the exploding has nothing to do with this throttling tho.

i noticed that in the OP too and it confused me a bit. then i noticed the dark corner bottom left, which is probably a bit of the wall of the dark room the picture was taken out of. that’s why the photographer isn’t in the reflection.

i’ve seen one, where the plane stalled after taking off and then kinda went backwards, then dove frontal again. if i remember correctly, unsecured cargo was suspected. it fell like a leaf.

i know this from my grandma (other grandma didn’t even want to talk about it): it started out okayish, but soon things became super strict. lots of propaganda films. nazi stuff crept into everything. school etc… books got burned. different opinions forbidden. no free speech. misogyny. disabled ppl were killed. ppl were afraid to be suspected of anything. trials weren’t fair, if you even got one. the nazis printed money and inflation started to suck. many businesses were nationalised. slave workers were being used, taking peoples jobs.

then the war started. every familiy lost someone. bombs were dropped on cities. ppl had to go into bunkers often. (my grandma barely made it once and shrapnell hurt her hand.) at peak wartime men had to have 8 kids to not be conscripted as cannon fodder. ppl became even more poor than before the war, because many male workers were gone. brutal inflation. kids stepped on mines while playing. at that point the last idiot knew hitler was a loony, but almost nobody dared say anything, because it meant very likely torture and death.

when the US troops arrived, it was a big relief. finally ppl could speak their mind again. women flocked to the US troops, because there had been a general lack of men. many women were young widows, too. my grandma was very young, so nobody actually told her, but she suspected women wearing multiple US wrist watches were paid like that by US troops for sex.

hyprland is okayish. it has no window titles you can use to control it one handed with a pointing device, which is very backwards. a top feature is a layer that goes in front of everything. the customization options aren’t that many. it tries to be minimalistic but with effects.

Gnome themes and extensions have more customization options, but it’s a huge mess. it offers tiling with an extension called Forge. This would also be an alternative.

Wayfire is also cool, but hard to set up. For some users, after installing, it’s just an empty desktop without even a pointer. It needs utility apps and proper config.

back then you were also able to obtain foreign news via radio or some foreign newspapers. on airports and big train stations you could usually get foreign newspapers and magazines. also, it was expected of reporters to be as objective as possible most of the time. the shit fox and others pull nowadays was absolutely faux pas until like the 70s and was less bad until like mid 90s.

idk why you have that feeling, but maybe it helps to remember all this info was available too, but it took longer to get it. for example, you got the news only via radio, tv and newspaper and had to keep track of time to watch it or go buy a newspaper with news from yesterday. you could get media from the library or shops, like record stores etc… you could buy maps in certain places and there were usually public maps in towns. to message someone you had multiple options, for example telegraph them. many homes had compact encyclopedia describing most known things in short. if your home didn’t have this, you could ask neighbours or check with schools or libraries.

maybe that feeling is projected impatience. maybe it’s frustration with how slow and complicated things were.

An antenna can absolutely send and receive at the same time. It’s called duplex .

It’s also used in German. AFAIK this kind of math wording is latin based.

it could mean many things, for example, it could be a troll, a shared account, a person with some weird mental disorder/illness and/or a notorious liar.

these solutions have the side effect of making the bots stay on your site longer and generate more traffic. it’s not for everyone.

oh the terror of a blocked road. i think his wording is a bit off

i do this when the word(s) before the punctuation should be easy to copy+paste, like “did you install figlet ?” so they don’t accidentally get the question mark into the copied text

i do this when writing in a hurry on my phone

old games animations were sometimes made frame by frame. like the guy who drew the character pixel by pixel was like “and in the next frame of this attack the sword will be here”

i didn’t try bamboo yet, but the wood handles of the ones i tried a few years ago, wasn’t as smooth as plastic, especially when wet. this made my lips move with it, making it difficult to keep the foam in the mouth and can hurt.

the bristles were from pigs/boars. they started out hard, but became increasingly soft while brushing. that was a bit annoying, but managable. it’s unfortunate they’re not vegan tho.

in my region i couldn’t yet get bamboo ones with soft bristles, which i need. that’s why i couldn’t try them yet. i saw some labelled “hard” at the store tho. gonna keep an eye on that

i suspect that area is visible for the cashier and the little camera dome under the ceiling in the background

there’s so much that can replace it. tinfoil with or without cardboard, waxed paper or cellophane, wood for throwaway utensils, etc…

i suspect the biggest problem is toothbrushes. the ones made from animal hair and wood are barely usable and we have 8 billion people grinding plastic against their teeth multiple times each day and rinsing the particles out with water. this can’t be good.

ppl sometimes ask where i’m from, assuming i’m not native. i use the opportunity to fool them a bit, by pointing in the direction of my birthplace and say “from over there”. they assume i misunderstood and rephrase and i can reveal that i really was born just a few kilometers in that direction. i really enjoy doing that, because i think its absolutely irrelevant and inadequate to ask. foreigners will reveal where they’re from when they’re ready. some ppl didn’t come for fun and being reminded of their origins can trigger bad/sad memories they’re not ready to handle.
