Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before.

Appreciate the recommendation, I’ll def look into it!

When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I’m probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.

Yeah, but isn’t net zero the huge milestone that’s actually accomplishable in “our lifetime”*?

*on some self reflection and as a millennial, very net negative emissions feels accomplishable in my lifetime, so I suppose when I’m saying “our lifetime” I mean before the Boomers/Gen X die off.

What about reusing the bag clip plus the twist and tuck method?

Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.

Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.

Derp, that’s what happens when you have to bounce between too many pages on mobile.

Thanks for the pointer!

Metric appears to end at 10^30, but even then, I think the better way to phrase that number would be 5,000 quetta-bytes

Tera = 10^12; Septillion Sextillion = 10^21

Next question: how does the rest of the photo come out when using that camera lens?

Polarized light still feels like black magic to me, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it would have a negligible to no effect on anything else in the frame, but my instinct says it would mess up a bunch of random things, thus making it useful for very specific spy craft type applications, but not for general use.

Pretty sure i get the rest of it, but not sure I get the dog whistle behind 13 January. What’s the deal with that?

Can’t wait to hear his response to this on the next podcast.

Thanks for genuine response. Lol, most who interpret my question that way you did don’t seem interested in a good faith discussion. But ol’ boy is def tripping if he thinks SQL isn’t used in the government.

Big thing I’m intending to pry at is whether there would be a legitimate purpose to have duplicated SSNs in the database (thus showing the First Bro doesn’t understand how SQL works).

Yeah, obviously ol’ boy is tripping if he thinks SQL isn’t used in the government.

had to join to it

I don’t think I get what this means. As you describe it, that reference id sounds comparable to a pointer, and so there should be a quick look up when you need to de-reference it, but that hardly seems like a “dependency knot”?

I feel like this is showing my own ignorance on the back end if databasing. Can you point me to references that explain this better?

Right. Fingers crossed we figure out national IDs before then.
