I vote “schlopp summoning”

You are amazing, all the self control of Donald Trump with the charismatic charm of Mark Zuckerburg.

no no no; since you are using zsh you will need to use ragedit not regedit.

Oh yes, we had this on our books… Then the current bunch of cunts (not the good kind); removed it to make more tax money. Absolute idiocy!

We had world leading legislation, but duck the future generations aye.

Fire, the wheel and the printing press, would be my top three.

But the modern world is all about the manipulation of electromagnetism.

Whilst the industrial revolution started with mechanical power; the harnessing of steam essentially. The modern world owes everything to the mastery of the electron and the photon, and more generally the exquisite control of electromagnetism.

The manipulation of electrons enables the iPhone; touted as the possible pinnacle of achievement; basically every industrial process on the planet is monitored and controlled by electromagnetic means.

Our true highest achievement is the ongoing development of the control of electromagnetic phenomena; we bend electrons and photons to our will, manipulate matter on the smallest scales using these forces, measure the bending of the fabric of reality, and probe the secrets of the universe. The iPhone is but one small aspect of this continuum of knowledge.

The hands of fate are kind today.

If I got an old kindle; how easy is it to jailbrake it and install a better system?

Notification history is off by default in GrapheneOS…so that is nice.

Indeed.

Total energy available is higher, but that reaction produces radiation as the primary product. Radiation is difficulty to properly direct.

Fusion (aneutronic) produces the bulk of the energy as charged particles, which we can direct with magnetic or electric fields.

To be fair; if you could build a fusion torch and fully direct the flow; aneutronic fusion fits the bill; the thrust numbers they are using are not crazy.

You would use stupid amount of fuel to get that much delta-v; but with advanced reactors using readily available fuel sources…maybe not an issue.

Indeed.

I have the photos backed up off site also. Along with any other important data.

+1 for immich and local hosting.

GrapheneOS on a pixel 8 pro I got second hand a few months back.

Optimistic Nihilism, is quite a good philosophical framework.

But I would recommend a mixture of optimistic nihilism and stoicism.

If nothing has any inherent meaning, the things you chose to be meaningful are as valid as any other choice.

Fair, antecedent is usually referring to a singular event/trigger.

Also 100% on board with GIF ignoring the original authors intent.

That is the “antecedent”,

Antecedent: A preceding occurrence, cause, or event.

It’s not just a metaphor, when people say things like “picture yourself in X”, or “just imagine the audience naked”.

Others can actually see things in their mind.

Which was very quickly followed by, “getting a song stick in your head” means you can actually hear a song over and over in your mind. How annoying.

This seems like some king of super power. I was 40…

You don’t ration Discworld, you reread it every 5 years.

And maybe revisit a favourite or six every other year.
