BEFORE YOU WAKE and BEFORE YOU SLEEP by Adam Nevill are FREE on Kindle right now. Regular Kindle, not unlimited or anything. Just an FYI if you want some free spooky tales by a really good author. (Six stories in total.) 🤘🏼
@stina_marie@horrorbooks@horror Thank you! In Germany, only Before you wake is down to 0,00€, but the other one is just 0,99€. Great news 🥰
Btw. I am currently reading his The Ritual. I really like Adam Nevill.
I didn’t say 1/5? I just said definitely longer. But I’ll say it doesn’t need to be 5x the price of Chrono trigger. I’m happy it looks nice and is a good remake but it should be like half that price at most.
Also, idk reviews saying 10 hours so idk if it’s easier and shorter with the remake or if they’ve already played it this time is shorter, or they’re exaggerating but 14 to 24 (which almost doubles if you want to play all the endings, and then idk how much the added content adds but it’s more than 0 hours.)
Bin auch knapp am Bund vorbeigeschrammt. Mit -9,0 Dioptrien war ich noch "Wehrtauglich mit Einschränkungen". Deshalb musste ich noch den Eignungs- und Verwendungstest mitmachen. Bund: "Was machen sie so?" Ich: "Abi, aber nebenbei verdiene ich mein Geld mit Programmieren, ca. 30 Wochenstunden." Bund: "Nicht tauglich für EDV-Bedienung". Das einzige, zu dem ich Taug hätte, wäre Musiker oder Funker gewesen. Halbes Jahr später: -9,5 Dioptrien => Untauglich für Wehrdienst.
Yeah but C makes more sense. 0-10 is cold but not freezing, 10-20 is cool, 20-30 is warm, 30-40 is hot, 40+ is "you're gonna die of heat exposure! Get inside, what are you doing?!" increasing in urgency with the number. If it's in the negatives, it's the same as the 40+ except "cold exposure".
VERY generally speaking, 20s are warm, 30s are hot. Humidity changes this a lot. And yes, personal sensitivity to heat plays a role. I live in a dry climate, and I feel rather comfortable until we’re close to 30 ºC. I remember reading something like the ideal room temperature for humans was around 20-22 ºC.
For those using F, this is, more or less, the scale of C:
Below 0: freezing (0 ºC being the freezing point of water, duh!)
0 to 10: cold (don’t go out without a coat)
10s: cool (a sweatshirt or light coat may do)
20s: warm
30s: hot
40s: uncomfortably hot (stay in the shade and hydrate)
50s: you’re dead (or you wish you were. Unsafe for humans)
It makes more sense in terms of our perception. But from a science perspective Klevin Kelvin makes more sense since you can’t go lower than 0 K and negative temperature doesn’t really make sense, since it’d mean something like negative energy.
Taking this opportunity to argue why Fahrenheit over Celsius makes way more sense. Fahrenheit is essentially based on a scale of 0 to 100, which is a scale we use for most things in life. Yes we can go below 0 or above 100, but it’s such a perfect scale to understand exactly HOW hot or cold something is.
It’s 70 degrees outside? Wow, we’re at 70% heat. I bet that feels really nice and not too hot. Oh no it’s 100 degrees so we’re at 100% heat? Probably want to stay inside today. Water freezes once we get to 32%? Makes sense, that’s pretty cold. I’ll need to wear a winter coat. 0% outside? No way I want to go out in that.
In terms of understanding how how or cold it is outside, looking at the temperature as a number out of 100% is a perfect way of understanding that and having a frame of reference.
Celsius is so dumb. A 70 degree day in summer sounds great. 70% heat, not too hot, not too cold, just right. But convert that to Celsius? It’s 21 degrees in the summer? What does that even mean? Stupid.
Also because of the way the math works, the scale for Celsius makes no sense. It’s 0 degrees out in the U.S., that’s -18 Celsius. But if it’s 100 in the U.S., that’s only 38 Celsius? What kind of stupid scale runs from -18 to 38? 0 to 100 is the way to go.
Imagine if test scores ran from -18 to 38. Would you support this nonsensical scale then?
To be clear, I’m on board with the metric system and I definitely don’t think the U.S. does everything right. But Celsius is trash.
I get where you’re coming from cause you’re used to F, so comparing it to C naturally keeps you thinking of F as baseline (would be the same for me the other way around). But saying that C aint on a 0-100 scale is just objectively wrong. At 0 C water freezes, at 100 C water boils. It’s still a 0-100 scale, just based on something different. When it comes to metric vs imperial, it’s an easy conclusion to me, when it comes to temperature I think it’s more nuanced. I don’t have a better explanation on the difference other than “F is human focused” while “C is science focused” (I know, doesn’t quite cover it, just the best I got)
But then again, it really comes down to what you’re used to feeling “right”. For example, I could make similar conversions from C to F instead, and get weird numbers (water freezes at 32, and boils at 212? That makes no sense)
Never had too strong of an opinion on what temperature unit to use, but I will say this. C is a lot closer to K (kelvin) which is what is used for science, while converting F to K is a mess. So the one benefit C gives is a slightly easier time to get into that
I do need to let the nerd in me get this out too, F used to also be defined by water freezing/boiling. Meaning that technically C is a 0-100 scale, while F is a 32-212 scale. (Nowadays they’re both defined by K, making this point kinda irrelevant)
So 0°F was defined as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (why in the world?). Originally, 90°F was set as human body temperature, which was later changed first to 96°F, and now it’s about 98.6°F.
Celsius is just: 0°C is the freezing temperature of water 100°C is the boiling temperature of water
Nobody uses a scale between -18 and 38. People in countries using Celsius just learned as a child that body temperature is 38°C, that’s all. -18°C has no special meaning to us.
At 0°C outside it’s freezing (32°F). 10°C is quite cool (50°F), you’ll need a jacket. 20°C is a comfortable temperature for me, if it’s sunny (68°F). 30°C is getting rather warm (86°F). 40°C is hell outside, or a bad fever (104°F). To boil water, heat it to 100°C (212°F).
I get that this seems confusing at first when you’re used to completely different orientation points, but for people who are used to C, it’s very intuitive.
Fahrenheit has one advantage here: You’re used to it. If you’re used to Celsius, you know that 25° is warm and 5° is cold and don’t give a shit about it not being a 0-100 scale for that particular use case.
The 0-100 thing is pretty much the only argument I’ve ever heard in favor of Fahrenheit btw. Again, if you’re used to one of them, that’s the one that will make the most sense.
Being used to Celsius has the advantage of automatically being used to Kelvin. For example, if you ever want to calculate anything to do with the energy required to heat something to a certain temperature, you will have a way better time with Kelvin. Being used to and measuring in Celsius helps a lot here.
But sure, I get that you’re used to Fahrenheit. It’s just that the whole world has decided to use Celsius. Honestly, for good reason.
F has that too. Below 0, f it’s cold. Above 100, f it’s hot. 0-25 winter sports baby, 25-50 bleh it’s wet and nasty, 50-75 chefs kiss, 75-100 let’s hit the beach.
Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…
-20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
-10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.

NextDNS has presets to block OS tracking, this is different from just Ads. Any DNS with variable blocklists can use these. There is a windows one, but not sure about Xiaomi.
You dont need google services to use Aurorastore. It works currently.
Also try creating a shelter profile and then disabling the play services using adb in the main one with
Google play services spy on everything with privileged permissions (all) as they are system apps. On GrapheneOS you can install them as regular user apps, and they still work.

Laut Kuchendiagramm sollen nur 5% nicht christlich sein? Muslime allein machen nach verschiedenen Quellen zwischen 6-7% aus, laut Religionsmonitor 2023:
8,5 Prozent sind Muslime, Buddhisten, Hindus. Juden machen zusammen nur rund 0,3 Prozent aus.
Das sind dann schon fast 9%.
Edit: Laut Religionsmonitor sind auch nur 36% konfessionslos, laut Kuchendiagramm 43%.
Der Artikel ist wirr oder scheint zumindest interessant mit den Zahlen zu spielen, um mehr Bla bla aus einer Zahl zu erzeugen.
Es klingt wie eine Erfolgsmeldung für die deutsche Konjunktur: Die Bundesrepublik steigt in diesen Monaten zur drittgrößten Volkswirtschaft der Welt auf. So prognostiziert es der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) im neuesten World Economic Outlook.
Ich nehme an nach BIP. Ich nehme weiter an gemessen in USD. (Eigentlich unabhängig von der Währung, so lange man keine Währungseffekte herein rechnet.) Glaube auch die Meldung hatten wir schon.
Doch Deutschland hat wenig zu dieser Meldung beigetragen.
Hey. Wir haben doch … äh … eine ~~Regierung, Wirtschaft, ~~ Meinung…
Japan, das den dritten Platz abgeben muss, wächst inflationsbereinigt sogar stärker als Deutschland.
What? Das widerspricht doch der Feststellung oben?
Vermutung: Japan wächst in eigener Währung, also nominell in JPY? Auch dann, wenn man die japanische Inflationsrate herausrechnet, also real in JPY?
Und zwar stärker als DE??? Da steige ich aus.
Allerdings ist die Landeswährung Yen so stark unter Druck, dass die japanische Wirtschaft in Dollar gemessen hinter die deutsche Wirtschaft zurückfällt.
Halten wir fest. Die JP Wirtschaft verliert nominell in USD. (Und real wahrscheinlich auch, was die Aussage oben wieder merkwürdig erscheinen lässt.)
Denn nominell, also nicht um die Inflation bereinigt, wird das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) Japans 2023 laut IWF um 0,2 Prozent schrumpfen, während das BIP Deutschlands nominell um 8,5 Prozent steigt.
Ich nehme an, immer noch USD.
Japan kommt dann auf eine Wirtschaftsleistung von 4,23 Billionen Dollar, Deutschland auf 4,42 Billionen Dollar.
Kurzfassung: Die JP-Wirtschaft ist im Eimer, der JPY auch, aber wenn man beides durcheinanderwürfelt, dann sieht man das nicht auf den ersten Blick. DE steht auch nicht besser da.

Yes, but managing that equity comes at a cost itself.
If a hurricane comes and floods my basement, it is 100% $0 to me, not my problem.
And, more importantly, I will have more capital available to me to be a first time home buyers by being patient, which will allow me to build equity faster in the long run.
