  • I was just kind of shocked that their conscription age was so high considering the US draft age ends at their new low end. When I first read the headline I assumed they were going to start drafting 16 year olds.

  • Zelensky signed several laws on mobilization on April 2, one of which lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25, making men eligible for the draft from age 25.

    The current draft age in the USA is 18-25.

  • The actual news release has a bit more information.

    The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.

    So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.

  • Seriously! So many terrible adaptations. It's refreshing to see really good shows based on games. It also doesn't hurt that shows like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout" are based on story driven games so there is already a lot of good story to build off.

  • The first thing I do when I get to my hotel room is fill up the ice bucket. Who likes warm drinks?

  • My house had orange counters, and avocado appliances. It was a sight to behold.

  • This is the exact same thing Digg did when they released 4.0, which caused the huge Reddit migration almost 15 years ago.

  • This is what got me to finally leave Facebook. The amount of times I felt the need to fact check something a friend or family member posted was getting out of hand. Most of the time they'd ignore me or delete my comment.

  • I might have to take up cross stitch so I can frame this quote to put in my kitchen.

  • I bought a Herman Miller chair 12 years ago when I started working from home full time. It was close to $1,000 and I was hesitant to spend that much, but I'm sure I would have gone through at least 3 office chairs by now had I bought cheap ones. This chair will probably still be solid until I retire. Definitely worth the investment.

  • Incorrect, bananas grow from the stem upwards making the stem end, where most people open them, the bottom, OP opens their bananas from the other end.
