I usually end up rubbing mine all over the terminal because each one seems to be a special snowflake with the NFC spot and I can just hear the voice in my head: “That’s not it… That’s not it either” then the cashier has to show me exactly where it is.

Yes the marauder in all its inceptions is a wonderful machine. I’m planning an all marauder lance for my current playthrough of BTA3062. Marauder II, Nightstar, Marauder IIC, and a MAD-5M (just for nostalgia). All with clan tech

And an AWS-8Q to mount them on. Just watch your heat.

Did a jeweler tell you that so they could sell you something expensive? Tungsten rings are hard but brittle. They can be broken with a pair of vise grips, just like stone rings.

Before there was the Internet there were libraries. Your main reference books were dictionaries for looking up proper definitions of unknown words. Then you had encyclopedias for general topics. To get really specialized you had to consult the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. That was an index organized by topic of magazine articles, including scientific ones like Nature. Reference librarians were very helpful in finding specific information in a hurry, and there were some books that couldn’t leave the library.

There is a large difference between “freezing to death” in common language and being cryogenically stored (frozen solid). The lowest core body temperature on record of someone surviving an event like that with no deficits is slightly over 50F/11C.

Peter Parker doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this argument. Dude literally figured out how to synthesize spider silk in large quantities, which is one of the most sought after discoveries in materials science. Then he just uses it to swing around New York City and tie up bad guys. All his money woes would be over with just one licensing deal with Oscorp. His best friend even runs the company so he could stipulate how they use it

Amigas were great machines, even the 500. I dreamed of having a 3000 but never got there. Who can forget the Guru meditation errors…

Merv just doesn’t want to leave Charals

Pretty much the only band that I’ll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.

Oh great, the bots are now sea lions.

Do you believe this? Texas residents asked to conserve water while AI data centers use millions of gallons

Same here, I started with Slackware 4 and have done the recompile your kernel depending on what hardware you have quite enough thank you. I’ll use whatever works with the least hassle and if that means Linux Mint on almost all my home setups, so be it.

We had the opposite effect in Michigan. After our committee got done redrawing the districts, the next election brought the legislature in line with how the voting percentages stack up in statewide voting. https://votersnotpoliticians.com/how-redistricting-helped-democrats-flip-michigan/

Word of warning, do not go to the foundry discord with anything related to plutonium. Don’t mention it, don’t have any screen shots showing it, pretend it doesn’t exist. They are a WOTC partner and will not tolerate distribution of copyright material without a license.

There is likely a filter you need to turn off.

Now compare it to how much fly ash a coal plant produces.

Fortunately, New York has anti-SLAPP laws. In fact, they made them stronger when it comes to matters that touch free speech on public issues, which is what reporting something the president said would fall squarely under.

Put these in your bag of tricks: the average human blinks between 15,000 and 20,000 times per day; and if the sun suddenly stopped shining we wouldn’t know about it for about 8 minutes

This greentext put me in mind of Monty Python’s Cat Fish License skit and you just come in here and casually drop the fact that there actually were detector vans (real or fake doesn’t matter). You learn something every day.
