They've thought about that too, and see training as vital where others before them have failed. Also OS and programs will look somewhat similar to what users are used to, from what I can recall.

Producing documents or e-mails can't be that functionally different, right? Many don't need much more than that. However, I could see integration of third-party software as a challenge, but one that in most cases could be easily overcome.

I have a Patagonia rainshell which I found dirt cheap on sale many yeara ago and it is absolutely fantastic. Packs small into its own little puch and the water repellant hasn't failed me yet

Dunno if available in Germany, but check out if t-shirts from Northern Playground are available.

They are a blend between merino wool and silk, with a nice and loose fit. Their tees are my favourite, but also offer longsleeves and grampa shirts, socks, beanies, etc. Sustainable, made in the EU, really great products.

Yeah I had to look it up and I am very fascinated. Thanks for introducing me!

May I ask — how is the Piantor different? From what I can gather, these are based on open source and can be built by anyone with a bit of know-how?

Fans of sippy cups also for adults, unite!

Looks great, OP. I've just stumbled upon split keyboards and really tempted to order the ZSA Voyager. This kinda looks similar?

That's a GREAT idea. Why don't you start us off?

Viktig og riktig at dette temaet fortsettes å problematiseres i den offentlige debatten.

Husker Ole Rogeberg, seniorforsker ved Frisch-senteret, skrev en veldig god (og ganske krass) uttalelse i høringsrunden til forskriften om terskelverdier for rusmiddelpåvirket kjøring, se lenke i hans tweet her: https://twitter.com/olerogeberg/status/1451462577872162847?s=20

Det er jo ganske sprøtt at politikonstabler i Canada kan gå på jobb åtte timer etter å ha inntatt cannabis, mens her kan man altså fengsles for det samme.

Yeah same, I transferred all my reads to Bookwyrm a while ago and it's pretty cool. The search function isn't as good as Goodreads', but openlibrary also helps.

Yeah, I mean... it's from, like, 1997 or something?

The music scene in general was different back then, and DnB was no exception. This was 15 years before streaming, which gave us access to all the world's music in an instant. I remember when a shop would have MixMag with a mix cd from a DJ I had remotely heard of... I would play them over and over. Not to mention music production without computers. Vinyl only mixes.

DnB, like dubstep after it, was also considered a local scene in London first, England second. Some big players would gatekeep what they considered "their" scene, not playing tunes from outsiders on their pirate radio shows and the like.

But it's fascinating tracing origins and the evolutions of musical styles over time. DnB came from Jungle, which has had a bit of a revival in the recent years, and the heyday of jungle is considered to be just a part of 1994. If you want to check out what that is like today, I would recommend putting on Coco Bryce's Boiler Room Amsterdam mix: https://youtu.be/pjAWLu7UTBM

But broken beat, acid jazz, rave... it's all part of a culture. Some great music from that era. DnB is best experienced in a mix IMHO, but there are a lot of great tunes which are solid by themselves as well.

For a good mix, I would recommend Calibre's mix from the same Boiler Room session. He is one of the greatest. Link: https://youtu.be/LuB29bL2kyI

Also dBridge is a personal favourite of mine. He was part of Bad Company, and their tune "the Nine" still gives me goosebumps.

Also listen to Goldie's Timeless from start to finish. Time well spent.

Looked like an air-burst munition of sorts? I thought that hit was the hit labelled as use of cluster munition and was readying my downvote, but then the next two was shown and yeah... clusters alright.

Oh man, this tune just never gets old. Still one of my favourite tunes to this day
