Around 2013, when I was just 13, on the computer at my grandparents place. I had to actually ask around and spend effort to find floppys since by then they were already obsolete, but my grandparents PC only had a floppy drive available. I used it to attempt to write an OS (I know I know, daunting task but I didnt know how much I didnt know). I got as far as writing the bootloader and got it to load and print Hello World, but no further.
I interpreted it as a BMW driver really close behind the pilot, thereby filling up the pilots rearview mirror. Someone else said its about inexcusably bright lights on new cars. Both work I guess
We really need a c/whoosh 😂
The US is a tumour, and what do we do with those? We cut them out. If WW3 starts as a conventional war, sure they will probably kill me due to their better equipped military, but I hope I take as many of them with me as I can. I hate them
Good fucking riddance to those dead. They should have known what they were signing up to become. Monsters, every single american.
I used to be really deep into this rabbit hole. Theres a community of "biohackers" who do stuff like inserting rfid chips and magnets under the skin.
The magnet in the finger tip is what always interested me, but im too much of a chicken to seriously consider doing it because its not a medical procedure (you can't just go to a doctor afaia and request to have it implanted - theyll just refuse to do it) so you need to do it with local anaesthetics that you can legally acquire, yourself or with a friend.
People who have done it have reported they became able to sense electromagnetic fields once they got used to its sensitivity, which is bizarre and awesome at the same time. They literally gave themselves a "sixth sense"
I read a comment on an ig reel which was "he chote?" (He cheated?) and ive not been the same since
I can see your point, and for the record Im in Cyprus, but (and in part I take responsibility for wrongly estimating what an everyday kit would be for - someone else mentioned a first aid kit isn't really for the general day to day boo boos) I'm genuinely not looking for any actual survival or life threatening type stuff, which it seems a lot of the answers in here tend towards. For example, I genuinely can't imagine any situation I would find myself in where I would need to use a tourniquet. If I do find myself faced with someone that hurt I would already be on the phone with emergency services getting an ambulance there asap (still haven't even heard of anyone who has needed that kind of care here). I am mainly interested in the stuff that just makes certain normal situations where someone else or myself is hurt in a minor way, a bit easier and less miserable to deal with. I guess I got influenced by my category 3 "hiking" too much and used the words "first aid kit", which mislead people as to what I am actually looking for. A better way to ask the question might have been "What medical/health items do you carry around with you every day to make your life slightly easier?"
An example (which again I would put in the hiking category, or the "road" (car) category at least, is a pair of decent tweezers. Sure it won't really help if someone snaps a bone in half, but realistically how often does that happen, and how often does it happen where I am located that someone hasn't already called for an ambulance. It sure is welcome however if you get a splinter and don't feel like asking around if anyone has clean tweezers xD
Edit: I do want to do the first aid course, not just for work but also because I think its an invaluable skill to have, but its too expensive for me to do privately, it just makes sense to do it through my employer, but you know how this stuff goes. They've got a thousand other things to deal with rather than organise that stuff, so while they seem super positive about the whole thing its just always at the back of the mind of the guy who needs to arrange it.
Funnily enough, Im not Dutch but I am learning the language :D
At least the wife who talked about her children's PTSD now has an idea of what they do around the world to children. Her being from the US however, makes me doubt whether she will make that connection, instead of just looking at it from the lens of how it affects her own little bubble.
Good riddance to those United Statians who died
Maybe someday eh?
It always was, just more insidious
Is my cheap mirror compass I just got 'marked' wrong, specifically about the direction of travel and index lines?
(programming.dev)
I just received the cheap mirror compass I plan to use this weekend to practice some land navigation on a trail in the mountains (dont worry, the trail is a documented hiking trail, I will simply try to use the opportunity to practice map & compass skills by trying to determine where I am based on features on my map and around me, I wont actually be navigating using skills I dont have yet), and after examining it and watching a bunch of instructional videos on youtube about the topic, I feel like the direction of travel arrow and index line (hard to see but its in the little magnifying bubble on the bottom of the bezel) are on the wrong side of the compass.
As you can see, if I want to use the mirror to sight a distant target, the bearing I will see from the index line will essentially be in the opposite direction since the magnifying bubble would be closer to my body in that scenario. There are some smaller green bearings on the ring which are the opposites of the actual bearing, but they are hard to read even when looking down on the compass straight on, let alone through the bubble which really distorts everything.
Here is the actual compass I ordered for better images.
Is it just a matter of lack of experience making me interpret this all wrong?
