Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.

It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.

My wife will scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher, and not start it because it's not completely full.

They're already so clean, the next person in the kitchen has a very difficult time telling if it has been run or not. JUST too dirty to eat from again, but also too clean to see at a glance. So annoying. I even got one of those clean/dirty magnets so we can signal to everyone, but then people forget to switch it.

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.

"A judge shall not engage in any partisan political activity," Nachtman read.

Science is non-partisan. Claiming otherwise says more about the science deniers than the folks with a snarky decoration in the yard.

And if childhood cartoons determined our actions, whole generations of kids would have wiped out the roadrunner population by dropping anvils on them (or attempting to, anyway).

It's weird that this has become such a controversial opinion. The internet is supposed to be open and available. "Information wants to be free." It's the big gatekeepers who want to keep all their precious data locked away in their own hoard behind paywalls and logins.

If some clanker is going to read my words, it's a very small price to pay for people being able to do the same.

Check their account history. They may as well be on an AI company marketing team.

there isn't technically a recession

And if the economy were shrinking, would the US government statisticians actually release reliable data that says so?

Seems like an important piece of information.

You can make just about any mundane fact sound conspiratorial if you leave out the right bits of context.

 

Tyrannus tyrannus is too powerful.

There are different answers depending on the end goal.

Mere survival: Isolated human populations have been bottlenecked to as few as a few hundred individuals and survived, IIRC.

A quick search says biologists like to see 25+ breeding pairs to maintain an animal species (if I'm reading that correctly). So 50-100 seems like pretty close to the minimum.

Long-term colony building with full genetic diversity needs a lot more: At least one estimate is as high as 40,000 people. The high number is for Earth-like diversity in the population, and with no need for any overarching breeding program, so it's really kind of an outlier scenario. That 40k figure can be pared down significantly if you have strict protocols, or accept some loss of diversity.

So anywhere from 50 people to 40,000 people, but the end result will look wildly different at the extremes.

We are committed to protecting Richmond's waterways

Wouldn't want all that street runoff - full of dirt, oil, animal droppings, and who knows what else - to be contaminated by a little caffeine.

 

"One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.” "

 

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.
