Not the original commenter but I’d wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the “inconvenience” of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn’t count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? …nah.

Digital Cinema Package; basically the movie file you’re watching when you’re in a movie theater.

That’s some RFC 2549 logic, right there.

Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!

You just need 9 more PCs with the same motherboard on em!

From BNL,

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

I have a history of taking off my shirt

I collected Marvel cards back in the 90s and I’m pretty sure I have at least a few that are official “collectors items” now. I’ve never looked into it very thoroughly since I just kept them in baseball card pages with no other particular protection from the climate, etc, but who knows?

Pretty sure that was more than one time

Only when the tree shoots first

I think it’s slightly more nuanced - not all OTAs are recalls, and not all recalls are OTAs (for Tesla). Depending on the issue (for Teslas), the solution may be pushed via an OTA in which case they “issue a recall” with a software update. They’re actually going through this right now. For some other issues though, it’s a hardware problem that an OTA won’t fix so they issue a recall to repair the problem (ex: when the wiring harness for their cameras was fraying the cables).

This is 100% from the NHTSA shenanigans, though.

The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.

Quick, someone link the xkcd

cloud hyperscaler

I know you’re technically right, but their “cloud” is the weirdest offering I have ever seen

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.

I am the terror that flaps in the night…

Chicken dinrar?

Not OP, but pretty sure JP = Justice of the Peace

I feel like it’s pretty clear:

1. eat pickles
2. whistle

I’m in my early 40s in the US. I learned to drive a manual when I got my license ~25 years ago but haven’t driven one since that day. I rode a motorcycle for a few years as well, so I’m pretty sure I could manage if I absolutely had to.

Thank you for doing this so I didn’t have to
