Check out the new Corvette.

What I’ve done in this scenario is use a very long silent black video from YouTube. There’s a bunch. It technically plays audio, so the soundbar shouldn’t sleep, but the audio is just a silent signal.

Warmbo is actually his bodyguard, and the corn cream is actually antidote.

Cody & Ko! Noooo! Watch out!!

And a partridge in a pear tree!

The top level comment was also talking about the law, incorrectly.

Because the Android SDK is owned and controlled by Google. They’ve consistently made decisions to make it harder to stay out of their ecosystem (like the new “Integrity” API).

As consumers, we would vastly benefit from having another choice that isn’t controlled by one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

I like how their idea of entry level is a 16GB RAM phone for €890.

Honestly, it’s better than when people say I need to “just concentrate more”.

Yeah, fair enough. That’s a great point. I will update my opinion of this advancement.

The catch is that it’s useless in most plastics applications, where you really don’t want it to dissolve easily. Probably more catches, but that’s the one I see right away.

You see the thing is, the point of plastic is that it doesn’t dissolve easily. I can see this having some niche applications, but this won’t be replacing most plastics any time soon.

The most successful handheld gaming PC in history (admittedly, only if you don’t include consoles like the Switch), and still can’t get no respect.

That answer depends on your ISP. It probably goes to a distribution box for your street, which connects up to a distribution box for your neighborhood, which connects up to your ISP, probably through many more distribution boxes.

At a certain point (probably the first or second distribution box), the signal goes from coax cable to fiber.

There are tons of different kinds of distribution boxes, routers, cables, technologies, etc for these networks, so what yours looks like is unknowable to any of us. Here are some examples of neighborhood or street level boxes:

Fiber:

DSL (landline phone lines) in a fiber junction box:

And then the higher level stuff would look something like this (I’ve never actually seen it, so this is just my guess of what it probably looks like, taken from a fiber supply company):

If you want to get a very basic understanding of some of the infrastructure between you and something on the internet, you can use traceroute. When I just did traceroute google.com, it took five hops just to leave my ISP, so that gives me a very basic understanding of how many levels my ISP has before my traffic gets out to the web.

They’re super small, so either behind the ears or obscured by the fur.

Here’s a picture of one from a different angle. You can see how small the eyes are.

I thought they were exclusive fruit eaters.

Hello, I am a mammalian predator known as the Papillose woolly bat.

Cue, to actually answer your question.

notices bulge what’s this?
