Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

Naw, I block the string “Musk” in my feed, helps a lot. “Get off” did not trigger it, sadly.

“What’s the video of the day, Ray?”

Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths…

5 1/4" floppy disk drives had little sensors that would detect a notch in the side of the rectangular disk sleeve (well outside of the round magnetic disk inside). Open notch meant “writeable”. Manufacturers would sell “one sided” disks cheaper with missing notch for the backside of the disk to prevent using it. You could use a hole punch to pierce the soft plastic sleeve and make a “writable” hole at the correct spot. The disks inside were identical on both sides, there never was a “one-sided floppy disk”, technically. This was during the “C64 and everybody got the games by exchanging floppy disks on the school yard” phase of home computing (ca 1985). Prices for floppy disks mattered a lot back then.

Using a hole punch to make 5 1/4" disks double sided! Saved a lot of money!

No it’s not. The common center here is the center of our galaxy which both orbit. Even if the sun wobbles a miniscule bit there is no common orbit between them.

Success has many parents. Failure is an orphan.

If you think you can open the front window of a 737 above the clouds and the only thing that happens is that your tie is slightly blown to the side then you have a very limited grasp of reality.

Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don’t know how he did it.

Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.

It’s actually a Caipirinha. I think I remember drinking a freshly juiced one at a bar once.

Same here. This was such a hostile move I never bought anything “Sony” after that.

Cat.

Yeah, Same Here. A “chooser” that offers 30 options kind of fails in its core functionality…

Word games. “God” and “Soul” are so ill-defined you can get literally anyone to agree that those “things” (thinks?) exist. If I define “soul” as “repeating emergent pattern of genetically and environmentally internal state and observable behaviour in a sentient species” I maybe could even get some people in this community to agree that such a concept exists. If I use a more religious definition like “magic non physical entity bestowed by an eternal god” all I would get is a resounding “NOO!”. It is the memetics strength of those concepts by being incredibly flexible and vague that will ensure their ongoing use and existence - and questions like this one.
