That's a lot of words on a very overarching tangent. If one may ask, what music, exactly, do you consider joyful and worthy?

They didn't have the license and actually got sued for the VHS release. https://old.reddit.com/r/FrostbiteFalls/comments/1flr8ue/fra...

Let's say the mistake is understandable, because it happens to coincide with the observation of a passing jet. ;) I guess that's why Doppler explanations nearly always use an ambulance as their example.

I'm just armchair musing here, and I'm definitely no expert on sound waves, but I wonder if they considered the fact that most airliners have more than one engine. Could the effect also be the superposition of multiple engine soun

I've been hearing and thinking (occasionally) about this effect for years, so this explanation is very welcome.

I wish I could tell if this is satire or not.

AKA Poseidon's Kiss. Thank god I never had the misfortune of having to use one of those...

>unnecessary contact Took me a moment to realize you were referring to The Witch's Kiss. And yes, I fully agree on all points.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be telling about, but it's probably not about their involvement in the war, which was hardly out of line for any german engineering company at the time. Ferdinand Porsche was arrested for wa

I'll just throw in that the Home Connect app comes at 700 MB. Why?!

That's interesting to know, and I apologise for my premature judgement. The reasoning goes that it's a compensation, not a reimbursement. It seems to depend on company policy though, and whether you're travelling on paid time

>The trick is that when you travel on a business card your company pays, but you get the reimbursement when delayed. TBH that sounds just like fraud to me, and on discovery could (probably, IANAL) justify immediate lawful termination. It

Seems like it needs to be spelled out for you: Enforcement of federal law is overseen by the DOJ, an executive department bound by this very EO. Do you see it now?

Just ask them for Microsoft PowerToys, FancyZones is what you want.

That's a very thought provoking insight regarding to the often repeated "printing press doomsayer" talking point. Thank you!

On the other hand, neonazis and their enablers are united in the inevitable cry for proof and "truth", and then looking the other way when it's delivered. Obviously this is a very efficient tactic, and I agree with you it&#x2

Dude, if you seriously believe OpenAI has 1B active users, you should go touch grass. Actual estimates are 100-200 million, about a magnitude lower.

You can still do that on Windows 10! It's just not that much fun anymore.

That sounds creepy as hell to me. Are you serious, or is that an idea for a horror movie? Edit: aaaand right after posting I stumble across a documentary running on TV in this very moment, in which a dying guy trained an AI on himself to ac

I suppose most anybody talking about this topic has seen Her by now (and if they haven't, they should, it's both a good movie and very relevant). The problem is rather that not everybody shares your enthusiasm about the utopia it

The most astonishing thing to me is that after all these years people still keep finding new targets to port to.

This. And the smart one is cheaper because it's a collection device for data on you that they can sell.

Of course this fits right in with the thread's theme of animals driving, and I don't want to be a spoilsport, but this article has me not too convinced about the bold claim it makes. As good as it sounds, I have my reservations ab
