In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when they realize their cognitions and actions are inconsistent or contradictory. This may ultimately result in some change in their cognitions or actions to cause greater alignment between them so as to reduce this dissonance.

I get a bit of this too on items that are flat enough to pool water on the top. I think placing things on the rack so they’re at a slight angle is supposed to be the solution but it can be tough

I realize this is a meme sub, but for anyone who needs to hear this:

If you have a modern dishwasher, you probably don’t need to do any washing yourself aside from scraping leftover food into your trash can or garbage disposal (where appropriate). Technology Connections has an excellent video going into detail. In short, make sure the water is hot just before starting the cycle, and don’t neglect pre-wash detergent.

Touch typing. Like I said I cannot find any reputable statistics. touchtypeit.co.uk claims “according to research” it’s less than 20%, but does not actually link any specific research. There are some other sites like it that are trying to sell you a product and list a low percentage, but I can’t find any actual studies or statistics

From the article:

Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you’re wearing it. You can’t see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can’t find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill

On the contrary, I’ve had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it’s plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.

I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.

that “virtual keyboard” sounds awful, glad the flaw was caught quickly lmao I would just use a regular keyboard while in the headset, but I suppose that doesn’t work for most people who need to look at it to type.

Reads like the author moonlights for the Onion.

And if you are getting 7-9 hours and still having this issue, please ask your doctor about sleep apnea.

Amusing that aside from the GPU TFLOPS the rest of it is a slight improvement if at all

Can you please leave the whole “responding when you’re not the person who was asked” bit behind, thanks

so an empathetic government could have actually just handed them all relief checks a la COVID

If you consider yourself a noodle, I respect that, but this ain’t the way to season your pasta water, chief

There is a risk if you have an extreme intake, but it’s going to be pretty hard to do that by seasoning your food with lite salt unless you’re doing something really extreme. Most people have a RDA of at least 2g of potassium, and I would hazard a guess that most people who are being told by their doctors to cut down on sodium intake probably aren’t getting a ton of potassium from what they’re eating.

Eliminating bullshit on the costs side of the equation is also important work that should be done.

It’s worth noting that profit margins for farmers are a LOT thinner on average than the limits I spitballed above. You can’t quite get from raw prices to profit margins directly, but the further away you get from the farmers, the more bullshit there seems to be.

Blood.

I’m not religious, but this situation really makes me yearn for Hell’s fiery maw to open up and claim the cop, the judge, and the “therapist”.

May they end up spending eternity as a human centipede. Or better yet, make it a closed loop.

Profit limits of 10-20% across all sorts of essential industries would be good, I think.

Have some kind of progressive tax incentive where if your profit comes in under the limit you get a tax credit, and if your profit is over the limit you pay higher and higher taxes until it’s quickly not worth it anymore.

I don’t know the details, but some system where responsible businesses are better off overall than exploitative ones…

How did you take away “they were asking about Mastodon” when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.

You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer… It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That’s my point.

And if you’re really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,

Dude, grow up.

edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could’ve prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.
