    Agreed. (A slice of ham and tomato on an egg salad sandwich is where it’s at btw) I do like cream cheese, but it’s completely unnecessary here. At least it’s not whipped cream lol.

    Of all the kitchy 60s cuisine, this might be the least offensive to me. If you’re gonna mke a “cake” out of a sandwich though, you need something on the outside. Which breaks the deal because you really can’t use anything. Honestly cream cheese is the only thing I can even imagine. Maybe butter, but how much butter can you have lol.

    Maybe, possibly, if you can make an icing out of Swiss?

    I’d still rather just make canapes or something.

    To add some more math that infid to help my own brain

    Those rounded Freedom Units equal identical Cubic Inches… They’re the same volume.

    Using the Socialism Units, the PS2 is ~ 300 cubic centimeters larger (roughly the volume of a 6.7cm cube)

    (I think the number of iterations of rounding that we’ve collectively performed here has somewhat skewed the results, but it’s pretty close at any rate)

    Edit imndoing math in DDG search and it might be 186 cubic centimeters so 5.7cm tall cube, but that seems like a huge variation and now I’m questioning my ability to calculate volume. But it’s late on a Fri and my brain is fried.

    This is how we end up with R5-10, which will soon be another sign that specifies e-bikes (and perhaps we need multiple discrete signs). We had a no phone use sign, then we needed no texting (or no mobile). The signage just hasn’t caught up.

    But it gets even weirder when you’re talking about not even a roadway - so then signage changes between jurisdictions.

    I tend to err on the side of caution, but dollars to donuts there’s enough ambiguity in that signage you’re thinking about where you can’t really be ticketed because you can win the argument in court. What results is lack of enforcement (which is another legal defense in and of itself).

    PS IDK if it’s overthinking. This is the kind of stuff I think about lol (and apparently we’ve found our people)

    R9-3, R9-13, R9-14, R9-15, R9-16, R5-2, R8-3, R9-3, R14-5, R9-4

    R9-4 has an R9-4a where it’s words, and I’d bet you that’s because someone argued in court that the former bans giving thumbs up, not holding up a hitchhiking sign.

    Do Not Enter has words but that’s just extra lettering overlaid on a universal pictogram sign.

    there is no “most” in american signs for common/universal things like skateboarding, swimming, smoking, etc. For almost every every “No” sign that exists, there exists a counterpart “slash” sign. Add to that not every “no” sign is a roadway sign (eg no smoking)

    There is a legal difference between Parking, Standing, and Idling a vehicle. Not every jusrisdiction has distinct bans for each, so there isn’t a universal way to represent each. You also need qualifiers - any time, or certain hours, or either side of the street, so you get those signs with words.

    You can’t really do a picto for “No commercial vehicles”. I suppose we could do a picto for No Thru Traffic. I could also see that you can do “No Pedestrians Bicycles Motor-driven Cycles” with 3 pictograms (IMO more than like 3 words on a road sign is just a bad idea)

    I have Teams working smoothly bybusijg the WebApps thing, launching a single Firefox (which is not my primary browser).

    I then have 2 profiles, and Teamsnis a pinned tab in the Work profile (other chat webapps are pinned tabs in the personal profile). So all those tabs in various profiles are opened in this one window, which I then call “Chat Apps” in the launcher. I make the Firefox UI completely autohide except the titlebar and side tab bar.

    This works flawlessly for all sharing and calls and notifications. And if I wanna be done with work I can close or Unload(hibernatr) the Teams tab.

    Anyway, if you don’t want the whole tabbed thing, you can try to use the web app thing to launch teams in web mode that has so far worked better than any package I’ve tried.
