I'm confused Clorox — The front says the 2-pk cleans for 6 months, but the back says each tablet only cleans for 6 weeks (1.5 months), meaning a 2-pk would only clean for 3 months. 🤔 Which is it?? #mixedmessaging #confusing #doesntaddup #clorox

#Tektro cable disc brake lever: "Attention: Turning these 2 screws is prohibited. It will lower sensitivity." #confusing #WTF #BikeTooter #bicycle #ebike

Surely they cannot mean the cable adjuster and locknut?? That's the whole purpose of the damned thing!! Searching Google for "Tektro Turning these 2 screws is prohibited" turns up no useful results.

(edit: It might be the adjuster and set screw for the cable that controls the motor cutoff when braking, not the adjuster for the braking cable)

Was anyone gonna tell me that the Dark Souls Miyazaki isn't the Spirited Away Miyazaki?

Like I know it doesn't make sense to assume the guy behind so many heartbreakingly lovely and touching films is also the guy behind an absolutely brutal game series that makes dwarf fortress sound inviting for newbies, but still.

Meanwhile, as she was speaking, #Trump was providing a running stream of criticism [losing his shit] on Truth Social, though in the same #unfocused & sometimes #confusing style that has marked many of his recent appearances. “IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?” he wrote in one post.

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as #expensive and #confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the #cloud is no longer cheap.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I understand Meetup, GoSocial, Facebook Events and other event based social networks. The one that I don’t understand is GoSocial. It’s a social event network that has visibility on Facebook but you can’t comment, and chat rooms for Geneva, Lausanne and other places.

Instead of creating an event where everything is visible with ease, as with Glocals, Meetup.com, Facebook events and other social networks it is a pig’s breakfast of one chatroom per event, and a list that is manually updated for participation that is only visible when you’re already included within the chat when it’s updated.

There are several problems with this. The first is that to join an event you need to react instantly and say “I want to be on the list” before it is full and you are on the “waiting list”. The second problem is that all numbers are visible in each chat, along with profile images, for those that have them. In the GDPR age this needs to be fixed by Whatsapp.

The social networks are controlled centrally by the admins. They require a komoot file of the proposed walk, and the details. They then create the chat room and the event “organiser” then takes care of the actual event.

With most activity sites you look and you see that there are a certain number of spots, and a certain number of people signed up. If it’s full you ignore it, but if space is available then you sign up and join in.

With GoSocial you see the link, you see the number of people in the chat, but you don’t see the list of participants until it is too late. You’re now in a chat where you’re number 55 of 25 possible participants. The likelihood of participating is now close to zero.

## And Finally

The concept of GoSocial is interesting but it doesn’t scale well. It’s great when you have a chat with 70 people discussing what they’re doing but when you have 980 people in one group, and over a thousand in the second, it doesn’t make sense to use whatsapp, because whatsapp is not designed for this type of use yet.

Facebook, and Whatsapp could add Events as a feature within Whatsapp and then concepts such as GoSocial, on Whatsapp, at the scale they’re at, makes sense.

Who is this text on the back of the box FOR?!

Someone please draw me a Venn diagram of people where this would be the difference between a sale or not a sale.

You can start by doing this exercise for an imaginary bottle of water labeled "Drink this and be less thirsty".

The back of a USB floppy drive box. It reads in multiple languages: "If you need data from your old diskettes but your new computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive, this is the solution for you. Simply connect the Sandberg USB Floppy Drive to one of your computer's USB ports, and you then have immediate access to the data on the diskette."

#131 Minimal Important Change (MIC) vs Minimal Detectable Change (MDC)

Thoughts: Interesting to think about effects from the user perspective. NB: these aren't the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) :p
