These people could have checked a weather forecast and had a lot of advance warning to GTFO. If you go out to the desert without doing anything to ensure your safety, it is mostly your fault if you get screwed. Same reason it's funny when antivaxxers get measles and when COVID deniers get COVID. Of course it is still sad and the people responsible for spreading those theories should be punished, but it is sort of funny.

Bluetooth devices only broadcast their name when in pairing mode, at other times only the mac address is available. In other words, these are just people's Bluetooth devices like headphones, cellphones, airtags, etc.

I would totally recommend a good precision pencil-style iron. They are somewhat expensive (400$ to 600$), but super nice and easy to use. All the power supply and control electronics is in the base, making the actual iron super light and easy to use, furthermore the hot part is tiny, so it's much easier to avoid touching it when doing fine work. Despite the small size of the hot end, they do very well on large parts, and are able to heat up instantly.

Not only can the creator delete comments, but YouTube itself seems to algorithmicly delete comments, especially longer comments.

Hobby electronics started cheep, with a crappy soldering iron (a good precision one was the best purchase ever) and some cheep parts, ended up with a room stuffed with a thousand dollars worth or parts and a few thousand more in test equipment.

All that really does is guarantee that the professor will catch anyone cheating

Here is the actual paper; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5822451/

No. Conservation of mass and energy only prohibit the total mount of mass and energy changing. The universe could have always existed with that mass and energy. We have good evidence that a lot of mass and energy was spread out by the expansion of a much smaller universe around 13.8 billion years ago, but we don't know what the universe was like before that, it could have always existed, or it could have been formed by the collapse of another universe, we don't know for sure.

Anyway, the laws of physics are just empirical observations, they have been proven wrong before. Einstein's general relativity disagrees with Newton's laws of motion and, further study reveled that Newton was (very subtly under normal conditions) wrong.

I don't know, and no one has any good arguments.

A god is not required to explain anything in the universe, so I just assume a god does not exist.

In the Cristian sense of god, god has no direct effect on the world, making the question meaningless.

It would be the same as believing there is an teapot in orbit between Uranus and Neptune, too small and dark to see with any telescope. I could say it exists, and no one would be able to disprove me, but that doesn't make it real.

Strangely enough, if instead of a teapot (which at least would be possible, if hugly impractical to find) you use an entity that is invisible, intangible, does not do anything else that could allow it to be detected (most omni-gods), then billions believe it.

I have read all of the Linux Kenel documentation, but am not close to reading every manual for every program.

PICK UP THAT CAN. (all caps seems appropriate here)

DO NOT DESTROY VITAL TESTING APPARATUS

WAKE UP AND... SMELL THE ASHES

General discussion of illegal activities is legal, but distributed methods/keys/software to bypass DRM is not. In addition to the poster getting in trouble, the admins of multiple instances could at minimum be forced to delete the content, and at worst get their asses kicked by Nentendo's legal team, and be forced to reveal the identities of the user that posted it.

The Unicode standard just specified a "wheel". A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the 🔫 emoji: Unicode specified it as "Pistol", but depending on your font (and version), it can either appear as a water gun, or a musket or revolver.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), all major vendors have now switched over to a water gun, so no more amusing forum threads cases by the different meanings.

So in addition to the interpretation being unclear, there is also no real standard for emoji.

Sorry, missed that one.

Just tell them.

I just move any duplicate code into a function, no issues yet. (In face, fixing a single bug often ends up fixing multiple problems)
