enough to make familiar faces or you bring some existing friends to hang out with. I play terrors a lot and have been in kid-free social groups like Ancients for about a year and have made a few friends.

I feel like this applies to breaking into any social setting, but I think a big thing you can do is just be somewhere regularly with consistency. It only took a few weeks of joining the most populated terrors instance (which is almost always under the group “fusion pilot fan club”) for the regulars to start recognizing me. Groups like Ancients are great kid-free spaces that aren’t specific to any interest, but there’s a lot of other interest-specific options that would speed up the process if you can find one that aligns with your interests, like clubbing groups, probably tons of board game groups, so many worlds have pool, darts chess, and various card prefabs so that’s very popular - I’m 99% sure there’s some chess meetups, movie watching groups (virtual theaters with spatial surround sound are really cool for this), lots of dancing groups because full body tracking can make that really fun, I’m sure anyone else could list more types of groups than me because I mostly play terrors and join ancients to be able to play a few games with full lobbies and no kids.

If it was me I would try re-seating the display cable. That happened to me once after replacing a battery. Might not work so if you do try it, be prepared to do the work of cleaning and re-applying screen adhesive for nothing.

Human biology 😔 time to start biohacking

I think the warning you might be thinking of is that a breaker can fail to pop if an inverter/generator is on the same circuit as a high wattage device. Since some energy would go directly from generation to device, the breaker will only see the “net” energy consumption. So if the generator puts out 1500W and the device decides to draw 3000W, a 15A breaker only sees 1500, and won’t trip even though the device is pulling way too much. If the breaker was sized for the wiring, then the wiring to that outlet could catch fire due to the breaker not tripping. That’s the main reason I know of why a generator or inverter should be on a dedicated circuit, to force the energy out one breaker and in another, so that the breaker can see an accurate measure of energy and trip when necessary.

Generally that’s fine and I agree, but one edge case that people overlook that I think is worth mentioning (and maybe what gp heard about and is trying to articulate) is that having an inverter or generator on the same circuit as a big energy consumer means that the breaker wouldn’t see the total energy being used by the consumer, and so it might not trip even if the consumer pulls too much wattage. That’s the main reason I know of why power sources should be on their own breaker - so it doesn’t hide power from the breaker but forces it to go out the generator circuit breaker and back in the consumer breaker so it can be protected properly.

Yeah I’ve tried those but it seems like such a hack. Weirdly, the one handed “pull screen into reach” doesn’t allow you to swipe down across the notifications bar to open notifications, in that mode it only registers swipes that start from below the notifications bar. And the floating button gets a little unwieldy since it overlaps with the volume popup. And in the “show notifications” mode, the button opens notifications but doesn’t let you close them (once you press it twice for the “control center” it no longer does anything)

Not to mention it doesn’t really help with the phone itself being uncomfortable to hold. I’m trying my best to vote with my wallet, but that has meant sticking with a Pixel 2 up until a few years ago, and the Pixel 5 was my “only 2mm taller” compromise - I completely overlooked the fact that the Pixel 2 screen starts like 1cm from the top while the Pixel 5 screen starts nearly at the top. The Pixel 10a is almost 10mm taller, so I’m not sure if I’ll be sold on it.

I actually bought a OnePlus 6 something (t?) at one point fully intending to give in to a bigger screen but I hated it and returned it.

I don’t use a case and I use Lineage. I’m not really concerned. I already need to crop the top of the screen in developer settings just so that I can reach the notification bar, I’m not really enthusiastic about getting something even bigger.

sad pixel 5 noises

I’ve been waiting for a camera bump free upgrade, the 10a might be it but I’m reluctant to continue up the phone size escalator.

Thank goodness, the new UI is super laggy and unoptimized for large numbers if tabs and it was stuttering every time I opened it.

Usually only the regional imagery sets are from planes, I believe all the global ones are from satellites. But it’s a moot point, the color doesn’t really change the fact that the buildings are completely flattened. No need to prove your credentials 😉

Not necessarily, if you frequently reference satellite imagery like in the open street map community, you’ll notice that colors and saturation cary wildly between satellites, because they use different techniques to get clearer pictures through various atmospheric effects, and some techniques give greyscale output which may just be combined with color data without much regard for aesthetics. For many applications, color is unnecessary, so many sources just don’t bother touching up the colors. It’s totally believable that both images are as-is from their respective sources.
