Well that sure sounds like a bunch of marketing gobbledygook.

AI leading us cavemen into the future.

The strongest way for the US to retaliate would be to also tax these money-sucking, society-ruining, shithead companies. You know, just like every other “person”.

I’d just keep a couple different copies and then copy them every 5-10 years, or as new technology comes along. Maybe something like this will be available for consumers in the near future.

Well this story just bummed me the fuck out. That dude needs to be in someplace for psychiatric help. Shithead sociopath.

I wish they wouldn’t advertise days of battery life, when their “day” is 1/2 an hour. Just say how many hours the battery will run. The math for how long it’ll run for my use is not rocket science. It’s good to see color E Ink in a reasonable price range. I think I’ll wait for the size to increase while staying affordable.

I don’t think you’ll get anything that is a real drop in for Partiful.

Sounds interesting. I’d imagine it would make it easier to seal off the electronics and have a drink-proof keyboard.

The last person I saw try to look at an eclipse was some idiot, I can’t remember his name.

It wasn’t the authors. Well, not the authors of the paper. It was the author of the publisher’s introduction to the paper.

On 7 August 2010, Russian finalist and former third-place finisher Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finnish five-time champion Timo Kaukonen passed out after six minutes of 110 °C (230 °F) heat, both suffering from serious burns and trauma. According to a spectator, Kaukonen was able to leave the sauna with assistance, but Ladyzhensky had to be dragged out, suffering from convulsions, burns, and blisters.[5] Ladyzhensky died despite resuscitation and Kaukonen was rushed to the hospital.[6] He was reported to suffer from extreme burn injuries, and his condition was described as critical, but stable.

I guess that would put a damper on future competitions. Seems like something from an old Simpsons episode.

The Voyager missions were such a part of my childhood. National Geographic articles filled with new pictures of planets so far away. Space being huge. And a fictional Voyager 6 having a prominent role in Star Trek The Motion Picture.

That’s the normal speed. Maybe it’s not my VPN. I ran a speed test with the VPN and only dropped around 100 Mbs.

Thank you for the info. I’ll try your suggestions.

I’ve tried everything but different countries. I’ll get back to you on that.

Edit: Nope. Everything I change seems to make no difference in speed. Not slower, not faster.

Sorry, yeah not much to go on. I have Private Internet Access, I’ve tried both protocols and the available ports. Nothing made a difference.

The Years of Rice and Salt.

I remember hearing about that book. Interesting premise.

I think the “ran out of steam” is a good way to describe it. I’ll probably end up reading a couple more of his books, but it won’t be for some years, and many, many other books, from now.

From the little I could read before the paywall, he could be guilty as hell. Or not.
