You can have a computer with multiple users, one prefers gnome, the other kde. Say, they also want to access the computer through cnc, but these are too slow for that, and one prefers windowmaker, the other enlightenment. It works just fine. You can run all these four at the same time.

Just wait until you get to Dexter's lab with the omelette du fromage.

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won't work as it's easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

I strongly disklike any subscription, but having to choose between paying for a high-end gaming rig that I rarely have the opportunity to use and paying 10$ or so for renting a cloud VM instance for the few months I get through a game, I choose the latter. Also, upgrading hardware is somebody else's problem.

I was looking for this comment. It's unfortunate that Julia basically dies in the shadows of python, in some sense it's much more logical, out at least f ing print and division doesn't change between versions

I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.

Have you tried tiny macros with q and @? Syntax highlighting? Z-folds? Or turn vi into a hex editor with :%!xxd ?

If that doesn't work, try :divorce

I miss my E17 and windowmaker, when I had the time to fiddle with config files...

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer's grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

And Afghanistan was not available on that week?

Sure, there are transmitters without Bluetooth. I somehow preferred the SD card, as it would hold a few Gb of music and needed no internet connection. The only downside was if I was driving short trips only for a while, and it stuck with a 20-min long Deep Purple concert track every time :)

I think there was a 99% invisible podcast episode about that, it's prison inmates. For some never-changed rule they are only allowed music on cassettes, so they are probably the target audience mainly.

Just a few years ago I had an old car with a cassette player/radio, and from time to time I enjoyed the cassette player with some leftover stuff, but in most cases I just used an FM transmitter

Yepp, I always wanted to have a login to a porn site verified with my ID and connected to my home address

Ebben Eastern Germany had a better solution: https://vezess2.p3k.hu/app/uploads/2016/07/trabi-700x467.jpg

I happen to rarely read recently published books, so I paid for an ebook a single time. In a series of eight books, each of them had an appendix saying "this file was formatted on purpose for torrenting. The estimated cost of producing the book is roughly 5.27$. If you liked it here's my bank account and my website if you'd like to buy the book on paper".

And a language model, absolutely unsuited for this task, just as much as a lawnmower or a float needle.

Right, but for nonEU trips you have to exit the Schengen zone, which comes with passport control, I have no idea how one can avoid that

Can you elaborate on that? Honestly I'm not very familiar with the guy except the name, and the news articles were obviously mostly positive

So, the thing is we can't really predict CMEs. What we can do is observing them by satellites like SOHO or SDO (actually you can also check these data, check for jHelioViewer). While light indeed needs roughly 8 minutes to travel from the Sun, the ejected plasma is much slower than that, it travels at a comfy pace of 1000km/s or so. So it takes about a day to reach Earth (you can do the precise numbers as a homework or use Wolfram alpha to cheat), so from the observations we have roughly this time to do anything.

One suggestion in the old days was to stick a nail in an apple for a while and then eat it. The apple of course. Without the nail
