Funny political comment aside - As a European I only knew about the New York style before. Although usually with roasted onions. Which is a shame, because especially the Chicago one looks awesome! What is the filling in the Miami variant?

What’s your kill count in the trolley problem?

It’s not the looking-at-th-screen-thing, but rather the switching-the-camera-on-in-the-first-place-thing, the understanding-anything-at-all-while-the-screen-is-covered-in-people-thing and the not-being-a-total-exhausted-mess-who-needs-an-hourlong-pause-to-function-again-afterwards -thing.

So no, wouldn’t be useful, I am afraid.

Have been thinking the same.

I have a serious anxiety when it comes to video calls. My direct colleagues know about it and don’t mind, but it is weird when having remote meetings involving other people. This is probably really harming my professional success.

So I was considering trying some Chatroulette like service to get more relaxed towards video calls, but was really put off when hearing about all the offensive sexual weirdness there.

Eyechat would omit that while still being near enough to a classic full-face video-call. I think this might actually work as some kind of exposure therapy. I might give it a try.

Doesn’t help in summer…

The article itself sounds a lot more relaxed than the heading suggests.

Nonetheless, this is still stuff for c/fuckcars

Finally, I am not the only one! Feels good.

What a phantastic thread!

We have had linguistics, sociology, physics and now biology in the form of colour perception so far.

Cross domain discussions are great! :-)

Well in my case it’s more about where to draw the line between blue and green.

I can differentiate the colours but just still call things blue that my GF (and most of the rest of the world, apart from Japanese and the german dialect I grew up with as it seems) already calls green.

Yes, exactly.

E.g. in Germany I don’t have heard anyone using Indigo and Purpur as major colours but only in combination with blue : “Purpurblau” and “Indigoblau” describing certain forms of blue.

So only blue and violet in german rainbows. And ultraviolet because most of us are more engineer than poet nowadays ;-)

Interesting point.

And I am a little bit with the Japanese in this regard. At least my GF always complains that I am unable to correctly distinguish between green and blue ;-)

I’m confused…

Doesn’t a rainbow contain all colours by definition?

lf it is a region lock than even if you use a VPN you propably won’t be able to buy anything.

Unless you also happen to own a japanese credit card. And a shipping address in Japan for physical stuff.

(Sad European noices…)

Awsome, thanks! Should have thought of the ampersand myself…
