The limit depends on the pump. If you're pushing water uphill the weight of the water will eventually equal the maximum pressure that the pump can deliver and you won't be able to push any further. This is basic high school physic

That's exactly what their value prop was. Normies get a chance to feel like they're friends with famous people. It's social status signalling as a service.

I'm sure fastmail are great folks but if everyone who feels nervous because of Google's shithousery jumps ship to fastmail it doesn't really solve the problem of overreliance on a single provider.

Well, seems that HN filters the word "penis" in submission titles irrespective of TFA's title. Title could use an edit, though I'm not sure what else to call it. Napoleon's member?

Surprised nobody has mentioned bzflag[0]. I played that a lot in its heyday. Playing hepcat pillbox CTF was some of the sweatiest, most intense gaming I've had. However I probably had the most hours into Armagetron Advanced[1], which

I mean if an electrician or whatever came into my house to do a job, and ate my food without being offered it, I'd consider that extremely rude.

Why are you surprised? TFA is a self-described "tutorial" that doesn't actually teach you how to make similar decisions in a different context. Having gone through this, I am no better equipped to select typefaces and config

I live in the PNW and it's astounding how many people here aren't prepared at all. And I don't mean "aren't prepared" as in "aren't Preppers", I mean they don't even have a basic emergency
