I saw that when I was a kid!

Really just slid that one in there…

With only a phone, an app, and a radio you get a radio!

Yes it is, federation work is ongoing. I think stars are in beta.

I have not seen quadlets before, that’s really neat.

Whatever floats your boat…

Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

From the linked discussion it looks like there’s a new feature rolling out where mods can activate “automatic ban evasion protection” during a ban. Mods don’t get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.

It’s a campground chain in the US.

It’s a specter with a heart bleed.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

It’s a form of parasocial relationship. It can trigger the same feelings as if you were in a room with some friends chatting. You get to “know” the people’s personalities, you can anticipate their reactions to things, you get invested in their personal relationships.

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A “gaming” focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

I trade finding bugs for treats. Cat tracks and alerts, I catch or kill, and cat gets a snack. Everyone wins and no one gets bitten, stung, or weird parasites.

Import tariffs and service bans are definitely pretty wonky with dubious benefits, but I can understand the export concerns. Exporting tech that can be used in weapons directly to a country that is threatening a highly strategic ally (Taiwan) is a bad move. Yes they’ll get them elsewhere or make them, but you won’t have the US government and a US company directly profiting off the destruction of an ally.
