It’s a bit flexible nowadays because a lot of cars will let you leave the a/c on while you walk away with the keys.

I won’t even post to Hexbear without rereading my post and editing spelling/grammar errors, how do people submit research papers that will effect their professional reputation without doing it?

Funny fact: google’s newest feature is also its best, but it’s kinda hidden and might not be available everywhere - it’s “web search”, which cuts out all the awful bullshit

I’m sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t ever just use VLC.

This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China’s tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.

This reminds me that I’m writing a story about a witch and one of the first things that happens is that she pisses off the mushrooms and they tell the trees not to talk to her. I should get back to that.

The thing is that Rowling hadn’t really thought it through yet. Having the hero save a slave is pretty clearly heroic and good, and it’s a nice way to wrap up the Dobby story arc, but then the fans were all like “wait WHAT!? there’s slaves under Hogwarts!?” and she was forced to think it through, and it turns out JK’s pretty awful so the result of her thinking it through was to make it worse.

I do wonder how many people got hoodwinked by the film and then went to read the book only to be hit with an entire textbook of lectures from a libertarian.

Ready Player One I guess. There’s a big difference between seeing a fuckload of pop culture artifacts on screen and reading multiple pages of somebody rattling off their knowledge about them. The worst part is that RP1 doesn’t even really engage with the culture it utilizes in any kind of interesting way, it’s all just surface level references that you’d learn from reading Reddit comment sections where people quote memes at each other. The movie on the other hand kind of makes it work because the pop culture artifacts aren’t dwelled on, they’re used more like an aesthetic choice, while the main focus of the movie is on its paint-by-numbers plot.

edited out of the episode and then the user could also download said episode where ads are cut out of the final audio file

This is your problem, because you’re redistributing someone else’s work with the ads cut out, which isn’t sufficiently transformative to qualify for fair use. Sponsorblock is allowed because it doesn’t actually interfere with the video stream, it just tells your computer when to skip ahead using YouTube’s already-existing playback features - your app should work the same way, integrating into an existing podcast platform and skipping forward based on crowdsourced timestamps, then the only thing you’re providing are the timestamps, which don’t violate copyright.

DOOM can’t run inside a CAPTCHA!

If course Blastoise would be a cop.

Not like anarchist queen Charizard or vegan king Venusaur.

Scrolling through the massive list of Humble Bundle games I didn’t and still don’t care about.

I went looking for this a year or so back and I couldn’t find any big study that looked at the lifetime emissions of motorcycles compared to cars, but the road emissions by themselves are generally about as bad because while there are fewer emissions from motorcycles, the emissions that exist are worse because the smaller engine doesn’t burn the fuel as completely. The thing is a huge chunk of a car’s lifetime emissions come from manufacturing, which I suspect makes motorcycles better, but again I never found that comprehensive study.

I think they did at one point, but during the plot he’s the only one and he’s working unpaid overtime, because he warned them when he signed his original contract that the system they wanted needed more engineers and more time but they didn’t listen and then threatened him into working for free when the system wasn’t ready at the end of his original contract. This is the direct reason why he committed the corporate espionage that caused the whole park to go fubar.

I’ve been on both sides of that kind of interaction, though not in academia. I met my boss of six months for the first time like two weeks ago, tbh I’m not sure if I would recognize him (or anyone else on my “team” for that matter) if I saw him again right now.

small trucks that are designed to transport things

The optimal city transport network: people on trolleys and ebikes, cargo entering the city on trains and being "last mile"d with electric kei trucks.

Always worth remembering that American-style suburbs were a deliberate political project in the postwar period. They didn’t “just happen”, the government spend billions making them happen at the behest of auto makers, property developers, and racists (but I repeat myself).
