Would be nice if it didn't advertise taking pills of questionable efficiency.

Please, do remember that pilled vitamins are a form of medical treatment. If you don't have a condition that requires taking them, most likely they won't have any effect at all. In worst cases, they can be harmful.

If you think you have any sort of vitamin deficiency, nutritional problems or anything along those lines, consult with a doctor first.

Stuff like BSD, Minix, maybe some curios individuals on Solaris? For mobile, Symbian, Windows Mobile? Also, probably all that don't report their OS in the user agent.

I know a couple of Japanese people running Linux on their desktops. So, I say the counting method is borked somewhere.

Or get into NFTs? That community would gladly overexplain the term "fungibility" to you. Just give your wallet to someone you trust for safekeeping while you do your research.

I only remember useful things. And I consider these useful because I did some low level graphics programmed once and had to use them in practice. Once you understand why these things exist, it becomes that much easier.

If someone didn't learn enough trigonometry in school:

1+tan^2^c = cos^2^c/cos^2^c + sin^2^c/cos^2^c = (cos^2^c + sin^2^c)/cos^2^c = 1/cos^2^c;

sqrt(1/cos^2^c) = |sec c|

And here is for the people who still don't get the jokeThe reading of the answer is very similar to the word "sexy", which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO.

Well, on the side of easy ones there is "if the last digit is divisible by 2, whole number is divisible by 2". Also works for 5. And if you take last 2 digits, it works for 4. And the legendary "if it ends with 0, it's divisible by 10".

The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.

E.g. 299'999 → 29'999 - 18 = 29'981 → 2'998 - 2 = 2'996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.

It's a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.

You can mod Minecraft pretty much into anything of your liking. Never made something as casual, but it's possible for sure.

How would one go about using that sink?

Well, it's never explicitly stated, but it's the most convincing theory we have about the origins of Cathedral City and all that came with it.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that without Caim there would be no dragons and flower in the first timeline and no maso in the second one. At least people in the second one would survive until the alien invasion. If they fought back successfully, people in both timelines would survive just fine.

 

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?
