  • Fact: the most often lost socket is a 10mm.

  • Just an accidental brake malfunction. A Mac and Me moment.

  • It's possible we'd be in a better situation now. Lots of obvious things like not tossing out known facts about terrorism efforts and having a climate change awareness leadership. There's much that would still be the same, like the system of consumerism that is the core of much of our problems. One person in a limited power seat can't fix that, I'm not sure anything can outside of failure of the system itself. But I do think we would have at least avoided that one historic turning point that revved back up the military drive of the US. Even GWB's administration was looking into ways of reducing the military into smaller, more mobile parts until suddenly we went into revenge mode. Or useful crisis mode.

  • WinME was that OS I ripped off a brand new laptop and replaced with 98SE so it would function correctly. When it crashes and hangs right out of the box...

  • Be sure to not have throwable things around you if you haven't heard about this before. Especially the amount of money that was being reported missing right before 9-11-2000, and suddenly was never brought up again.

  • Close enough, it's not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It's possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn't get the loner. It's like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.

  • Right. Use this as moving the line to the next step. If this much help is palatable to the ones who typically object to doing things for those in need, then maybe chipping away at something else will be too. It's better than trying to help most everyone and getting shot down.

    And it totally sucks that we live in a world where we have to play that kind of game to get anything.

  • The 6 foot distancing that wasn't really ever followed well was a compromise to keep things open for the economy while pretending we're doing something. What amazes me is how there wasn't any mandate to require air filtration at key points in places with crowds - like a Corsi-Rosenthal box, the DIY stores could have had these in the front with a how-to-build and they would have made tons of profit while supplies lasted. I guess 6-foot stickers and signage was easier and cheaper. Remember when some stores tried to go further and enforce one way aisles?

  • Genetics can be messy. Just organic chemistry in general is a complex subject.

  • That the shadows are correct is impressive.

  • It was coined as meaning other people, but words evolve to mean things by their usage over time, and I'm sure carrying it over to other living things is applicable.

    I don't think sonder is the word you were asking about, because the awareness that sonder refers to is only a piece of the whole complexity of reality. As an example, take this video by Epic Spaceman to help show the scale of the galaxy. It's not sonder, but has that same sense of opening your mind beyond your normal comprehension for a bit.

  • And the new President doesn't necessarily have to pick a VP, it's just expected to fill the vacancy.

  • Well, it would be pretty suspicious given he's the world's healthiest man. /s

  • That's some serious ice layers if it not only derails a train but supports its weight over to the road.

  • I mean hopefully, but working in shipping and seeing the lack of volume in things outside of necessities, I'm concerned.

  • New creations from existing training data from an actor should have some type of royalties involved. The complication with that is the AI tools are largely a black box and it can be murky on where things come from.

  • I wonder if they had gone with an instrumental version instead it would have been accepted much better. The visuals are totally Star Trek and exploration/innovation. Not exactly classical music, but it was having lyrics/established song from a popular singer that hit the wrong way. Ironic that the TOS theme had lyrics as well, although I don't think any episode that I recall ever played that version.

  • A court stealing an election? That's crazy.

    2000 election year laughs.

  • Rules are rules

  • The good old days when you had just two choices and were either in the Riva TNT or the Voodoo club for a graphics card.
