The subhead is
The ads promoted extremist hate speech
It wasn't clear to me from the title if "referencing Nazi war crimes" was a good or bad thing (as in, "don't let history repeat itself" seems a good message, but that's apparently not the perspective the ad was pushing...).
Living things are "entropy eaters" --- they take in energy, reduce their own entropy, and poop out entropy to the environment. This is fine, and it doesn't violate any thermodynamics if you look at the whole picture.
So I think the point is that creationists take a myopic view and only look at the creature itself, where indeed it reduces its own entropy...but that's because the creationists are stupid and ignore, you know...everything else.
This is true not only for individual animals, but for evolution itself --- more complexity in animals can be viewed as a decrease in entropy (again, this is only a problem if you ignore the rest of the universe).
Their argument is the same as saying that you can open your fridge door to cool off your room.
I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.
The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.
Sounds like he was a mantis and was posting while copulating.
Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely --- you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).
If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.
To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.
Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it --- they are infuriating.
That character is from the 20s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddy_Kilowatt
It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.
There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.
I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.
You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches
But remember that the kernel knows best --- this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).
As someone from San Francisco, I'd suggest at least looking into it as an option. (I'm a straight white guy though so maybe not the best source here...). In particular https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_District,_San_Francisco
For some color on the type of neighborhood it is, here's a recent incident. Unfortunately it involved some violence, but the good guys won (I don't think it should be triggering...): https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/11/nudists-save-tourist-attack-castro/
Of course, San Francisco being in the US, I wouldn't blame you for trying to find somewhere else. But California (and SF in particular) is very different than Trump country.
We breathed a huge sigh of relief when our kid got vaccinated (first dose at ~1yr old). I just can't fathom voluntarily not doing that.
I thought it was the poop challenge...
I have one SSID with pihole (which I use), and one without. Works pretty well, if you're ok with a VLAN-aware network.
It's a bill pointing out the hypocrisy of reproductive rights.
Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it's trying to compete with the Air.
I mean, I don't think "reflexively opposing" is really a good thing, ever --- in this case though "reflexively opposing" and "opposing on merit" would (as far as I know) yield the same outcome, so it's functionally the same thing.
I don't hate Trump's nominee's because I hate Trump, I hate them because they're antithetical to a working government.
Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!
Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
