I bought 3 HMD (Nokia) phones back-to-back.

So is Viagra legal during sports, or do they have to get surgery?

Is the shoe showing the scale of the map or is the map showing the scale of the shoe?

You show me the picture of a shoe (with a map in the background) and ask if it looks like a boot.
Well, it looks like a shoe. Also, why have you placed it on a map?

pop people like a kitten in a microwave

Does a kitten really pop in a microwave?
I would expect it to just boil as things normally do.

that will decimate the ozone layer in 15-30 years.

🤦
I always thought of de-orbiting just to burn-off as a waste, but now this.

I used to be pretty happy with the little extracts provided under the links in the search results.

We also have very little in the way of error correction, since it’s mostly not human readable

This is the main point.
Most well working OCR systems have a dictionary-check pass, which goes a long way into fixing the errors.

On the other hand, if all those files are the same font and size, it should be possible to tune the OCR to better match the requirements. Also reduce the possibilities to the character set used by the encoding.

I was recently using OCR for an unrelated project and it was totally unusable as is, because unlike what it expected (plain text documents), it got text on top of pictures. So now I have to find ways to preprocess and single out the text, removing the graphic lines that might be behind it, to make it readable.

So either way, it make it better to support Linux over MS Windows.

Although the map seems wrong altogether, simply because you will find different areas in the same country having different ways, this is one part that makes quite a bit of difference.
More urban areas might have a shoes on culture, specially depending upon how the room is designed.

I mean there are schools having outdoor and indoor shoes, both of which are proper shoes, so going just by the word meaning would make it wrong too.

Yes

But also Linux, where it’s typical to upstream hardware support and rely on existing ecosystems rather than release addon drivers or niche supporting apps.

Still possible though, right?
It does afterall support out of tree device drivers now.

Yeah, but now I’m not wearing slippers either so…
Is it really the same!?

And what of those cases when I go barefoot?

Shoes off inside the house is only really useful when one has shoes on, when outside.
Get your dogs some shoes.

I switch to slippers when inside.
What does that count as?

Considering that I am including a snake’s movements in “walking” in this context, I’d say that’s good enough.
Honestly though, considering 2/3 of the planet surface (and increasing) is water, one would think there would be some answer to this, but I suppose it has something to do with the physics of it…

• There is a lot of vertical space in the oceans and it is possible for some, to escape to depths that other species cannot.
• As compared to that, fast vertical movement in a land area will mostly include air-time, meaning gliding will give an advantage by reducing fall damage.
• There is a sharp drop in the buoyancy from water to air, meaning that anyone wanting to move to air to escape underwater threats will require much lower body densities, which in turn make it harder to have long deep-water time and there are more resources underwater anyway

So I think that the air-time of flying-fish is optimised more than enough for such a purpose and that the birds that we see diving to get food are more from the evolutionary route of - land animals that can fly, adapting to get food from deeper into the water.

Yes, because the checkout page gets revenue ⇒ the bottom line.

The points you say are the things Valve is doing extra to provide value to the customer.
The point I am saying, is the first thing that anyone working for money needs to care about.

steampowered checkout page:

• loads in a reasonable time
• has the same colour theme as the rest of the website

Epic checkout page:

• even the in-app checkout page is slower than the Steam web checkout page
  • is slow not only before loading but also after clicking the ‘place order’ button
• White colour on dark theme website/app

So while it needs to get out to breathe, it can still swim underwater for as long as it has breath. Nice.
However, those feet look like they can be used to walk.

While EGS increases its minimum Windows # requirements, Steam client is already available on Linux.
Although I would prefer being able to build it myself rather than keeping it in Firejail
