I am pretty alright with spatial reasoning but have a hard time with left and right. Especially in multitasking scenarios. When driving during complicated situations and in unknown environments for example. I always get my guide to point or have a look at the nav.

Read the magicians after watching the series and it was such a drag. As mentioned in the Amazon ratings the writing style is just tedious to read... The emotional extent of the series was so much deeper in my opinion.

Rotating the tires is really important! I really hope you do it every month as the manufacturer requires. Few people do.

That would be awesome to look into for inspiration! Do you have a link for me?

Thought the same thing. Over time I replaced everything in my laptop that I could and specifically chose a laptop that is easyish to open and get parts for.

I would love for a better processor and graphics card but the mainboard and power supply does not allow for better hardware. So I will need to buy a different laptop some day. If it were as easy as ordering new parts and putting it in there without fear of incompatibility I would love that.

I don't know about 20 years ago but it loads pretty fast on my 200€ phone.

I just played through it on mobile. It works well! Costs like 10 bucks.

Edit: you will need a Bluetooth controller for your phone though. I would classify the on-screen controls are terrible.

Because maps for naval navigation are based on degrees latitude and longitude. So if you travel at sixty nautical miles per hour in latitudinal direction on this globe you will end up one degree further away from where you started. Angles are important in naval applications as well as aeronautical because ships and airplanes can and mostly do travel in straight lines.

One nautical mile is equal to 1.852 km good luck using that kind of number and converting it to meaningful information on the fly.

With digital systems it is of course not as important anymore (also they are using the metric definition and converting it to nautical miles internally) but courses are still plotted by hand on maps (eg. as a backup solution if your digital system goes belly up). Having a measuring system where one unit corresponds to something meaningful with little need to pronounce decimals all of the time seems like a good idea to me.

So for example you can travel 111.12km in latitudinal direction or 60 nautical miles which is equal to one degree latitudinal distance.

60 is properly divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 12 and so on so it makes quick mental calculations easier.

The unit just makes sense for the application it is designed for.

I usually only steam frozen veggies. Then after steaming I might stir fry. If I do the second I pull them a little before they are soft on the inside.

So this is a clusterfuck.

Servingspoons are used to serve up food.

Tablespoons are the largest spoons used for eating but according to the term is now used by many english speaking regions the same way as serving spoon. 15 ml in volume typically

Dessertspoons are used primarily for desserts but also for soup and other stuff. 10ml in volume typically

Teaspoons are used to stir tea and coffee. 5 ml in volume typically.

I only know serving spoons, tablespoons and teaspoons. Desert spoons are in the middle and I have probably a similar sized spoon but never known there is a difference. To me it is a smallish tablespoon. But that is where the confusion is coming from. For some the scale just shifted up or down depending on the way you are looking at it.

Yeah this should be standardized. 🥲

That was a big point of controversy with my childhood school friends, actually.

I was firmly part of team table spoon. Some of my friends would use teaspoons. I always regarded that kind of strange behaviour as first sings of psychopathy.

No one I know uses dessertspoons for every day use. Maybe some own some but it is most likely the fancy table silver kind of thing that will only get used once or twice a year.

Personally I have never heard about them before today.

Es gibt die gute Seite vom Rhein (die auf der man selber lebt) und die schlechte (die andere Rheinseite) da wird viel schindluder getrieben und viel auf diese arbiträre Grenze geschoben. Ich kenne keinen. Der das wirklich ernst nimmt aber ist als lustig gemeinte Abgrenzung gemeint. Ist so ein wenig wie Düsseldorf-Köln eigentlich ist da regional alles sehr ähnlich. Das platt ist ähnlich. Das Bier irgendwie auch (beides aus kleinen gläsern. Das eine schmale hohe das andere breitere kürzere und der Geschmack ist mMn auch irgendwo ähnlich. Die regionale traditionelle Küche) aber auf den Unterschieden wird hart rumgeritten und sich übereinander lustig gemacht.

"Du kommst ja auch von der anderen Rheinseite" kann man einfach immer für alles was man nicht versteht anbringen.
