I read a WWII book about wartime pilots doing crazy shit. At one point the wings freeze over and the alcohol spritzers for de-icing are all plugged up, so somehow it vents into the cabin and gets the pilots drunk from the fumes. I think the

It doesn’t cost the other party anything to say you were joking. Saying you’re offended can lead to lost economic opportunity for somebody.

by yeetaccount4 5y ago
Anyone can say they’re offended without any cost to themselves. It’s ‘cheap’, and the outcome is often very ‘expensive’ for the offender. You could even make the case that virtue is derived from being offended. This disproportionality invit

I’ve tried to understand Org mode but it seems like a mix of so many different goals and ideas that it’s just a giant spitball of miscellaneous solutions. TODO README typesetting Etc ad nausea The common thread seems to be emacs. Mostly.

I’ve always figured this was what they wanted. They probably tie it to your IMEI so they can track you everywhere online and in the real world. E: Seriously? This is a multi billion dollar industry. Oh no, Google would never do that …

Obsolete, but still functional for their intended purpose. The screen will fail before the components get tin whiskers, if you use it often-ish. E ink readers will fail later because of a very low refresh rate, but as a screen monitor it ma

Depends on how things are set up with the refresh rate; subpixel rendering may have an effect IIRC. Details I don’t really understand, but e ink has a shorter lifespan than other tech.

Has there been any progress on extending e ink lifespan?

Airtags are creepy as fuck. Even if Android has built in airtag detection, it doesn’t solve the problem of people without up to date smartphones, or people that don’t know what any of those messages/warnings mean.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to remove the beeper from the device, or disable it somehow.

Funny thing is a new superduty can match or exceed the highway mileage of a new 4Runner. As long as you aren’t cruising around town or catching red lights you’re not doing all that bad. ~20MPG in eco mode.

I’ve heard that pickups got so big in the past decade or so because of Obama-era emission regulation. A bigger truck was classified differently and not subject to such strict guidelines, so when the old 3/4 and 1-ton trucks couldn’t po

Saying something measured and reasonable doesn’t get anyone talking at all. Creating a contentious debate gets you press. In reality, the single issue should have been around qualified immunity. Get rid of that and the ducks will fall into

I’ve heard about how music is written by labels these days. They get a bunch of writers in a hotel for a few days and brainstorm song themes and lines, then mix and match what works. Writers will get paid for a couple of words. It’s no wond

It’s because being straight, white and not trans means you’re an evil oppressor to a lot of younger people these days. They at least have to claim bisexuality when they aren’t, or loudly proclaim their brown ethnicity when they’re in fact o

There’s profit incentive, but also regulation to make them more efficient. Say they have an undersized motor now, you may have to wash your clothes a few times or do more small loads. This puts more hours on the poor motor and it burns out

In my view, the issue is short term memory among voters and frustration with the political class and its inability to do do much at all. Since the other team is in office right now, people don’t like them.

Because it works wells enough for education purposes and would help prepare them for computers that many of them would encounter eventually. Sugar was well intentioned wankery. You could have had special use case software for off the grid l

They could have just used or written something that introduced them to standard UI metaphors instead of giving them Sugar. Probably would have saved effort.

I gotta say the one thing the OLPC did right was the display. I wish every laptop had a full sun mode, that thing was awesome. IIRC there were no moving parts (fan? don’t recall), which was another huge plus. Everything else was pretty bad.

Maybe for the next variant. Omi was asymptomatic after delta and a bunch of shots.

I agree with you but they had just spent the entire interview talking about that. It was an awkward shoehorn to say the least.

This reminds me of an OS built with asm for Dell desktop PC’s around 2005-ish. The DE had most things you’d expect from a Linux distro at the time, including true transparency (IIRC), and the whole thing fit on a floppy. Saw it in a Linux m

How’s this better than a $15 mortar and pestle? I mean for $200 let’s mill that bitch out of a solid block of Ti and give it tungsten carbide burrs…okay that’s probably a $1000 kitchen status symbol.
