FYI might want to rethink your choice of punctuation for your edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

I had a similar issue recently on Garuda, and what fixed it for me was going into the BIOS and enabling Resizable BAR.

Just picked this up based on the up votes here, and I'm already a fan. Seems like it does what you want and nothing else, which is perfect.

Sure but given that their previous language explicitly mentions Google why remove that unless they're trying to make people think that maybe they didn't use Google. It's a shady change, from a company whose CEO is already doing somewhat unhinged things.

The issue is that they're using it but no longer being explicit about that use.

Speaking of D&D Patreons, Conflux Creatures creates more interesting versions of thousands of monsters; using those had really spiced up my game, since the players have no Idea how combats are going to go any more.

Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I'd had his experience.

Obsidian is fantastic. I use it for work and also for personal stuff like planning TTRPG sessions. Especially with the plugins that are out there, it's super powerful. Getting into using metadata tags and the Dataview plugin it becomes a pretty amazing knowledge engine.

I'd encourage you to check out SyncThing; it works great for syncing pretty much anything: I use it for my Obsidian notes and for my KeePass vault.

Interesting, thanks! I've only vaguely followed crypto stuff, so not really too familiar with how it gets used day-to-day

Gotcha, thanks! So you can just swap Monero for Bitcoin without going through KYC stuff?

How do you use a public ledger for privacy? Are you just using Monero or something?

Haven't read Egan or Rucker, so I can't speak to them. Vinge had amazing ideas that still pop into my head from time to time, but I couldn't get into his writing style; he never really pulled me in, despite how much I wanted to bet pulled in.

As many others have said, "pile" is not about number: it's about distribution. I'd suggest trying to specify the overall slope of a number of objects or something: if it rises at a certain rate it becomes a pile rather than a layer, up until it becomes a tower. Or something like that.

Having that kind of tracking for other ships is actually something I remember from twenty years ago or so: it was called AIS, and you could use it to very easily tell if you were going to get close to another ship with it; pretty much all the big ships had it at the time. It was particularly nice because it would tell you the name of The ship, which made it a lot more likely that you could raise them in the radio.

One interesting note is that steering will actually change when you lost engine power even if the rudder remains in place (which I believe it does) because the propellers are no longer driving the water across the rudder, which lessens its effect..

The effects of wind and current are another factor to consider, especially closer to shore. I'm sure it's possible to model the course of a vessel, but it's a big and constantly changing problem.
