Strontium and manganese

“Rare material” references the fact that it’s a magnetoelectric which is a rare category of materials, not how difficult it is to get or produce. In fact, it’s made of common metals.

To clarify, this is the government’s position, not the law. This hasn’t been officially ruled on yet.

In a lawsuit that The New York Times filed against OpenAI, the Trump administration has contributed a 20-page brief in defense of the ChatGPT maker’s unlicensed use of copyrighted material to train its LLMs.

However, it’s not looking promising in legal terms either.

Damn, now I’m gonna need taller wallet for my bills.

Strange, on my Bazzite install, that’s the folder that Steam uses. Either way, glad it helped at least.

Copy the game folders into ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/ and then find each game in your library and install it. It will find the files and skip most/all of the download.

In this case, it`s just sugar and citrus peels. The sugar pulls the oils out of the peels, and you end up with oleosaccharum, which is then added to the lemonade.

Piñatex (Spanish pronunciation: [piɲaˈteks]) is the trade name for a non-biodegradable leather alternative made from cellulose fibres extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA (polylactic acid), and petroleum-based resin

Still plastic, unfortunately.

Cork is definitely a cleaner alternative, but I don’t know how durable it is in “leather” form.

Homeless people need a lot more help than just a roof over their heads

Sure, but it’s a lot easier to deal with many of those issues when you don’t have to also worry about having a roof over your head.

So why does he get deported to the UK when the others get deported to Uganda or El Salvador?

They are not casting proxy votes. They tried to and were denied.

Black Friday has been a thing in Canada for well over a decade at this point. It’s never been as crazy as in the States, but it’s been around for sure.

The first manned flight of a hot air balloon was in 1783. I’m sure a lot of people thought flying would be a regular occurrence in the future. Maybe 100 years earlier it would have been an outrageous thought though.

It helps that we know exactly where to look for it the signal, but I agree it’s insane that it’s so far away and we can still communicate with it 49 years later. This was launched in 1977, it’s running on half-century-old tech and still partly functional. And the main reason it’s only partly functional is that we shut down features to save on power.

It’s American money, given to Israel, funding AIPAC to spend on influencing American politics. It’s a waste of taxpayer money, sadly.

I press the button every time, and if there’s a break in the traffic, I cross before it changes.

I also recline my seat on the plane as far as it goes. I don’t have any problem with others doing the same.

and forwarded it.

I’m sure they did.

My understanding is that it was a marketplace seller, not Best Buy themselves, who sold the laptop to the customer.

At least the techs actually made an effort to diagnose the issue and figured out that removing the stick of RAM fixed it. They’re not responsible for the sale of a laptop with more memory than the motherboard can handle.

All these marketplaces are a disaster. So many shady sellers posting the same items on every site they can, and nobody takes responsibility when an issue inevitably pops up.

These pedestrian streets are great. If only they’d keep them year round instead of only during the summer.
