If you want motorbike speeds, get a motorbike with motorbike suspension and brakes etc and appropriate equipment. And ride on routes appropriate to those speeds.

Not cool, not a guide.

Since legislators realized that mopeds had been invented.

I would definitely like to see a ship propel itself using a trebuchet and a windlass. Not enough to try building one, but still.

I once had a hard drive of some particular vintage that wasn't able to start. I did actually get it running with a hammer tap. Got the remains of data out and replaced the drive. It was nothing special, a Unix system drive with nothing that wasn't on tape, but I just had to see if I could fix a hard drive with a hammer.

I also remember one admin who would often be seen walking between computer maintenance room and workshop wing with drives and a blacksmiths hammer labelled "format".

Psions were pretty amazing. Can't believe they ran a whole operating system like that on a couple of batteries. Iirc, turning on the LCD backlight doubled the idle power consumption. So the whole system was as heavy as a couple of LEDs.

Stray is brilliant. It's the most cat cat ever in a game.

I actually suspect there may be different versions available and there's some tiny flag or label somewhere that says one is available to do and so audience or distribution and they picked that one, because it was there. Nobody even knew what the difference was.

Same reason but a different side effect makes it so one gets flagged for licensing and one doesn't.

You could use some sort of caffeine as a workaround. I do since sleep locks don't always work.

"Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw at co-workers."

"All parts of the computer should fit together easily and without force. By all means do not use a hammer."

Mitm a website and inject browser exploits? Scanning IP addresses they see downloading? A news article leaving out the vital parts is nothing new though m

Maybe they were just targeting with no actual action. Like they had their sights set on their cardboard tank.

People certainly try with Cyrillic. And kanji?

James Taylor - fire and rain

It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permission_culture - pay the protection money or the enforcers will come for you.

Not the weirdest "news" story out of Uttar Pradesh though.

Finland. Rare, unless you've been posting your number everywhere or run a business.

I think you're missing a digit there.

Genophage! Now do mosquitos!

We watched The Marvels. It's one of the ones I didn't care about enough to see before but got it from the library now.

It's kind of bad, but watchable. Sort of pointless and everything is a little bit off somehow. Technical quality is great, of course.

What I didn't expect is that they've sort of nodded at the early 80s Secret Wars era Captain Marvel and even made a bit of comment about the white outfit. Which reminded me that that's actually one of the first marvel comics I ever read back then and that she was in it. Which was an interesting bit of personal reminiscence.

Weird. I've used 1000,2000,3000,4000 series without any issues ever.
