Maybe read “Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata”. Forces you into that mode you were in earlier in your life. I found the experience enlightening.

Idk, but maybe you can experiment with an oxygen cylinder and one of those nose pieces they give to sick people. If that doesn't help, an oxygen concentrator might also not help. The experiment should be relatively inexpensive.

What good is it to get the principal back in 100 years ? If inflation stays between 2 and 3%, the principal would only be worth between 5 and 13% of what it is today. If inflation is between 4 and 5%, principal in 100 years would be worth b

This seems to be a great opportunity to recommend the short story “on patrol” by Stanislaw Lem [1] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Pirx_the_Pilot

To deepen the wonder, I'd be interested to see the longevity per material (PLA/Nylon/metal/...). I'd expect a lot of trial and error to deal with shrinkage and the probably high precision needed by the Selectric. Bu

In practice, what would be the difference? I'd imagine in almost all cases, one parent (likely dad?) wants to get out of child support. Mom will likely not consent, so it's the same or even worse.

Why is France singled out ? Similar restrictions exist in other countries, Germany for instance [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_paternity_testing#:~:text=...

OMG, what drama! But, it’s a really nice pen. I wonder whether the piston mechanism ever breaks, because unlike other lamys, this part can not be disassembled by a layman.

"The hand drawn label" (every year a different tree) was too expensive ? Oh, come on, pull the other one, it has jingle bells on.

A new way for parallel construction ? BTW, is that (p.c.) a thing in the Netherlands ?

Similar story, but for Ultima Underworld, which managed to replace a unique item I needed for the final battles with something else (a torch?) while saving. I only noticed that happened AFTER all 4 save files were corrupted and never got to

Well, this wikipedia article mentions thin clients as lower end workstations. I would not call a computer with a single low performance core and 256 MB RAM a workstation either, but for a 4GB/8GB RPi 4, that term seems applicable.

The article even contains 6 newspapers clippings where the name is spelled correctly. Infuriating…

That's a fair-ish point, but in practical terms, the printer is bricked until I pay up, whereas the phone is basically working with all free apps and web apps, which for many people is good enough. So it's a significant difference

People are less upset because Apple does not brick the phone when the user downloads an app they don't like. (they might in the future, but not today).

Lithographers tape works pretty well to dull LEDs just enough to no longer be offensive

Even better are the a5 booklets with 16 sheets or 32 pages used in Europe for school children. One per subject - perfect. https://www.google.com/search?q=schulheft

I think this is a good question, but I'm assuming that this is happening anyways: Few constitutions have provisions forcing tech bros to live in the city. If they move to the burbs without public transit, they are being subsidized via

This is awesome! Thanks so much. I think a natural extension of this could be a) an API or CLI tool b) a minder service that logs / reminds when letter is delivered.

Not just the surveillance. The other fear is that an adversary can just shut out countries at a whim. Of course, it's easier to just change a policy at an endpoint you control, rather than cutting up undersea cables and shooting down s
