Yeah they're basically fine. The hipster's main complaint, I think, was that Decathlon was very big in France and that size was causing local bike shops to close. So I have some sympathy for the argument, but certainly not the way

I bought my wife's bike, which she'd purchased back in England while on a fitness kick, to a local shop in Manhattan for a brake service years ago. I have never forgotten the interaction: the hipster douche who greeted me launched

Aha thanks. I'm using a different computer and I mistakenly thought I had Private Relay switched on; it's not enabled on this machine. Turning it on gives expected results. Needed the IP reminder to figure that out!

Curious how it knows my location despite Safari not prompting and no location services indicator in my menu bar. (Mac, not iOS). I'm not suggesting anything nefarious but it is odd. Nice app/service though well done.

The water moves the heat from the DC to some near-infinite sink (ocean, river, atmosphere if evaporative, whatever.) In space it's quite (very) hard to move the heat anywhere. So water cooled ocean DC is more realistic than an orbital

> The heat problem has demonstrable solutions that people who are physics challenged can't seem to get themselves to accept. Go on then, what are they? Demonstrable, you said. Show us some demonstrations please.

My fantasy is that liability for model misbehavior is extended to the ultimate beneficial owners of the models, meaning shareholders. All these externalities would stop PDQ.

I am the last person to defend FIFA - I love the UEFA's stance here - but only Balogun's suspension can be pinned on FIFA. Those other things are down to USA politics. Bad, for sure, not really down to FIFA. Other than those awful

The failure here wasn't overcurrent, which is what fuses (or breakers) mitigate. Here it was poor connection, no fuse or breaker would help. And in fact didn't since the author mentioned he had breakers on these lines. Also, and p

Just to play with this a bit, this proposal instantly and completely ends Republican power. Low-taxed rural poor and retiree votes are gone, entirely. Higher earning coastal white collar and professional workers get 3-5 votes, offset to som

It is at takeoff and landing, applies equally to ETOPS or otherwise.

Is this because of something analogous to an expected value calculation? Like the increased probability of failure of a single engine when carrying 4, combined with the lower excess power per engine, means that the safety margin of a 4 engi

Good lord. “This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.”

This is a normal thing to do in brittle materials; it’s a technique I’ve employed a few times to stop cracks propagating in fiberglass on boats. Super cool to see it being done in space. My drill is even the same color. Always knew I was as

This water usage argument against data centers is so specious I almost think it's spread as a deliberate talking point by DC proponents. Power consumption and effect on electricity infrastructure is so, so, so much more consequential a

I thought at first it was just a skinned Wolfenstein 3D. Which is grossly unfair. A lot of work here.

That'd be a terrifying setup for me as a live player! I'm curious where you found low latency wireless headphones though. Have a look at Loopback - very mature app now. I use this for doing live and studio routing, you set a live

It's a bigger issue than one of legality. The high seat in a standard truck cab offsets two of the biggest challenges with driving a truck: it takes ages to get up to speed, and a very long distance to stop. High visibility gives bette

Since 2020 Fender has been owned by Servco Pacific, a Hawaiian car dealer that has some musical instrument holdings as well (Roland). It has a private equity arm attached from which presumably this idea came. I wonder if someone up high in

Very nice work of art. (I don't really like the bullets though, they don't seem very metal-y to me. Scythes maybe, or flensing knives.) It might be fun to have a sort of gazetteer for the map so we can find bands.

I don't know anything about them but it's a cool effect. At least on this strawberry, you're not zooming in but rather traveling closer. I don't see the increasing (made up) detail you'd expect from a zoom, we sort

There was WindowMaker for a while too, just a window manager.

Alright, it's worth a try. I'll do it at night in a balaclava though, because I live in the USA and no matter whether it's local, state, or federal government they'd rather spend $100k prosecuting this than $1k fixing th

It isn't beautiful at all, nauseating uncanny valley stuff in my opinion, but AI images do have a style (or rather one of a number of idiosyncratic styles.) The sort of glossiness and unsettling focus in photorealistic images; the terr

Very interesting premise in the title. Something like the seven basic plots of Western storytelling, but built from an Indian perspective? Anyway the site is too clever for its own good and crashes out with a "We hit an error" mod

Wordle-ish, but each row is a new word one letter longer than the prior which is a clue for the next.

From the exploding pixels and then you're fine. You needed an H as well anyway.

Isn't .22 a bit small for deer? I don't know anything though, so this isn't an informed objection just a question. Or were you just learning fundamentals of shooting before trying a bigger caliber?
