    Not sure how they come up with ‘deadliest animal’. Wikipedia lists scorpions as only 8th most deadly to humans. Freshwater snails and dogs kill at least 3x more people, and mosquitoes kill over 200x more people.

    cnet ranked the most venomous animals and the highest ranked scorpion comes in only at number 10

    1. Box Jellyfish
    Although the Australian box jellyfish just misses having the most potent venom on this list, it is probably the most deadly. It is large in size yet almost transparent in the water, and its tentacles can sting you with its millions of nematocysts, injecting a hefty amount of venom while holding its victim in place.

    The venom’s toxins can cause extreme pain, paralysis, delirium, shock, cardiac arrest and even death within minutes. The jellyfish has enough venom to kill 60 adults.




  • Yep, tor me it’s because it requires a Pixel. And specifically poor Pixel battery life.

    I value battery life, and every Pixel I check out on gsmarena has an endurance rating < 90h.

    For comparison, my current phone’s endurance rating is 113h, and this is why I ended up shopping by chipset. Everything not Snapdragon had poor battery life. (Disclaimer: haven’t looked for a couple of years)








  • Jesus Christ.

    I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.

    I tracked down why.

    It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.

    The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.

    And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.

    The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.

    I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
