There are enough bones in the human body to build an entire skeleton.

Earth's circumference is 40 Mm. 1 AU is 14 Gm. I could get used to this.

Just get one of those handy cupholders that come free with lots of electronics:

They also work for quick thawing.

We are in a new phase and what you call stagnation is actually the maturity and stability of the internet that is spawning new services at the moment. For example:

Logistics are coming online. Loading lists, import/export paperwork, scheduling your truck unloading time from your smartphone. Lots of saas startups in that area.

Factories are coming online. Scheduling production across factories/countries on a single product level is still sci-fi, but they are working on it.

Trades are coming online. Billing software, planning, documentation. Each sector has their own ways to get accelerated and now they see value in it.

Plenty of stuff that was happening in excel sheets is replaced with a tailored web services which are content aware and allow live data entry/analysis from multiple end points.

There is so much work to be done. Universal availability and reliability of data centers, mobile networks, fibre connections were the backbone neccessary to build the next generation of services. They are in the making.

Athlon64 days!

I retaliate with the knight card from Catan and place the robber on your deck of cards so you can't access your "resources" until you roll a 7.

I foresee tagchaos with multilingual instances. It would be great if identical but translated popular tags could be LUTted together such that a 'technology' tag also gives 'technologie' results if the user sets their preferred language tag settings accordingly. The tagger also needs to be stopped from using both.

The left edge of this picture is 1 pixel thinner than the right edge. Madness. How dare you.

Gauß is my favourite prophet. Maxwell is cool, too.

Nice! Thanks.

The puppeteer can make you cut your own ties at any time and leave you in a ditch 'cause you were kept a dependent weakling. The author is accidentally promoting self reliance, because that interpretation is not allowed to him or his public. Stupid comics.

Their you go!

250 rolls is really low for a d20 test, not enough to spread out the randomness over all surfaces. 1000 is also on the low side, but has more chance to indicate a bias.

I'm impressed they could get their momentum going for so long, they were able to burn so much money and only now are investors pulling out? That was a serious hype train! Even if it was meant as lobby sponsoring against standard high speed rail, holy cow what a waste!

In how much detail did you describe this to the AI to make it happen?

4 segment rail bus says CHOO CHOO I'm the real thing.

If you put wireless chargers in your usual phone drop spots, you never have to think about charging again. A different habit takes care of it. That's the appeal. I prefer a 2m charging cable to charge while using my phone, but my drop zone is in my pocket, so not appealing for me either 🤷‍♂️

Gifted people can show adhd like symptoms, meds don't work and the only treatment is to change your surroundings.

General shortlist to wellbeing of humans:

Basic needs: Eat, drink, sleep.

Secondary needs: Sunlight, movement, social contacts.

Beyond that: Recognition, intimacy, connection...

If the first two layers go wrong, you already feel like shit because of that. Its additive, the more you can't fullfill, the worse you feel, and whatever other troubles you may have, add on top.

That is easy in software only, in hardware you would neglect economy of scale. It is more likely it gets sold as an innovation in some form to safe money and face.

Consumed his virginity

Yeah, listening to a monologue about a topic you have zero comprehension for is no great conversation. Conversation partners who are unable to read your boredom and keep rambling until you set boundaries and beyond are the worst.

Lmao, as if oppression knocks on your door. Guns are for poor people, get a lawyer.

I think this is one step further, that technology has become so abstract and complex that people who focus on different crafts and careers are using magical black boxes. It blows my mind how my neighbour goes through life without any concept of what a phone app is. He just uses functionality and memorized the associated logo. I'm an engineering wizard to him.

According to your logs when installing the kernel, your nvme modules are nowhere to be found, and basic system tools are unavailable. Your core system seems severely borked... can you do a memtest (broken ram can corrupt your storage and your attemps at finding the problem) and check your smartctl --all of that ssd?

You don't need to. If you look at the relative performance table, you can get a feeling for a cheaper upgrade path (if you need it): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-ti.c2877

LMAO but it lacks the energy drink and is a lot more expensive 😣

I love how it works, I hate how careless they handle user data. I don't trust kdewallet because it forgot my wifi passwords multiple times, suddenly demanded a password for a passwordless wallet, or lost the wallet alltogether. I lost tons of old emails when kmail switched to akonadi storage instead of plain mail folders. And why did they change my desktop background after an update? Can't they just respect my settings and stuff a little bit -.-

This happened to me when my language settings weren't set. You can't even access them in jerboa, log in with a browser and check if English is selected besides default. And whatever else you wish to see.

If you let it, it's a hamlet.

Haha, noob. My distro is the best distro and everybody should be using it because nobody has a different use case and expectation anyway. My terminal skills are unrivalled, your mouse is blocking your progress to true productive greatness. My automated installation runs faster than you can download your proprietary drivers. I use imagemagick instead of gimp for its speed and user friendliness. Vim is the only editor you ever need. Do you even internet without your own email server? I rather install rpm's on arch than use flatpack.

The Andromeda galaxy is ~23.6 Zm away. The metric system reaches far.

The QWERTY keyboard layout, developed for typewriters in the 1870s, remains the de facto standard for English-language computer keyboards.
