  • More like fully Bajoran, surely? Since he modeled his appearance on the Bajoran scientist studying him, even if he couldn't get the nose right.

  • Now Shell is charging but double dipping with the ads too.

    Enshittification is insatiable. There is no bottom and no end, short of destroying the entities perpetrating it.

    Jump

  • I've used gloves when pumping diesel because the handle gets a lot dirtier (greasy, in fact), but given the sticker on the fuel door that's not what's happening here. A gasoline pump handle isn't gross enough to bother.

  • There's always a mute button. Sometimes it's through the speaker cone.

  • Delivery

    Jump

  • For that to be useful, two things would have to be true:

    1. The problem would have to be big enough for it to be worth Amazon's man-hours developing and maintaining a solution
    2. Enough recipients would have to be willing to go through the hassle of reporting (for Amazon's benefit, not their own) instead of just tossing the empty package and moving on with their day

  • Bruce Springsteen releases anti-ICE protest song 'Streets of Minneapolis'

    Jump

  • Also same age (I prefer "Oregon Trail generation"), but I did grow up listening to music like Springsteen. It may be because my parents were older, but they often had the radio tuned to oldies or classic rock stations and so that's what I got used to.

  • Stardew Valley Creator Shuts Down Rumors Haunted Chocolatier 'Will Be Abandoned,' Insisting: 'It Will Come Out When It’s Ready' - IGN

    Jump

  • there is always going to be cut content

    Or said another way, not having cut content means they released their first rough draft instead of editing and refining it.

  • Stardew Valley Creator Shuts Down Rumors Haunted Chocolatier 'Will Be Abandoned,' Insisting: 'It Will Come Out When It’s Ready' - IGN

    Jump

  • Two free (major) updates: 1.5 and 1.6 both came out after Haunted Chocolatier was announced.

  • This is why you should respect our vets

    Jump

  • In zombie media, the other reason they find a vet instead of a human doctor is that it ups the drama by showing how desperate they are to find any medical help, even if it's suboptimal.

  • Rust Preinstalled

    Jump

  • At this point, I think the vast majority of performance issues would be caused by the browser itself trying to render overcomplicated javascript-infested pages, not the distro or DE. Pick any distro you want, but use a lightweight browser.

  • You shouldn't need to run make as root, except maybe for make install.

  • Computer wiring tunnel, abandoned coal power plant. Photo by Bryan Buckley.

    Jump

  • Why so many? Is it a relatively small set of signals multiplied over multiple boilers or something, or is each line really doing something different, or what?

    Are modern plants similarly full of wires, or have they streamlined it (e.g. by multiplexing a bunch of signals as packet data on a single networking cable)?

  • Computer wiring tunnel, abandoned coal power plant. Photo by Bryan Buckley.

    Jump

  • Right, but even taking that into account, how many control signals could the thing possibly need?

    If I enumerate every possible signal I can think of that a coal plant might need (boiler temp, fire temp, turbine speed, water flow, fuel hopper door control, etc.), and then arbitrarily multiply by an order of magnitude, my estimate is still lower than the number of wires I see in the pic.

  • Computer wiring tunnel, abandoned coal power plant. Photo by Bryan Buckley.

    Jump

  • Why does a power plant need that much circuitry in the first place? I get that it's probably super-old and probably built back when you needed a whole server rack for the equivalent compute of a pocket calculator (and also it's relatively bulky because it's a lot of relays for switching high-current stuff), but still, a coal power plant shouldn't be that complicated, right?
