Well, I don't have any photographs of their ancient ancestors, but here's a picture of the Iranian President meeting with the Italian President: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp

Just to be clear, and maybe I'm reading your question wrong, but are you saying you consider ancient Romans to be "white" but ancient Persians to be something other than "white"?

Do you know that, or are you speculating? Edit: Huh, I guess you might be right. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/cybersecurity/man-s-an... (2018)

It would be interesting to learn a little bit more about what this means. X86 "supports recursion" in the sense that it has a stack and the push, call, ret, syscall, etc. instructions make use of it.

Actually you're allowed to live outside in most of the public land in the Western US. There are some rules about having to change watersheds every so often, IIRC, but throwing up a tent and staying in one spot for a few weeks is compl

My mother, for the last 30 years or so, has been a log cabin, raise goats, make Thanksgiving dinner over a propane fire kind of minimalist. Even so, she told me about this old guy who lived down the road who claimed to live on something li

I can beat that, actually. The administrator passwords on the catalog system at my local university library in the 90s were required to be exactly 5 uppercase letters, and were hashed with crypt() and stored in an unshadowed file.

Oh, don't get me wrong: I like trains in general, and I've got many fond memories of train adventures in Europe and Asia. Amtrak can be pleasant if you're just touring around. If you're looking for a serious mode of tr

That's a good name if you're a techie, but you know it'll be "PowerLookup Live" by the time the marketing people are through with it.

It's weird that the first thing they teach you in Drug Courier 101 isn't "don't consent to a search, Dummy, you've got a brick of cocaine on you". And then a few rounds of role play just to be sure.

They have Amtrak service along the west coast, and I've taken the Seattle to Eugene and Seattle to Vancouver trains. I was unimpressed, because the maximum speed is about 80 miles per hour, like most of I-5 (edit: I mean that's e

PowerShell has bent over backwards from day one to avoid being a vector for malware. You can't invoke a .ps1 file from ShellExecute (that is to say, by double-clicking it), in its default configuration Windows Server won't run an

I've got one this year in the US (outside Seattle) and I can't imagine the outrage that would ensue if I was seen using the space for barbecuing, much less drinking a beer. I even think some of the other gardeners look down on me

Oh god this hits close to home for me. We all know that a one liner can be valid js, vbs, ps1, and cmd at the same time, but you would never imagine the html, xml, csv, crap, and cruft files that parse correctly in those languages. (To be

For the sake of our European friends, I'm perfectly willing to say, "...you supposedly took the metro, but none of the scanners saw your face."

GPS spoofers already exist, so why not a GPS mirroring app. Keep your phone on, but have it reporting the location of your friend's phone. Or maybe a history based AI synthesis of where you supposedly went. The problem is going to b

Not trying to be snarky, but it seems like for an oven to be less efficient, it would need to be releasing energy as something other than heat.

I can only speak for the west coast of the US, but in my experience, having lived in probably 35 or 40 different places, nearly every house has dedicated 240 volt outlets for things like ovens and clothes dryers. Where natural gas is avail

Also, if the little 12-volt runs down, will it recharge itself from the main one?

By that logic, people in concentration camps don't have basic human rights. "Inalienable" means it can't be removed. That's different from whether or not someone respects the right.

How about implementing it as an access modifier like "trusted" and enforce that only values from other trusted members can be assigned to a trusted member?

When I say "right", I don't mean what's currently granted to him by our Rube Goldberg justice system, I mean the inalienable rights of any sentient being. I've met people who think you should be able to punch out a

I bought a new outboard for my fish-a-dinghy a few months ago, and I looked into getting an electric one. The prices are converging, but it seems like there are serious reliability issues with the (few) electric outboards currently on the
