“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go,”
This quote by Kavanaugh is a false statement, and probably a lie. Lots of permanent residents with valid green cards and people with valid visas are getting abducted by ICE, and then their visa or green card is simply revoked for no reason. Then they are deported.
Electrical engineer here. There is almost no difference.
The cost of streaming video from a server to your computer is pretty small, basically just transferring the bytes from a hard drive to a network card. This happens in a datacenter on a big server designed to be efficient at it, and serve a ton of people at once. Your own electricity consumption on your viewing device is likely much higher than that. You can calculate your electricity consumption using a Kill-A-Watt or similar device, but here are some averages of measurements I've made on my devices:
PC with 27" LCD monitor: 150W
50" TV: 300W
Laptop with internal 14" screen: 40W
Phone with 5" screen: 10W roughly, but it's complicated
Phone with screen off, speaker only: 2W (guessing here)
Handheld FM radio: less than 1W
If you look at your computer's CPU usage while watching video, it's mostly idle. So most of the power consumption is the screen's backlight.
Assuming worst-case coal power, releasing 0.4kg of carbon per kWh, and a large TV, and let's say 10% overhead for the server's energy cost, that's 0.13kg of carbon per hour. So don't worry about it.
I. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
"The Ten Commandments" are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.
I loaded a bunch of articles until it prompted me to pay. I got the screenshot below. In my opinion, this is an intentionally misleading fake 50c/month offer.
Not sure how much you're paying for your VPN, but a virtual private server can be had for about $5 per month. You'll get a real IPv4 address just for you, so you won't have to use non-standard port numbers. (You can also use the VPS as a self-hosted VPN or proxy.)
$5 per month doesn't get you much processing power, but it gets you plenty of bandwidth. You could self-host your server on your home computer, and reverse-proxy through your NAT using the VPS.
A slide out menu can be done in pure CSS and HTML. Imho, it would look bad regardless.
When if you said just send the parts of the page that changed, that dynamic content loading would still be JavaScript
OP is trying to access a restaurant website that has no interactivity. It has a bunch of static information, a few download links for menu PDFs, a link to a different domain to place an order online, and an iframe (to a different domain) for making a table reservation.
The web dev using javascript on that page is lazy, yet also creating way more work for themself.
You're misunderstanding. They bought these games through Steam. Their proof of ownership of the account is that they have the Steam account. There's no legitimate reason to lock the authorized Steam user out of the account.
Is this sarcasm?
