My grandmother made it all the time. My parents seldom made it. I have never made it. I associate it with hospitals and crappy school cafeterias.
They seem very backwards when there are drone displays and other forms of entertainment. Humans cling on to things way too long.
This might be your client app, maybe…? On Jerboa, tapping a post takes me to the lemmy comments first. Opening the link is a second deliberate tap.
I like being able to check how busy a place is, but not like this. Simple head count or an average wait time is good. Using web cams is creepy overkill. Typical tech bro invasive shit.

That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.
I had a buddy in the UK I chatted with on this thing in the early days. We thought we were so cool using it. We were not.
Oh cool, Cunningham’s Law in action.
These things are less safe, yet I see people driving aggressively and recklessly more than ever.
Here’s an updated way to bypass it. This Youtuber is a little cheerful-cheesy, but the info is good.
Skyscrapers typically take 2-5 years to build. I’m going to hazard a guess that a pyramid like the Great Pyramid of Giza would take more like 5-10 years.
There’s a lot of variables to this, especially the location and the source (quarry) and transportation of the high-quality limestone that you would need. You would also want to use some granite and other stone materials if you’re trying to match what the ancient Egyptians did. (If you’re allowed to use modern concrete and steel, it could change things dramatically.)
The Great Pyramid is about 147m tall and 230m wide along each side. Assuming it’s mostly solid stone, You would need roughly 2.5 million cubic meters of material.
Preparing and grading the site would go much faster with bulldozers and graders and the like, but is still a time-consuming process. Quarrying the limestone would also go much faster than the ancients because we have explosives, hydraulics, etc. But there’s still a lot of precision cutting and fitting to be done. Cranes would make placing the stones go faster but again, still time-consuming.
CAD software would also make the whole project faster and easier (and would further highlight how ingenious the ancient people were with this accomplishment). Experts already know a lot about the pyramids, but I bet if they built one they’d learn even more.
My wild guess is: if you marshaled enough resources and put a highly competent person in charge of it, you could get it done in 5 years.
Well, that’s what I get for punching down on our gumbo-eating friends.
Ha! Corrected. Thanks.

I am stuck with Windows 10 & 11 at work, on multiple various machines. Also some versions of Windows Server.
It honestly feels hostile towards the user now. For myriad reasons. It’s a constant battle for me to turn pointless crap off that it keeps turning back on with the next big update.
