Opening line of Neuromancer doesn’t make much sense any more "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

It’s like a small pitcher with a movable filter, you put in the ground coffee, hit water, stir, wait, push down the filter with the grounds, pour off the coffee with most of the ground staying in the French press.

Like, not dying while trying to go through menus while driving

They moved from python?

I’m shocked I had to scroll this far for the first fluxbox/Enlightenment/windowmaker user

Does it make floppy sounds?

Here only those data are available for search that are older than 100 years in case of birth certificates and maybe 50 for deaths. So you would need to know at least your grandparents’ birth data to start…

It depends… Are we speaking about keeping only tall blonde kids? Or aborting a fetus with 95% Down syndrome? Angelman’s? Some other even worse? Stopping a possibility fatal pregnancy? Where do you put the line?

Knowing the Germans there is a slight chance somebody going to court because it was advertised as 1.5€/kg, and winning

I tried that as well, but for me it was like being 10 again: -you meet the bandits -I, the lvl1 player kill them all -OK -I just remembered my party had a necromancer, raise the corpses -sure thing -I march around with my undead army and murder everyone who is in my way -This game is about creativity and cooperation -Not today -OK

It’s 1.05 picoparsec^2

Nobody really expected global politics going down the drain as it does, either - just as South Park production stopped because there was no sense in parodizing reality when it’s weirder than what they could come up with

In short:

• In the beginning he won an election with supermajority, since than they changed election rules so it’s harder to get them removed (rules favor the single strongest party, so they can be beaten in 1v1 only, but the opposition has several parties)
• Many young people who had enough left the country, but it got harder to vote if you emigrated
• They introduced a public work program that local mayors use to threat people to vote for them
• Orbán realized that leaders in the EU stopped believing him, so he made new friends with Russia, Kazakhstan, etc
• He uses the only power he has - he can pose as the leader of an EU county legitimizing these autocracies, and
• vetoing EU decisions un favor of his New friends
• EU was created with a good faith, a county cannot be kicked out
• So the only lever they have is closing the money tap that would dry up his guild of thieves - that is happening right now

As far as I know there would be, it’s just that nobody is using them that way

What I don’t get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It’s changing every day, and it’s always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn’t make any sense to write about it.

I don’t mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.

There’s no fair winning against this policy

One local news site wrote that it might be a mistranslation, and a poet from Leva got to be leftist poet. Can’t confirm personally, my Slovak vocabulary is 20 words at maximum

There’s also the study on super flares on solar like stars: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11063 From this and follow-up papers it absolutely can happen on the Sun, just with a very low probability.

(I never thought this would ever come up on social media)

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won’t work as it’s easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.
