Rest of your lake, rest of your salt, it’s all down below.

Not when you are forced to use dial-up internet when all your online friends had Ethernet or optic cable for years. That was the state of civilization between '90s and 2000.

How did this happen? We need to rename the place immediately!

When USSR ended, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus were in very similar situation, politically and economically. Belarus got Lukashenko from the very beginning, he immediately bought off police and squashed all dissent. Ukraine had a wannabe dictator Yanukovich, bur kicked him out.

Russia got a big window of opportunity between Yeltsin and Putin, they could totally do their own Maidan, plus storming Kremlin is a historical Russian tradition.

No one cared.

They got a taste of Europe and civilized world, the young people got tech jobs with lots of money. Instead of fixing their own government, they mostly emigrated, and now formed a diaspora instead of learning the language and blabbering about mysterious Russian soul and wanking on WW2 photos.

One of Putin’s fears is that Ukraine showed a clear scenario how to depose a dictator.

Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it’s a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it’s rotating.

Will we see people floating into the sky with clothes ripped off after eating one spoonful of fried rice?

Also, one of the characters wears gloves. Actual sanitary practices in my anime kitchen?

That corner cutout is grossly exagerrated. In the actual floppy disk (which is also not floppy anymore) the cutout is tiny.

Regular gas contained lead, so not quite the same.

When you get into electrochemistry, the answer becomes complicated. Positively charged molecules move too, and in semiconductors there’s such thing as a ‘hole’ - an absence of electron in a densely packed electron field - which carries charge as if it were a real particle.

Hosting your own server had never been easier. You can get a ‘forever free’ VPS from Google, Oracle, and supposedly IBM (I’ve never tried them).

Imagine if Arm Holdings would acquire Loongson. Their combined CPU architecture would be called
L O O O O N G A R M.

I have a waist-high CD rack with music and games that’s collecting dust for 15 years. If I finally throw it away, and someone picks it up from a garbage bin, will I become a pirate too?

Google was already doing that for years. Most of Firefox users use it because it’s leaner than Chrome and supports adblockers. None of these advantages will suddenly disappear, but Chrome will inevitably become worse all by itself, and more users will migrate away from it to Firefox.

So Firefox strategy should be to simply not screw up by adding unnecessary stuff like AI.

wcsoll in the picture is an error, unless it’s Welsh.

At any point when I needed an engineering calculator, I just created an ad-hoc Python script. Python seems to be easier to learn than 30 random buttons with mysterious mathematical functions.

Solution: stop using Reddit

The obvious choice is 8-------------------------------------------------------------D.com

Unfortunately D will become d in a browser URL field.

In my country they are, as long as they passed a certification.
