good question. but that is how it is in the US and MX.


equity stake obviously


Gotta kiss at least two rings.


erste mal?


same!


apples and oranges (pun!) but my new win11 laptop has the 'faceID' feature and it works well. no idea why apple is so slow on this.


Yeah - I’ve heard people say that the laptop lid (screen) is too thin for the sensors required to do proper FaceID (as opposed to just using the existing optical camera, which is easily fooled). But I don’t understand why the notch part of the screen just couldn’t be a bit deeper (and have a corresponding cutout on the bottom part of the laptop to accomodate it when the lid is closed). Then again, given how often the FaceID on my iPhone fails to recognise me…


trying turning off "require attention" for faceid on you phone..

and yeah, they can kill themselves making the iphone 17 air and a folding phone. but put an existing tech into a laptop? naw. not gonna do it.


when hiring is rare, the mission important and life critical, and the amount of coders small there is an esprit de corps that can arise to create excellent code in the largest organizations. unfortunately it also fails to arise.


Triangle Man hates Person Man


people brush their teeth three times a day???


In space everyone can smell you scream


I thought the article was great, but I couldn't get that sentence out of my head!


The recommendation on how many times to brush daily varies by country. In most spanish-speaking countries, for example , it’s thrice. (My unscientific poll: I googled for “tres veces al dia” and found media from a handful of countries promoting this frequency).


Latin American here: my coworkers used to (note: I'm remote now, that's why the past tense) brush their teeth after lunch, so if they also brushed in the mornings and before going to bed, that'd make it three times.

I didn't though, I'm not taking my brush & toothpaste to a public restroom at the office.


It’s okay if you don’t, like, dip your brush in the toilet or place it in a dirty counter, and miles cheaper than paying for dental treatments. And it’s not like you’re taking your everyday brush and paste with you daily, right? You keep a secondary set at the office?


Like I said, I didn't brush my teeth at work. When I went to the office, I tried to go in and out of the restroom as fast as possible, touching as few things as possible, and didn't linger to do things like brush my teeth, eat or play chess.

I didn't keep anything at my office, there were no lockers, no drawers, and the desk itself was messed with by the night cleaning crew.

> and miles cheaper than paying for dental treatments

You don't need to brush your teeth after every meal, that's a cultural thing. As long as you brush when you wake up and before you go to bed, that's ok.


I've been in some dirty public bathrooms, but those were typically in the expected places like bars and the like. However, this is starting to sound like you just have a mental thing about public restrooms. Not that I'm a therapist or even play one on TV.


Just because I won't brush my teeth thrice a day?

Wow... calm down, armchair therapist. Just do your thing and let others live their lives.

Most people do NOT brush their teeth after lunch. It's just a cultural habit. See the comment that sparked this.


You said this, "When I went to the office, I tried to go in and out of the restroom as fast as possible, touching as few things as possible"

which really comes across as you work in a disgusting place, or you might have a bit of an overreaction


Brush your teeth three, four or as many times as you like! As I said, beyond the minimum it's just a cultural habit. I knew one person who wouldn't consider her tooth-brushing complete if she didn't also brush her tongue, then removed "stuff" from her inner cheeks with a spoon... each time. (It's not a common practice, before you ask). She wasn't a dentist or a doctor either, I think she was a school teacher.

The overreaction thing is just your own baggage. Seems like a lot to extrapolate from so few words.


Keep it up until you're 20 or so until the enamel is properly hardened.


Yeah three seems insane but less than two also seems insane.


Why? Brushing your teeth after each meal doesn't sound insane at all to me. It actually seems quite logical.


Bring a toothbrush to work and out with you during the day?


How often do you do it?


Two?


So you just eat lunch and then walk around with crap on your teeth like it was perfectly okay?


echoing others here in that I want Steam Lap(top).

I am old and never into controller/couch gaming after the Atari era. I prefer either keyboard/mouse or gameboy for those nintendo exclusives.

I also travel a lot and a console or desktop PC just doesn't make sense in my life.

Maybe soon!


You could always just install the Steam client on a regular laptop. All of Valve's hardware is basically just booting into that anyway.


Nothing keeps you from buying an amd-based thinkpad with ubuntu and steam on it. I run god of war on mine, no problem.


they should spread some in fuel rod storage pools to see how it does
