I've never met an engineer who wanted to intentionally design products to break.

The beancounters on the other hand...

And this is the second biggest shopping season of the year, only beat by Christmas.

Einstein's most famous equation relates mass and energy: E=mc^2 . So, if you're not matter (mass), you're energy. Which, by the way, is how we make energy in fusion reactions, converting mass to energy.

That's the main joke, yes. There's also a subjoke that's a (relatively) obscure internet meme: Loss

Uhh, something tells me hair clippers are not pulling 160+W. It's a small DC motor that vibrates some clippers, not an electric scooter.

Sounds like you might benefit from some white noise sleeping at home. Can play it through your phone or even an old radio set to some quiet static.

Yup, tried and tested on the most recent alpha. I can confirm it works.

Jerboa had both in its latest alpha release on github, you should check it out.

What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it's come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I've tried it had the most compact and quick interface.

I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.

Or because they liked the colours for aesthetic reasons haha.

Also choosing a cloth colour has nothing to do with thermal mass and everything to do with absorbtivity/emissivity/reflectivity aka material properties affecting radiative heat transfer.

In any case, shirt colour has a small effect on temperature, maybe a 5°C (at most) difference between white and black, according to some studies. So unless you're really chasing the most optimal clothing, it's best to just wear what makes you happy.

There's an aftermath link in the op. Ship being towed by a tug while listing heavily to its port. The ship is definitely out of service if it can't move under its own power.
