Almost evenly blended; between 92% and 96.5% homogeneity—because, well, brain is never completely predictable. This is the second sentence.

Yuuup. Burnout does not mess around. I’m thankful my wife makes enough for us to be stable. Can’t save for anything, but hey.

I’ll also add, besides the obvious public endangerment, street racers are just soooo fricking loud. Noise ordinances exist for a reason, but even where they don’t, nobody likes being woken up by a bunch of metal death boxes screeeaaaming past their window at 3am. (Near me, it’s a posse of motorbikes. I typed that as motorbiles at first. Heh.)

For me it’s usually a case of “That would require explaining so much context that by the time I’m done I will have forgotten the original thought.”

If I understand you correctly, I think “people don’t easily comprehend the significance of increasing orders of magnitude” is a better way to frame it. To use iii’s examples, people perceive a coffee that costs 5 as being 1 unit more than a coffee costing 4. But when comparing two cars costing 40000 and 50000, the human brain tends to just latch on to the most significant digit, and starts to see it the same way: just one unit more.

Tangentially, given our brains’ difficulty processing large numbers, I wonder if this effect leads to money management skills being worse on average in economies with smaller base currency units, such as the Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South Korean Won, or for an extreme case study, the Iranian Rial, which currently exchanges at 49,313 IRR ≈ 1 EUR. When your haircut costs 1200000, a new phone costs 18700000, and a new car costs 1331400000, it’s hard to judge the weight of your decisions. When the slightly nicer car costs 1645200000, it’s near impossible to notice that you just spent your coffee money for an entire year (~5 days a week for 50 weeks) on a moonroof and Apple CarPlay. Not sure if that example is applicable to the average Iranian, but eh.

…is the most cursed thing I’ve seen all day. Especially so when you realize that when you convert it to a decimal of 1.25, the sentence is completely correct. Bravo. 😅👏

Idk, I think that depends on the context in which the rainbow is viewed.

I like to say “cooking with magnets” because 1) it sounds cooler and 2) when people look at me weird I can immediately launch into my spiel about how induction heating is superior to gas in every way.

Congrats on being adopted. 😺

At least it’s your own brain exploiting you instead of some shadowy cabal of advertising execs and astroturf campaign strategists?

My vote is for a name that I just made up, Aarana. It’s the female form of Aaron, with all a’s. 😄

Probably a result of the tariffs, naturally.

Yup. I was just going to comment,

“Not me, mine is treated™! Everything else is the same though. 😅”

And like yeah, both the wonderful (and foss!) .json5 and Microsoft’s semi-proprietary(?) .jsonc exist, but most projects just use their language’s default JSON parser that doesn’t recognize them. What I would personally love to see is .json5 support baked into the default JSON parsing libraries of Python, Go, etc. (Enabled by a flag, likely.) It’s a superset of regular JSON and fully ES2019 compatible, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

I have a relevant meme!

You’d think I would have learned the keyboard shortcut by now, but no, I’m just really fast at opening the Character Map and copying it manually. I’ve found a number of useful symbols to add to my random comments & SMS messages in there. I’m just a regular μblogger, truly. If I spent ⅒ of the time I spend making random comments actually solving worthwhile problems, I’d be rich. Or happy. Or… something like that. C’est la vie. At least I know the difference between Unicode U+02D7, U+2010 – U+2015, U+2043, U+2212, and U+2E3A. There are more, but I really need sleep more than I need to find every horizontal line in all of Unicode.

I would add PairDrop to your list to have bookmarked. It’s completely web-based so no download required and thus fully cross-platform. It also works across different networks (i.e. over the internet) by pairing devices or creating a room. Basically Apple AirDrop, but universal and on steroids.
