Nokia is Finnish but I think they had closed EU factories by the Symbian era

It was feasible to download online images or WMV, AVI or RealPlayer videos to floppies. But it would take 8 minutes to download 1.44 MB over a mid-range 28k modem in 1999, and it could hold about 50 640x480 JPEGs or two minutes of 240p video.

Or did you mean “this was the internet back then” as in sneakernet or another non-computer alternative (not actually a connection between computers but accomplishing the same goal)?

Alternatively, “porn” could also mean lewd text, which load faster than one can read even on slowest modems, and a floppy can hold hundreds of pages printed on a dot matrix printer. Over two thousands with compression.

Zip disks were closer to floppies. Magnetic disks and tape are fundamentally different (random access, especially), although the physics behind the R/W operation is the same.

On Truth Social, mostly

No, “find out if an Arch of Triumph that could fit the Parisian one inside could stand on Berlin’s muddy soil” challenge. And the answer was no.

Buses, cops and ambulances get stuck in traffic too because New Yorkers don’t leave a Rettungsgasse. Look in all directions before running a red light or abusing right turn priority with a U-turn in the adjacent street.

It would be still plenty fun to play PS1 games on a CRT as a poor kid in 2011, I suppose.

Yup, status LEDs are great for over-the-phone troubleshooting. If you suspect somebody unplugged a thing and everyone says it’s running, ask for them to check the power LED’s color.

Funny if they also offered free water bottle refills (capped at gallon/day/cyclist, I imagine, making it still profitable as a loss leader)

Producing a pope → poverty

In NY, nothing beats an illegally de-limited electric bicycle. Often a regular one beats cars, especially if you are willing to run a red light here and there.

There are Facebook stone painting groups. They leave stones ranging from kitch to decent marked with the FB group and postcode and members are encouraged to pick some up and leave them along the trail on their next hike. I wonder if realistic gruesome ones have appeared…

TL;DR the bike frame features a curved metal pipe with triangular cross-section that houses the battery and connects the rear wheel to the steering column. This is very heavy and relatively sharp so it will act as a fulcrum to apply leveraged sideways force on the rider’s leg as the bike tips over. In the incident explored, the brakes failed and he was forced to swerve to avoid a pedestrian and fell in the process. An orthopaedic surgeon comments on the increase in severe Lime-related injuries, which can be life-changing or deadly, and that he sometimes had a hard time believing the vehicle involved was not a motorcycle.

Yup, awful website. No cookie rejection option and “This article was originally published on 23 July 20222”

France-sized population, yet a fraction of the economic output. But maybe the political power will convince them to get it together?

Wie lange wird die Gittertier-Schanze ausdauern? Soldaten Aldi-Süd wurden schon mit taktische Jetons ausgestattet.

How long will the shopping cart fortification last? Aldi-Süd soldiers have been equipped with tactical tokens.

Even Revanced has the options to hide Shorts or open them as regular videos. So does youtube.com with a simple Redirector rule.

Yes, it’s like making a chain out of padlocks, rather than locking two parallel bars together with each
