I like using Firefox, but it’s a bit ironic to have google analytics tracking on the page you declare to protect the users privacy.

More on the Computerphile side, especially the timezone one.

In case you have missed, there’s a second channel where he tried stuff, like stage fighting, with guests.

Tom Scott has also done a lot of hilarious stuff with his mates.

Also Matt Gray (that face from that image from that video) has started doing a new series of trying cool stuff, like road painting.

Also previously he bought a soft-serve ice cream machine for a while and tried what ingredients would work in it.

Ok, thank you. I’ll look into those.

Thanks, I found that myself also and keep in mind. I briefly tried Jolt in the test scene I made for the glitch and it seemed to work more consistently.

It’s a bit hard to reliably reproduce, but when I knock down the boxes on their broad side, there’s usually at least one exhibiting this behavior. https://github.com/Walop/godot-physics-glitch

Fun fact: US has so weak food counterfeit laws and enforcement it has become the dumping ground for low quality oil or even mixed, making it an allergy hazard. If you haven’t gone out of your way to ensure you are getting the real deal, and paid a premium for it, you probably have never tasted genuine extra virgin olive oil. https://www.mashed.com/281801/the-real-reason-your-olive-oil-is-probably-fake/

Half as Interesting explained how it ended up like this. https://piped.video/watch?v=_Bq-6GeRhys

TL;DW; Amazon tried to offload vetting of the third party vendors to the patent and trademark office by requiring their brands are registered, but the vendors ended up generating nonsense brand names that automatically pass because there are too many applications and the names aren’t obviously going to conflict with existing ones.

That is exactly what happened with third pound burgers.

That’s the difference, they hoard wealth and not currency. The value of assets do not go down when currency loses its value with inflation.

Wealthy have little to no cash that would lose value with inflation, they just buy everything on credit and have their wealth tied to assets and investments that probably gain value at least at the pace of inflation.

That is also a thing and explains the most vivid ones you only remember when something startles you back to fully awake.

But mostly I meant for me it greatly varies by the situation and what I am trying to imagine.

An apple right now? Five

Millennium Falcon when I’m about to sleep? 1-3

Can I control my imagination enough to go through all the motions of a bolt action rifle reload cycle? No

Yes, I do. A lot. Starting from elementary school when a class mate had a really weird pronunciation of Harry Potter.

Some of my embarrassing memories aren’t even something I did, but something I cringed hard at when I saw or heard it. Sometimes I am so afraid someone else is going to embarrass themself I have to block my ears so I don’t hear it.

“smart” devices aka Internet asbestos

The smallest circle should be half way out, because a lot gets misunderstood.

I have become so clumsy with the wires, it was less wasteful for me to buy wireless earbuds with wire only between them. The modern codecs are high quality and I only use them outside, so the nuance would be anyway lost.

Smart speakers I do not have. I feel weird talking to devices and I would have to do it in English because they support my native language poorly if at all. I’m not sure if they even are officially available here.

Everything unnecessarily connected to the Internet should have this on them, because they have very little security auditing and all support is dropped very early on the lifetime of the appliance. https://kissa.depili.fi/internet_asbestos_52x32_cmyk.pdf

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

I had The Hex a few years even installed, so I have tried it, but only after getting familiar with the style of Daniel Mullins’ games with Inscryption I pushed far enough to get interested. Still very clunky, but worth it.
