A lot of people have posted impressive things here, but this is the first one that really hits me as shockingly difficult.
I like the game, but have never seen the last level outside of YouTube, and can’t imagine lasting longer than 10 seconds on it. I can barely reach 12s on the non-hyper version of it.
I played Exponential Idle for a while, and while I lost my highest progress, I have an old save where I got to 101019096.3
The number of digits in that number is itself a number with over 19,000 digits.
It’s so big that if you take the square root - so it has half as many digits, the result would be written about the same but without the “.3” at the end.
Twitter.
On my porn account of course, that’s the only thing it’s still good for. And OP did ask for obscene.
I found out about it just by searching for sleep apnea surgery or some such. Then I got a referral for a sleep study I think and from there a referral to the particular doctor who evaluated me and later did the surgery.
The way it works is stimulating a nerve that triggers a muscle that moves my tongue forward, and it does so once every few seconds (meant to match my breaths I think).
The remote is used to turn it on (with a delay so I fall asleep before it actually starts), delay it if I wake up in the night, and turn it off in the morning. Also controls the intensity which has to be enough to work but not wake me up.
It better keep a local backup so it can boot in low coverage areas. Of course that would mildly compromise the security aspect
I have one much like this (in the US) which is a different brand. It’s not app controlled, I have a remote that uses induction to talk to the implant (but not charge it as far as I can tell, it’s just a ten year permanent battery)
CPAP didn’t work well for me and this seems to help. My implant’s brand is ‘Inspire’ which is a breathing pun. (Synonym of inhale) But of course this is not medical advice, talk to your doc, etc.
This is horrifying, but the comment about the scoop not being released yet is hilarious in connection to Duke Nukem

The Sphinx : Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage…
Mr. Furious : …your rage will become your master? That’s what you were going to say. Right? Right?
The Sphinx : Not necessarily.
I wonder if there’s a word for when a whole phrase has two opposite meanings without one of the words in it being a contronym (or using sarcasm, etc)
The example that made me think of this is a song lyric:
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before!
There’s the intended meaning of better than ever… But if I were to dance it would also be like I’ve never danced before.
Those don’t eliminate the spoiler effect, but it does end up looking different. (Maybe has a different name in this form?)
My blue state has a blanket primary, and this last election I saw that demonstrated:
One race had two Republicans and like half a dozen Democrats and another half a dozen in other parties. The Republican vote of course was split between the two candidates. The Democrat vote was split like a hydra and we very nearly had (few hundred votes away) the two Republicans go to the general!
Fortunately, the top Dem barely squeaked into second place, and then easily won the general, but it was mighty close.
Then do STAR, or approval. Those are simple. And I think even more likely to allow 3rd parties.
Pretty much anything is better than FPTP.
That’s odd. At my local pool they very definitely are in the water with us more often than not during lessons. How else can they demonstrate techniques, and watch us closely to see what we are doing wrong?
There is one exception I’ve noted - the coaches of swim teams seem to mostly stand at the front or back of the section their team is using. I’m not sure what that’s about, since I’ve never been on a team like that. But I can guess it has to do with seeing everyone at once.

“Fast open-source firmware for the PineTime smartwatch with many features, written in modern C++.”
Ah, yeah, I do think that would be ‘safer’ in a way
It might not be as utopian as you are thinking.
A famous one of these was the headline

When a strip tease goes just a bit too far.
