Sounds like an improvement over trying to communicate past a language barrier and accents so thick that the actively-hostile human CSR is neigh unintelligible.

Verizon customer service has been terrible for many years, and somehow their business to business service is even worse than residential.

Which door would the other guard tell me leads to treasure?

The pawns just need to realize they’re better of without a king and victory will be theirs.

What’s Germany’s plan to secure the EU merchant fleet against Iranian anti-ship missiles, fired by Iranian proxies in Yemen, without help from USA or Israel?

Those rockets miss, but the plane in front dropped flares just prior, so the pilot may have believed a heat seeking missile was launched.

The wing breaks off at the engine. Was the engine hit with a missile?

Those engines are 50 years old and probably haven’t been getting their regular maintenance on account of the 3 day special military operation going a bit over schedule. Maybe unmaintained SU-25s just randomly have their wings fall off sometimes?

Industry likes it too. Without a Federal standard, appliance makers would need 50 smaller, less efficient production lines to meet each State’s individual standards.

Imagine an infinitely large box with nothing in it. Where is the center? There isn’t one.

Imagine that box suddenly fills with pieces of stuff, more or less evenly distributed. Still no center.

Imagine the box starts getting bigger, but the amount of stuff stays the same and the distance between stuff quickly increases even though the stuff isn’t moving that fast. Where’s the center of the infinitely large box?

you can add “–cookies-from-browser firefox” or whatever browser you use, to the end of the yt-dlp target

This article seems to describe one of the things an attacker can do once they already have access to your device - a method for maintaining access that can evade detection. Did I miss the part where this article explains how a machine gets compromised in the first place, or does it just presume your machine is already somehow infected?

Those poor drone operators are going to be chasing this dragon for the rest of their careers.

We’re still burning fossil carbon for energy.

Carbon capture does not make sense until we have an excess of clean energy to power it.

Scaling it now would do more harm than good.

My guess is the month is most relevant to an agrarian society. It tells you where you are in the growing cycle that the entire culture revolves around. The day and year offer little practical utility to a 19th century farmer.

Yes, photons were released when the universe began to cool enough for electrons to combine with protons to make the first neutral hydrogen atoms. Those first photons are now observed as the Cosmic Microwave Background.

This article presents evidence that the cause of those primordial neutral hydrogen atoms having their electrons stripped away again was not primarily huge celestial formations like supermassive black holes or giant galaxies. Instead, it looks like the early universe produced such a large number of small galaxies that the light from stars in those small galaxies did the deed.

The strict gender binary is an arbitrary assignation of stereotypical behaviors loosely based on statistical averages. That is to say, its made up nonsense.

So yes, you should believe the evidence of your own senses before the opinions of people who are still trapped inside that unhelpful and counterfactual social construct.

Given the ham-handedness of Indian propagandists in English-speaking social media, if their pilots are of a similar quality, then it may have just been a skill issue rather than a demonstration of the quality of the hardware.

Looks like a versatile, modular platform.

The cargo bay looks like it can be swapped out with just a screwdriver.

The installed module on the right image seems to have slightly different geometry from the module installed in the left image.

The forward swept wing is not ideal for speed or maneuverability - they tend to twist and need heavy reinforcing, and that weight penalty typically isn’t a good tradeoff to make. However, it does push the center of lift forward to support a heavy payload in the nose.

because I didn’t know what it did either, then made a typo in the ChatGPT prompt when asking about it

Are you suggesting that the First Lady is receiving secret service?

yeah, pretty much

This is a Bash fork bomb, a malicious function definition that recursively calls itself:

:() — defines a function named : (yes, just a colon).

{ :|:& } — the function's body:

    :|: — pipes the output of the function into another call of itself, creating two processes each time.

    & — runs the call in the background, meaning it doesn’t wait for completion.

; — ends the function definition.

: — finally, this invokes the function once, starting the bomb.
