I live in the city, but with the ebike I now can also go to the surrounding country side. I still like the helmet there, because shade for the head and a lot less sweat in my face. And it’s not a high end helmet, it is a cheap one from Aldi.

I’ve been riding bikes for more than 50 years and never wore a helmet. Now I got an ebike - and a helmet. And I actually like it. It provides a bit of shade, the airflow is still good (it has many air holes), and it keeps almost all sweat from running down my face.

Wikipedia says:

Both the common name and the species name refer to the six small white spots on the beetle’s metallic-green to metallic-blue-green elytra. This is not always the case, however, as some individuals may have more spots, fewer spots, or none at all, presumably due to genetic variation.

I don’t know how you ended up on a page for a Taiwanese marketplace and didn’t realise it.

But on the other hand the official customs page doesn’t have anything about animal products.

Are you not allowed to ask questions? Are the people who write the specs your team mates or are they your enemy? Of course you can play dumb, but that might result in your colleagues thinking that you are dumb.

The vertical bar (pipe) and broken bar are not the same symbol. Wikipedia has a whole section about it (“Solid vertical bar versus broken bar”). Only the pipe character can be used for pipes in Linux/Windows/Mac terminals.

But Admiral Patrick (sorry, I still don’t know how to link/tag users) wrote he has to scan and email the physical signature from the paper, so it is not really physical anymore? Maybe he has to send the physical paper by snail mail in addition to the email.

have to print, sign, scan, and email back

Can’t you scan or photograph your signature and insert it in your word processor?

I hit a similar bug today where I had used

SYSDATE - NUMTOYMINTERVAL(2, 'year')

in Oracle. I don’t remember why I didn’t use sysdate - 2*365 instead, which works without problems for my use case (I don’t care about one day more or less). But I would have appreciated if the compiler or the IDE would have yelled at me.

Nova Launcher (7) works without problems on my Pixel 8 Pro. On my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gestures with Nova were broken somehow, but now with the Pixel it’s fine again.

HTTP3 uses UDP, which is 6 years younger than TCP.

When I got my Pixel 8 Pro it asked me if I want to convert the physical SIM from my Xiaomi 9 SE (and disable the old SIM). I didn’t have to take off the case and move the SIM, so I liked it.

I use Firefox on Linux, Windows (at work), and Android, and I like it.

The underscore is used to underline text in Markdown. If you want to display a real underscore like this: _, you have to escape it with a backslash. Some clients apparently interpret this rule even in plain links, and some don’t. If we use real Markdown links this should not happen.

Don’t most microwaves have a rotating plate?

And other countries didn’t have parts shortage etc?

the responsible minister claimed it’s an immense task and will take til autumn. It will  only include 16 product categories (think flour, milk,etc.). And it will only be updated once a week.

I mean that’s pretty pathetic. Better than nothing, but “only updated once a week” sounds like “the intern who has to enter the prices works only for 20 hours”, not like they created an API and told the grocery chains to upload their prices.

You could type the model of your phone and “audio adapter” or “3.5mm adapter” into a search engine. Maybe the phone already comes with an adapter.

Or you could use one of these fancy battery-less keyboards and mice.
