Cheers for the explanation. It's come up a few times in things I've watched and read but I never really got a clear explanation. Just some mention about legal technicalities... And it kind of got glossed over from there.

IIRC, both Canada and Australia are still tied to the British monarchy through some technicalities in their independence.

In fairness... Most of the "behind the scenes" are done in metric so we kind of did convert to metric. It's mostly just the public that is imperial still.

He only spiral blurred his face... So they just did it in the opposite direction. It was beyond stupid

The ones that freak out over an acorn are cheaper and easier to brainwash.

This is why they changed their API policy the way they did. They wanted to sell it rather than let bots scrape it for free.

IIRC, this is a big deal because they are achieving more energy out than they put in.

If I've been reading these correctly they are achieving it with tiny amounts of fuel and slowly working up as they achieve success. I'm seeing these as proof of concept and fantastic steps in the right direction.

I know a lot of places in GA where I can get a pack of lucky strikes for about $4...camels come out to just under $6.

Except they still believe that one... They even know what color it is.

It's blue, apparently, and you can protect your home from it by painting your roof blue... Doesn't matter what shade of blue, just so long as it is blue.

True to form... Someone began advertising their blue paint as protection from the laser.

Yeah, it's just nonfood things. The main one that it manifests as is clay.

Pregnant woman are supposed to report cravings like that to their doctor... Apparently it can be a symptom of a serious problem.

Once had the flu with a fever of 106-107(almost 42c)...I was taken to the hospital and the doctor literally threw me into an ice bath... I was crying and he said "I'm sorry but you will be dead soon unless we drop that fever"

I had to continue taking ice baths at home because the fever kept creeping back up to that range. They're not fun...

I have literally told them things I would be happy with... I've been very specific about some things too. For example, I tend to be hard on jeans so anytime gift giving comes up I will tell people that I will be happy with new jeans and specify my size.

I know I tend towards nonmaterialistic and people seem to hate buying practical gifts but that's honestly what I would prefer. I have also said on multiple occasions that if they really can't find anything, I will be extremely happy with a simple bottle of vodka or anything penguin related... Yet somehow I never get useless penguin trinkets.

I always get some useless trinket and the line "you're just so hard to shop for"

Well done steaks are fine as long as they aren't dry... This picture is of a piece of meat most of the way to jerky without anything that makes jerky good.

As a truck driver, I can't help but look at the picture and think... "of course it's US Express in that situation"

That's me as well. I typically don't even start thinking about shorts until the triple digits.

On the other hand... I'm starting to layer up at about 65...

I do also have a higher than normal body temperature. I'm usually hovering around 99.3 and I always have to explain to the doctor that I'm not running a fever that's just my normal temp.

Almost any brand has good products... Just look at the business lines of products. They are much higher quality and usually come with a decent warranty.

If you aren't doing photography prints there are plenty of nice brother color laser printers.

If you are doing photography... I hear good things about the ecotank printers.

Yes, we should be worried about it now.

It will happen and it will be much better if we can figure out how to handle the masses of unemployed before it is a problem.

This attitude of kicking the can down the road is exactly how things turn catastrophic.
