  • On the other hand, when I was learning English this was the weirdest thing to me. What do you mean you have a gender neutral pronoun and it's not acceptable to use it to refer to someone we don't know the gender of?

  • 1.2 Å

  • I don't know if you're memeing but for anyone else, it's angstrom (Ångström originally, but the Swedish spelling is not needed or appreciated anymore >:( ), or 0.1 nm, 10^-10 m

  • Honestly subreddit simulator was amazing. At that time I was super into text generation, I programmed a few basic Markov chains as well. It is a shame that modern generative AI sucked the joy out of what I considered a fun toy at the time.

  • Not an American, but here's how I see it: It's ammo.

    To Trump supporters, deporting immigrants is seen as a good thing that he's doing. But they also usually have a staunch anti-LGBTQ stance. Trump blowing a dude, regardless of if this bubba is or isn't Bill Clinton, goes pretty hard against their stances. If there's ever plausible evidence, it might be what makes Trump supporters see him for what he is to the rest of the world: a bumbling, lying idiot.

    Putin potentially having such evidence further escalates this into yet another indicator that Trump might be playing his nation into Russia's hands.

  • After a while you need to stop caring about the overall plot (which is pretty interesting on its own, but that is like drip fed to you) and start enjoying the arcs individually. Usually the structure is that they get to a new island, get to know the inhabitants and their culture and individual characters, the crew finds a mystery, problem or conspiracy, and they help the inhabitants. Quite often there are also multi-island plots that tie up all the plots of each individual island.

    Admittedly the solution is always inevitably "Luffy punches the bad guy really hard in the face" while the rest of the characters are usually busy punching the bad guy's underlings, but since you end up liking both the main characters and the characters they meet in each island (and the relatively rare but much beloved recurring characters), you don't mind it as much.

  • Yeah, I'm always surprised at how common the opinion "one piece gets good after 50 episodes" is. One piece was pretty fun from the very start to me. Later episodes actually get worse for me because of how much they drag. I had to switch over to One Pace in dressrosa because I thought the actual plot was amazing, but I couldn't handle the pace of the actual show.

  • I once tried Valorant, recommended by a friend. I liked it but the community didn't like me (since I suck), so I didn't play more.

    Trying to uninstall it was such a mess that I think the kernel level anti cheat was in my windows install until I got rid of said windows install

  • Those you mentioned are pretty family friendly, I think. I'd add GoodTimesWithScar, he's pretty wholesome.

    To add to this comment, I'm over 30 and still can't resist binging a few episodes once in a while, particularly Mumbo Jumbo's Redstone magic. Don't feel the need to watch everyone. I usually stick with Mumbo Jumbo and then when someone else builds something really cool I hop onto their video and watch a few episodes, like when Scar built the death star, or then when Grian showed Scar his secret temple I went to watch him build it. (... I had significantly more free time at that time due to life circumstances)

  • Banana

    Jump
  • In Portugal, it's very common to find bananas from the Madeira islands being sold in stores, even in like our equivalent of Walmart or Carrefour.

    They're like half the length of a Cavendish, a bit more tasty, but still very similar. I very much prefer them.

    I know it's not as exotic as your selection but it was something I was able to eat regularly and pretty accessibly there

  • Ah, not to worry, even professionally it's very common to buy your wafers. I am on mobile data right now so I'll check out those videos later!

    Basically, every single machine that needs a vacuum chamber - so almost all non-wet processes, like physical/chemical vapor deposition, reactive ion etching, scanning electron microscopy (although a good optical microscope will do if you're not at the nano scale... Which is almost certainly the case if you're doing things at home).

    Honestly maybe I'm just too used to the lab setting and am underestimating how much you can actually do without vacuum processing. I'll take a look later: this all looked so out of the reach of an ordinary person that I never even considered following content creators who do this. Thank you!

  • Wait, I work in cleanrooms professionally. Fabricating my own semiconductors at home always seemed like a cool idea, but really out of reach. I kind of always wanted to keep old machines from the labs I worked at, but with such expensive things they never threw anything away (of course)!

    Isn't it prohibitively expensive and/or noisy? What type of projects do you do?
