Ah I see thanks

Ben Eater has a great video on it.

I’m not watching a video, but appreciate the pointing in the right direction

USB sends a dummy zero every few consecutive 1s for framing purposes

Huh, TIL about Bit-Stuffing and Framing Bits

Bit stuffing is the insertion of non-information bits into data … is used for various purposes, such as for bringing bit streams that do not necessarily have the same or rationally related bit rates up to a common rate

Framing is the process by which, while receiving a stream of fixed-length frames, the receiver identifies the frame boundaries, permitting the data bits within the frame to be extracted for decoding or retransmission. A common practice is to insert in a dedicated time slot within the frame, a noninformation framing bit that is used for synchronization of the incoming data with the receiver.

Surely that only works on a USB that is already zero’d out (meaning nothing to change)?

I wonder if this benchmark holds true on a USB that has seen some action and needs to commit large number of zeroes in random dereferenced space?

Heavy petting is not forbidden, but frowned upon

At the BANK!

That look: “You only cared for my wellbeing when I was up here and not down there. Curious double-standard, is it not?”

The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed

Ah, makes sense - thanks for this

gotta summary? I don’t wanna watch a vid

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn’t – I’d argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

one continent was not enough, and though they do not thirst for the entire world, they do thirst for our half

In a war, the birds would side with the crocodiles. I’m calling it.

thank you kind stranger!

A vivid excerpt reads:

“The Euphrates is her river—established by wise lord Nudimmud—
It quenches the lea, saturates the canebrake,
Disgorges its waters into lagoon and sea…
Herds and flocks lie on verdant pastures, Wealth and splendor—what befit mankind—
Are bestowed, multiplied, and regally granted.”

Even more revolutionary are the passages that describe the role of Babylonian women, specifically as priestesses

(nothing…?)

@remindme@mstdn.social 3 min that Lisa Mafia told me that she was a soldier

“See Roy? SS ant.”

try saying “lamb” as a non-native without sounding like you’re saying “lem”

Something is crawling inside that ship. We need to investigate.

I think it’s a reference to someone entrenched in the FF universe, probably a fan of D&D campaigns, who is being tongue-in-cheek AT’d

It’s 1995!
Now that I’m older stress weighs on my shoulders

Nice, and no no the sword lies perpendicular to his body plane as he goes in

(I’m not mocking anyone, I just wanted to see if you’d add a sword, and you did and now my day is better)
