    Google widely rolling out Pixel Weather to Pixel 6-8a
  • It's not perfect but depending on the accuracy of their data source it might be a decent replacement for my normal weather app. It's not gonna replace [Wx] (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=joshuatee.wx), (Play store link, but it's on Fdroid too), but it's not bad tbh.

    What's up with hemp dispensaries shipping 5 mg THC products to every state? That's legal?
  • My very not-legal-advice, probably missing details summary is that the way the Farm Bill was originally written was to outlaw hemp-derived Delta-9 THC over 0.3% by weight. So long as the total amount of D9 THC derived from otherwise legal hemp in anything is less than 0.3% by total weight of the product, it's legal. In order to stay under that limit, all you need to do is make sure your 5mg gummy weighs more than ~167mg or so, which isn't difficult.

    What is this phallic thing?
  • That's why I said a portion of one, I'm fairly sure that's the top six inches or so that got broken off. What's the bottom look like?

    EDIT: A comment or above saying gate post might also very well be right. Whatever specifically, my guess stands on it being some kind of post of some sort.

    Would You Wear an Air-Filled Cycling Backpack If It Could Reduce Drag and Improve Safety?
  • Strangely, the benefit of wearing one backward (on your chest) is a little bit better than wearing it on your back.

    That's fascinating and makes me wonder if wearing both at once was tested. I can't imagine it'd be comfortable though.

    John Cleese accuses Eric Idle of “invention” as they renew hostilities over Monty Python management
  • It's things like this that make me mad copyright was extended so long. It was originally set at 20 years to prevent this from happening and encourage people to make new art.

    AMD plans for FSR4 to be fully AI-based — designed to improve quality and maximize power efficiency
  • I'm very much not an expert, but I'd imagine it's similar to how AES-NI works: the task is CPU/GPU-intensive until specific instructions are designed to do whatever blackmagicfuckery level math is required, and once it's in hardware it's more both power efficient and faster.

    Magsafe Steering Wheel! (For racing games)
  • My point was, and remains, that if you're gonna comment on this dude's cool thing he made, maybe try not to be a pedantic asshat when the aforementioned dude who created the cool thing essentially calls it Loctite instead of thread locker.

    Magsafe Steering Wheel! (For racing games)
  • Magsafe is the marketing term for a specific layout and design of magnets for a specific purpose that is crucial to the function of the cool AF thing OP made, which you didn't bother mentioning at all...

  • That's not either scale being intuitive or unintuitive, that's your familiarity with one over the other.

    I got curious so I did some research on the definitions and why everything is this way. It looks like they originally picked the coldest thing they had (brine, possibly inspired by the coldest weather), the freezing point of water, human body temperature, and the boiling point of water. It was supposed to be brine at 0, water freezing at 30, the human body at 90, and water boiling at 240. Fahrenheit then recalibrated his scale slightly to make his math (and thermometer design and production) easier, and also because he noticed water actually boiled at 212 by his newly modified scale.

    Looking at it like that work the context of what they had at the time and what they were trying to do, it makes a lot of sense.
