Samsung had my favorite version of the slide phone with the Samsung Epic 4G Touch Galaxy 2.

I'm willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren't the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don't really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.

It's kind of their whole thing though. It's how NASCAR got started. Without it, it would kill a large part of their tourism.

Tbf, there are American beaches known for being drivable. Specifically, Daytona Beach.

That isn't consistent with K and C though. -K doesn't exist. And water doesn't become more frozen at -C (well I guess it technically becomes different kinds of frozen).

Zero in that sense represents the absolute limit that one could exist in a particular state, which for F would be comfort? I guess the issue with humans is that 0 would be very subjective. But I think for almost all humans, the limit would be closer to 40F than 0F.

Since when are green tomatoes toxic? I eat fried green tomatoes every summer...

I was a bit before I realized it was a pine cone.

The shorts kind of help feel warmer if you are bundled up everywhere else. It focuses the feeling of cold on your legs where it feels less bothersome.

That's why I'm storing up on brown fat in my youth.

It's like a game of chicken where you win by being the last one wearing shorts deep into winter.

Maybe they should be illegal?

One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.

Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there's nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.

Edit: Also, there wouldn't be any NSFW content with the app.

 

As I understand it, superconductors work best at temperatures approaching absolute zero (-273.15C). For example, Google tells me that the superconductor in an MRI operates at -269C.

There has been a lot a buzz lately about room temperature (25C) superconductors being discovered, but why is room temperature the focus? Why not focus on superconductors that work in reasonably cold environments? For example, we can easily get temperatures to -15C in a freezer. Why not create superconductors that work in that temperature range rather than 25C?

 

These are pretty cringe but they did make me chuckle a little. Very reminiscent of the I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads.
