This is my favorite part of the article:

Söhnlein said the Titan passengers' deaths shouldn't stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.

"Forget OceanGate. Forget Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity could be on the verge of a big breakthrough and not take advantage of it because we, as a species, are gonna get shut down and pushed back into the status quo," he said.

Those two sentences really highlight how crazy this guy is.

It would be nearly impossible to mine ore from the surface. We don't have the technology to keep something functional on the surface for more than a few minutes before it melts. A planet where you can't access/visit the surface doesn't seem like a good planet for humans to live.

I read somewhere that there was a general Lemmy bug with Hot and/or Active not refreshing without a server reset. I've heard people say that Best 6 or 12 hours is the best for now.

I lost track, but I assumed this was already part of the mishandled documents case. We've heard so much about this recording already, I didn't realize that he hadn't already been charged for this.

Agreed. But the owner of the building would presumably be able to control modifications of his own building.

But unfortunately not stupid enough to actually testify.

There's no way he would testify in any court proceeding where he doesn't have to. This is just public bluster like always. It seems like the only good advice he takes from his lawyers is to avoid testifying to anything under oath.

You can blow out a candle

but you can't blow out a fire.

Once the flames begin to catch

the wind will blow it higher.

.... And the eyes of the world are watching now.

They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn't take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that "the wind would blow the flames higher".

Do you know if there are any formats that provide for native looping like gif? I find that feature useful for some standalone files.

I'm curious why they haven't been kicked out after not paying rent for so long. Why does the owner allow him to stay rent free?

Also possibly becathe doesn't own the building and needs approval of the owner.

In a trial, the prosecution goes first and presents their full case. Then the defense gets their turn to refute anything presented by the prosecution. Even if he pleads the 5th, his lawyers will do their best to refute any presented earlier by the prosecution.

I ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc

Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.

Was the chief justice of the district court involved with the overruling that occured with her previous decision? The language in the ruling seemed pretty harsh towards her, but I'm not clear if the opinions of higher courts have any affect on her career. I don't know much about the legal system, but it seems like Federal judges don't have anything to worry about other than impeachment, which is next to impossible.

How would she be removed? Who would decide that?

It's especially relevant when you consider the phrase "Canary in a coal mine", which literally and figuratively describes early warning of a problem.

Can you mention the community name? I would actually be interested in a community that shows just highly upvoted, as opposed to everything.

Just FYI, sub.rehab lists more than just Lemmy instances. I found a listing for a squabbles community in there, but that is not federated with Lemmy.

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. You are a hero.

I can't even find a place on lemm.ee, using my browser, that would let me paste an arbitrary community path.
