My favorite is, some time around last summer, whenever I told Google to play the latest episode of Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, it invariably plays some random unrelated (not even a similar name) music on Spotify.

FWIW you can also get heat pumps that feed into regular central heating. The split units are nice because you can heat different rooms to your liking but if you prefer a central approach, that’s also possible, just like it is with a furnace

The "wet room" thing is in Korea too. I've been told it's for easy cleaning. You just pull the sprayer off the shower and splash the whole room like you're at a car wash. Having said that, the person who told me tha

Yeah, I get the energy savings with air-drying. And I've always air-dried certain items, too, because like you said, it's hard on fabric. But right now, the humidity in Porto is 91%. A pair of jeans would smell bad before they fin

Well yeah, that's a good example. I haven't always had a laundry room in apartments I've rented in the US. When I haven't, there's been a shared machine room that all the tenants use with rows of machines. But most

Take-out is so much cheaper in Europe than America. Not just Portugal, either. Take-out in Italy is dirty cheap and despite all of my hopes and dreams, I'll never cook something as good as what I can get for like 5 euros from a gas s

Kind of. We live near a Lidl (similar to Aldi) and it's fine for a quick trip for the staples. But if we're cooking something like what you'd find in the New York Times or Delish or whatever, we're driving to a big old s

America has long had most of the best universities in the world. Getting rid of all standardized tests and instead relying on (heavily inflated, or not) grades, combined with bullshit essays, is going to significantly undermine that.

Clever, but still not an acceptable use of a font. There are very valid security reasons why browsers don't advertise installed software. Using a font install for reasons unrelated to having a font is still not a valid use case, even i

Visual Basic was mostly just used for line-of-business software -- forms, reports, etc. That's mostly been moved to the web, but it was seldom used for anything where performance was important.

This is just my own anecdotal experience. I have an M1 Max, which definitely has a fan, and I use Xcode, PyCharm, and Docker fairly regularly. Just looking right now, I see that in the past seven days, my fans have spun up only three times.

The disappearing tracks is really the main problem with Spotify. I think at some point licensing to streaming services needs to be compulsory, like licensing to radio is, so that there aren't "exclusives."

For my purposes, the biggest drawback of using an SoC is being constrained to just the unified memory. Since I run a lot of memory intensive tasks but few CPU or GPU bound tasks, a regular m1 with way more memory would be ideal.

Most criminals are not clever. I had a girlfriend whose house was broken into; the thieves stole an xbox, an air conditioner, various electronics, etc. After she reported them stolen, sure enough, the serial numbers showed up at a pawn shop
