Ah, I got you now. At least that’s consistent.

The fact that one would be more fun than the other implies that equality (on that front) isn’t in the cards.

The spread is already down to 11 points. Hopefully the choices the Liberals and other parties make can narrow this further.

One more person complaining about the shitty meal.

The USA.gov website implies you are wrong, else why would they say this?

Whether you were born an American citizen or became one through naturalization, if you have dual citizenship

Then get out of technology and start reading posts in buy it for life.

In my lifetime, about the only rechargeable battery the average person had in their home was the one in their car. Now we’ve added 4 new major battery chemistries to the commercial space, some with multiple variants within them and all with improvements throughout their lifetimes. This is what science and technology looks like. The results you’re looking for would be magic or wishful thinking.

Worst AI prompt ever.

“Follow.” Like that wire around Manhattan so the whole place counts as home.

The gold is a nice touch.

You helped me narrow it down. I expect Adrian Thompson’s research from the 90s, referenced in this Wikipedia article is what you’re thinking of.

The particular example was getting clock-like behavior without a clock. It had an incomplete circuit that used RF reflection or something very similar to simulate a clock. Of course, removing this dead-end circuit broke the design.

Yes, resistive heat is expensive, but that’s only part of what makes heat pumps in cars more effective. They don’t just heat your cabin, they heat your battery so you maintain range while it’s cold out. Here’s an article with more details and some pretty infographics.

This would be a reason for me to start using Mastodon. I currently don’t, and never used Twitter, because the value i got wasn’t worth the pain. Mastodon looks like it would be less pain, but there isn’t any real value drawing me in. If my country or province spun up instances with verified accounts and media releases, I’d be very interested. If they made their own crappy app, thanks, I’ll pass.

I’m trying to think of anything that Trump did that I would classify as socialism and I’m coming up empty. One could argue about the COVID vaccine but that only fits if you squint and look at it from the right angle.

Yeah, these Fossify apps are forks of a previously open set of apps where the original developer did something that is generally frowned upon (i don’t remember the details) and don’t seem to have been given the attention I think they need since. It’s unfortunate. I’ll have to give the Material Files app a look and see if it’s better.

Yeah, they wouldn’t need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, “No single drop thinks it’s to blame for the flood” very much.

Yes, we’ve already established you don’t understand the concept of punching up/down. We don’t need to belabour the point.

Ah, okay, so you don’t understand the concept of punching up/down. Also, if you’re roast includes primarily low-hanging fruit, it isn’t going to be well-received, either.

So, if I read 80% female authors, from Indian, Chinese, African, African American, Japanese, Korean, Australian Aboriginal, Polynesian, and indigenous from North, Central, and South America, the suggestion I’m not diverse enough is okay? Not to mention that, if you’re speaking English, if not the majority then a disproportionate minority is going to be white men. And there’s the point. Your very statement implies there are only two groups, white authors and not white authors, which would be a lot more obvious if you hadn’t replaced “white” with “(different colour)”. So what was your reason for doing that, particularly in the context of punching up/down?
