Windows 11 repeatedly promoting Edge, Onedrive and Phone link annoyed me. There must be a "Don't remind me again." checkbox.

Firefox has been reliable. Brave seems 👍. I haven't wanted Edge as my main.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable.

I haven't wanted to use Phone link.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable. I haven't needed the Onedrive system tray icon. I just went to onedrive.com. On the other hand, I've had the Dropbox system tray icon.

I haven't wanted to use Phone link.

I need a nonprofessional driver's license. I need a student driver's permit 1st right? 1 of the requirements for a student driver's permit is a certificate of completion of the Theoretical driving course. I've known someone who can drive and has had a license. I asked Grok 3 if I could ask him to teach me instead of going to a driving school. Per Grok 3, the certificate from the driving school is needed. Correct?

From reading the requirements, what naturally comes to mind is just go to a driving school. I'm just wondering if I can save ₱ by not going to a school.

It's not a recent flick but I just wanna share my review –

I finished it minutes ago. The 1st 20 min are so boring. Here are what spurred me to finish it.

1. Spielberg directed it.
2. It was loosely based on his childhood.

The post, Bridge of spies and Saving Private Ryan's opening are 👍 so I hoped The Fabelmans was 👍 too. It was entertaining but not great. OK plot.

👍 acting. I can write about 3 paragraphs re the top cast's acting but I don't wanna make this too long. I'll just highlight Sam Rechner, who didn't play the cliched bully. It seemed Logan Hall had an internal issue. Bullying, having that high school quarterback aura, then his conscience tapping him due to his bullying, then getting upset; it can easily get cringe. But Rechner's acting wasn't cringe. Great job.

Dave's been my fav 💻 Youtuber but this hasn't sat well with me. Many have relied on him for unbiased 💻 opinions and he made a 💻 ad. His ads shouldn't be re a 💻, tablet or a 📱.

my go-to llm in no specific order –

1. Llama 4 behemoth
2. Grok 3
3. Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking)

What's your go-to?

When in a hurry, I just use the Gemini voice assistant or Meta ai – I have the Messenger app.

McDo latte (I ask for less ice) is 👍. It’s sweetened already. But not all the branches have it.

Burger king’s salted caramel coffee is 👍 too. I ask for less ice.

If you want Starbucks, their latte is 👍. I ask for sugar and less ice.

I read that unsweetened latte or flat white is 👍. I haven’t found an espresso shop that has 👍 unsweetened latte or flat white. I may be so :) after tasting such a drink.

I’m not a veteran espresso drinker.

If 1 asks me re a great way to know re the Chernobyl disaster, I'll suggest this. 1 of my top series.

I asked myself "How about the Fukushima Daiichi disaster?" I had 3 ideas –

1. I found an eli5 explainer using Google.

2. Plainly difficult's vid (the best for me)

3. The days

Plainly difficult's vid is more detailed than the eli5 explainer so if you're in no rush, please watch.

I was at the 20:00 mark of The days episode 4 when I stopped due to its slowness. It'd be better if it had 4 or 5 episodes instead of 8.

I read Feynman lectures on physics Volume 1 Chapter 37 for the 2nd time. It has the best explanation of the 2-slits experiment for me. 1 of the factors behind my <3 for physics is how amazing the universe is. The wave-particle duality is so amazing.

Chapters 1–36 aren't prequisites for Chapter 37. You can read 37 at once.

Posting here hoping for a physics-based reply.

I viewed a vid re power versus torque in vehicles. My understanding is that power is torque multiplied by angular velocity. Given an amount of power, a high-torque vehicle won't go very fast. A very fast vehicle won't tow a very massive load.

I related it to my little knowledge re stick shift. Gear 1 is used to move a stopped vehicle or for low speeds. Does gear 1 mean max torque and lowest angular velocity? I imagine you need a high torque to overcome static friction. Does gear 2 mean a dip in torque and a rise in angular velocity? Does the max gear mean lowest torque and max angular velocity? When I was young, a driver said one can carefully switch from gear 1 to 2 then 2 to 3 (and so on) on a wide road with very few surrounding vehicles. He said this was the way to increase the velocity and a high gear generally meant more fuel-efficient.

Please correct me if any of the above is wrong.

I googled. Here's what I read –

" 'Revolutions per minute' is how many revolutions the engine itself is making per minute. The gear ratios then translate revolutions of the engine into revolutions of your tires (more or less). Lower gear means lower tire revolutions per engine revolution, but also the tires are easier to turn.

"So when the car is going slower, meaning it requires more force to accelerate, you want lower gears. As the car speeds up, you need less force to go faster or maintain that speed, so you switch to a higher gear, sacrificing power for more efficient use of your engine."

I didn't ask an llm to avoid hallucinations.
