What? Windows recognizes a zune as a storage device, no different than an old flash drive. What support is needed for an old mp3 player beyond being able to transfer music?
eh, other truck drivers aren’t much better. biggest takeaway getting my CDL was realizing just how low the standards are to drive a truck
your eyes need to be both moist and oxygenated, the former usually requires blinking
metric is great until you need to do anything practical with it like converting cricket chirps to degrees /s
No living tentacle monsters to fuck but there are plenty of tentacle shaped dildos out there

The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.
Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old
Except when they’re not lying but windows by default has ‘fast-startup’ enabled, so every time they shutdown the uptime never resets.
Or they shutdown and turn it back on, which doesn’t count in windows as restarting unless you disable fast-startup. So you get annoyed tech support thinking the user is a liar and an annoyed end user that knows they turned it off and on again.

1·2 年前the pills feel about as solid as any others, it’s just the foil backing on the blister pack they’re meant to pierce through is damn near bulletproof.
oof, I forgot about cutting pills. those cheap pill cutters are absolutely useless. one trick I found for the pills too small to break by hand is to press them over a small wire, something like a small paperclip straightened out. then set the notch of the pill on there and press down on either side with each thumb. finnicky getting them lined up right, but far cleaner breaks than anything else I’ve ever found. worked better to do them in batches for future use than every time I needed one

185·2 年前I thought this had to be hyperbole, so I did the math myself. I’m assuming human history is 200,000 years as google says, and we want to narrow this down to the second the bike disappeared. also that the bike instantly vanished so there’s no partially existing bike.
each operation divides the time left in half, so to get from 200k years (6.311×10^12 seconds) to 1 would take ~42.58 divisions, call it 43. even if we take a minute on average to seek and decide whether the bike is there or not it would still be less than an hour of manual sorting
hell, at 60fps it would only take another 6 divisions to narrow it down to a single frame, still under an hour
edit: to use the entire hour we’d need a couple more universes worth of video time to sort through, 36.5 billion years worth to be exact. or a measly 609 million years if we need to find that single frame at 60fps



Don’t worry, they’ll name it after the place that discovers it like we did with the Spanish flu that actually came from Kansas
