Honestly it’s a great publicity stunt. Not like people would give a fuck about toys r us otherwise.

What if you slice him in half length-wise?

And Mozilla is largely funded by Google. We all just hope they don’t pull the rug from them but I have no faith that our inept, slow government would stop that from happening before it’s too late.

Teddy Roosevelt, the beach hiking thing

Just let it fucking sink

Or run your own DNS with Unbound. Just takes a raspberry pi and/or other cheap low power PC.

Not sure you follow: even if the primary frequency is out of range, a harmonic (half the frequency, quarter the frequency, etc) can simultaneously exist with the primary.

I’ll defend this guy: there can easily be a harmonic at half the flyback frequency that is audible. It’s lower amplitude so less loud, but I could believe someone being able to hear that.

Oh I definitely still do plenty of that, I’m doing my job after all.

I Remote Desktop from my personal computer into my work computer. All personal stuff happens on the personal computer, the work computer is work stuff only. There is no way for my work to know I am “goofing off” while working.

I wish they had just continued the TV series instead, at least that one was original.

Stereolab. French avant-pop band, really pleasant to listen to when driving and working.

My only other thought besides destroying it: maybe gift it to a theater so it can be used as a prop? There are plays that focus on nazis/neo-nazis (e.g. The Producers) so maybe they could get some use out of it?

I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point

“Testing, testing 123…”

There’s a few things that are iOS device specific (like FaceTime) so I can see legit reasons to keep the different colors, if that’s what everyone is used to. Not that video calling should be a random proprietary tech, but that’s another battle…

Prolly their confusion is that Macron called for new elections, but unlike some parliamentary governments Macron isn’t selected by parliament.

I’m gonna offer some contrary evidence: I have a Samsung from 2013 that’s still working perfectly. It did have an issue with the icemaker seizing up, but they have a program where they send a tech out to repair it for free, which I took advantage of. The newer appliances can last a long time in some cases.

There’s also many old fridges that did die, including multiple of mine growing up in the 80s. You just see the ones that happened to survive.

A study I had read suggested that if you have a reasonable gas car already (e.g. sedan not a gas guzzler), the impact of driving your gas car on the environment is equal to the production of a new EV if you drive the gas car 50k miles or less in its remaining lifetime. My secondary car barely gets driven a few thousand miles a year, so it is better for the environment to just keep it running than swapping it out for an EV.
