I’m not a rabid anti-nuclear, but there are somethings that are often left out of the pricing. One is the exorbitant price of storage of spent fuel although I seem to remember that there is some nuclear tech that can use nuclear waste as at least part of it’s fuel (Molten salt? Pebble? maybe an expert can chime in). There is also the human greed factor. Fukushima happened because they built the walls to the highest recorded tsunami in the area, to save on concrete. A lot of civil engineering projects have a 150% overprovision over the worst case calculations. Fukushima? just for the worst case recorded, moronic corporate greed. The human factor tends to be the biggest danger here.

Evolution in action.

That’s Inhoman!

I’m a guy with a high “test IQ”, and my sister, who is in the normal range is way more succesful that me in most aspects of life. You don’t want high “test IQ”, you want “smart people” not the same, and far more difficult to measure. High IQ basically means you are good at solving certain types of puzzles

As I mentioned, I use remotes occasionally, so I’m trying a low fuss solution. If my bread and butter were remote support, I’d probably invest time in a more customized set-up

Thanks. I’m trying out HopToDesk. As I understand it’s a clone. Works pretty well. I hope they don’t pull any shenanigans

This is dumb. Hand over development to bureaucrats? create a set of guidelines and requirements, and allow distros to be certified, and fund development of distros that are being used.

I usually buy high end devices, that tend to last 4-6 years. I usually choose by camera, battery, and charging speed. I’m currently on a 4 year old Xiaomi that has an great camera, the battery still last over a day, charges 5000 mAh in slightly over an hour. I have never broken a screen or lost a phone in over 30 years. I buy the latest and greatest to make sure my investment lasts.

If they raped your ancestors, which by the way I believe is disingenuous, as Im sure much mixing was consensual (not denying rape though), you are as much the offspring of the rapist as of the raped, you’d do well in starting to acknowledge that you are part of that which you hate.

If a black person has an offspring with a white one, the offspring has the same right to be callen white or black, even though society has’nt realized that yet.

Hergé, the father of Tintin: “Next to him ( Franquin) I am but a poor illustrator”

Franquin took the comic to art level. The way he was able to draw movement has no equal, for example.

If you want to have your mind blown, read the “Ideés Noires”, an adult oriented strip, black on white, (hence the ñame), created while he was under severe depression. I think Goya would have approved.

Wouldn’t a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

True, but with the insulation upgrade you’d basically end up with a DIY fridge that will probaby cost more, work less well and fail sooner.

Was it a Satellite Max?

Nowadays when I fly the fiirst criteria when I search for flights I check the airline’s fleet, then price.

Modern heat pumps, which use the same principle as A/C, can achieve 4 to 1 efficiency. Old fridges can be tanks, but are horribly inefficient. A new high efficiency unit could probably pay itself off in 2 3 years.

Try octopuses. Essentially liquid. Think Odo from Startrek DS9. Watch them go from a beige cucumberish shape to a dark green/brown lump that looks like a jagged rock

I’ve often wondered why e-ink displays are so expensive

There are some great looking container hoces in alibaba. Not joking.

I was once at a convenience store, run by a Chinese man, and this 30ish girl in a tank top, obviously a regular comes in and says @look I got my sons name tattooed. Then she says, “look, Aitor@“. The guysmiles nervously. She leaves, and I ask the guy, who es shaking his head, and he says that it was some random mataré sign.
