I don't know what would cause a second or more of keyboard-specific delay.

Hmm.

I think the first step I'd try is running them in windowed mode with evtest running in a terminal alongside your game, so that you can see both at once. That can display a list of all keyboard events as they come in. If evtest is showing the events immediately as they come in, but Doom isn't responding quickly, then the kernel is reporting the events quickly, and it's Doom not processing them quickly. If evtest is delaying display, then there has to be something at the hardware or kernel level that's problematic.

That won't alone solve your problem, but it'll help narrow down what the cause is.

But it is particularly concerning for cheap, uncertified chargers. These often lack appropriate levels of protection and can be a fire hazard.

I mean, you could hypothetically have an unsafe charger that plugs into wall power, but I don't think that that's specific to chargers. Any electrical device that plugs into wall power could hypothetically be unsafe.

In the case of chargers, the power supply is external to the device being powered and uses a standard interface, so it's easy to examine and replace. I think that the only thing that comes close are external, semi-standardized power supplies with barrel plugs. So if you want to make sure that you have, say, all UL-marked chargers (in the US; a CE mark isn't really the same thing in the EU but is the closest analog that I'm aware of) you can do that fairly easily compared to ripping an internal power supply out of a device. But I'm not convinced that USB chargers in particular are especially problematic relative to other forms of power supply or wall-power-connected device.

I think they intended this meaning.

when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.

Huh.

Is the association with the word circle? Like, what does the concept of a circle involve?

I strongly suspect that the overwhelming majority of people who use Windows are going to use the OS preinstalled by an OEM, and won't ever install Windows themselves.

Sometimes the mic and/or speakers on the controller get selected as primary devices when I plug it in, forcing me to make my real mic and speakers the default again.

Run pavucontrol and disable those devices.

EDIT: Let me grab my laptop and I'll tell you precisely where that is. One moment.

EDIT2: On the Configuration tab, for "Profile" for that device, choose "Off".

Outside of formal settings, I'd say that it's uncommon for women to wear skirts or dresses in day-to-day life now.

Menswear is considerably more casual. This is a trend that's been going for over a century or so, so it certainly didn't just happen during my life, but it did significantly change in that time.

I haven't noticed that myself. I've found that pretty much anything pulls up at least some results.

I note that you don't give an example, and just thinking...if what you're searching for is NSFW, most search engines that I've glanced at these days default to having some form of adult content filter on by default.

But other than that, I can't think of a new filter that's shown up. And I think that search engines are only indexing more content these days.

If your search is something that you don't mind sharing an example of, would you mind doing so?

I'd go further than that. I remember smoking being pretty common everywhere in the 1980s, and cigarette butts being common anywhere outdoors in a public setting.

I rarely see anyone smoking anymore, and rarely see a single cigarette butt.

That being said, where you are in the US is gonna be a factor, and there are some countries that do still see a fair bit of smoking.

 

The price of oil has jumped 5% after US President Joe Biden said the US was discussing possible strikes by Israel on Iran’s oil industry.

Asked on a visit if he would support Israel striking Iran’s oil facilities, Biden said: “We’re discussing that”, according to Bloomberg.

 

This is merely a bullet point on the main article, but seems more-significant to me than the article's main title, and has now been cited on a number of other news sites:

Iranian source tells Al Jazeera Iran sent a message to the US via Qatar saying that it does not seek regional war but adding that “the phase of unilateral self-restraint has ended”. It also warned any Israeli attack would be met with an “unconventional response” that includes targeting Israeli infrastructure.

 

Quick summary: an analysis of the Iranian ballistic missiles used in the attack in April showed them to demonstrate dramatically worse performance than had been expected of them.

The fighting is increasing fears about oil supplies, but those worries are offset by greater global production and slowing demand in China.
