I watched the video, but don’t understand the point you are trying to make. It was only a How things are made collage from some factory.
Thank you for sharing this, my smile got wider the more I read.

I find it really strange that the IBA list does no longer include the gimlet.

4 is broken link for me.
Some are also geoblocked. I couldn't watch any of the Kieslowski films I tried.

The US price increased 20% (999->1199). The change in exchange rate between USD and EUR adds another 10 percentage points. So the new price in EUR should* be about 30% more. The old price was €1229. Add 30% to €1229 and you end up at €1598.

So yes, Apple stiffed us for one Euro on the M2.

*Assuming the old EUR price was "correct" in some sense.

Carbon steel should not have any non-stick coating applied from factory. Using a pure carbon steel pan will create a slick surface. Look at e.g. DeBuyer for a good brand.

In your case I think that oil gets over the lip and around the pan.

The Mozart chord looks like a G# min major 7 to me, or am I missing something?

I have the same workflow as you. It is not that hard to write ‘make test’ when you want to run your tests.

I think there’s something I don’t understand about GP:s workflow and needs.

Sounds like you have a similar setup to mine [1]. I have added PDF as an output format using pandoc. Also GitHub actions to automatically generate a new version when I push a commit.

Would you mind sharing yours? I am always looking for inspiration and ways to improve.

You should ask your marketing people to back up their beliefs with research. While you are waiting think about how you react on other sites that use pop-ups. For me it’s an insta-close. YMMV.

This was a very good analysis. A fourth point is that drug users rarely give away their hard earned drugs to strangers.

Perhaps auto correct did a trick on you. Her name is Laurene Powell Jobs.
Re:The road to electric is filled with tiny cars on Friday February 26, 2021 @02:25AM (#26272183)
I’m confused. The article you linked to says the opposite:

> Ironically, much of this trend is fueled by the fact that safety sells, and the biggest, heaviest cars are the safest—for their occupants, at least.

Vote with your money. Don’t buy stuff from companies that are doing the wrong thing.
Re:No excess deaths in Sweden compared to the last ten years on Wednesday November 18, 2020 @01:38AM (#25133821)
I think it is pretty clear from this chart that Sweden has excess mortality and that they correctly account for COVID-19 deaths: https://morberg.github.io/covid-notebook/excess.html
Old school wetshaving with a brush, shaving soap, and a DE razor have worked wonders for my skin.
Re:A Swedish doctor's perspective on Covid on Monday August 10, 2020 @04:06AM (#24106753)
Several weeks is a bit of an exaggeration. Lag in reporting has been around 4-5 days on average. Lately the lag has increased somewhat as the number of reported deaths has gone down.

Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself at https://morberg.github.io/covid-notebook/covid.html

Professional tools make construction a lot easier. I always rent tools and someone that knows how to use them.
Re:Why we won’t be supporting Sign in with Apple on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @03:20AM (#23687533)
Do you have a number for “a lot of people”? I am very skeptical of this data point.

This email address is used for a lot of communication with Apple, e.g. receipts from App Store.

That looks quite nice. Is there an alternative for Safari?
Re:Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn on Thursday June 11, 2020 @09:28AM (#23488615)
I use LinkedIn as a Rolodex where the contact info is kept up to date by the people in it. Professional contacts only, and only people I’ve worked with or met through work.
