I can't taste the breed in market milk, but I could differentiate most cows just by taste of milk from my family's farm. I can still tell the difference between brands and seasons.

Market milk tastes kinda devoid of personality. But it is still milk. Just that milk from hundreds of cows gets mixed together

We need a new framework, one that allows universal lookup, and makes life easier

x = _.dialog.file.open
y = _.open.file.dialog
z = _.file.open.dialog
a = _.file.dialog.open

Once done, the formatter simply changes everything to _.open.file.dialog

Let's get this done JS peeps

The OP is correct wrt powerful e bikes sharing space with pedestrians and normal bikes.

They are a different beast, heavier and noisier. They have much higher speed limit, and require less effort (some models need no pedal power) to travel. This, alongside the rise of delivery services, encourages people to overspeed (more than 20mph).

15mph is roughly the limit of what makes bicycles safe for mixing with pedestrians, but beyond this speed, they aren't that different from a motorbike in terms of road design considerations.

At least they are better than cars and SUVs

It's pretty natural not to reserve seats on shinkansen, because you can find seats unless you are travelling at peak hours (and there are trains every 20 minutes or better)

The travel time to and from airport, and the baggage+security easily eats into the 1.5 hour savings. Same day fare on shinkansen remains constant, unlike 30k+ that flights demand.

On shinkansen, you have lots of leg room compared to LCC seats. There's also enough space to move, talk and option to reconfigure the seats for a group of 4 or 6 travelers. There's cell connectivity (and decent wifi onboard) so you don't have to pay through your nose for in flight WiFi. The toilets are spacious. There's dedicated place to talk on the phone. Less noisy and fewer bumps than a flight.

This makes the bullet trains really attractive for business and family travels (with kids). You don't need to plan beforehand and there's less inconvenience compared to flight. Moreover, the cost also balances out if you're traveling to a smaller city with poor air connectivity.

These kind of options actually allow spur of the moment travels over such distances.

I know plenty of people who plan and use bus and flights due to the cost benefit, but also tons of people prefer the hassle free travel on shinkansen

Same with Switzerland

Looks good (the extension). Any other good tiling extensions with keyboard and GUI support? I would like to explore a few to see which one works well for me

Flameshot works on Wayland (atleast on KDE)

Gnome is just being stupid in hardcoding an exception for only its own tool under the guise of privacy.

And yeah, it's complicated, but it's fast for power users. Maybe it's no frills design makes it appear more complicated and as a other comment states, maybe there's a way to uncomplicate it (but I totally understand if you don't want to use it)

Why create a new screenshot tool rather than use something popular like flameshot?

Looks a lot like Gnome. Is Cosmic a gnome soft fork or just a skin with plugins?

It might be something built using digital payments with no transaction fee (and a percentage for currency conversion)

Not possible globally, but in India and the Nordics, such standards are already in use. (No private apps like venmo which can't inter-operate don't count)

Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn't help because:

  • those plants will die and release the carbon back
  • the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
  • the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous
