Wow, that site is borderline magical.

Anyway, it’s funny to see how big companies can’t handle the global nature of today’s economy or even the global nature of the Internet.

When saving a file in Word, Excel or whatever, the process looks some thing like this.

ctrl+s

“Save this file” dialogue appears, and it expects I want to dump everything into the root of OneDrive. Well, I don’t.

“Choose location” has some folders, none of which are what I want, because I tend to save my files pretty deep in the tree. Everything has a logical place, you know. I’m not one of those people who have a thousand files and 500 GB on the desktop. I like it neat and tidy.

Click “more options”. Now I can finally navigate to the specific folder I want. If you realize you actually need to create a new folder, this dialogue box isn’t for you. In order to do that, you need to go to “browse” where you’ll get the normal file dialogue box.

Can’t I just jump straight to the browse menu when I press ctrl+s? You know, like the way normal applications do it. Just try to save a file with Inkscape to see what I mean.

Are we confined to only finite positive values? If so, are there upper or lower limits? I’m kinda curious about how the game would go with a ball smaller than a spec of dust. Or how about a court twice the size of the observable universe?

Densities can get very interesting too if the ball collapses under its own mass into a singularity? Or how about a ball with neutron star density without the gravity to push it together? This is getting into the what if territory again.

Oh, and then they tell me about some window with some warning text on it. My first question is: Who is asking? Is it something Windows is asking you? Is it some other app? Is it a fake ad on a website. Context matters a lot, and some people don’t seem to know that context even exists.

You could also say that scientists are currently working on general purpose AI, cold fusion, nanobots, space elevator, warp drive, teleportation and the Dyson sphere. Just because something is centuries or millennia away, doesn’t mean we can’t research it today.

So many videos don’t even use the picture for anything useful. You can go for a walk and just listen to the audio part instead, and you won’t miss anything essential. Just leave the phone in your pocket while you walk to the train station or something. It’s really surprising how many videos work perfect well as background content like that.

Well, I’m still waiting for the graphene solar panels, cold fusion, flying cars, drone deliveries, metal nanoparticle engines, healing nano bots and what not.

I wonder if we’re going to build a Dyson sphere before some of those other things become a reality.

It was 2020, so it got pretty wild.Nothing was unimaginable at the time.

How about: “UV exposure causes eye injury and sunburn for Bored Ape NFT enthusiasts”

Read the history of the Pirate Bay. That should give you some ideas how to make a site that is reasonably resistant to laws and governments.

X also a terrible search term. Searching for an article with the word Twitter in it should work a lot better.

Hydrogen really really doesn’t want to be solid, so doing that requires extremely low temperatures. Seems pretty cool, but inconvenient.
