Hey here’s a thought: let’s get rid of all the laws requiring single-unit detached housing. That should open up some new housing in places people want to live.

Perhaps I want clear. If you split helium, you lose energy. You have to go above iron if want to release energy from fission (mostly).

Splitting helium requires energy. Go for Radon or something.

I thought Arch was notorious for breaking all the time? Is that a specific version of Arch?

I’ve bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don’t understand the interface and I’ve submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it’s overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that’s fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.

I couldn’t find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn’t supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn’t find any option to disable this functionality.

Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don’t have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don’t know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.

In case you haven’t been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you’ll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I’m forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

Without knowing the numbers, it’s impossible for me to make a judgment call on the release, but it’s important to remember that literally everything around you is radioactive. Just because the water has measurable amounts of radioactive material in it does not mean it’s unsafe. Ocean water is 3 parts per billion uranium, and yet people happily eat ocean fish.

Again, without knowing the numbers I can’t say for sure, but depending on what’s in the water (and how much there is) it very well could be entirely fine to dump it.

In any case, yeah I totally agree. It’s a publicity stunt.

Programming languages are build around the standard keyboard. Keyboards had most of the symbols you’re thinking of from their typewriter days. You can see most of the special characters in these small typewriters from the mid 1900s.

With things like electric Wheel Writer typewriters, adding extra keys and symbols were less of a complexity issue and you started to see a few more extra symbols.

Recognize that there never has been a hard standard for layouts and symbols, just the industry copying and converging on systems that became popular.

Well shit, sign me up!

I have no idea what F-Droid is, but I tried them all and I actually like the UI of the official app the best. It’s missing a few features, but they’re still improving it and integrating all the features.

Okay but that’s actually still pretty cool. I love seeing all the weird stuff that didn’t make it to today to feel normal.

I don’t know why I like this so much, but I do.

There’s a few places that didn’t get cars until later and “no thank you” was a very common reaction. We really ought to just ban private ownership.

Hello hello hello!

I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!

Ah!

No you don’t!

Yeach.

The black king returns from vacation and sits down at the negotiation table with the pawns.

I have been wanting one of these things for so fucking long. I can’t wait!

I wonder where they’re applying them. Presumably not in areas they intend to push through.

Whose cluster bomb is this? Russia has been using them this whole time. It’s my understanding the Ukrainians are more interested in taking the cluster bombs apart and using each bomblet as a done bomb. Using cluster bombs offensively means you have to advance through the unexploded ordinance you just dropped, since the dud rate is anywhere from 3-40% depending on who made the bomb.

They don’t track you.

We only run “context-based” ads, meaning that they are selected as a function of your search term. If you search for “green bank” you likely are interested in green banking ads.

Google and Bing itself operate very differently. They do what critics call “surveillance-based” advertisements. Before serving you an ad they might look at what you searched for in the past, what emails you wrote, which videos you watched, and what you bought with your credit card. They probably are also taking your search terms in order to influence what banner advertisements to show you in their office products or elsewhere.
