Interesting, so blinking yellow obviously means the same everywhere but where these are placed varies a lot. In Greece I've never seen green for both cars and pedestrians either, but there are many cases where pedestrians get green and cars yellow for the same part of road (usually when cars turn right at intersections). From the answers I take it the original comment probably meant cars turning into the path of other cars, not people, which sounds a bit better.

Does the blinking yellow light allow drivers to turn onto pedestrians crossing with a green pedestrian light? Cause here that's the only way you can turn in many intersections and that's not exactly safer. You shouldn't put this responsibility on the drivers at all.
Regardless of home alone, every version of Carol of the Bells I've heard is great. And it sounds like a horror movie theme so I listen to it throughout the year.
Nah, standing in the sun without getting sweaty is one of the best feelings of winter
I like the distinction between the two "to be" forms in Spanish (ser/estar) and how it modifies the meaning of the verb. Eg. ser listo != estar listo.
It's also nice seeing languages with a mostly free word order, that rely on grammar instead, like Greek, even though that probably makes them harder to learn.
I thought I'd use it when I got my phone but I've since found Bluetooth headphones that are actually convenient so I don't. Now this headphone form factor is dying so I might go back to wired once they stop working. I hope the jack still exists by then.
Watching game shows like the voice or masterchef of other countries to get a feeling of "real" language/accents. Usually movies or the news use a more formal and clear language but when you understand these shows you know you can understand people in everyday conversations.
I had the same idea but it seems only kbin users' downvotes appear on kbin (but you can see lemmy users' upvotes). Have you managed to see lemmy downvotes like this at some point?
When I need to run multiple vms, work laptop is much stronger than personal laptop and there is usually no personal data related so sure. I've also used the only (work) iPhone I have for Apple related things, like using apple books, which is admittedly stupid but I consider anything I get from there single use either way and not particularly private either.
Pretty much yeah, it might have been the same motion as well
I can't find an image of it but the phone/watch concept shown in The Peripheral would be cool. Basically a touch screen that can be either flat and work like current smartphones or wrapped around your arm with the whole area being a screen (with a better interface than current smartwatches).
The best that comes to mind is Crimes of the Future. There are people growing new organs and altering their digestive system to eat plastic.
The book Borne was supposed to get a movie or TV show adaptation at some point. I really hope they make this well cause that's one of the best examples in my opinion.
