Data centers and Flock are the two things uniting left and right protesters.

Good did not hit an officer with her car, and was driving away from him when she was shot through the side window of her car.

Pretti was legally armed and was shot and killed while face down on the ground.

This is all corroborated with video and contradicts statements from the involved federal agents. Charitably they were “mistaken”, realistically they lied to cover themselves.

There are many more instances where federal agents lied about what happened and their accounts were later refuted by eyewitness testimony and video. Just in those cases the victims did not die. Look up all the cases that were thrown out of court because government’s case rested on falsehoods.

It is exciting, but the fact we’re not sending humans on suicide trips to Mars doesn’t mean space exploration is “dead”.

Why? What are you going to do on Mars?

For the cost and effort of a single manned Mars mission we could learn much, much more by sending many robotic missions, including returning samples.

From a scientific perspective there is currently little reason to send humans anywhere.

You can argue we’ve explored space much more than we would ever have if we focused on manned missions, making space exploration more alive than when we sent humans to the moon.

I think we all know the real reason, which I knew at the time as well: if you print the page, you aren’t seeing new ads.

Gave up exploring space? Are we living in the same reality? Space exploration is well and alive. It’s just done with robots. We’d never have pictures of Pluto if we were hyper-focused on manned missions.

We even have samples returned from comets and Mars samples waiting to be picked up.

I used to work for a vehicle listing site, and over and over again when we talked to real users they would tell us how they would make spreadsheets and print out our vehicle pages (and from other sites too) so they could compare everything together on their kitchen table.

We had just completed yet another other redesign and our (React) pages printed completely mangled and users hated it. We regularly got feedback about it.

And yet it was so low priority that me (UX designer) and a developer had to team up and get off the record permission to spend a few days fixing it in CSS alone while our managers covered for us.

When people for whom $29,000 is an enormous expense are purchasing a car, you can bet they are printing stuff and very, very carefully considering their purchase. Primary demographic was not young, tech native people.

With such complexity per key, are there other advantages besides the modularity? Are there per key customizations this could enable that regular keyboards couldn’t do in firmware alone?

That’s still nothing like the reform other languages have had.

Fair enough, I didn’t want to over sell it though.

I’m not particularly interested in what ancient texts say, but with what can be observed.

One of the best ways to help children learn to read is to read to them, a lot.

That alone won’t teach them to read, but it will help them a lot as they work through learning.

My kids have been “learning” to read since they were born and my oldest started reading on his own at age 4-5. I didn’t push him to read at all, he surprised me when he started telling me what the signs along the road said.

My younger hasn’t taken to it quite as fast but he’s right where he should be for his age, but we read at least three books to him every day at bedtime. I still read to my older one every day (we’ve read LotR twice), even though he’s plenty capable on his own.

I would never expect first tier support to know, let alone ever admit, something like that.

He was just showing us how high the corn grows?

If I didn’t know it existed then it might as well not exist as far as I’m concerned. I agree that would be a reasonable default but in my experience it either isn’t the case or isn’t effective.

It’s very easy to make dashi at home with bonito and kombu (dried kelp). From there you can use it as a base for different soups or to cook with.

There are different kinds of dashi but those are the two ingredients I use since they’re readily available and non-perishable.

Any time furry stuff gets banned, people claim it’s an attack against queer people because seemingly most furries are queer. Of course many queer people do not identify as furries, but they’re getting dragged in by those that do because claiming persecution for being a furry is going to garner much less sympathy than claiming persecution for being queer.

I disagree. They should be allowed to decide and make such editorial decisions.

But along with that, if they are making decisions, they should be held to account for what they do allow.

That part I agree with. Payment processors should be legally neutral in what is rapidly becoming a cashless society.

Other than that though, I think platforms should be free to ban smut if they want. I’ve abandoned several sites over time because they became inundated with cartoon smut, which I am not interested in.

Good enough for this.

How are the locations decided? For example: a broad, regional geologic feature (a sedimentary layer spanning for tens or hundreds of miles) is presented on the map with a point located at a nearby private residence.

Is that home just coincidentally near the geometric center of the geographic region the feature is named after?

If this were the kind of thing that caught on and became wildly popular I'd be concerned about it misdirecting people to private property.

It appears that even the “authors” don’t read it.

I’m sure they all have answers for everything, all equally unverifiable and untestable. Conveniently so, perhaps.

If you know of a testable hypothesis for any religion, I’d love to know because I’ve never heard one.

I’m open to being convinced, but I’ve never seen or heard anything convincing for any religion.

It’s the strange dichotomy of the religious engineer/programmer/scientist.

In one domain, they are skeptical and thorough, but in the other they’ll just take anything at face value without questioning it. How do they even know which god was responsible? There’s more than one religion claiming to be the one true religion.

It’s also strange to bring up magic in a discussion about medicine.

I understood perfectly. My comment was meant to illustrate your exact point in reply to the comment I replied to.

Reading comprehension must be a thing of the past at this point.

Agreed! When they make you start paying for ads, it’s time to do something else. I haven’t had a subscription to any TV service in years because of the ads.

I don’t care about whatever shows I’m missing.

Reminds me of the anecdotes of people who gave away all their stuff right before they were to be raptured.

Believe it or not, some people live fulfilling lives without viewing any sporting events.

You can live without watching whatever the latest show is.

They instructed an intelligent entity.

So product managers have been programmers this whole time after all.
