It will make the air behind your fridge warmer in exchange for making the air around your body cooler. There’s usually not great airflow behind the fridge so it won’t affect the rest of your house much.

If you’ve got an open kitchen or something you can still freeze the bottles at night and use them during the day.

Everyone I don’t like is Xehanort.

There aren’t any meetings that are part of Agile. The point of Agile is that you’re supposed to let teams self-organize and define their own process through iteration but managers hate that so they issue a top-down mandate to implement the Scrum process without allowing anyone outside of management to change it in any way and call it “Agile”.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn’t patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you’ll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don’t get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you’re just making things worse.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

I always wonder how many people don’t realize that olives aren’t supposed to taste like a tin can and have the texture of wet cardboard.

Voidtools “Everything” is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.

It will be funny when all the LLMs start posting it in their responses at least.

The leak didn’t include phone numbers or emails but I’m sure there will be attempts at spear phishing businesses since they can figure out the business name from the physical address.

Dororo!

The Haunted Mansion was decent, it made me want to see LaKeith Stanfield star in more fun adventure movies (something like Brendan Frasier’s The Mummy).

Wish was a mess, it felt like they wanted to make a Disney multiverse movie but chickened out and just made a bland Disney movie that constantly references better Disney movies (mostly Snow White to the point where you wonder if Wish is intended to be its prequel). A couple songs were decent but the bulk them felt unpolished and forgettable, like they needed a few more edits and re-writes to come together. The anti-establishment themes were weak and made me wish I were re-watching Nimona instead.

The Marvels was good as a Ms. Marvel TV special but not as a Captain Marvel blockbuster.

When I was a kid, parents and teachers used to teach, if you have sore muscles a day after an extensive workout, you need to work out even more in order to reduce the soreness. In fact, however, you need to rest those muscles.

Strained muscles need rest but when starting a new workout routine it’s common to experience Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) the next day which you can relieve with light exercise.

A feature that is consistently misused is a useless feature. Either get used to them being used to express disagreement or admit that they’re a failure and stop trying to make them work.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn’t included.

Because it doesn’t fit the design of the game.

Pokemon Go is meant to be played while walking around outside. This means you can’t have a lot of text because glare from the sun will make it too hard to read. The real battle system also requires more congnitive load than most people can handle while walking and takes too long which will lead to people stopping for extended periods of time at which point you’re no longer playing a pedometer game.

I like to describe it to people as “Squidward dumps SpongeBob”.
