Good luck getting a WW2 fighter to 60,000 feet

That's the existing premium tier, it's 500 requests per month, with 500 tweets returned per request. So 250k tweets ig

You can fit a book, though

Different parts of your body can feel hotter or colder, because the sensation of temperature is not about your internal body temp, but the heat transfer at the skin.

Hands with a pair of gloves on will feel colder than e.g. armpits under 3 layers of clothing. It's absolutely possible to sweat and still feel somewhat cold.

Sounds like a great way to introduce mold problems into your home.

Also insulating the body is great and all, but then all your surfaces are cold. Every time you open a door, your hand gets freezing. Your sofa is cold. Your chair is cold. Your floor is cold. It's just not a comfortable way to live. It's unpleasant.

Then, any bits of your flesh exposed to the cold air in your house also feel cold.

Not to mention how much more uncomfortable it is to have to layer up at home, rather than just being able to wear a set of pyjamas.

The nearest town with 100k inhabitants means that places such as Greenland are completely excluded, since its largest town by far only has a population of 18k

Be careful with this: people moving away from home to universities are some of the most at-risk for feeling lonely, for developing depression and suicidal tendencies.

It can absolutely help some people, but for others it can make them feel like they're more alone than they've ever been, because while their anxieties and social struggles still exist, they no longer have any support structure of a family or friends from home around them.

I think the most important thing is just putting yourself in those uncomfortable situations. Even if it's awkward, even if you feel embarrassed for whatever reason, you'll have learned a bit more about how to interact with people. So next time will be less awkward. Then the time after that, less still.

This is what helped me, when I was in that position.

Nah, commit messages should be including the 'why', not just the 'what'. The what is usually fairly clear already.

Education designed around sitting quietly in classrooms, which is the opposite of how you get boys to excel (in general), but which is good for girls is a big problem. And there have been some efforts to begin addressing this, in some schools, but we need systemic changes in that area.

Obviously a lot more wrong, but fixing that would go a huge way on its own.

I distinctly remember my parents, before satellite navigation systems were common (let alone phones) having endless arguments over bad map reading when on family trips.

It's not a skill that was lost to technology, it's a skill that most people never mastered even before we all had GPS systems in our pockets.

Yes, yes, and yes. All basic skills any hiker should have.

Entirely depends on the environment you're hiking in tbh.

I don't buy roadmaps, but I have a ton of orienteering maps for when I go hiking. I really love orienteering with a proper waterproof map & compass.

I would never use an airbnb for e.g. a city trip, but booking whole cottages in the country through airbnb has always been great for me. Prices are usually totally reasonable as well.

Manchester.

Web dev.

These are specific roles they're recruiting for. Job sites are still filled with open positions.

If you get stuck in traffic on the way home from work, you might have your heating on for an extra 30+ minutes unnecessarily.

If you decide to have a lazy day and sleep in, you can turn it on when you wake up instead of potentially 2+ hours early.

If you have an unexpected overnight stop over somewhere (e.g. after a night out drinking), you can turn it off until when you're home again. Also works if you're taken to hospital.

There are many valid uses for it.

The people in that article you posted specifically signed up to an 'energy savers' scheme that explicitly allowed the energy companies to change their smart thermostat temperature. They agreed to it. There's no reason to think that energy companies would normally be able to take over your thermostat.

Not been laid off myself, but I'm still being absolutely hounded by recruiters. There are still a ton of tech jobs out there, at least in the UK.

Yes, it's extremely common UX practice. Lines really should be no longer than 80 characters at an absolute maximum. 50-60 is ideal.

White space isn't wasted space. It makes the page infinitely more readable to limit line lengths. Yes, you could have reduced your window width before. No, you shouldn't have to do that to get a comfortable reading experience.

Because it works well without borders. You need to have a justification for adding things - what does a border add here? Other than making it feel more boxed-in?

And now the text is huge. Sounds like you either are sitting too far away from your monitor, or need to have your eyes tested if that actually feels comfortable.

What an absolutely absurd thing to say.

>but at the same time I do not feel a whole lot of empathy towards lawyers that are actively suing the venue

The lawyer initially turned away wasn't involved in that suit at all, just worked for the same company. Imagine your company did something shitty (not that the litigation is shitty), then you personally started getting banned from places because of it, even if you had no involvement whatsoever.

Weird how hard you've bought into the right-wing narratives

Because most people on these kinds of forums proclaiming some great benefits from deleting their social media don't have those friends in the first place.

Alpine is a few years old already

Yes, the UK doesn't have nationalised dentistry. It's private practices which take money from the NHS. I'm advocating for full nationalisation: dental practices, optometrists, and GP surgeries all being fully run by the NHS, not by private companies/individuals.
