In my experience people can’t even tell how many balls you’re juggling after 3. 4, 5, 6, 7 all get “how many balls is that”, silly stuff like 3 ball factory blows more minds than 5 ball site swaps

Nonogram enjoyers might enjoy star battle, which I came across after having done lots of nonograms over the years(https://www.puzzle-star-battle.com/ or plenty of other places online). Though maybe it is a little too close to sudoku for some.

10x10 2star is the standard for me, I solved up to 6 stars but 10x10 is the sweet spot imo.

Voxelgram has gotten the most playtime out of me, the second dimension really makes it feel like whittling or something

I’ve recently been trying out the automations feature in the iOS shortcuts app to turn color filters off/on when opening/closing camera/photos/facetime so I can remove the triple click shortcut. It works well enough. Its disappointing but not surprising that in 2025 on an iPhone 15 pro this isn’t instant and takes a good half second for the color filters to turn off/on.

Every time I’ve encountered this in Texas it is at the perimeter of the stores parking lot such that if you park in some of the furthest parking spaces your cart will be locked up when you try to return it to the corral.

I’ve always assumed it is to prevent literally stealing the carts themselves moreso than shoplifters trying to shoplift entire cartloads of stuff.

People win streak gold stake Balatro, A20H slay the spire, unfair slice and dice, and plenty of other games in this category. Nothing wrong with playing a game for 10 hours and being done with it but calling them rng fiestas just because you can’t beat the game on the hardest difficulty every time after 10 hours is a bit dismissive of the level of effort that is put in to getting these games as tightly tuned as they are.

Is there some kind of marketing campaign by MathAcademy targeting hn or is it just an amazing product? I’ve seen multiple similar blog posts via here from blogs with very few or no other articles published, as well as various commenters singing its praises. Including other submissions by the submitter. Is it just that good?

Your advice to people in tech with Google and Meta on their CV who couldn’t snap up new jobs instantly was to go into the trades? Really?

I’m mind blown you were willing to come up with random stories for your own blood and decided reading out ai drivel to them would somehow produce a better experience for any party involved.

THCs effects on proprioception are interesting enough to be worth pursuing if you have any interests in the physical realm. Dancing, climbing, lifting weights, running. Clearly one should be careful and I wish weed was still good for me but it’s just anxiety city so I’ll leave it to the folks who haven’t ruined their brains to enjoy.

Wasn’t crime and punishment published periodically in a magazine or something like it? What does this have to do with the quality?
