Except for one?

They’re all uninteresting background noise and do a good job of that, but actively selecting it and listening to an album is not something I’d do.

Depends on what you’re controlling and your geographic location.

If this were the case, the goon squad would have showed up.

Not sure if relevant but it’s deep through there - 60-100m.

I’m not a marine engineer but I think mines would need to be anchored. Might be cheaper to have drone boats hidden in every bend in the coastline.

Some part of this is the male influencers, and some part of this is kids being ignorant. But being a straight woman in that age group must really suck.

So, weekends and holidays to be interrupted as desired by the boss, onsite. What rot.

A renewed interest in competing with Chromebooks?

Can’t complain. My kids need to use something beyond my 8 year old Surface.

Management thinks they want this, but in reality would be disturbing.

Narrow water passage controlled by opposing faction, hmm? Ask the British about Dardanelles and see how it worked out for them. It doesn’t t need to be a complete closure; an occasional artillery barrage or rocket would suffice.

I’d say coffee, because I have a low level dependency on morning caffeine and high level emotional dependence. I’d say alcohol, because I tend to binge drink weekends.

But really, it’s my smartphone. I can cut alcohol and caffeine out easily, but I can’t lose the smartphone, which means it’s always there ready for me to dissociate.

They’re within their rights and it’s definitely not something they want to have take off, whether it’s accurate or not.

But apparently their brand management doesn’t know who Barbara Streisand is.

cheap, reliable CVT

I may be out of date but Nissan’s CVTs self destruct very effectively and Subaru’s don’t handle the torque of the H6 so well. They’re still unpleasant to drive. Give me an EV every day.

Well, this is a bit how world wars have started in the past… yay.

I have one of their devices with an intel CPU. I didn’t even boot the OS. Just popped in the firmware and told it to boot proxmox. But it’s an i5 with 32GB RAM so a different scenario than you’re thinking of. Im still bitter about waiting for Black Friday to upgrade the RAM and paying double.

It’s LPDDR, I think that’s not upgradable, and not a lot.

I’ve heard that dosages are way higher than necessary. Body builders are using gray market product with approaching 1/2 the dosage and seeing good results I think I remember someone saying.

He looks like he’s had a stroke and was just wheeled in to fill space.

If they didn’t have AI to blame, they’d call this a pivot (and the subtext would be they’re running out of funding). It’s not about AI.

the water content in butter makes it taste vegetal. To each their own, but I prefer coconut oil. I do it for a few hours sous vide, can’t remember the temperature, for a gentle de carb. I run it through an Aeropress to strain.

The new Leaf is supposed to be pretty good, as far as appliance oriented transportation is concerned. VW has been putting out decent cars too for a while. Both these manufacturers fundamentally understand how to put a car together which puts them ahead of Tesla. I’m wary of Toyota and Honda offerings as they’ve spent a fair bit of time avoiding them. USA big 3 make some compliance cars, which are appliance grade but I’d only consider them if they’re dirt cheap.

Up-market, Volvo and Polestar are putting out some interesting cars, and if I had USD200k I could only use on a car, it would be a Lucid - politics aside, I think they’re doing some great engineering. BMW and Mercedes’s offerings are not inspiring, but Audi has some interesting stuff they share to some extent with VW.

The up front costs of car + solar are not negligible, but the operating costs are dirt cheap. I spend less on my payment than I used to spend on gas.
