I have to tell you, that Action Park shit is still sitting with me… 😂

Seriously though, thanks for managing that community, it’s a good 'un. I’ve woken up many a morning to a wiki page you led me to lol

It’s an affliction of mine that I’m happy to share with others. ♡

I comment on the stuff I find interesting but there’s lots of cool stuff on there. Great community
The time you guys go to sleep affects how tired you feel in the morning? Damn, must be nice

DIN for the win

The font, not the institution as the standards are fucking expensive

The DIN A Paper format is magical though. (Here CGP Gray video link)
There are a lot of important standards. The hight of a door lever, a light switch or an average stair for example.
Yes, and many are very old. Like 1920-ish old. So they slightly update them and invalidate those that become public domain. They are systematically milking standards for money and making it harder to enter industries legitimately. Maybe more money-burning start-ups and their investors would care about standards if the red tape wasn’t behind a paywall. Now they just wing it and hope to IPO before their violations cause loss of life a public image problem.
There are actually B, C and D formats with the same properties, just scaled up or down slightly if you need something in between. (Later, C and D were removed because very few people used the quarter-steps.)
Hey I’ve read that page! Back in 2014 I think
“Wait, why is the sun now up?”
I couldn’t sleep yesterday so I started reading about LVADs (heart pumps) and saw some animal testing pictures and then I couldn’t sleep.
Me actually going to bed 10pm and still feeling tired.
Been trying to do more reading before bed. I think avoiding backlit screens helps me transition to sleep more easily. I really recommend an eInk based ereader to anyone who likes reading but hasn’t tried one.

Here are my websites open from last night:

wikipedia app users
Nawr, this was just in Firefox.

Me last night making weird noises while reading Wikipedia and trying to figure out Tamil pronunciation. It says intervocalic ற is trilled and ர is tapped but that’s definitely not what I heard in the yt video I had just watched…

Also ழ. Also ந ஞ ன ண ங (5 n sounds!?!)

I’m in this meme and I don’t appreciate it.

now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to bed so I can get up early.

me at 4am in Germany reading about someone jokingly saying how they’re reading about German roadsigns at 4am
It’s literally 3:43 AM for me now. And I also had the intention going to bed early today
