Also in English, there’s Rosa, Marigold, and Iris (though Marigold might be a color rather than a flower?)

Also getting hit broadside by a horse traveling 70mph does it too.

Anything that custom-fits something. I do a bunch of functional prints, mostly things that are specific to something I own. I printed my wife a phone holder sized to fit her phone and case, I printed wall mounted holders for my remote and keyboard for my HTPC, and I recently upgraded to a larger printer that I used to create custom drawer organizers that fit exactly the things I need. I’ve also used it to print replacement parts for things, replacements for missing pieces, etc.

Google has been pushing developers toward using app bundles instead of APKs. The actual APK you get is specific to your hardware.

The easiest way to get an APK is to ask the developer. If that’s not an option, you can consult a search engine—there are plenty of sites that distribute them (though there’s no way of verifying their integrity).

Do you have permission to upload the APK? What app is it?

I’ve worked with lots of college students in my time. One thing I recommend to them is to pick classes based on the instructor, not based on the course content (something I wish someone had told me).

A good instructor can make any topic engaging and enjoyable. And people have different preferences for how information is conveyed (for example, I gravitate toward instructors that use diagrams and other visual aids, it works best for me). So look around until you find someone that really clicks with you.

The other thing that works for me is having some sort of end goal. I find it easier to stay engaged when I get to do something meaningful with what I’m learning.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to learn more about these topics? Understanding your motivation might help to figure out something that works for you.

Turns out most of it is bigger, but still not easily visible (I was definitely one of the people that thought it was giant heaps).

the patch is a widely dispersed area consisting primarily of suspended “fingernail-sized or smaller”—often microscopic—particles in the upper water column known as microplastics.[4]

While microplastics dominate the area by count, 92% of the mass of the patch consists of larger objects. Some of the plastic is over 50 years old, and includes items (and fragments of items) such as “plastic lighters, toothbrushes, water bottles, pens, baby bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and nurdles”.

Wikipedia

Anyone can get it if you go find the island of it floating around in the Pacific Ocean (I think?).

🫥 Their “repository” is a OneDrive folder copied from the last guy’s laptop

Response from Israel’s president: “lol no”

I’ve been daily driving CachyOS for a while now. It’s fast, and I like the rolling release model. It pretty much worked with my 4070 out of the box I believe, I don’t think I had to do anything special there. I started with Cinnamon as my DE, but eventually moved to Gnome (Cinnamon still uses X11 I believe, and there were things that just worked better with Wayland, and with a handful of extensions, I can get it to look the way I like).

That being said, I wouldn’t recommend it to people less comfortable with Linux. CachyOS has its own repositories (which is the whole idea, the software is compiled specifically for more modern hardware), but it can sometimes be confusing when choosing packages to install. The wiki is pretty helpful though, especially with getting games up and running.

Capitalism. To a capitalist, the internet is another domain to squeeze until the last penny drops. Big corporations like Google don’t care about the internet being useful to people, they have only one objective: make number go up. And if that means smashing the web to pieces, you can guarantee they’ll try.

Check out Simon Tatham’s Puzzles for inspiration. Mostly logic and puzzle games, but they seem in line with what you’re thinking.

Joke’s on you, Hobbes. I was gonna love you anyway.

Seems dangerous to open your mouth while rinsing shampoo. I too like to live life on the edge.

How long is your pre-rinse? Are you covered in thick wool or something? Are you naturally water-repellant?

In the sink like a sane person. How is brushing teeth in the shower saving you time?

How does a programming joke cause me physical pain?

Awww, all the knooks are already gone…
