even better yet, make that durable phone shell user-replacable! you can even have those shells in different styles and colours so users can accessorize their devices any way they like! this would also give birth to a thriving industry of aftermarket shells for your phones, where small makers can even 3D-print their own shells for sale.

because we sleep at night and are active during the day, and so we need to track that in a way that is universal. if i mention 12:00, people understand that it is noon where i am, and if i mention 22:00, they know it's bedtime.
the whole point of time zones is to have time cohesion in a wider region within margin of error of solar noon, so people on the far east and far west of a time zone are close enough to solar noon at 12:00. you can take a train to a neighbouring city without having to worry about needing to adjust your timekeeping devices by a few minutes.
to put your scenario into perspective, china has already done what you suggested on a smaller scale: the entire country is on UTC+8 for the sake of "unity" and "national cohesion". beijing loves it; 12:00 is still noon there! except it ain't in xinjiang and tibet. xinjiang has its own unofficial xinjiang time zone of UTC+6, and so people have to specify which time zone they're talking about and convert times between the two time zones in conversation because the uyghers use xinjiang time and the han chinese use beijing time, and you can imagine the confusion and also technical issues that has arisen from that.
imagine that, but 12 times worse. no thanks, i'll do the simple math of converting time zones if i ever need to communicate internationally.
fuck daylight savings. take that shit out back.
The fact that much of the world has defined masculinity as "rugged, raw, and remorseless rock n' roll" is just wild to me.
Imagine denying yourself the ability to enjoy flowery scents and having emotions just to prove that you have a penis.
Splitgate 1 is Halo movement and gunplay + Portal.
Splitgate 2 is Apex Legends movement + Halo gunplay + Portal.
It feels really smooth, and the production quality is definitely higher, but somehow I prefer the simplicity of Splitgate 1.
you teleport by creating a copy of yourself in the new location and then destroying the original.
"AI" has been a very common and very old term used in video games to refer to NPCs that react to player behaviour. It's also sometimes used to refer to bots that emulate player logic to play a game, such as in this CB video.
If you missed that much and yet still know about machine learning: welcome back to society!
i don't drive, but reverse parking is the norm here in hk.
Honestly, this lawsuit is laughable. James Earl Jones himself allowed his voice to be used to train AI before his passing, and his family has given their blessing on this implementation in Fortnite.
Besides, it's not like this Darth Vader AI is replacing any jobs; it's a chat bot, capable of giving live responses to players across many live matches ongoing around the world. Unless it is feasible to hire a massive team of Darth Vader voice actors to be able to respond to player requests to "force choke me daddy Vader" live across hundreds of ongoing matches while staying completely in-character 24/7, their argument about Epic Games "replacing voice actors with AI" holds no water.
just hang towels in front of and behind it lmao
he should be the one wearing headphones. you do not deserve to be gaslit into suffering through this poor excuse for "accommodations" for him.
multipoint bluetooth headphones exist. open back headphones exist. make him use them.
if he's not willing to budge, you'll need to separate the TV from your PC; one has to be relocated to a different room, preferably as far as possible. that plus shutting the doors should be the maximum amount of effort you'll put into accommodating your partner. if that is inadequate, i recommend couples therapy; or just dump him.
oh boy, yeah no don't do that. fermented anything should be used in small quantities to flavour a much larger quantity of stuff, like rice.
