I think they do more checks in the beginning, or if you missed to scan something as the system probably sees you as more or a “risc”. I can understand your frustration though

I know some stores mix self scanning and self checkout, usually they’re in the same exit area, or even at the same terminal

You people don’t have self scanning? Pick a barcode scanner at the entrance, scan everything when you put it in your bags in the cart, and just pay at the exit and walk out (unless you get a semi-rare random check). One of the favorite features of the store I use is that I fill the shopping list at home in the app (that can be shared with other accounts) and then I see the list in my phone or the store scanner, sorted by the order of sections in the store, so eg. all fruit and vegetables will be next on the list when I get to that section. I also like that you see your total in real time and the scanner reminds you if there’s a “3 for 2” or other offers.

Especially when you read left to right so the “punchline” should be on the right I think.

I think many of them are since chatgpt introduced the “Studio Ghibli” style earlier this year. They are usually these wierd mixes between anime and western cartoon styles, with a warm color tone for some reason

She did get her research team after all :)

I tried this on the train while commuting a few times and one time I missed my stop and had to take another train back because I was hyperfocused in the story lol. If I do this I must boost the speed on the audiobook quite a bit so it matches my reading speed, otherwise I get impatient waiting for the audio to catch up. If I listen to only audio I mostly listen to normal speed to not miss stuff though

He did speak out against Audible though, but mentioned he was afraid of making him an enemy of Amazon.

I don’t know about electron but I tried Logseq because Obsidians license didn’t work for me. It’s open source and markdown files too

For many games you can set graphics rendering to for example 1080p but run the whole game in 4k so text, menues and so on are super crisp but the game still runs very light. But maybe it’s good advice to never even start because I can’t imagine going back to 1080p after using 2k and 4k screens

Pihole hasn’t made any difference on devices like smart TVs and consoles for years, at least in my experience. It really sucks but they broke me and I bought premium family because we use YouTube a lot on non pc devices and I hate ads so much

At least icons are easy to customize! I should do a windows 95 theme on my phone

It would be great. My guess is, as with many things, it’s just more profitable to use the very simple manufacturing process in low cost countries

Had it once too. It was a long time ago but definitely one of the best cups I’ve had. Can probably be described to taste as regular coffee smells, with very little bitterness. Since then I’ve learned many producers have the animals in cages and don’t treat them well, and there are no good ways to source ethically made Kopi Luwak, so I never really felt the need to buy it again.

It’s OK, you can write Pepsis on the internet

I found a gold ring in a vent behind the rear mirror in my car.

It’s been really cold and I had heated the car before driving. As I was making a sharp turn some water dripped from behind the rear mirror. I guess it was condensation that had frozen and then heated? I stopped the car and used my phone flashlight to see where the water came from. Then I saw a flash of gold from something behind a vent that could be removed behind the rear mirror, where there’s wires for the radar and stuff. It was an 18k gold ring, engraved from the early sixties. I’ve had the car for a year and the former owner was a company with many people using the car. I guess someone his the ring and then forgot about it?

Maybe you’ll like Dover?

Even when discussing bad movies I’ve never seen someone else mention Death Bed before, it’s really bad! At least it has some humor and a lot of wierdness to it. The worst I’ve ever seen that just feels like lost time is Ax 'em / The Weekend it Lives. You basically can’t see or hear what’s going on most of the time because the camera work is so bad

Spot on! I looked upon my collection with pride when I visited my parents last time. Even have most of the early ones where only half of the spreads were printed in color
