I saw this clip on eBaumsworld when I was like 12 and was overjoyed that we had finally done it and all the climate change stuff I learned about wasn’t going to be a problem.

McDonald’s specifically is famously a real estate company that happens to serve burgers on the side. The corporation owns all of the land that its franchises are sitting on, so they can park a restaurant on it and sell it for a profit after the land appreciates in value.
In addition to moving away from marketing directly to children, the reason a lot of fast foot restaurants are rebranding to look like grey cubes is to make the buildings more generic and therefore more valuable as commercial real estate.
We’ve all seen the local Mexican restaurant that definitely used to be a Pizza Hut. This is to avoid that.
I used to teach AP physics to kids on the weekends. One asked me why Farads were so big. I had to explain that there’s a fixed ratio between Farads, Volts, and Joules. One of them had to be crazy big or crazy small.
See also Coulombs.
Caps are especially scary because they can develop their own charge through static electricity, so large value caps are often shipped with their terminals tied together.
MJ Should be way more bloodshot/glossy
Love seeing that leash in a public park!
Not so much overheating as dropout. Batteries lose both energy capacity and power capacity over time. If you draw too much current from an older battery, its voltage will drop significantly and possibly prematurely shut down the phone.
Lowering peak current (by slowing down the phone), can prevent your phone from shutting off while it still has like 20% capacity left.
Considering Apple was doing battery replacements for like $60 (before bumping to $100), and this was a setting that could be turned off, I think the only real crime was enabling it by default and not properly informing users.

A lighter does not have the precision to do it unless you are insanely lucky.
Some people don’t have access to decent tasting tap water and bottled water is expensive.
Tip: If your water tastes like chlorine, just fill a pitcher and put it in the fridge. Whatever chemicals they use will off gas overnight and it’ll taste great in the morning.

Or is it yet another example of social decay, that parents can’t even discipline/raise their kids well enough to allow them outside without leashes?
From what I’ve heard, the expectations of behavior for children in public spaces has gotten a lot more strict. People generally have very little patience for your kid’s antics. Also fewer mothers are dedicated homemakers, and when time and energy are tight, a leash might be a good bandaid.
Mario taking a nap basically anywhere in Mario64 is cute.
I think that’s kind of the thing. They can’t physically make the camera any smaller, but they assume you’re going to make the phone thicker with a case. So it’s a compromise based on customer preference.
Highly recommend the When Phones were Fun series.
9·27 days agoI wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That’s basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of “this is your longest streak in the past <time period>” or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

Zoomers are prime draft age for WWIII and it’s a popular haircut among them.
