Isn’t that a Boox? eInk, stylus, android, can buy direct.

The Administration knows there is no solution to this conflict. It also knows there is no state-side position which is politically expedient.

I’m going to say this as loud as I can. There will be no winners in this conflict. Ever. For anyone, involved or on the sidelines.

This memo is confirmation that the US administration knows there is no solution and doesn’t want anyone to say anything because no matter what they say it will make things worse. This is a tacit admission that there is nothing anyone outside can do. It’s like trying to extinguish a lithium battery fire - the stored energy will continue to be exothermic until it’s expended and any attempt to tamp it down is likely to make things worse.

It’s a shitty position were in, but this isn’t some Hollywood script where you can just write a happy ending. There is no happy ending.

When I worked in an office I’d head out to my car and lay the seat back for 15 minutes of shuteye.

The rule needs to be changed. Because it is just a rule. Or just call the senate into session, lock the doors, and start the process of manual confirmation without break until there are few enough republicans in the room to change the rule or they finish. I understand it would only take something like 2000 hours. Let them sit in session, continuously, until it’s done. The Ds just don’t have the balls to do it.

Somewhat ironic that the source material of the bulk of this "bust" is from a work that's IP is in the public domain.

That's how I run mine, though I think I may have a 10 or 11 series i3. It idles just under 30W, which isn't too bad, and - though I don't have lots of users - never breaks 40, even during 4k transcodes, thanks to quicksync.

Indeed. There are too many humans by at least one order of magnitude. The only reason we need population growth is to perpetuate the capitalistic ponzi scheme government and corporations are running.

you cannot allow (a) free users (b) who can upload content

Remind us again how you are building something like Lemmy, which allows free users to upload content?

All indications point to Apple restricting background timeslices for programs to reduce available compute cycles. Keeping modern chips at top speed for processing in bursts and then sleeping is actually more power efficient than throttling and allowing continuous calculation ( https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/race-to-sleep ) At nominal TDP, the A17 will drain an iPhone 15 battery from 100% to 0% in under 3-4 hours, even with the radios and screen off. The only way it can usefully function is to be in sleep mode most of the time and some processes were getting more time slices than would allow that.

"Hey you haven't used these things in 30 years" is the perfect excuse when cleaning out the attic. I kept my dice, though; cold, dead hands and all that.

I suppose they're just not interesting enough to be considered coffee table books. I mean, I haven't looked at my (signed) Michael Whelan book in years, but that's not going anywhere. Ever. My wife got me that for my birthday one year - she does have her brilliant moments.

Of course, last year my daughter discovered RPG in college. sigh

Almost better off with tmobiles 5G

Yeah...except we're 5 miles from the closest interstate, so T-mo home service puts us in the "Lite" option. If you've never looked, the "Lite" option is not "Lite" because it's cheaper - they charge you the same (more if you're a Magenta/MegentaMax subscriber) and cap you at 50GB. LOL Someday I'll move and get better internet. :-/

The worst thing is that my only other choice is ADSL at 7M/768k. I live a mile from a university with two 500Gb primary connections and regularly tops 10Gb net throughout on a daily basis.

I have xshitty 200/15 service at my house and share my server with my parents and sister, plus a have a Roku stick I take on travel. I set them up for 720/2Mbps or 3mbps remote view quality and have yet to encounter any issues. I have everything for a few old school 480 rips up to 4k. Everything except local feeds gets transcoded with quicsync.

sigh

I let my wife convince me to get rid off all my books about 5 years ago. Players handbook, DM guide, monster manual, Dieties and demigods. Hopefully someone found them and put them to good use.

The thin glass substrates do add some rigidity, but the more rigid a frame the less stress is borne by the glass under impact. I would not be surprised to find the frame is mostly Al. It’s light, and strong - common, properly tempered alloys are as strong (yield, not ult) or stronger than stainless. Of course the 1/3 density comes with just 1/3 stiffness. No free lunches.

Steel ( including stainless) is up to twice as stiff as titanium - meaning it flexes half as much under load for the same thickness/shape. It’s also almost twice as heavy. To get a rigid material that is also lightweight, you need to look at exotic alloys like beryllium-aluminum, but the trade off I’d often poor toughness (fracture resistance) and difficult manufacture.

I say that the budget reduction goal gets divided by 535 and each member of congress has to cut that much from their own district. If they miss their number, the amount short is removed from their congressional office staff budget. If that’s not sufficient, a randomly selected member from the opposite party gets to make the remainder of cuts from that district. DC, PR, and territories don’t require cuts because they have no representation.

Unless it's a hardware failure causing spurious emission, it just means that transmit power has been reduced in software. Practically, this will reduce the range at which you can communicate to the cell tower. The cell tower reception should remain nominally the the same strength and the same speed, but you will have a reduce range for towers to which you can reliably connect (i.e. dropped connections) because you can't tell the tower you're listening. Also, your upload throughput will be lower at a given distance from the tower as your distance from the tower increases beyond a (now smaller) full-connection-strength radius.

These don't seem to be "solutions" in the sense of the conic section solutions to the 2 body interaction, but rather independent solutions found numerically. It's not even mentioned whether the "solutions" have a workable closed form equation, or if it's simply a series (Fourier-like) solution with a finite or non-finite number of terms with unique coefficients based on the initial conditions.

That's not to say it isn't interesting in its own right (periodic conditions within a 3 body system), but it's not really a solution in the classical sense.

Remember the potential of Epcot? Like that, but with ridiculously cool science stuff you can play with and none of that international shit where Becky goes to get day-drunk.
