4·28 days agoFor reference, I’m now 43 years old.
Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.
I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…
Meme thief!
LOL, carry on…
The two QR codes could be totally related, like two different versions of a rickroll, or two different versions of bad apple.
You just never know exactly which one you’re gonna get…
Hint, in my experience testing that, it partly depends what angle you’re holding your device when scanning such combo QR codes.
I had a chrome Zippo XIV, one of the models you just don’t fuck with.
I loaned it out one day to light fireworks. Somehow they overheated and ruined the flint wheel…
Anyways, if I catch you swapping Zippo parts, I’m gonna melt Frosty the Snowman…
I’ll add Bic lighter to this list too.
What else does Bic make? 🤔
Did you know that you can halftone dither two different but same size QR codes on top of each other?
I wish I had a link to the article handy, but yeah I’ve tried that myself and it totally works! You basically get a 50/50 chance of one or the other code scanning. It’s literally two QR codes in one!
And no, that’s not some new special QR code format either, it’s basically taking advantage of the nature of the scanners plus the built in error correction.
Is?

I’d recommend silicone glue also, but I wouldn’t use epoxy, that’ll harden completely solid and won’t long stay attached with road vibrations and all.
OP, like the person above said, check for any clips or grooves or whatever first. If you absolutely have to glue it back on, make sure all the surfaces are clean first, and make sure to tape it up in place temporarily while the glue dries. I’d give it a whole 24 hours drying time with silicone glue.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week…
Zombies are so dumb, they don’t even know where the brains are, they always go after the abdomen.
If you can’t defeat a slow moving undead creature with fewer active brain cells than Donald Turnip, then that’s on you…
None. I don’t have a wife. But yes I’ve eaten raw onions before (just small wild onions though, I’m not a savage, I promise)
It is actually helping a bit, but knowing the old injury, I still need to restrict my neck motion for a while, when I otherwise want to sleep ☹️
I think I’ll be good, as long as I don’t bend my neck in any weird ways tonight. That sucks though, as I’d just as soon be asleep right now, but I tend to toss and turn in my sleep, not good for my neck at the moment.
But your advice was solid, even if it only helped like 10%, the muscle rub cream indeed has helped 👍
Actually, thank you!
The sore area is very closely related to an old slipped disc and pinched nerve injury, but isn’t quite that bad again yet. You just reminded me that we have some muscle rub cream in the bathroom, and the instant I read your comment, I just went to apply some.
I just hope it doesn’t go back to being a pinched nerve, but muscle rub cream surely can’t hurt!
Thank you again fellow Lemming 👍
I’ll just be happy if my neck quits hurting so I can lay down and get some proper sleep tonight ☹️
I just tried the archived link and apparently NYTimes even blocks the full article from the archive ☹️
Main reason I tried that is because, to my understanding, NYTimes gift articles are only available for 2 weeks or so.
Sigh, I tried anyways, for the good cause. 🤷
If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.
But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.
Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.
The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.
