In my experience if 2 cars arrive at a 4 way then it’s just pure panic until someone decides to go. Drives me up a wall.

I think I interpreted it the same way the original commenter did, but I see now we’re all on the same page.

Maybe instead of saying she was “supposed to” it would be more clear you meant her campaign was “trying to”.

Don’t forget the current supreme court motto though: “rules for thee but not for me”. Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.

Copium.

Steamdeck made many times more Linux users than Windows ever did.

Buy 3 bicycles! 1st an electric commuter/cargo bike so you can run errands without a car. 2nd a road/hybrid bike for fun and exercise on paved paths. 3rd a mountain bike so you can enjoy more nature. (an eMTB if they’re allowed on your local trails can combine all 3 bikes if you want)

Plex has started to enshittify as well. I switched to jellyfin because Plex had features behind pay walls and kept going “oops I accidentally changed your settings so you have to look at the plex home screen with ads for our streaming service”.

Caltrian is not California High Speed Rail

No shot 4 SSDs will be the same price as a HDD of the same capacity yet. HDD is still the king of GB/$.

If I’m wrong… Can you send me some links? I could use some cheap 8TB SSDs.

I think they mean the “superheavy” (somehow a more stupid name than starship) booster rocket is the most powerful. I’m pretty sure by thrust metrics it is. It’s just that the superheavy-starship system can’t put much up in LEO because the starship is huge and heavy on its own.

If you put an expendable second stage on top of the superheavy booster instead of a starship it could put a lot more up to LEO.

1. Coil stoves get red hot by resistive heating of nichrome, reaching 700-900C, near or above the melting point of most common alloys of aluminum.
2. Even cheap coil stoves should have a thermal fuse that shuts off the coil if it gets too hot but it could have been disabled or otherwise not prevented heating the aluminum to over 500C

Fr tho the hydration obsession is marketing wank you get you to buy Gatorade, fancy water, water bottles, etc. If you’re thirsty, drink water. If you are doing exercise, drink extra water. If you’re drinking alcohol, too bad, you’re getting a hangover even if you drink a shitload of water because you’re in your 30s now.

I’d argue that it wasn’t really “net-positive”. Certainly it was a positive energy gain, but it took way more energy to create the fusion than just the input energy. There is a ton of efficiency losses to create the input energy, which is defined by the energy in the laser beam that triggers the fusion. A lot of energy is also used to maintain confinement during the reaction.

I would like the term net positive to be more inclusive of all of the recurring energy used to support the fusion. It’s fair to not include the energy used to construct the machines, but anything that would need to be put in to a fusion plant each reaction to get out energy should be considered.

Isn’t occams razor the idea that it’s stupidity, not malice?

You explain two types of “malice” - one which is primarily driven by a lack of critical thinking and another which is an intentionally planned attack.

Occams razor would say the former is more likely. You may have well said “fuck occams razor I believe it’s Russian bots”

Bandcamp seems decent but it’s got a small and niche catalog.

I’ve got a brick for EU/UK/USA/AUS plugs with 3 type a and 1 type c and an international multiplug ac/ac pass through.

One of the concerns I would have with custom ROMs for TVs is that I think a lot of the image processing magic that makes the image look good on these high end displays is done in some proprietary method that the custom ROM wouldn’t be able to use. Either in software or in hardware.

The magic of the high end TVs isn’t actually in the panel itself as much as in the driving of the panel.

The trump AI was way to succinct and didn’t get distracted constantly cutting himself off every 10 words.

That has to be a meme post. Black Ops SIX? You’re joking. This is a picture from 2018.

The Ultimate 2.4 has right now bluetooth and hall effect sensors as well. I couldn’t get it to pair with the switch though I didn’t try super hard. It works on Bluetooth with my Android TV but for whatever reason ignores the customized buttons (I keep accidentally pressing the wing buttons on the bottom) so I use the dongle on the TV.

It’s really just a shortening of “a week from Saturday”, so more of a dialect than language thing.
