Win8 was so bad they backed away and made Win10 more like Win7. Win11 is a nightmare I only have on my work computer. Every update makes it a little bit worse.

The end of the world. Not with a bang, or even a whimper, but a fatal eye roll.

…unlike California?

They are regional, have been tested over centuries, and were largely abandoned during the past 60 years in favor of building types that depend on continuous mechanical cooling.

Does that sound like they are advocating a one-size-fits-all solution to this problem? Do you think perhaps there are building designs that are more suited to the hot days and cold nights of the deserts, and others that are more suited to a climate that is hot part of the year and cold at other times of the year?

I’ve never come across this before, and I am completely unsurprised it exists.

Most POSIX-compliant systems?

Boeing: Go ahead, pick any one you want.

Back in the old days, 1999 to 2001, there was a website where people posted TV commercials, watched them, and commented on them. This treasure trove of free advertising and feedback was taken down due to copyright infringement.

The Endless Summer Eternal September began in the late 80s and early 90s… 1993.

Firestarter with Drew Barrymore is a movie with pyrokinesis.

Also, I don’t see a lot of books in here, but Alan Deal Foster’s Flinx series is about a telepath.

Yep, when I was on there, I’d give +1 to funny and +2 to trolls. If someone showed up due to their high trolling votes, it was either the wildest or most hateful shit, but it was a hell of a read. Some of it was damned funny.

You can say someone was charged with rape, you can say someone was convicted of rape and awaiting sentencing, you can say the convicted rapist was released. All of those are statements of fact at various points of the timeline this trial took place on whic, in America, releases you from libel.

If you search for Misty Roberts in the news, you will see a number of articles. Some say sex with a child which, while not saying ‘rape’, isn’t exactly stigma-free. A number of them used rape, both before and after the conviction. Others use sexual abuse, one used the phrase ‘romping with teen’ which isn’t even necessarily a crime in many places.

The chosen phrase used isn’t an accident, and in plenty of circumstances uses a less damning term than is legally required to avoid libel, even in this one.

Search for anker recalls. They have had plenty of dangerous recalls for bad batteries. I have multiple of their products and have been pretty happy overall, but there is a risk.

More like, “Yeah, that was my best work.”

I’ve been using duck for at least 3 years, probably closer to 6 or 7. When I first used it, its searches were okay, but if I couldn’t find what I was looking for a quick trip to Google would fix that. I felt like it improved slightly over some time, but also Google got a lot worse. Now with the AI proliferation, I never bother going to Google, and duck is still better than it was a year or two ago. Their AI has about a 20 or 30% success rate for me, but I just use it as a top search if I use it at all. I would love it if the results didn’t change when I run the same search 2 minutes apart, though.

I had that going when I was younger. Premature greying and no lines on my face, I went to a carnival game where they guess age, weight, or height, and he basically just gave me a prize.

Sure, and you have radio waves and microwaves, but you also have VHF and UHF TV, ULF radio for submarines, and even radio stations are given by their frequency (even if people these days don’t think about what those numbers refer to).

…Biden being an even bigger war criminal than Trump.

Give it time! Biden had decades to commit his war crimes, but Trump is doing his best. I’m sure thinking of ways to outdo Biden is what helps him get up in the afternoon, and war crimes is probably the easiest category for him to do it in.

Those arent the people I’m referring to.

I’d be happy to pay more taxes to have a better social safety net that I expect to need very little at this point in my life. I already live in a country with universal healthcare. Yet there are still people who have no problem giving piles of cash and tax breaks to big business while at the same time complaining about the taxes we spend on social safety nets, voting for things that only help the elites, and maybe barely help those who have just a little more than what the average citizen has, and are just a few bad months from losing all they’ve gained. They make up about 30% of the population where I live, which is just enough to keep us from doing anything better.
