I went the caffeine pill way too. It's so much easier and safer at my job to carry a bottle of 100 mg caffeine pills and my screw-shut water bottle than carrying that water bottle and a coffee cup. And don't have to deal with folk "forgetting" to refill the break room coffee pot either.

Correct; This is another trove of files.
The bill to release the federally held files would have to clear the House, Senate and be signed by the president or get a veto-proof supermajority in both chambers. A quite tall order, but not impossible.

The episode of The Simpsons about this from the 90s really needs to be spread around more. I do not want people to have to resort to getting surgery from Nick Riviera level yahoos 'cause they can't afford, or can't even get at any price, insurance.

And prominently featuring that their analog sticks use long-lasting magnetic Hall effect sensors is a shot at Nintendo not using that tech in the Switch 2, instead reusing the same potentiometer tech from the Switch that was prone to drift after not that much wear from use.

The range within that 100,000 year continuum that the composition of elements in the core of the device makes sense for as far as our knowledge goes of the operation of similar devices is where the estimated age of the ship can be placed. (3/3)

Extract the device's radioactive material and figure out what elements it's composed of. Using the known atomic decay rate of those elements, calculate how much of each there would have been in the device going back, to start, 100,000 years, in one year increments. (2/3)

I'd say first look for any ship systems or equipment carried on-board that use decay of radioactive material for their operation, and are tech we know; Something like a radioisotope thermoelectric generator or atomic clock. (1/1)

First line sounds akin to a saying my mom had:
"In the dark, all cats are grey."
Still not that sure what it means.

Still costs them more money in that they'll have to buy more hard drives, the systems to mount them into, more space to hold them both, and pay more in maintenance costs for it all.

...Why the heck is YouTube gonna intentionally increase the amount of data storage they're gonna need to pay for by making old video files multiple times larger? This makes no sense!

I concur. Even though I've never actually watched the film or read the book, I've absorbed enough opinion on the matter to agree. I think if it had just been it's own thing and not involved the book's name and characters, things would have been better.

This reminded me of the reactions of a CK2 LPer playing as England to, in rapid sequence:
Discovering their crown prince was gay: "Oh no."
Discovering their son next in line to the throne was gay: "Oh no!"
Discovering they discovered these things by the king walking in on 'em fuckin': "OH NO!"

Ah, now your photo caption of the wee baby rattler being "A rattlesnake about as big around as a pencil" makes more sense; You were comparing their body cross section diameter to a pencil's and not to the total width of them while coiled up, as viewed from above. 'Cause that woulda been way small.

Do note that this interview was from May 22, 2023, so it's not recent. Of course, that doesn't excuse Ari Shapiro's leading questioning. And it's made worse 'cause it was during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and a lot about it.

I really, REALLY hope that the folk who buy that know to COOK it before using it in fondue.
Fondue is not anywhere near hot enough for long enough to cook beef.

Ah, I was wrong. I thought at first their stove was the one that gave away it was never used because there were electrical wires zip-tied to the stovepipe, which would have melted from the heat if the stove was used. Guess that was another tradwife.

Hm, my guess is the inbreeding tracking is somehow only tied to the title tracking system; No title, no tracking.
Well, if you've gotta project to breed in a certain set of traits to a bloodline to later merge into your dynasty, this oversight seems to make that project significantly easier.

I know it's supposed to be shaped like a ear of corn, but my first thought was it looked like the old-style "pineapple" grenade.

I benefited directly from this rule back in September 2023 and didn't even know it. Needed a replacement set of mouse glide feet and somehow the best deal on 'em was outside the U.S even with S&H. Didn't realize it from Ukraine 'till I got the mailer, covered in postmarked Ukrainian stamps. Kept it.

Not that happy if they did settle. I wanted this to go to full trial so they could do discovery and dump it all out in the public, as well as taking Anthropic for everything they got and then some.

Bought Silksong yesterday, but on GOG.com 'cause that way it has no DRM, so no chance of somehow getting yanked away from me. I got the full game installer safely on my SSD and it's staying there.
