What does not work

capitalism (IRL; I wouldn't want to try implementing it here)

I actually lol'd

And I gotta ask, what insanity drives someone to implement a minecraft server in bash...?

Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it's fair.

As someone who comes from a country where we do require photo ID for voting, not requiring one feels absurd, so I asked the same question. Apparently in the US, there is a part of the population that doesn't normally get photo ID and that part is mostly poor people and minorities and photo ID laws are used as means of disenfranchisement, similar to having the voting days during business days (when many people can't come to vote) or having voting stations far away in an area with limited public transport options.

Where I live in Finland, the police will actually grant you a temporary photo ID only for voting if you don't have one, although most people have passports. There are early voting stations in basically every post office for a week and the main voting day is always on a Sunday. No excuse to miss voting.

I've only missed one voting during my life, at a time when I was living in another country and there was no consulate in the part of the country I was in. Nowadays there's also the option of mail-in voting when outside the country, I don't know if it wasn't a thing back then or I just didn't know.

That's not to say I didn't want some improvements in our system: I'd like to see ranked choice voting or something similar here, there are some smaller parties I've been voting and it seems they seldom have a chance.

I feel like there are some missed opportunities

  • Sensors that don't work because a proprietary driver is missing
  • Having to add repositories to get wifi working
  • Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
  • More tool windows
  • More xorg.conf to get displays working
  • A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
  • 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
  • Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

Technically yes, but in practice the goal is to make the practical arrangements implementing of Article 5 security quarantees possible. There is not much use of NATO support, if alliance forces can't operate in Finland in a practical way.

I am sure there are new operational agreements of similar nature will be made between Finland and Sweden as well as Finland and Estonia. That said, there is already a significant degree of defence cooperation between Finland and Sweden.

Finland is also already part of the british led JEF, and I would be surprised if the Nato framework would not change the nature of that cooperation.

There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth.

To what extent..?

You should all go file a complaint with a data protection agency.

The thread in the linked social network suggests concentrating the complaints to the Irish DPC: https://forms.dataprotection.ie/contact

I think the intent here is to make sure army vets understand voting for the trumpet is not in their best interest.

My grandfather's cat used to play goalie. She would guard some area, like a doorway and expect us to tty to toss a ball or something through. She'd then catch it and return the ball to us for more.

Lithium batteries are happiest between 20 and 80% state of charge. You should not store them outside of that range. Charging a little often also doesn't hurt your battery like many seem to believe.

Charging while cold is bad, but storing in cold is good.

Also, NiMh and NiCd batteries are different tha Lithium based ones. Check what type of battery you have. Phones and EVs are almost always lithium though.

That... Actually covers it. Yea.

Hey! Usually our summers have relatively little snow!

Amazing. I'm not OP and have no use for this info, but it was fun to learn it still.

That is what they are saying which is pretty disingenuous. The entire point of the law is to target multinationals which cannot be reined in by national legislation.

Boo hoo, the poor tiny Amazon doesn't want to take responsibility.

Yea, fof models X and S, they have a discrete GPU and can run steam.

I kind of want to know what it does... Is it like a rumble pack for your ass? And is it intended to improve the gaming experience or is the game supposed to improve sex?

Although not something I could see myself doing, I don't judge. People can be too busy for dating, out of practice, too awkward or just wanting to cross off something off their bucket list. At the very least it ain't my business.

Bees... Do both?

I have been lucky, no ads, no message. Probably my region gets the updates so late uBlock has already compensated.

Loric is what Mark Zuckerberg emanates.

I agree with the problem, but I also kind of agree with the judge. The point of separation of powers is that the judicial system interprets the will of the legislative. We have had similar cases in Finland , where the law clearly should say one thing and the courts conclude that the law in fact says another thing. Fortunately, this situation occasionally leads the parliament into saying 'well fuck' and changing the law.

I will admit I don't really understand the role of courts making law in the US and other common law countries, so it might be different there.

Sex and drugs are already very easy to get if you are rich.

Population growth on the other hand is an almost mandatory cornerstone of capitalism. And abortions too, will remain legal for the rich.

I would ve against using this weapon, if the Russians had not already used them extensively. Clearing out all of the unexploded ones is going to take decades...

Still, glad to see the political will to support Ukraine is still there!

Many wrong answers here. Most devices have what's called a power path. When a device is powered via a cable and the battery is full, the device battery is bypassed and the electronics powered via the charging port directly.

There are always losses in both charging and discharging a battery. Discharging the power bank first and the SD battery second avoids the charging loss from the SD battery.

You should avoid keeping either battery at sub 20% state-of-charge for long periods, if possible.

It also goes away quickly when not addicted.

I don't get it, isn't this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you're more likely to see the widths defined in px.

I mean, killing someone isn't going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that's why it's obvious.

This is really well made, kudos!

I have engineered a solution for exactly this, believe it or not.

The shower system consists of carbon doped ferrous material coated with a zinc passivation agent. There is a flow control subsystem made of a Cu-Zn alloy which also causes aerosolization of the hydrogen-oxygen payload. The hydrogen-oxygen mixture is pre-processed in a large volume nitrogen container, and precipitated down to the shower system using a combination of thermal effects and manipulation of ambient pressure.

Works really well, only limitation is the amount of precipitate available.

In other words, it's a metal rain bucket with a faucet.

I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.

As a 10+ year GIMP user, yes it's that bad.

I still use it because it's the only relatively full featured photo editor that works on all my platforms, but... Yea.

The point is not to ban smoking, but to make it less appealing. This has worked extremely well in Finland, combined with education about the risks.

I think you're on to something.

I studied in a university which also had a famous art department. I tried taking courses on the art programme's aide, but they didn't take me - all courses required the 10 month basic arts studies to participate.

I think some mingling would benefit both the artists and the techies. Steve Jobs famously studied calligraphy, and later made apple the mainstay of digital art, so it can be profitable too.

So after spending a fair amount of money on a device with forced obsolescence, I get to give more money to this company, yay!

I kind of understand that they can't offer the cloud service forever - that's OK, but I'd like there to be a local option then

I feel like there's a simple solution: Government issues free photo IDs to everyone, you need to pay for it if you destroy/lose it while it's still valid.

To an extent, it is also beneficial in today's society. Hyperfocus and fast context switching can be assets in some jobs, if the downsides are not too great and that can depend on the job and colleagues a lot.

But yea, I can imagine it has been more of an asset in a different time.

I have found Linux to have excellent HW support for all older hardware. Only notable exception is fingerprint readers. Granted, it's been years since I tried gaming.

EV driver working in automotive industry here. Based in N Europe, so take my words with a pinch of salt for other geos.

If you can charge at home, don't regularly drive very long distances and are OK with a smaller boot space EVs are a complete no-brainer.

If not all of these are true, the convenience depends a lot on where you live. In Northern Europe, UK and northern parts of Central Europe public charging networks are pretty good although Norway is starting to see queuing to be a thing.

In the US the only good charging network is Tesla's, which means only NACS cars can charge there - EU regulator has done a good job here standardising to CCS2.

Living with an EV does require some changes in behavior. You need to think about tomorrow's needs today to have the right SOC for the next long trip or choose your shopping and dining options to facilitate charging. For me, this is perfectly OK and the pleasure of driving an EV more than compensates for the mild inconvenience. That said, the amount of inconvenience is dependent on the first three factors and the country you live in.

When choosing your car, remember that you can't normally use the top and bottom 20% of your battery (depending a bit on the chemistry), which is reflected in day-to-day range.

Feel free to ask anything related to EVs, batteries, chargers or charging networks.
