I have yet to see an electric vehicle fire, even on the news.

100% and you know the first time it happens is going to be super covered too because of the potential for “controversy”.

I was about to say that slave ‘ownership’ doesn’t make him a terrorist, but yeah it does because i don’t think it’s possible to enslave a person without terrorizing them.

That’s still like 6% of people ever are alive right now which is pretty amazing.

In a sense, life is only known to be 94% fatal.

Okay, I think $80 Canadian for a case, psu, mobo, cpu, & ram is sounding pretty reasonable. I just don’t know of its enough processing power for the video stuff. But I guess if not I can upgrade the mobo/cpu or add a graphics card.

Thanks, that channel looks great.

Re offsite backup: Yes I don’t have so many family photos that it will be difficult/ expensive to store online. But I need to get them together first.

I don’t have a computer with a bluray drive, only laptops.

Yeah, I comment more and longer. Because I’m more confident it will be seen.

That’s an interesting point about radio emissions leaving the heated space.

I have had issues with the wifi on mine. Frequently losing connection and having to restart the network adapter or reboot entirely.

Adjusting the wifi to avoid 802.11ax seems to have resolved the issue.

The regular board falls apart when you roll dice onto it this looks much more stable

It’s because your return journey is closer to the axis of the earth so your action has less torque.

I was going to say a similar thing, how are you going to get gone without canceling it out.

But also if you walked away from the equator then walked until you were directly north/ south of your home before walking home, some effect would remain.

I’m not the one you were replying to and haven’t read the comments you referenced but couldn’t let this stand unchallenged:

It’s not censorship when they’re removing posts by both sides.

Yes it is censorship, it could be censorship with reduced bias, it might even be appropriate censorship. But it is literally censorship to censor speech.

Take the box of bent nails/ screws/ nuts/ bolts/doo hickies that everyone of us has and fill it with sand.

Dbrand is lucky they haven’t been sued by the board manufacturers for creating an unlicensed derivative work (which is what the case art is, just as the photo of a sculpture, even stylized, has been deemed derivative - especially when the reproduction is intended to represent the original).

I think “lucky” is an overstatement but this is an interesting point and could be the knockoff company’s defense ie:

we couldn’t have infringed their IP because they don’t own the IP

But I think this line of defense would open both case makers up to a suit from the phone manufacturers. Dbrand is well familiar with IP issues with hardware OEMs though so I don’t know…

Ledes: leads led the lead leads to LEDs in Leeds.

Pronounced:

the leeds: leeds led the led leeds to leds in leeds

Translation:

multiple headlines said he followed his bosses with soft metal wires to connect some energy efficient lights in the worst place to stage a protest.

I’m a feminist and not a Freemason. I wasn’t convinced that Freemasonry is misogynistic simply because it excludes women. Ie: I think there are valid reasons to have some gender separated spaces. My understanding is that Freemasonry is a practice intended to ‘improve’ men (whatever that means to them). I think that’s possibly a valid reason for maintaining a gendered space.

However; in preparing to write this comment I learned that Masonry’s sister organization (The Order of the Eastern Star), which is open to both men and women, is subordinate to the Masonic lodge. This does strike me as misogynistic.

I’m open to reading thoughtful comments by Masons or more knowledgeable feminists.

I think the idea of it being an alternative power structure is part of it, but their reasoning is that Freemasonry is Deist/Rationalist which is incompatible with the Catholic position that revelation is a source of truth. Anything that elevates Freemasonry inherently undermines Catholic dogma.

Catholics and Masons are welcome to weigh in though, I’m not either.

I’m sure I read it online it might have just been a scifi writing prompt from the site that must not be named (reddit).

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy has an alien species that evolved on a planet (Krikkit)with constant thick dust clouds.

Upon first witnessing the glory and splendor of the Universe, they casually, whimsically, decided to destroy it, remarking, “It’ll have to go.” (…) the Krikkiters built an incredible battlefleet and waged a massive war against the entire Universe. The Galaxy, then in an era of relative peace, was unprepared, and spent the next 2,000 years fighting the Krikkiters in a war that resulted in about two “grillion” casualties

Isaac Asimov also mused about ribbon worlds. ie tidally locked planets with a habitable zone in the twilight regions.

I seem to recall also reading a story about a species on a ribbon world but because of precession had a 10,000 year (or so) day. They had a constant slow migration and eventually started finding the ancient forgotten ruins of their own society.

Also nightfall by Asimov.
