Yeah, lithium ion is pretty dangerous and not to be fucked with… but actually we do allow filling up cars in private residences… You can just go get a fuel can or extra tank of your choice, fill it up at a station when fuel is cheap and kee

Thank you for taking the time to do the grim maths… Also, holy ** I thought it was bad and probably going to be maybe 10-25 times higher… based on the utter devastation I have seen in satellite imagery… but over 150 times more… The proporti

That’s one potential mitigating factor, but they were also using large bombs like 2000 pounders on targets that I’ve not seen any reputable military commentators agree as justifying such a large bomb… like the typical comment are things lik

In genuinely morbid moment of being nerd snipped… I wonder if the ordinance dropped per square meter on Gaza is higher than the ordinance dropped be square meter on Vietnam… which was famously bombed so hard that detailed maps needed to be

Sadly I suspect this will be the case… I don’t hold much hope on this whole thing actually ending… but I do have a glimmer of hope that they may have reached a tipping point due to one of the many slowly shifting parts of this tragedy… no i

Ok, I’m really not sure why the simple answer isn’t getting across here. His position as co-head of the nominal “department of government efficiency” only exists due to the legitimacy it has been granted by the recognition granted to it by

It’s currently just in name only. But that is likely to change soon in some form yet to be revealed when the new government is sworn in. So legally it isn’t in government yet, however as it is officially part of the elected governments plan

They in all likelihood, have already started… to some extent… Given the geopolitical context it’s extremely unlikely that they were willing to make a statement, even as vaguely shaped as the whole, “nato or nukes and we choose nato” thing w

Interesting to have a more complete picture of how this kind of YouTube scam works, with all the little differences between the normal and the music half of YouTube pointed out clearly along the way.

They don’t care about that. I mean it’s the opening paragraph… > I just want to see it. Just once. I want to watch that earthquake ripple through all of global electronic timekeeping. I want to see which organisations make it to January

Ok… so looking from the outside in Australia… a country with mandatory voting that always happens on weekends to make it incredibly easy for people to do their civic duty, thus allowing us to levy a fine against anyone who doesn’t vote… w

This kind of low level testing can be such a pain. Its fortunate this hardware has netboot. This is the "easy" path for low level testing, I've worked with other stuff where the only option is virtual SD card devices and ...

It’s about abstractions, and a lot of the time visual programming tools don’t get it right. Either they are too abstract and your limited to a set of nodes/blocks that are not powerful enough and adding more is challenging because the

Yeah, I’ve started to get a bit cautious about the quality control in these papers too… not because I doubt there’s a problem, but that I suspect it’s all too easy to ignore the quality control necessary to ensure lack of contamination when

Treatment for PTSD can sometimes involve years of therapy, conservatively assuming monthly sessions (it’s not unusual for them to be every two weeks for serious cases) that’s well going to quickly rival the cost of any private/undergro
