Even the people I know that are otherwise relatively tech savvy don’t do this.

Not to say it’s a good operating system, though.

The novel (written by Andrew Robinson) A Stitch in Time also confirms this physical attraction, if not specific examples of physical affection.

“Humid conditions have their own sort of more perceptual limitations, that difficulty breathing, because it feels so claustrophobic,” Dr Cheng says.

“But in the dry environment, so far, the rate at which [their core temperature] is rising can be one-and-a-half to two times what we’re seeing with the more humid conditions.”

“It’s really for a lot of those nations, that don’t have a choice but to actually live in these conditions 24/7 … or for people in circumstances where air conditioning is not an option, or areas of the world where manual labour in the field is just sort of their way of life,” Dr Cheng says.

“A lot of those parts of the world that are most affected by it, are also the ones that have the least resources, I think, to deal with it.”

The researchers will keep testing the conditions on people until the end of the year.

But in the meantime, it’s given both the researchers, and Owen, an important glimpse into where the heat threshold of the human body lies.

Contrary to my usual tendencies, I was not a patient gamer with Survivor. I got it on PS5 the week it released, if I remember correctly. The performance issues were surprising (although actually still better on release than Fallen Order was), but other than that the game was an improvement for me in every way. Once a few patches came out improving stability, it completely superseded the original.

Edit: And I’m glad to hear it runs well enough on PC now; once I upgrade my GPU I may watch for a sale and double dip.

Link contains mild spoilers for the conclusion of the Buu Saga in Z, but pretty much what the other poster said.

As a note, GT is no longer considered “canon”, so barring something strange you shouldn’t have to worry about other shows spoiling anything for it. From what little I’ve heard about Daima, it kind of seems like an attempt to do GT but good.

I was wondering when I’d see a Godzilla movie here and on my feed. I vaguely remember watching this as a kid, but I’m doing a rewatch of all of the Toho Godzilla movies in release order and looking forward to this one in particular quite a lot.

They did. The nozzle actually arrived days before the printer, which was somewhat funny. I plan on trying it out a bit tomorrow.

Had to do a deep dive into this group for my father once and came to the conclusion that they diverged greatly from the type of music I enjoy once they added that Fred Durst sounding mf to the band permanently. Their general sound is fantastic, though.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/fewer-vs-less

Essentially, fewer is normally used for discrete numbers of things (e.g. “fewer apples”, “fewer boats”, or “fewer cops”) while less is used for amounts (e.g. “less water”, “less sand”, or “less money”).

As noted in the above link, there are exceptions. However, the exceptions listed are all with “than” or “or” added. Specifically, it’s pointing put that while “fewer items” is correct, “3 items or less” is also considered correct.

In the case of the sign, it is referring to the specific number of officers in the city, so it should use “fewer”. Does it matter? No, not really. Why did I bother saying anything? I got a chance to rep grammar and quote Stannis Baratheon at the same time.
