I think I’ve reported 4 different versions of these ads. They look pretty near identical for the little bit I watch before I report, but the advertiser is always different, but also based in Poland.

I think the Reddit blackout did a lot, just not everything. I’m here on Lemmy because of it. Granted I’m still on Reddit as well, and Mastodon, and Xitter…

Just keep plugging along, and every little bit helps.

Monster Green shoppers are likely younger (Gen-Z/Millennial/Gen-X) male, lower income & Caucasian (skews Hispanic).

As an aging member of Gen-X, I appreciate this description.

Inspiring story, can we be like that again?

So much of the extra costs of building seems to be endless rounds of reviews and revisions. Sure, building things better is… better, but we’ve seen this process hijacked by NIMBY’s (IMHO).

Basically. 99 Percent Invisible did a podcast on this very topic: Episode 468 Alphabetical Order

Hmm, what sort of crimes could I do with an old Okidata dot-matrix printer?

Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,

Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don’t know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O’Toole all over again.

Four journalists had an opportunity to ask a question and follow-up of Carney. Only two were real journalists, and the difference was telling.

• Q1a: Missed original identification and question, but apparently what budget cut will be made to make room for promised investments?
• Q1b: where is the $500 billion coming from.
• Q2a: Juno news: Was Justin Trudeau a good Prime Minister?
• Q2b: How you reconcile (working with former LPC members who were part of Trudeau’s government)? The “odd” question.
• Q3a: Canadian Press: New immigration targets?
• Q3b: Pipelines take years, how does that protect Canadian sovereignty?
• Q4a: True North: “How many genders are there?”
• Q4b: Do biological women have a right to their own spaces?

Mythbusters did this with coffee whitener as I recall. Impressive.

This has also happened to sawmills and flour mills, under less controlled circumstances.

Always comes to mind. Why buy it if you need to crack the DRM someday and become a criminal? Just pirate it in the first place.

In theory, higher voltage × lower amps = same power (W=V×A, you can double V and halve A and get the same power). Or in this case, double the double the voltage, same current, double the power maybe?

There is still some voodoo happening with the batteries to be able to take the charge so quickly. More battery cells charging in parallel is probably part of it, but it couldn’t be all of it.

Really tough to speculate off of this thin announcement.

I’m pretty sure that 80% if what we learned from the Nazi/Imperial Japan super unethical experiments was “what can a psychotic doctor justify in order to have an excuse to torture people to death.”

Maybe 20% was arguably useful, and most of that could have been researched ethically with other methods.

Made the Eros comparison just a few comments above!

They were dead anyways (thanks to Protogen releasing the protomolecule), the real tragedy would be to let their deaths be in vain…

Eros in the Expanse.

That’s kind of what I was thinking.

I used to run Folding@Home, as well as others, as a screensaver. It’s been a while, but I think you had some control of how hard to work the computer. As someone who regularly works with 30 year old computers that run 24/7, it seems weird to kill a GPU by running it,but if it runs cooler maybe it will last longer? Although that defeats the purpose kind of.

Now you need to use the money you saved and the $15 in crypto to buy two identical computers, then run one flat out and the other at around 50% and see how long they last. Report back every couple of years.

Excuse me while I look at extreme uptime posts.

That’s what I’m assuming the original diagram is showing, the “Observable Universe” in some sort of radically increasing scale.

I think the association came from emulation. IIRC, you can sometimes play Colecovision ROMS with the MSX emulator in RetroArch, although it’s been a while since I dealt with this.

For some reason I’m reminded of the Colecovision and the Colecovision Adam. Did those share any architecture with the MSX devices?

I’m assuming interactive fiction means more along the lines of Choose Your Own Adventure books or Fighting Fantasy game books.

Article mentions text adventures as well, but old school like Zork and such wouldn’t work well without a keyboard. Maybe more the nineties era Gabriel Knight and Beneath a Steel Sky,but that would suffer from a black and white screen.

That’s exactly why I always enable the Compose key. It’s the fastest and easiest way to just type a variety of Unicode glyphs. The key combinations trend to be intuitive as well.

There’s a good chance the default config file will have a pretty decent selection. Although I have edited the config in the past, I haven’t done it under KDE. The KDE article on setting up the compose key seems to say that KDE uses a different config file anyways.

Turning on the Compose key is pretty straightforward as I recall, just another setting under Keyboard settings. Finding that config file is still useful if you can’t guess the right combo for your desired glyph.

Very useful for using character common in math and science.
