Isn't that exactly why so many of these company and app names have missing vowels? Because they can't trademark a word but they can trademark a collection of letters that sounds like a word when spoken aloud. It's really dumb.

Grabbed one of these on Thursday and it's arriving tomorrow. Just ever O slightly excited.
I literally lolled at this lol
I like the idea of open worlds much more than I like the reality. With a full time job, kids, and a completionist mindset I just don't have the time or mental stamina to spend 100+ hours doing side quests and revealing every inch of the map. Not to mention reading all of that dialog and lore.
Give me a corridor with a tight, focused story over a sprawling open world any day of the week. Coincidentally Bioshock was awesome.
Man I'd forgotten about that film but I also really enjoyed it. It was fully self aware and made no attempt to take itself seriously, and if you're in the right mindset for that then it's a great time.
Might have to watch it again.
If it doesn't have an arrow then the correct side is denoted by whether the fuel icon itself has the hose on the left or right.
Also the first thing that popped into my head. I know EVA was just a voice but teenaged me had the hots for her.
I had no idea that people struggled with this so much and have come up with such crazy (to me) ways of figuring it out.
Most of the world, if asked to write down numbers 1-100 on a line, would do so left to right. The < and > symbols are arrows pointing left and right. To the left the numbers decrease (less than) and to the right the numbers increase (greater than).
All this stuff about crocodiles and ducks seems like such a bizarre way to remember it!
Edit: thanks for the comments, it's fascinating to get an insight on how differently people's brains work. Something that seems like such an obvious concept is just as baffling to others as the crocodile is for me.
To attempt to explain it better though: Say the number you're comparing to is 50. If x is less than that, say 30, then it would appear to the left of 50 in the list and the arrow would point that way <--. If it's greater than 50 then it would be to the right -->
Nice! Been holding off on HA voice stuff, waiting for a more plug and play solution, so I've been watching this pretty closely. Managed to get one ordered before they (presumably) go out of stock in the UK. Hoping it arrives soon so I can tinker during the break!
I dunno how it is in the US, but in the UK cats are considered "free spirits" and therefore their owners can't be held accountable for the cat's actions.
Jon can breathe easy.
Pedant, but the pressure difference between 1 atmosphere and zero isn't all that great, so explosive decompression wouldn't happen even in the worst case scenario. Rapid yes, explosive no.
To be explosive you need something like the Byford Dolphin diving bell incident, which was 9 atmospheres to 1 in a fraction of a second.
I ordered mine the day they were announced, right before Christmas at a period that I was enjoying tinkering with, and optimising my HA setup. I was looking forward to doing the same with this over the break.
Unfortunately they didn't actually ship it until after Christmas and by the time it arrived I was in full slob mode with little desire to sit at a desk. Even now I'm still trying to get myself back into a working mindset.
All of which is to say I added it to HA and have done nothing with it since.
