What I do to match my lazer curtains is I hang a lazer tapestry off the ceiling to block all the lazers. I don't do lazer welding but I have lazer scissors and lazer axe which it is still useful for

It's more like Plan 9 is an evolution of unix and inferno is an evolution of plan 9. Also there's the old viewpoint of "let's put everything in XML. Everything can read and write XML", and that seems similar to the

"Filthy normies" and such is always a hilarious bit of nerdspeak. But the crux of it, to some degree, I am normie and normie am I - i.e. it's human nature and in all of us. Facebook or reddit never set out to say "Hey,

I was flying through JFK in the past year, JetBlue, and there they had these types of cameras at the boarding area, in addition to TSA. So instead of handing your ticket to the agent, scanning, go on plane, you self scan, there's a pi

As a whole unemployed cuts your bargaining power, it's natural to say "why should I leave my job" as a counterpoint. The flipside game is if you can arrange multiple offers at once (i.e. a high value candidate) while unemplo

Exactly. When our car doesn't run well, a car with perhaps 20,000 parts, we take it to the mechanic who says "yup, issue was your spark plug, fixed". And even then, of course, the car issue may have been multifactorial. M

Yes. On the super long term - wind doesn't blow, sun doesn't shine, oil doesn't flow, coal doesn't mine. Then the feasibility of nucular is a no brainer. That's all that's left besides renewables, nucular fis

On this point I recall when the gravity wave detector first detected a black hole merge, which is of course a LOT of mass and power. It was in the hearing range so they played a .wav. It unironically sounded exactly like a "PLOP&quot
