Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.
Ive read the first few so far. The next book on my list looks to be a full length novel.
I find your reference of “her humans” is interesting. I never thought of muderbot as a her. Perhaps I missed an important line somewhere in the story?
I think your review is right on. You captured exactly what it’s like. I look forward to reading the next book.
To add to others, wind also is generated when a rain “microburst” occurs.This happens frequently in the southwest U.S.
A microburst is when a very large amount of water is dropped out of the clouds. The gaining rain speed pushes the air below it out of the way. The air is pushed outward horizontal to the ground, which in essence is a massive wall of wind.
Often in the Sonoron desert a microburst causes the wind to push a lot of dirt from the ground surface to be blown out with the wind. When this happens it’s called a haboob. The wall of thick dust and particles can be up to a mile high and as wide as a city.
Below is a link to an image of a haboob over Phoenix, Arizona.
Not if they are regulated to put an “In Full or in Part AI Generated” label on it.
I think we’re there. The future is today.
Thank you for being kind in explaining that to me.
Is ‘ifconfig -all’ no longer a thing?
Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I’ve tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?
How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.
There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can’t seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.
When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.
How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.
~$ ll ~/.themes
drwxrwxr-x 5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
drwxrwxr-x 9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
drwxrwxr-x 7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
drwxrwxr-x 9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/
So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn’t notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.
I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don’t list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a “theme” impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??
Still couldn’t find anything in Cinnamon Spices. Oh well.
the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme
I don’t understand what that means.
Font size did not affect change.
Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.
Tried. No go. It doesn’t change with the font size of the title bar.
The one that doesn’t allow advertisements or rampant bots.
Oh okay. I didn’t realize that. Wow.
6 million dollars apiece is cheap?
Ah, that’s why. I did not know that. Thank you.
i read the article. It says 1 in 5 die from it. It’s spreading due to warmer water. It thrives where river water and salt/sea water mix. If you have scratches or abrasions, it can enter that way. One person who survived said he will never go into water again.
I think some news companies are trying to sue him for linking to articles without paying them, which is a strange turn of events given it wasn’t too long ago that businesses would paid you to link to their site (that’s what Elon says anyway; I’m not in web commerce so I don’t know personally how it works.) So, I guess he wants to have people write the news on his site instead?
I think news companies are going bust?
I can’t seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?
