10 days without food hits differently when you are hiking through mountains 16 hours a day vs sitting on your couch

lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.

It was one of the old, "insert coin, push metal chute in" types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.

The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him "we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper"

The plastic liners in and on tins and cans - referred to as lacquer in the industry - don't impact recycling. When the tins are heated to thousands of degrees for recycling, what is left of the plastic liner, the inks and UV materials; is separated and basically skimmed off, leaving the metal.

For us, probably 1 in 10-15ish say they never signed up. We also have a double opt in, meaning every single one of them opened an email and clicked a link to confirm they wanted to keep getting marketing emails

About 0.2% of people unsubscribe every time we send something out

English is not my native language, and I don't understand what "Have taken up farming."

It means they aren't developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

It's pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It's the best thing on taco bells menu and they don't even have it state-side)

That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

She has north of 3m in sponsorship deals right now, and we can only assume that number will go up in the WNBA

scientific research papers

When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead

If male tears were the only control, then they run the risk of not finding any result. If you have 3 groups, you need a substantially larger sample size because you are running a less powerful statistical test.

Easier to start with the test that's most likely to work, and narrow it down from there if you succeed

US Army used to spend $38,000 per controller until they found out Xbox controllers were better

Abolishing the monarchy would involve rewriting the constitution - if that was happening every province would want to slip in their own terms - Quebec would want specific French language rights and autonomy and if Quebec got their way Alberta would want something similar. We successfully altered the constitution back in 1982 - it took 2 years and the country almost blew up over it.

Basically it would be a total shit show. Considering the impact the monarchy has on our day to day life (basically zero) it's easier to just let sleeping dogs lie

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It's like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

They would have to get in touch to figure out how to pay 1% either way, no?

A couple of them fall into the "technically true, but misleading territory" - I'm sure the person handing this out couldn't identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

"Can you reverse effects" - no you can't make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

"Risk of [...] or other side effects?" - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

"Have there been deaths?" - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting "mRNA vaccines cause blood clots" nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

"Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it" - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

Every time there is a transaction the sender's funds are mixed together with a bunch of other senders, and the recipients receive their money from this random pool, so there is no direct association between sender/receiver

You are probably better off setting up a non-profit and running traditional license fees through it into your payment union then. I can't emphasize how much of a non-starter 1% of revenues is for any business (it's my company's entire IT budget, including salary) - you are basically just saying "personal use only" with more words.

It's really not that complicated. At a high level:

• $5/mo for having the service turned on
• $5/mo for every TB storage above and beyond the first 1TB
• $1 for every TB of data transfer beyond the first 1TB in a month

And then divide those numbers because it's actually billed by the hour

It's unavoidable - once the cheese gets hot enough the steam will either force the liquid cheese out of existing holes, or it will make its own holes.

Make sure they are fresh out of the freezer when you put them in, as this lets the outside crisp up more before the inside becomes lava. Once you get close to the prescribed cooking time, you need to just sit in front of the oven door and watch them, and as soon as 2-3 break open, take the whole tray out

1% is an exorbitant amount of money, and more than most businesses would be able to donate via credit card, so they would still have to reach out to repository owners for banking info

Actually, I‘m just excluding companies like yours because they are making way too much revenue on the basis of FOSS without giving back

You don't know anything about my company? You don't know what proportion of FOSS vs proprietary software we use, nor how much we give back lol.

It would completely break the locked down proprietary software model and break walled gardens wide open.

This is very pie in the sky. Your license idea only penalizes small to medium sized businesses. Alphabet's 1% would just go to Chromium/AOSP, and Meta's 1% would just go to React/Torch

Does Google Cloud not count as “own hardware” for google?

That's why the bars are so different. The "cloud" price is MSRP

Very much 4

We wanted to get an engineer to audit something we set up, talking like 1 hour phone call, maybe 1 hour of work beyond that if something needed to be adjusted

We wasted like 4 hours on the line with different agencies (talking to sales people) who wanted to connect us with a DIFFERENT agency to do the actual work, who wanted us to sign a 3 year service contract.

Like no, "please just let us talk to one of your senior engineers and bill us $500/hr for his time"

This only affects people running Intel/amd chips pre 2008-2011

The last version of win11 supporting these processors is EOL in 2025. Windows 10 is also EOL in 2025

Most distros have a checkbox during the installer that will add non-free components. It's a separate EULA you need to agree to so they can't do it for you.

You may not care, but the distro provider's legal team absolutely cares about not getting sued for automatically bundling components with an incompatible license agreement

This is so every app can only read it's own subfolder. Unless you think it's better that advertisers and app developers can have access to 100% of your personal files

Yeah but then ALL even numbers would be slow to compute because you would have to chain through every odd before you know that 2 is even.

Depends on the expected distribution of input values

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

They aren't talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

64 bit computers exist

Multimedia codecs have a different license agreement than the OS so they aren't bundled by default for a reason

Especially because a 15% tip is almost twice as good as it was 10 years ago due to rising food costs

Tesla still sells nearly 10x the number of EVs (BEVs) to the next most popular brand (globally).

Tesla only sold 4% more EVs than BYD last quarter

Too bad it still can't figure out how to do dead ass simple things the old assistant had no problem with, like setting a reminder or alarm

GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)

Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn't want to backport it into its LTS repositories

This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms.

There is nothing this thing can do that a dedicated hobbyist couldn't replicate with parts bought off the shelf at a RadioShack, so where does the line get drawn

Read the 2nd sentence of the article. They are talking about 120gb CoD patches

To be fair, your arguments basically boil down to "show me equivalent Linux support for Microsoft products"

You could make all the same arguments and conclude Macs are less suitable for doing work than windows, yet there are tons of professionals using MacBooks who get by just fine. If you don't need to be fully ingrained in the Microsoft ecosystem you don't NEED to be on windows.
