My washing machine has a wheel to select multiple, heat-specific programs but also has a “cold” switch for other programs. I seldom use the heat specific ones, unless I’m particularly interested in a hot wash.
So I guess that the mileage may vary by country (I’m in Spain) and how old a washing machine is (mine is quite old).
There are other countries that also rely on Amazon services. Mationalizing the company would be a major diplomatic and economic blow to the USA.
I first thought it was a paradise parasite of some kind, but I ended up understanding it’s a perfectible sensible conversation between a conscious pre-born and their mother, where the former jokes about using their mother as a suit that repurposes every drop of moisture into their body.
Not knowing much of Dune, this led to me reading quite a lot of resources online.
I was just scrolling in the World feed and thinking of how true this advice is, and that I should make more garlic bread. Then your comment hit with a different perspective that makes somewhat sense.
I played Dota games circa 2010, and I was decent. My most preferred game was Heroes of the Storm because it felt more streamlined and team based than Dota, and this has caused me to lose so many skills like lane control (kills/denials) and item management.
Is there any way of getting those skills back? Any resources where it may explain each role (carry, ganker, etc) with a few characters in detail? Any game I’ve played in turbo or otherwise has resulted in showing my incompetence 😂
At some point you learn to cope. “esta mañana”, “el día de mañana”, “mañana por la mañana”…
Spanish has two: de día roughly “by daytime” and un dia exactly “a day”.
In places like Spain, there are different energy plans and some do include “Peak” and “Valley” price variances. Peaks are high demand, like when cooking dinner, “Valley” are the opposite.
I have an electric kettle of ~1.6L capacity. I fill it with the minimum 0.5L and it boils in less than a minute.
If you’re using a stove kettle, I understand why Microwaves can be faster, but outright saying so is a bit of an exaggeration.
Not trying to defend Russia, but the concept of a Pyrrhic Victory has existed for quite some time.
There’s a tiny game called Loop Hero where your hero goes on a literal loop around the world, facing enemies as they go and while you craft a world of out existence. Pretty fun.
It seems that Meta is low-key following the “everything app” goal that Elon Musk wanted for Twitter/X, tying products like WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads while at the same time distancing themselves from the Facebook brand.
For example, WhatsApp is a chat app that has been enhanced to have Business Accounts, which allows for Bots, Stores and Payments. Further integration with Instagram could potentially use these features to tie together content+business. Threads is an enhancement over Instagram to add textual content.
Not OP, but wren sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Apple won, Epic lost.
Man, this takes me back to Microsoft enforcing IE, then losing a trial and having a mandated-for web browser catalog when first launching IE.
Google deserves this, if not potentially more, as they’ve become so huge.
No idea, but my bet is either they don’t, or they do but could fill more important positions.
I like maps, but I like most of those things too. :)
While personally against the loss of the ban, this reminds me of when I once heard that, from a purely economic point of view with no regards for human life, tobacco and other unhealthy products are a net positive for the economy.
The reasoning is that people who smoke will die younger, usually after their “productive lifetime” has concluded (where they consume more than they produce), thus being a burden to the state less time.
This is the same way of thinking as people who throw trash into the streets, saying they’re benefiting the local economy because it has to employ more sanitisation personnel. Which is stupid.
While PDX-published games may suffer from the decouplement of features between DLCs, at the very least PDS-developed games have a built-up expertise when it comes to managing this.
As for MMO model, it’s a hard sell because purchased things get made “free” for new comers. It’s one of the crux that EU4 faced when they rolled many DLC features into the base game.
