It’s a learned behaviour. Outside of North American culture, I don’t think there are “groaner” jokes.

Why can you not create a new app with a similar name but name it v2, 3, etc? Things and many others did this.

Some stores are modern-day general stores (Costco, Walmart) so you will end up purchasing from several categories on one trip (gift, groceries, home maintenance). YNAB, for example, allows for splitting a single transaction across several c

I’ve noticed that I’ve repeatedly developed post-hoc positive feelings about in-the-moment negative experiences that make me want to do them again. Be this hikes, runs, jobs and child-rearing.

It’s a fairly significant feature but it’s not mentioned in the 6.12 pull notes. Various sites mention that it’s “definitely, for sure, this time” mainlined in the next release, but I haven’t seen anything definitive. I’m just an end user,

Still waiting on SR-IOV for Xe graphics to make it… Modules are available, but it’s hit-and-miss with updates.

Most folks don’t get on the road with a superiority complex. If we don’t believe in goodwill actions of others, society falls apart.

Didn’t they try to dock in two infrastructure-critical ports with a damaged vessel? How about the order of the docking? There must be some sort of remote outport where it can dock without the fear of obliterating critical infrastructure. Ch

What did the Ceefax backend look like? Were there cached proxies at the antenna site, or was it muxed live across the country?

Wayback link seems to only show the first slide without an option to move forward.

It would have to be on and tuned into the right channel in the first place in order to build a cache.

There was another discussion around the Cannonball run, and how it should be allowed because no one gets hurt. In a way it does, because it ruins trust as the participants treat your presence on the road like an inconvenience.

It’s not great for the up-going elevator passengers encountering someone’s daily constituions.

Given the generative AI aspect, the output would likely morph drain pipes into elevator shafts midway.

I’m counting myself lucky dealing with Bell Aliant who issue a router with an SFP stick. I’ve pulled it and stuck it into an Edgerouter X SFP. They do split their IPTV, VoIP and Internet networks onto various VLANs, but that’s about it. No

There’s no alternative, other than recognizing that these dichotomies exist. A brown bear in the wild doesn’t have any warning signs or set off any alarms, but it sure would if it was in a human-occupied building. Context is key! :)

My grandfather who learned electronics work in the USSR worked with solid rosin. When you touch the iron with the rosin, it starts smoking like incense at a church (same stuff actually), but a small amount remains on the tip. You transfer

I visited a friend in Elliot Lake once and we stopped at a plaque on the side of the highway to read. A geologist friend came along, and he recognized the formation of the rocks under our feet as uranium-bearing. I had brought my Geiger cou

I didn’t think that plain-old flex cable rerouting was even possible, given potential issues with timing with high-speed signals. Yet somehow, this still works.

Given that certain portion of the anime fan crowd is somewhat socially vulnerable, a private equity firm stepping into this space will no doubt create some predatory scenarios.

I’ve used a local library. Their print settings are usually turned down in density, and you end up with a print that’s filament held together with boogers.

It only needed a school population geeky enough to have Cybikos. I wanted one, but no one else in middle school had one!

It’s not vilified. It’s the recovery of environmental costs associated with ICEs as well as subsidizing a lower barrier to entry for EVs.

Apologies for the typo. I should have rephrased it as “re-released”. Third-gen didn’t make it to North America because it would have eaten away at the Golf/Rabbit market share.

Back in the 2000s, VW released the Sirroco. I was graduating from uni, and it looked like the perfect car for me. I would have moved heaven and earth to own one. Alas, VW hemmed and hawed on homologation for North America and ultimately, it

Manufacturing in the PRC defaults to “cheap-as-possible” mode if the specs aren’t explicitly laid out. Think stinky black plastic and sharp metal edges. Most of the time, the default is compatible with what the free-market MBA crowd wants.
