And then bastardised.

Annoyingly, the US has two different "cups"

US legal units puts it as 240ml

US Customary Units puts it at 236.59ml

Then there's Imperial cups, which is 284.13ml

Didn't the Apollo missions use metric, though?

It's not the softener itself. It's the softener plus a dozen other little luxuries that all add up.

The Fedora 42 Beta is looking very tempting right now...

I've pre-ordered the Core Time 2.

Pre-orders are something I never usually do, but given this is essentially just an improved version of an existing product, as opposed to a Kickstarter, I feel more confident. And I can cancel the preorder at any time (plus I'll see reviews of the cheaper model before the Core Time 2 ships).

The price made me wince, though. It's very expensive for the functionality. Technically cheaper than the original watches adjusted for inflation, but that ignores the current-day smartwatch market. Still, I loved the Pebble, so I think it's worth it.

I just pre-ordered one, but the price made me wince 😬

I definitely think Apple is less susceptible to this, but people seem to forget that Apple literally has an ads business.

Look at the ads in Apple news and in a couple of other places. Apple isn't immune to injecting ads into the UX of their products.

Some countries actually hold them accountable and have reasonable privacy laws/laws about how you can use the user's data.

Running locally is the answer.

Certainly 3.

 
 

This appears to be a move to counter the UMPK gliding bombs Russia has started using recently to great effect against Ukraine.

Russia can launch these from Russian soil, safe from Ukrainian fire. These missiles will allow Ukraine to strike grounded planes and weapons stockpiles in Russia.

It's an interesting move, considering the US has been telling Ukraine not to use any western long-range weapons against Russia directly.
