Wonder how many school lunches or college degrees that ‘flag blue’ color would have paid for …

oh oh … there’s that old vegeta ble again.

Also, note that LMint installs many Ubuntu components, but supports Flatpak apps out-of-the-box, but not Snap.

would be worth $3,703 today. Or perhaps $250 tomaro when the AI bubble pops. An investment in the market is obviously worth more to those high-living traders, of course (and those fee-loving brokers), so they concur.

And whatever they say the victim did is often what THEY did.

The critical thinking skills need for science could be detrimental to any plans to permanantly disorient humanity with half-truths, lies, and other culture-busting forms of disorientation.

One symptom: “explosive diarrhea”

Wash your hands, fruits and veggies first !!

Unfortunately, HS teachers in places which need to know these things the most are also the most likely to lose their jobs for it. E.g. In my HS, learning ‘history’ stopped at the beginning of the 20th-century.

Just like in Rome

As was noted by P.K. Dick …

And then there’s the security question … what’s to stop their ‘guards’ from realizing that they could be living securely -without- the boss?

The disappearnce of brick-and-mortar stores is one the biggest catastrophes caused by Big Tech. The ‘free to return if dissatisfied’ option creates higher prices for everything you’d have avoided purchasing at the store, along with the added environmental costs of two wasted trips, and the product possibly being disposed-of.

The brick-and-mortar loss also means that consumers of necessities have far fewer options to buy locally.

As with any generation, many of the people who were teens in the 60s did not like the depression- and war-torn, conformist, society they grew up in, They had much different values and music and politics and approaches to life. Yes … today they’d be called democratic socialists, they showed up for Sanders’ tour. They don’t watch what Mideas Touch calls the ‘Regime Media’. The Repubs are running scared about the midterms, for a good reason.

Thinking everyone in an earlier generation is to blame for anything today is wrong-headed and the result of just not knowing enough about history.

This discussion was very useful in understanding the importance of getting feedback on code … and documenting ASAP - because, over time, even the author’s memory of the code’s purposes will get dimmer.

If the code is at all complicated? Then after a year or two, documentation (including function and variable names!) might make the difference between hours of study and days.

Animals are sometimes declared ‘extinct’ (no one is aware of any living examples) while they still exist (sometimes for decades).

Until 1967, noone was aware of the existence of gamma-ray bursts, the result of the biggest explosions in the universe. The bursts were only visible to specialized satellites.

Right now, people are suffering from diseases caused by unknown viruses.

In Hawaii’s two houses, only one rep. voted against it.

Prolly not … but congrats on owning a chunk of the everlasting!

Next time, instead of buying, take the idea home. Think about it first.

Now that he realizes that he got fished in, what’s he plan to do to make up for his multiple mistakes?

I remember a bunch of movies where torches and pitchforks helped.

Wow, $600? I think you should expect a lot better range out of that battery!! Rechargeable batteries don’t like getting near ends of their range. 40 to 85% charge is about right.

If the charger is cheesy or broken, it could be charging to 100% (or worse yet, not stopping) That would be bad, so you might replace the charger … making sure that the replacement is doing the right thing for you.

I just watched a video where a Chinese taxi (car) battery was taken out of service after 800,000 km. (Probably in a couple of years!) That battery pack would have A LOT more cells in it, so the strain on each cell would be less. They’re expensive, so the charger is probably very high-quality.
