What would a CPU look like with these wires? Would it fit within my town?

I've been playing a good amount of disc golf lately. Why not a disc shape?

  • With proper training, it can be thrown over 100 meters.
  • It can curve around corners.
  • It's fun.
  • It will definitelly hit the very first tree in your path and kill you.
  • it stacks nicely in a backpack.

But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?

Bro.

I live in a country where bidets are extremely rare. I honestly only know one single household with a bidet. I have however discussed getting one, but the discussion has pretty much faded out since it isn't seen as a common need around here.

I fully agree with the "buttholes are the only thing we are content with wiping with paper to clean away poop"-paradox argument. I have mentioned that a lot in my discussions with my gf about getting one. So maybe I should get one - as I said, my opinion isn't very strong as I haven't experienced one, and I haven't experienced sanitary issues with using paper.

So with all that said, it's less tempting to make that purchase when people respond as condescending dickheads when raising concerns or questions about it. You just fully assumed that I lived in a place where bidets are common and told me to grow up and that I am ignorant. The other commenter got called a dumbass for not knowing the bidet procedure when they initially said that they were not bidet trained.

Being condescending doesn't really help anyone. It just makes me want to ignore your advice.

When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.

While that's true regarding insulation, the degradation of materials might be different at different temperatures. It might not be an issue as I have no idea what the materials in an ice cream truck are, but if you want to maintain a hot beverage-temperature, several types of paint, treatments, walls and floors might fail over time.

I'm not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it's obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I'm not sure if you're in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.

When countries vote for their neighbour, that is usually not enough to change the end result. The most popular song usually still wins. But Israel is assembling political votes all across Europe. Only a few percent of the voters need to be rallied to completely overtake the public votes. Also considering that Israel supporters are motivated to vote 20 times, people voting for their favorite song will likely only vote a few times, if at all.

Yes, Eurovision has always been political to some degree, but it hasn't really swayed the results this much ever before.

I struggled to get through bioshock with this common pattern scattered around.

You are probably right in that people wouldn't collaberate to prevent an israeli win like that. But israel is gathering people for their collaberation, so I think the voting system is broken either way. If nothing is done, israel is basically guaranteed a top position. If a counter collaberation is formed, the competition is broken into a miserable predetermined show.

I just don't think eurovision can work with israel (or any other country in a controversial war) participating.

I'm not saying that every vote which didn't go to israel was actively a vote in protest to israel. My assumption is that mostly every vote to israel was to support their political actions while mostly every vote to other countries is because people like the music. With those two catagories, the votes to israel probably don't need more than 10% of the votes to beat an even field of 90% of the votes, since those votes are diversified.

Political reasons for voting have always been a part of eurovision, but it has never been this prominent and this dividing. If we were to embrace eurovision as a political contest, those public votes would have to be gathered and coordinated to support a single country to assure that israel wouldn't win. That's a level of political degeneracy which I hope that eurovision never reaches.
