Here in Germany the forum culture is still somewhat alive, social media did take a big cut though.

Same here in Germany, if you only do it once or twice safely you will still pass. I dont know if you would pass if you do it every time. I sometimes also confuse left and right, but it only happened in the lessons a few times, not in the test.

In Europe nobody in their right mind would drive themselves to the hospital if they have an emergency. Sometimes it makes sense if someone else drives the injured person there, but most of the time we would just call an ambulance. Here in Germany you have to pay 10€ at most for one trip.

It is likely that we humans or our ancestors were responsible for the extinction of most of the megafauna around the world, so we would only be undoing our own damage I guess.

I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.

So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.

If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.

It also breaks the flow of the video, which is why I have started skipping them. I noticed just how much nicer videos without any sponsorships are because you dont have to dedicate time to lead into and out of an ad and can continue the video without explaining everything twice.

I also dont see any value gained by me or the creator if I fully watch the 100th squarespace commercial, as I dont get to hear anything new.

But the most egregious videos are where they try to hide that they are transitioning into an ad, like by creating some minute long argument that leads from the topic to the sponsor. Which leads to me not only having wasted my time for the actual ad, but also the transition.

What isnt one today?

With Lemmy you have a selection of echo chambers, so its much more diverse in the end.

If you have a metal bowl that you no longer need, you can put a roll of toilet paper in there and then douse the whole thing in cooling oil.

Once ignited you will have a stinky lamp, so I would only recommend doing this outside.

You can also run the Network Controller on any PC or even Home Assistant if you dont need to do any advanced traffic routing features.

The only disadvantage is that updates cannot be automatically applied while the network controller is off, the APs however do work fine without it, as long as they are configured once.
