wow a text only website isnt using javascript.
therefore no website should rely on javascript, ever
what is the point of this post exactly? seems incredibly pointless and short sighted

Ok but what are the actual stats?
I can’t imagine more than 1 percent of users have JS disabled. I think I can live without that.

I personally don’t use it because the sensors are always fiddly and if I am in an emergency I don’t want to struggle opening my phone.

I am surprised a 737 is only 100k lbs, I would have assumed like 250k. A blue whale weighs significantly more.

I noticed that mixing a 2 word item with something else will often combine the words instead of looking at the meaning:
super volcano + man = super human
but then it breaks if you mix further:
super human + giraffe = super giraffe ?

There used to be webgames with a similar premise. Pretty fun.
I think some of the recipes don’t make sense and it would be a lot better if each thing only had one recipe to create it.

Are you sure? Chatbots seem to give better results under “pressure”.

The “dudesy” thing is not a real LLM or anything similar. Its just a gimmick for some dumb comedy podcast with Will Sasso. It is very obviously not a real chatbot and is scripted. I am almost 100% certain this is the same thing. One of the comedians in the podcast probably wrote this.

gps is accurate enough to tell what room you are in. Google knows roughly how large each addressed building is, theyre outlined on the map. Theres no reason to assume this particular feature would be less accurate than every other GPS feature.

That is create-react-app not react itself but I agree webdev has reached a point of schizophrenia regarding dependencies and performance.

Sounds neat but its really expensive and will never get pictures as good as a real camera despite costing as much. You can also just use Merlin on your phone.
