I'm curious if people with aphantasia would also be able to create a "mind map" of the area around them

I purchased the Surface Laptop with the Snapdragon Elite and 64GB ram. The performance seems pretty decent, even while using Visual Studio on it and a few accompanying apps/tools. Battery lasts a decent amount, but nothing close to eve

Sounds like these protestors should never go on vacation anywhere else either. Stay in your home city your entire life.

I don't quite understand the idea or fascination behind the Dyson spheres. Isn't it much more complex to acquire the materials, build, and maintain the structure than to simply build localized nuclear power generators where they n

Neither sugar nor caffeine has the same effects as drugs like alcohol and marijuana. It's pretty asinine to classify them as even being in the same category.

Yeah, no. We're already in a drug crisis as it is. We need to teach people that doing drugs (of any kind) isn't the answer to problems. Soft times seems to have created this problem where people would rather escape their lives tha

Hard to judge the DEAs effectiveness off something like this. You have very little insight on their actual effectiveness and workings on everything, yet your comment seems to summarize the entire organization off a completely biased politic

What we need is less drugs, and more fixing the issues on what causes people to turn to drugs.

The issue is the prolonged constant daily use of it. Unlike alcohol, it's much easier to get by in the day with weed, and a lot of people do use it as that. It offers them an escape from reality without the full social repercussion of

Honestly, we should look to fix the issues that lead to people depending on weed, alcohol, and other drugs instead. These drugs are escapes for people - and a lot of them, especially younger kids get completely hooked on the escaped from re

This seems to be the issue - we're trying to study COVID, which affected literally the whole population of earth at this point, and we have no control group of people who have not been affected. People have gotten older, have gone thro

While it sounds like there are problems, and they should be investigated, taking the word of a one (or even a few) whistleblower on something like this should be taken with skepticism. Everything involving airplanes extremely complex, and m

So, our concept of distance is nothing more than the interaction of particles between each other? edit: Through their respective field - I'm guessing, and does each force have its own field, or do they also interact with each other?

The addiction isnt to the smartphone, but to social media applications. It's the constant pumping of information and misinformation, as well as a false sense of reality. Teens (and other age groups) are constantly bombarded with topics

This website does a very poor job at describing what it is, what it does, how it does it, etc. Even after googling, there isn't much information about the full extend of what changes this does to Win11.

Sounds a lot like the "Mrs Davis" TV Show. Anyhow, this is not a good idea. We are having issues with their scores and performance declining. We have to find the root cause, not try to patch it with another band-aid by saying &quo

This is about as secure as loading a text file that says "licensed=true". Anyone can easily proxy the server DNS call, put up their own server, etc. A client app connecting to a public facing database server with no authentication

Sadly, for programming, I've had to use Google quite a few times lately. Their raise feature is nice, but always finding stack overflow (because I raised it) on top of ACTUAL documentation for a specific topic kinda ruins it.

With 1k-2k searches a month, $10 seemed reasonable. However, $25 does not - it's far too much of a price increase. Most people here can already get same quality results from google with an ad blocker. I get that the service costs money

Honestly, this seems silly - I would rather have a lower quality Star Trek rather than the endless garbage on TV these days, so yes, I will watch it. Plus, it's not even that bad as a show by it's self - but people have sky high e

I get that Mozilla is far more than just Firefox, but what are they actually spending so much money on? They have 750 employees, yet Firefox (their main product) barely sees any impactful updates. Either there is a lot of bloat, money misma
