In a nuclear war loads of people wouldn’t die but would love unhappily ever after.

I think it’d be hard to get into the mood at all tbh.

Not who you were replying to, but thanks for this. I’m hoping to give Linux a go this year, on an old laptop that isn’t needed anymore, and this makes me feel more confident about it!

They only run Miaowcrosoft products.

Is your friend related to the person in this song?

Purple and red and yellow and on fire…

If they made history, then they are historic, not historical. Well, they’re historical too, to be fair.

If that was genuinely a typo, it’s brilliant!

Chicago is in Illinois, whose 2 letter code is IL 😁

Cool - hope you enjoy it 😁

This doesn’t answer your question at all, but if you’re interested in undersea cables, you may enjoy Jon Bois’ brilliant and bizarre history of the telegraph, and especially the 3rd and 4th parts (although it’s all very worth watching).

A degree of familiarity with 90s sitcom Home Improvement would also be helpful, though not essential.

One of them calls me Betty.

I don’t use Instagram, but I found this with some pics of some 3120s

And here’s another thing about them: https://www.aliexpress.com/p/wiki/article.html?keywords=3120-skate-shoes

And someone in 2005 who was looking for them but thinks the company disappeared

Not sure about the magazine though, sorry.

I saw Stephen Fry suggest once that it be pronounced “Wuh Wuh Wuh” which I kind of like :-)

I think OP was saying the opposite. They use(d) the N to avoid Netflix originals. Which may also be an answer as to why they have (apparently) removed it.

Seems better to me though, the N was annoying, and there have been some very good Netflix originals, so it’d be a shame if people refused to even consider them on that basis alone.

As long as you are not in major target city … you will be fine.

That seems pretty complacent tbh.

First of all even just the top 30 cities in the US are home to about 41 million people. Which seems a lot of folk to simply write off.

Also, the destruction of the major cities would cause huge/complete economic, social, infrastructural and legal collapse for the rest of the country.

Plus, even for those outside the immediate blast radius, there’d be the massive environmental impact of pollution to land and water, not least the potential for a nuclear winter killing off crops, and then animals.

Turns out my house was outside the blast radius if the base was nuked.

Without knowing the size of the bomb, how could you know you would be outside it? Not that blast radius is all that matters anyway.

Come, friendly nukes…

It’s not at all uncommon for major cities to be on or near bodies of water, eg London, LA, NYC, Sydney, Tokyo, Rio, etc. It’s a facilitator to (and outcome of) trade/travel and also can be a source of food and water (for cities on rivers/lakes, obviously).

And it’s also not uncommon for major cities to become capital cities.

Not really surprising that as a country with one coastline, they have their capital so close to the sea.

The majority of phone reviewers (and modern tech reviewers in general) get their review units for free so they lack that feeling and awareness that comes with spending $1000+ of their own money on a new device.

Agreed, but if I ever spent a 1000 bucks on any product, I’d expect it to be able to sit in a usable position without wobbling.

I’m glad they’re highlighting this - the more the better until phone design is improved to eliminate such a stupid flaw.

It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.

In the way that this supreme power would exist, there is no way for us to quantify it.

So, dark matter, then?

Yeah, but Shrek’s Scottish accent is horrible.
