Absolutely perfect marketing: call it "Rubbee" because that's exactly the target market. As in "Man, I have to take my welfare cheque to Money Mart and then go all the way over to the liquor store to get my Night Train,

Anyone who has been to sea in a small boat would not consider most of these "mysterious". Take Hubert Marcoux as an example. He set out to cross from Nova Scotia to Bermuda in November and was never heard from again. There was ver

If someone posts something on GitHub, I will appreciate it for what it is, whether it "works" or not. Maybe I will adapt it to my needs. Maybe I will open an issue. Whatever. If someone promotes something that doesn't work,

The other strategy that is ultra-efficient is to stop using the net to sell hoards of useless crap that will break the day after the warranty expires and cannot be repaired. That would save money on the computing power as well as the mining

With the discovery of bronze, we have reached the end of metallurgy. Our ancestors struggled with inferior iron, often unalloyed and scooped out of riverbanks and swamps. But our technology has now progressed to the point of creating the pe

There is something terribly wrong with a species who, in the infancy of their space travel, spends so much time and effort considering the matter of making war in space.

I do not understand why the list of available imagery disappears when I zoom in. I would expect it to show images that include the area I am looking at. I checked to make sure that the small area I was looking at was covered by at least som

Happiness is overrated; find something you like doing and do it. A job, a hobby, a pursuit--in short, an avocation. The greatest horror for me would be to not be interested in anything. So many people seem to have this affliction. That is w

Sure, but that does not strictly explain the phenomenon. The headphones have clear line-of-sight to the laptop in both the "off" (comfortable) position and the "on" (infinite set of uncomfortable) positions. The absorpti

I use my Bose QC35 Bluetooth headphones with my MacBook to watch movies. The system has a comfort meter: when my head is in exactly the most comfortable spot on the couch, the Bluetooth signal drops out completely. It also drops out when I

It genuinely astonishes me that people don't seem to have the attention span to get the title correct. It's just a few words. How hard is it to check the spelling? Messed up titles are extremely common, even in areas where it matt

This is the worst of science writing. I have zero interest in the man's childhood or what he or his desk looks like; just tell me about the science. Articles like this are pandering to the lowest intelligence that purports to be able t

Yeah, great idea, but it doesn't work at all. Probably just early days. Just tried it with Win10 and current Debian ISOs. Ventoy menu comes up showing both ISOs, but both fail to boot the same way with cryptic and meaningless error mes

Wow, that script so does not work under MacOS! The first hurdle is that it errs out on the bash version. Yes, yes, I know, Apple supplies v3.x something and you have to upgrade to v4.x something or higher. But when I upgraded using 'br

Apple has become monstrous. This is an egregious waste of the planet's resources. I am an Apple developer and huge Mac/IOS fan, and I have grown to hate the company with a burning passion. I will not buy one thing from Apple. They

Everyone is so angry at Michael Moore because they are terminally anthropocentric. The point of the film is that we need to achieve fewer humans, and this makes the anthropocentrists rabidly angry. Moore makes an excellent point: creating s

Absolute nonsense. The presence of an artifact on a FLIR recording proves nothing except that we are too quick to make assumptions and very gullible as a species.

If you can't make the point now, when can you make it? Once the pandemic is under control, no one will care. The bottom line would appear to be that capitalism is, by far, the best system we have, but only when it operates inside a wal
