I’m afraid to watch this show again because I remember it being an awesome trippy mess, but I don’t want tonrealize it’s all nostalgia and the show actually sucks so I can’t rewatch it

You got it backwards, he lifts to improve jerking vigour.

This is where most of my passwords come from

Mine does that but only the 1-6 buttons. And like… if I’m being honest microwaving something for longer than 6 minutes is probably less than 1% of my total microwave usage, but it feels like the greatest injustice ever experienced by anybody when I have to press cook time then 8 0 0 to get my microwave to run for 8 minutes

This does not look like it would keep ones hands clean enough to play cards while enjoying their meats and cheeses. The Earl of Sandwich would be dismayed

It’s basically chaff, lol. We’ve known chaff is an effective radar countermeasure since the 40s, and it seems like the researchers have found the lidar and optical equivalents of chaff. What really scares me is the idea of this evolving into more sophisticated deception attacks like range or velocity gate pulls. No idea how you’d do that with lidar or optically, but I’d bet money that’s a line item on a black budget somewhere

Warhammer 40k. I’m also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the “good at math and science” variety to support my “expensive hobby” variety

You’re thinking of the fourier series

And now for the second time in my life, I’m tempted to learn a bit more about the old gods of text editing. Damn you! /s

I admittedly didn’t look too hard for that 121bil figure, your source seems much better than the “Google it and grab the first number I see” approach I used. I see 91.36B gross profit for 2022 in your source. That makes the 36,500,000 fine ~0.04% of their profits instead or the 0.03% I got at first, equivalent to a $20 fine on 50k profit. I think the rest of what I said is still valid with the new numbers. Thanks for keeping me honest!

The only reason I like vim is because I’ve literally never seen a Linux installation that didn’t have vim. As a result, I know like 5 whole vim commands so I can still technically function on bare-bones installations. And even then, I only learned those 5 vim commands the first time I ran into a computer that didn’t have nano or pico

100k/day (36.5 million anually) is ~0.03% of Meta’s 2022 profits (121 billion). That’s not a fine, it’s barely even a tax. If you make 50k/year profit and the government gave you a similar fine, they’d be taking $15 from you. That sounds more like bribe money for Norwegian politicians than a good faith attempt to protect their citizens.

WSL has worked perfectly for my use case of “I need Linux to interact with the cluster I work on at school but I don’t have the time to maintain the hobbyist OS on my personal computers”

For what it’s worth, a chromebook using crouton to dualboot xfce was also good enough for what I needed, so I’m not exactly a power user
