   There may actually have been a legitimate reason for that. First, not all these "things" are said to be flying, some are supposed to have gone underwater (although "Aerial" sort of wrecks that idea). Second (and IMO mo

   Umm...when we lived in Colombia, my son decided to re-name himself Martillo Veneno. For those who don't know Spanish, that's Hammer Poison. You have something against that?

   There are two mentions of "reliab[ility]" (I searched for the first five letters to be sure I got other morphological forms of the word). It appears twice: once near the top, as a general goal, and once at the bottom, as part of

   I'm assuming this is about resistance to Liquid Glass making people unwilling to update , although of course I could be wrong! If it is that, then it seems like it would have been simpler to just have an on-off switch for LG in iOS 24

    On the contrary, those are mostly really overweight people, so the amount of them is quite large. The number of them is, however, small. :)

    The article suggests that Xubuntu (which uses xfce instead of Gnome) uses much less memory. I don't know how true that is, but it seems reasonable that xfce uses some less memory.

    I'm confused. The article is about how various excited states of tin are generated. But tin is atomic number 50, platinum and gold are 78 and 79 respectively. Can someone draw a line between these?

    "They are only good for show at port visits..." This perfectly describes Trump's idea of battleships, in fact I think he's said more or less that himself. And he wants to help design them, because he's "aesth

    I suppose I'm the only one who thought this article would be about moving oneself to the EU. Frankly, given the current mess in the US government (Making America Little Again), I would do that if I could swing it financially. But I&#
