That's the surprising part to me. I'm not shocked mushrooms would grow in blood. Their air needs are pretty low, and might be solved by the ambient level in blood. Afaik the light is primarily to signal time of year to the mush

Well, to be clear, they'd be working on contingency. Unless this guy is otherwise wealthy, he probably won't have a million dollars laying around to give them. I wouldn't hold my breath on companies willing to work on contin

In fairness, SSH in and edit a file is the "standard" here. I used to manage a bunch of Cisco devices, and I don't believe there was a GUI at all. I would generally expect the UI to be for enthusiasts, with the more advanced

They should have to include a list of prices for common repairs. I know a few people who would probably shop based on the price to repair a broken screen. We're at the point where repairs are an expected part of a phones lifecycle. Bat

That's unpopular in part because it's extremely regressive. The amount you will have to change your life is going to be directly related to how wealthy you are. The rich are unlikely to change. They'll simply pay more and mov

I truly do not understand people who whip trash out the window of their car. It's not even convenient to maneuver around in a car to collect trash from in there. And you have nothing to do while you sit at the gas pump, where there are

Wikileaks leaked them in 2018, so the majority are known, I think. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/wikileaks-publish...

Which further perpetuates the cycle because anyone who makes enough to pay taxes to support public programs leaves. I don't blame them, but it sucks for some of these communities.

4chan lacks any kind of organization whatsoever. It's hard to say that 4chan is any particular thing because it's so amorphous and liable to switch to something else new. That makes it hard for most people to see them as potential

They might even make more money. I'm guessing Parler doesn't get the same volume discounts that Twitter does.

It's difficult to answer how many seconds are between two times because whether there was a leap second or not is not the result of an algorithm. Leap seconds are added to keep time synchronized to the rotation of the earth (i.e. so no

That's a bad line to draw. "We're helpless to do anything until someone dies" isn't likely to draw a lot of sympathy.

I have the opposite problem. I abhor things sitting in Downloads because I pretty frequently wipe out that folder to clear out the garbage. But I struggle to follow a consistent structure, so it could be in Documents or Notes, or a random f

A substantial difference is that healthcare tends to be incredibly regressive in the US. People with good jobs that have good pay tend to get pretty good company insurance. People in jobs that don't pay very well tend to have bad ins

Part of me wonders if this was malicious compliance with the demands to downsize police. "You want less police? See what happens?" That doesn't seem beyond belief.

I hadn't heard about that before. In fairness, she did hit several officers with her car, and was actively attempting to run one over when she was shot. It's still a shame. I do wonder if there's something else they could hav

Regardless of your opinion of BLM, there's a huge difference between rioting in the streets, and rioting in the fucking Capitol building while Congress is in session . The latter seems to wander dangerously close to treason, depending

I agree in principle, but IRC is a poor way to do this. I love IRC for it's simplicity, but that makes it hard to do more advanced features. It's a text-only protocol (other than DCC), so if you want to do something like allow u
