I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).

Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.

Oh right. In that case, click on the disambiguation link.

In this context: cheese.

If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you’d still be in prison

Unless it was the prison roof that you built.

While we’re at it, is a compass needle’s North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth’s North pole actually South so that the needle’s North pole points to it?

(I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)

Maybe like the way smaller and smaller circles (2d harmonics) make images in this video.

Someone recently posted this, or a similar picture, and I was about to ask the same question until they mentioned that they’d translated it to English for posting.

Teletubbies do say things such as “eh oh!”, or “Lala ball”. I don’t know if that was subtitled, but The Clangers definitely was.

This one turns itself into the Firefox logo at about 2:35, before starting to snore.

I used those to call back to the UK when I moved to the US, back around 2005.

When you entered the number you wanted to call, it would do a VOIP connection from the line you were on to that company to a line in the destination county. So it was an Internet call for the international part (which is how they did it cheaply).

I realized that because the cards I bought were from a company with “VOIP” in the name!

I had one of those Radio Shack tone dialler boxes so that I could pre-program the free US number and the card id number.

My son’s homework is frequently in metric (a US school district). Many drinks (wine and sodas) and medicine doses are too. The US uses metric just as the UK still uses miles and pints.

Just having driveway alarms can be useful. Battery motion sensors trigger a chime on the base unit. Enough to give you an alert that something needs to be checked.

4th column top one is hover-cat, maybe?

I once heard that laser pointers are bad for cats’ mental health: the tantalizing red dot that they just cannot catch.

Best to let them see the dot “run away and escape” if they do chase one.

Gravity at the height of the ISS is still about 90%. It’s only being in orbit that results in free-fall giving a zero-g effect, not so different from those “vomit-comet” flights.

So if they’d come up with some explanation about it staying up without being at orbital speed it would have been closer to the truth.

Where is this found? I’ve stayed in maybe 10 hotels in California this year plus plenty in previous years (and a few in other states) and never seen this.

Is it maybe a thing in small rooms (I travel with family so never book anything with less than two beds).

Oh, I should add that the plug in the 2nd pic is what keyboard connectors were back then (PS/2 connector).

This is dated 2017, so must have been through a few phone-to-phone days transfers to be on my current one.

But in my main store of files that’s synced across machines, I have this from 1999

Memes were still finding their feet back then.
