Which cannot connect to a phone unless it’s unlocked, as accepting every USB-C connection carries security risks. They also require negotiation, which can fail at any time, meaning you have to unlock, disconnect, reconnect.

I also have a nice, external (and still cheap) DAC on my computer. It has a headphone jack. This means I need to be able to disconnect the USB-C dongle from my headphones, unless I want to have two separate headphones for my phone and my PC. By extension this requires me to go searching for the dongle from time to time.

I love USB-C. But the headphone jack had what companies and people claim to want: simplicity.

Headphone jacks solved a single but extremly common problem very well. USB-C provides a workaround for it.

Seit wann nutzt die Bahn Software von der DHL?

it even has a tutor

Yeah, people are just lazy. I remember when I invented a new login screen and was told it was “difficult”, “confusing” and “took some getting used to”.

It even came with a free 100-page manual and a 4-hour master class. Some people, I tell you!

^This is meant more as a joke than an actual critique, even if it kind of reflects my thoughts. But ultimatly, I thought it was a funny bit.^

I’m really sorry but that’s straight up misinformation.

B12 is synthesized by certain bacteria. Plants do not create B12. Water does not somehow randomly contain B12. It’s ONLY synthesized by bacteria.

I’m not even saying it’s disgusting. I say it’s easy to supplement. I’m not sure what’s going on, but there seems to be a wild misunderstanding.

If Wikipedia is not for you, here’s a random paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29216732 Please. It’s not in water. It’s not in dirt or floats around in outside air. I’m not saying it’s disgusting. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’m just saying it has to be considered and vegans are more at risk in this particular way, that’s easily treatable.

Nono, I’m refering to the properties of B12 itself.

Its oral absorption is just very poor. Apparently only ~1%. So the doses must be immense. But humans only need miniscule amounts. The solution I use has 20,000% MRV. And most supplements have insanely high doses to solve this problem.

On the other hand: B12 is also available through dairy products or in egg-based foods. So it’s usually only a problem if one is completly vegan and, as stated, easily subverted.

But you have to be aware of it. Because it’s not “always absorbed in tiny amounts” just because you eat something. To quote Wikipedia:

Vitamin B12 is […] the only vitamin that must be sourced from animal-derived foods or supplements.

Also, cool hack:
It’s also bright red and can color drinks. That’s cool.

Except B12 / cobalamin.

B12 is a ass of a nutrient. It doesn’t even get absorbed properly.

But it’s also availible in liquid form. So there’s that - and tastes kinda nice too.

Hallo stipendiat Pelzig.

The initial comment resonated so much with me, that I feel the need to answer, even though I wasn’t even asked: YES

A few years ago I was in a really dark place. I lost 3 kg in 2 months and when I wasn’t at work, I was lying in my bed on the verge of crying, half-listening to YouTube just to scare the thoughts away.

But the thing, that finally got me out of the loop, was getting myself a houseplant, after watching a plant YouTuber for a while. And when I got home, rather than cry, I obsessively cleaned every speck of dust off the leaves, measured the soil moisture with a stick and just watched it be. And something just clicked inside me and I realized that I had found something I wanted to do; probably forever, if given the chance.

Still have the same plant; cut, repotted and propagated. And while I’m at a much better place now - physically, mentally, financially - just thinking about giving that (houseplants) up feels like going back.

It just realized that, as a furry, I really don’t like furry men, only furry men.

What the hell.

KÜHLSCHRANK

Oh, the burden of other peoples thoughts~

I always find it weird when someone asks for my, or answers with their, profession. Because that usually says very little about someone. A better question is what someone likes to spend their free time with.

Most people have something they are passionate about. And the weirder, the better. Because weird hobbies are something that many feel judged for. But engaging positively with someones isopod collection, really tends to get people out of their shell.

It becomes something to bond over and it’s much more interesting than “train conductor”.

1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.

The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.

Und das vom eigenen Sohnemann. Immer diese Jugend von heute…

Bei manchen Kommentaren fragt man sich aber ernsthaft, wer das runterwählt.

Irgendwer schreibt so: “Oh, dankeschön, das hat mir riesig geholfen!”

Und irgendeiner kommt dann an mit: “DANKESCHÖN?! ICH GEB DIR DANKESCHÖN!!!” ↓ >:(

Mein aktueller Liebling ist (paraphrasiert): ‘Pflanzen in der Stadt sind schlecht, weil diese die Luft befeuchten, sodass es schwüler und wärmer wird.’ …gefolgt davon, dass Solarpanele (auf den Dächern) für weniger Bäume (im Wald) sorgen würden.

Und jede Diskussion ist hoffnungslos, weil es nie um eine Klärung der faktischen Lage geht.

meh. :(

Who decided to put a logo with a light blue ring on a light blue background? And without a drop shadow too. Outrageous! Disgusting! Sacrilegious! And the numericals are not vertically aligned with their list items either. Scandalous!

I think people who embrace their own little version of weird are less judgmental and generally happier and more confident.

It becomes an endearing trait, rather than a sore spot.

Oh, nein, nein, dass muss wohl falsch rüber gekommen sein. Ich knickschäme nicht. Ich knick-fickend-frage ihn sich gefälligst zu erklären!

Ich besitze ein Tierkostüm und eine dazu passende Leine. Aber 'nen warmen Sitz zu bevorzugen…

Find ich ja schon schon etwas seltsam.
