Maybe we could find a 50 yo with Bernie's values and he could be on their cabinet. Idgaf about vibes, but maybe we could put someone in that's not on deaths door?
No choice. If only one side is violent, the other side will lose. It's a slippery slope, but play even or lose.
My thoughts exactly.
Also nothing is stopping someone from forking an open browser and throwing money/bodies at keeping it up.
It's be a shame to lose free updates, but certainly not undoable.
Biden can do whatever he wants now right?
Approaching 50, use SUS regularly, skibidi usage is dropping off, I'm aware of rizz but don't really use it.
That may be a better way to weed boomers from Gen X. Especially SUS, among us had a very wide appeal to multiple age ranges.
Yeah, I mean if we're going to the store you might as well get a cart full right?
Price wise, that's a lot less than I expected
No, I'd have accepted too expensive as an answer. They were ready to die on the hill that no one could possibly create a new browser from specs.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I've had more than a handful of people bitching at me that it's impossible to make a new, open web browser in this day.
You're right, better to pick some battles and live another day to do something good.
The IA needs to lay low a bit before we loose them. There's plenty of stuff out there they can archive that we need that won't piss off copyright.
We need an ipfs or torrent library that's out of easy reach of the courts.
I think bi-partisan challenging of opinion pieces containing verifiable falsehoods is a pretty healthy idea for the public.
In theory, it works that way.
In practice, we've never openly stopped anyone with those systems.
When it comes time for them to justify the invasion of privacy, they don't have any school shooters stopped, and they don't have any Unabombers stopped. They don't have any cases of stolen kids stopped. They'd be shouting all that from the rooftops to expand and extend that funding.
If they have actually stopped anyone, it's at super-secret spy game levels. The guys you're expecting them to stop aren't even a concern for them. Worse yet, they may actually be rooting for them.
I totally get the intent of this message, but it's so beautifully reads both ways.
I was totally on board until centos got screwed over ( and subsequently AM2 )
I'll be a cold day before I touch any fedora or redhat again or even mention to another person that they should run it.
Yeah, My volt battery is in the floor of the trunk. If the battery on the volt dies you can't open the trunk easily. Physical locks in the doors are no problem but they didn't put a keyhole on the damn trunk.
You can pop the hood and access the jump terminals and then pop the trunk. You can also crawl into the back hatch from inside pull a panel off and pop the trunk.
Yeah Netflix has to pay for edge connections in major ISPs, and host cash is in places.
Filebot a piece of software, it looks up your files on TMDB and themoviedb and renamese your files based on those lookups. Plex takes that naming very very well. We really need jellyfin to work with it too.
I assume their motherboard is a write-off. The form factor in speaker are probably all we have to start with. For a few bucks you could turn it into a decent Bluetooth speaker. Want to get a little more intense if you want to do anything interesting like voice control.
I'd really like to find a way to drive the display and touch screen on the shows
The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...
The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

Damn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition
>Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.
Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?
it's research!

Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

The Rainbow Mountains of China within the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park are a geological wonder of the world. These famous Chinese mountains are known for their otherworldly colors that mimic a rainbow painted over the tops of rolling mountains.

The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.
This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.
It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.
Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.

Ghost apples are made from a pretty interesting phenomenon whereby frozen weather coats an apple in ice. When the apple inside rots and falls out, the icy shell is left behind and you get an ice apple.

Veritasium is the king of almost clickbait, but he really gives out some crazy details.
Starting around 2:11 They explain RSA and get into the meat.
When quantum computers do all that crazy parallel math, apparently you only get one of the answers, and it's random :) But due to some sketchy repeating, any one of the answers is enough to make RSA vulnerable with just a little math.

Breaking up the flat agricultural areas of Argentina's Pampas is a guitar formed entirely out of trees. Stretching for 2/3 of a mile (1km), the multi-colored instrument was created by one Argentine farmer to memorialize his wife. Crushed by the loss of his love, a few years later Pedro Martin Ureta (owner) began working on designing a guitar in his field that could be seen from above by airplane. He settled on the design because his late wife loved the instrument and he wanted to memorialize her on his land.

Looks like a copy and paste job.
The Green Cathedral or De Groene Kathedraal located near Almere in the Netherlands, is an artistic planting of Lombardy poplars (Populus nigra italica) that mimics the size and shape of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Reims, France. The Green Cathedral is 150 m (490 ft) long and 75 m (246 ft) wide, and the mature poplar trees are about 30 m (98 ft) tall.
The planting itself is kinda ok, but taking the time to till out the same size in the forest next door is crazy

Aparently, I've conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.
