a four-panel far side? in color!?

is he okay?

that’s true.

the fraction of solar radiation blocked by something with a given spf s is 1-¹⁄ₛ. so spf 54 blocks 98.15% and 178 blocks 99.44%.

i don’t know if anyone needs this unless their job involves 16 hour days working outside in the nude…

i use latex beamer templates for presentations. it’s hard to fuck up displaying a pdf. if you want you can use markdown -> pandoc -> tectonic to skip writing latex.

any european ones?

i’ll give you the second case, but nobody should plan for putting stuff on aws with the world as it looks right now…

…a hard disk? you can just write data to a file

i wasn’t the one making the claim, but for me it is undrinkable. when i say “impossible to swallow”, i mean literally. i have an allergic reaction to chlorine, and there’s enough in us tap water to make my throat swell shut.

i’ve definitely experienced the “getting used to it” thing in other countries, but unfortunately the throat swelling is a physical reaction to chlorine. i also can’t go in swimming pools without goggles or i get covered in blisters. on the skin it’s fine but if it touches a mucous membrane i’m fucked. also forgot about that when i first took a shower after landing in bc a few years ago, which was a fun time.

i’m swedish. we generally don’t treat our water at all, it just goes straight from well to tap. the exception is large cities like stockholm that need to use surface water instead of groundwater, and they use artificial infiltration systems followed by uv-disinfection (or ozone, don’t remember which). the water in stockholm also tastes weird to me, but it’s completely drinkable. every time i visit family in north america and forget about the chlorine thing i get a shock.

i know what bleach smells like, i clean my own bathroom. it’s not that.

europe generally doesn’t chlorinate its water as hard as north america. every bathroom and kitchen ive been in in the us smells like chlorine, and trying to drink the water makes my throat physically swell shut. in europe i only have that reaction if i get pool water in my mouth, which is how i figured out i’m allergic to it.

it’s the chlorination. makes it smell foul and impossible to swallow, at least for me. last time i had to buy one of one of those bottles with a built-in filter, because otherwise i would just instinctually not drink water.

yeah sorry should have clarified

it says they use ai right on the page you linked. their other application is ai-first.

well it’s his state media now so

yeah except the wrinkly old fuck is the one on the floor

i mean, it’s more contrarian city from where i’m sitting. but maybe that’s also a group behaviour.

yeah that’s from a 50’s disney nature documentary where they chased lemmings off a cliff and filmed it from below.

oh, please do.
