A good, soft, and most importantly CLEAN cotton or microfiber cloth with some isopropyl is what I use. Rinse any dirt or debris in the sink, then iso on the cloth and clean/dry. It’s not the cloth that scratches lenses, it’s the dirt and harder bits of dust that rub on the lens using the cloth.

And for sure don’t lob the bottle in an arc to your side instead of over your head so you don’t shower yourself in burning liquid. Or score the bottle along the base with a glass cutter/concrete if you are unsure whether the impact will shatter or not.

The cloth won’t fully seal the bottle, so liquid can fly out and splash from the cloth. If you don’t throw it properly or if you “fling” the rag you are going to set yourself or something nearby on fire and lob a non-flaming bottle. Storm matches burn for awhile, and you just need it to ignite when the bottle breaks, so you want to use a liquid with a low flash point and seal the bottle before chucking it.

Oh, name and shame for that shit.

Richard Burke at Casper College does this and doesn’t even use the book. Costed over $150.

Garbage practice that should be criminal fraud.

Everyone except management.

It’s beyond fucked.

I can speak firsthand that this is the case for Kroger in Illinois. Their unions fight to cap wages below living wage levels, pick some of the most expensive insurance on the market, and work with Kroger corporate to eat away your hourly rate with sliding payscales based on incredibly arbitrary criteria (overnight premium, but it only counts for 4 hours of a graveyard shift as an example that happened to me).

They are actually worse than not having a union, because then they could make more than $23 an hour in Chicago.

Oh, did I mention the union contract specifically prohibits strikes and any form of worker retaliation?

Awful company.

I like ending my sentences with and.

It is insanely disingenuous to think that manufacturing capabilities that could cheaply mass produce waterproof cameras and consumer electronics for 30+ years couldn’t handle miniaturization.

On that note, I never once had water ingress issues with my S5 in a few years of ownership, and I would shower and swim with it. Just had to make sure the back was all the way on for the gasket to seal (the phone would detect it and warn you)

I don’t know why people keep parroting that crap. PHONES CAN HAVE REPLACEABLE BATTERIES AND STILL BE FULLY WATERPROOF.

I had a galaxy S5, it had an SD card slot, replaceable battery, headphone jack… AND WATERPROOF.

It was also thinner than my current OnePlus with the camera bump.

12 is how you slice through a major tendon in the palm and permanently impair the use of your fingers. Nana needs to be shown how to use a knife.

Corn sugar is made up of a pretty large amount of glucose, so eating corn is like eating one of the shock tabs. Which is also a good way to confirm that it’s glucose; rice, beans, and chocolate cake all contain pretty small amounts of just glucose, the other sugars need time to break down.

Vapor deposited metal film. Expensive, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they already use exactly that to handle interference from the sun. Even non-coherent light can wash the sensors out if you have enough of it.

You are going to be looking at some variant of oculink, you can get riser cards that convert a PCI-e or M.2 socket into an oculink port if you don’t have one available stock. Still though, if you are building it yourself why even bother? You are going to add a significant cost to the build for marginal or no benefit over buying a mini PC with an oculink port and a known compatible dock. EGPU options are not plug and play, they rarely just work and need significant tinkering and workarounds and will come with noticeable drawbacks in the best case scenario.

There is overhead but Vulkan allows you to batch draw calls in a far more efficient manner. It can also generally use multi threading to feed a GPU even if the game isn’t coded with that in mind. Basically Vulkan offers so many improvements to efficiency and parallelization that the overhead is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall speedup in draw call optimization alone.

It has nothing to do with the answer being wrong, it’s how you get there. If you fail to subtract seven, realize your mistake, and correct it you have already passed the test. People with dementia will either start to count down by the wrong amount, start counting up, stuff like that. You are testing whether they can abstract verbal instructions and maintain a consistent train of thought while performing trivial calculations.

Counting down on your fingers one by one and only saying every seventh number would be considered a perfect score once you make it to about 63 if you don’t lose track of what you are doing or start forgetting numbers.
