I took my first college network engineering class in the fall of 2000. The professor was retired from the profession and nearly retired as a professor, but so excited about how this cool new thing that was coming. “IP addresses are running out. Imagine an addressing system capable of generating a unique address for every blade of grass on the planet. In a few years you’ll need to learn this new system” I’m sure he’s passed on by now. And I’m sure IPV4 will outlive me.
Petroleum may be both an accelerator and a filter. Filter in the form of plastic, like you’re saying, but maybe it’s weird that crude oil even exists in the first place. An era where plants die, but don’t decompose may be a rarity in itself. Then the geologic activity that buried that dead plant matter, but not too deeply for us to get to, seems like it could also be a rarity. So then we get this energy source that’s pretty energy dense and allows massive technical acceleration, but then poisons us and salts the earth behind us. Look how shortly we went from the first fixed wing flight to rocketing to the moon, amazing how short that time was. Hydrocarbons, allowing us to touch the greatness we could achieve, before smacking us back down.
The best thing to come from Superman is Lex Luther. No villain can go toe to toe with Supes, except maybe Doomsday, but does he really count as a villain? Mindless kill machine. Anyway, Lex has to beat Superman who can punch him into mist, or roast him by looking at him too hard, or literally blow him to the moon. How do you write a villain to counter that? By making them cunning and lovable to the public so that if Superman does any of those things, the public turns against him. Superman’s weakness isn’t only kryptonite, he craves social acceptance, if he didn’t he would just punch his way into being in charge and dare anyone to stop him. Lex gets how razor thin that edge is and takes full advantage.
25 years ago I don’t trust my memory on that. I don’t remember knocking, but it’s quite possible it already had all the lead built up that it needed to prevent knocks. Or because it was parked on the street I just didn’t care.
From 97-2000 I drove a ‘77 GMC truck that was designed for leaded gas which was not available any more. I just used unleaded. No additives or anything. Maybe the fact it was a V8 meant it could stand being a little out of tune, but I never saw any adverse affects.
I made one of these years ago with a round dish brush and a long bolt. One of the most effective cleaning tools in the house. That plus “barkeepers friend” cleaner will take care of any hard-to-scrub grime.
Good God, your utility company isn’t even using lube when they fuck you with a rusty shovel. Without solar, my time off use plan would make it $0.08/kWh. With solar I don’t even bother figuring out what my cost per mile is because it’s irrelevant till I need a fast charger. I don’t even pay $0.50/kWh at a fast charger usually. I’d be going with a full off-grid solar battery system if I were you. Charging my neighbors cars for free before selling a joule back to those assholes
That’s just a distraction. The real question is why are there so many articles about heat pumps?
From what I’ve seen John Leguizamo doesn’t really repeat himself as an actor though. The styles are completely different so maybe he would repeat the character but I just don’t really see it happening. Great actor though, deserves more accolades.
WTF happened to Microsoft? What a fall. Is this a leadership thing?
I love how this comment covers super common misconceptions, but then throws a super specific database issue in at the end. Gotta have that cascade on delete, unless you want orphans.
If they changed office space so that they were working on the 2038 issue instead of the Y2K issue, and gave them smartphones, it would strike all the right chords today that it did when it came out.
This is a great explanation of why I feel dirty just driving somewhere over the course of 8-10 hours. Sure I’m not getting dirty, but I’m not passively exfoliating either.
Gopuff is the company. They don’t deliver take out like grub hub and door dash. They are like a delivery for things you’d run to the convenience store for. Commonly I’ll deliver a 12 pack of coke, some chips, and a bag of ice; or something similar. Often I’m delivering some alcohol as well, many times to party’s or other group things. I think that’s great, let the good times roll but keep the drinkers off the road.
Don’t do Dash, but deliver for another app that tracks like everything. If it puts the GPS point in the wrong spot, that’s where I deliver because there’s very little tolerance. Actual address 4 houses down? Too bad, the app will only let me deliver it here. Apartment complex is huge and you’re too far from this entrance? I’ll get it as close as I can. But can’t get it to your door.
I always text an explanation and offer to either drop where I’m allowed or return the order. But most people ordering off this app are drunk or high when I’m delivering, they would rather walk to me.
Betting it’s not leather. Leather doesn’t melt. It will burn, but never liquify. It clearly appears that the outer layer liquified. Also this screams prank to me, but good quality, oiled leather should also hold up ok to 350 for 15 mins.
Hope this applies to cars as well. Bust a taillight in your Ford and get your own replacement, you still have to have a dealer configure the integrated BLISS sensor.
I’m running a game for my kids and their friends. We’re already using medieval sets and mini figs for scenes and battle maps. This is great news in my opinion.
The NHSTA requires a backup cam, which requires a screen. Since the screen is there they might as well make it something they can upcharge for.
I do wish they’d keep it small, nothing more than a fancy stereo. But instead it’s cheaper to bake more and more features into it instead of dedicated knobs and buttons. And it becomes a vector for subscriptions.
All of this is to say that no one asked for it, but it makes more business sense when you know that the screen is required for the backup camera.
Really only protects you for about ten years. It’s not like they’re suddenly going to become repairable at the 5 or 10 year mark.
