It’s just so heartwarmingly cute.

Science@beehaw.org•‘It’s the perfect place’: London Underground hosts tests for ‘quantum compass’ that could replace GPSEnglish
4·2 years agoAh, they are talking about an inertial measuring unit. Basically, by measuring all acceleration you’ve experienced you can calculate your change in position. They can’t determine absolute position though, only relative, so this doesn’t so much replace GPS as assist it.
My understanding is that a lot of the reasons for defederation stemmed from a fundamental lack of sufficient moderator tools. Tools that have not appeared and the lack of which has prompted Beehaw to consider moving to a different ActivityPub supporting platform in the fediverse.

4·2 years agoAnd caffeine in the coffee would be listed in milligrams, but the alcohol in beer and spirits would be measured in percent and proof.

Music@beehaw.org•Chechnya bans music that is 'too fast or too slow'English
6·2 years agoWeird. That bans most marches too. 120 bpm isn’t all that fast.

2·2 years agoSincere apologies, I typed it correctly 2/3 times and messed up on number 3. Corrected.

2·2 years agoYou replied to jarfil with the words “this post”, it isn’t clear if “this post” refers to jarfil’s comment or to the article itself. Also, the use of “You” leads the reader to imply that the “You” is jarfil, rather than “You” meaning ‘anyone who tells someone to withhold their vote for a political stance’.

Finance@beehaw.org•Looking for recommendations on Fidelity low cost index fundsEnglish
6·2 years agoI follow the Bogleheads philosophy of investing and use the tenants of a Three-fund portfolio. I like the idea of riding the flows of the market at the lowest cost. Glancing at your list, you have some overlap between the total market and the various “cap” funds, and you don’t have any bond funds. So maybe add in some Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX) depending on how close you are to retirement.
Thanks for that, I just had a nice wave of nostalgia.
I always assumed that the Boom in Boomer Shooter was more “Gun go Boom”, which seemed to fit the genre quite well.

Food and Cooking@beehaw.org•Wendy’s says it won’t use surge pricing | CNN BusinessEnglish
4·2 years agoOoo! You’d think a double double is 4x so at 2x the price is a steal!
Sure looks like an R, but I wonder if that wasn’t always the idea. The shot of Deadpool in a car from the trailer is different from the screenshot on Marvel.com. Looks like they added in additional digital blood in post. Comparison here.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Hasbro Seeks to Sell IP “DND” and Has Had Preliminary Contact with TencentEnglish
5·2 years agoThey are already doing that. Patherfinder 2e itself is going through a ‘remaster’ under a completely new license, it has all the OGL remnants stripped out.

Space@beehaw.org•Want to get into stargazing? A professional astronomer explains where to startEnglish
2·2 years agoGetting out to the dark and just looking up is a really good suggestion of a place to start. Turn Left at Orion is a really good absolute beginner book too, so I second that recommendation as well. One resource I’d recommend that was missing from the article is the Cloudy Nights Forums. It’s one of the niche old-style forums that a lot of amateur astronomers frequent.

6·2 years agoYou can’t build chests in space, so there’s very limited buffering or surplus options.
I think the biggest change with space is that it appears that the asteroids are an infinite resource.
It really is that old. According to their Supreme Court amicus brief: “Rising from its humble beginnings as a print newspaper in 1756, The Onion now enjoys a daily readership of 4.3 trillion and has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history.” Seriously though, read that brief. It’s a masterful piece of satire.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Does anyone know of any kid-friendly "horror" games out there for children ~7 years old?English
8·3 years agoMaybe add the old LucasArts adventure game Grim Fandango to the list, it’s more comical than ‘scary’. It has a relatively recent remaster with modern controls. Some would say the original tank controls are a horror into themselves. Though looking at the ESRB rating it is T for teen.
He’s been back before too, drawing a few panels of Pearls Before Swine in 2014. The artist likened it to seeing bigfoot.

Gaming@beehaw.org•What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?English
3·3 years agoQuern - Undying Thoughts tickled that genre for me. As did Haven Moon and The Eyes of Ara.





My kitchen doesn’t have a vent to the outside, so I’d have to open windows to deal with any smoke or fumes from cooking. Since I got the air purifier it kicks in when I cook and cleans the air in minutes. I’ve also noticed improvements with my allergies since getting one.
