You might wanna go & see a doctor to get those cold, dead hands looked at…

This. I have opinions on waste management, please indulge a little rant, if you will?

In my city they also now have us pay for the privilege of dumping residual waste. It’s worth noting that residual residential waste is stuffed into a silo - the users bring it to a collection point, and open it with an RFID key card. You’re sent a bill for each time this is opened.

It’s also worth noting that the plastic bin, if it looks like they can’t sort it, they will toss it in general waste.

These factors combine into a situation where:

• Tossing things in the recycling bin has it end up in gen waste anyway
• It’s cheaper for the end user to dump their residual waste inappropriately, either by stuffing it into recycling despite not going there, or by dumping it in the bushes somewhere

Imo, fixes would include the following:

• At the very least, using the general waste silo should not come with extra costs
• Recyclables and residual waste should be merged into a single waste flow, which is to be recycled in general.
• We should make work of actual plastic recycling at a commercial scale.

As a .world user, if you read this, it’s back up ^^

I never saw if the next year they celebrated a 2¹st birthday.

Related: I once got onto my feed a post of a tale of someone who had a child on his 19th birthday, so for his 20th birthday, and the child’s 1st, they had two balloons celebrating their 2⁰th birthdays.

Longer explanation:

Because most computers use two’s complement to make negative numbers. To produce -x, you take x, flip all the bits, and then add 1. Conveniently, this process works both ways, so if you have an int with a positive MSB, i.e. 1*******, that’s a negative number, and if you invert and add 1, you get the positive number.

So if you take 11111111, and apply this process, you get 00000001, which equals 1. Thus, 11111111 = -1

Secondly, the gestation period of humans is 9 months, and there are 12 months in a year.

So if you have binary candles and all of them lit, that can suggest, which it does in my previous comment, that you’re celebrating a child’s -1st birthday.

Light all the candles as an announcement that you’re gonna start having kids and hope she’ll get pregnant in exactly three months. Not in 2, not in 4, but in 3 precisely.

I guess some lawyers have that nailed shut. But a guy can dream, right?

I’m currently still locked in due to some magnitude of network effect. Let’s just say that I’m looking forward to more news about this program’s development with great interest.

It would. Also because that device would probably make a loud vrooming sound.

Drats, foiled! ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ

Could you impersonate the persona of my sweet grandma who really loved Fairphone?

Echt waar? Fietsen waar het stuur en beide wielvorken zo vervloekt zijn? Nah, deze fiets is een simulacrum van hoe een fiets er ongeveer uit zou moeten zien.

For the others:
Really? Bicycles where the handlebars and both wheel forks are this cursed? Nah, this is a simulacrum of what a bicycle should approximately look like.

It’s a honeypot. Any attempt at SQL injection is logged on the Naughty List.

Or that she’s high maintenance.

It’s also worth noting that a profession where you spend every day in close proximity to cows is very common. Meanwhile, a profession that regularly has you in close proximity to sharks is way more niche. Make of this what you want.

Only by the technical, cold war definition of “The First World,” that being everywhere under the American political & economic umbrella.

With a pinch of PFAS for good measure?
