That looks awful, but to be fair I have been driving on Highway 401 at the end of a long weekend (I’m usually going in the opposite direction, thank God), and the slowdowns start about 100 km from Toronto.
In Japan, on holidays like Golden Week, you sometimes get an entire highway, 75 km or more, stopped.
Yes. That was a quick close of the web browser for me.
I don’t know if you have a website, but my $5/month shared web host allows me to set up a git server, and I think many of them are similar.
I get three to five spam emails every day from Republican agents asking “Patriots” to send money to help defend against the woke liberals. They keep changing the subjects and domains sent from, so it is difficult to block them effectively.
The kicker is that I live in Canada, and have never lived in the US or been eligible to vote in a US election.
That guy looks so much like he’s wearing a fake mustache.
For me, obsolete often means that I can no longer repair an important tool if it breaks. If I can’t get a replacement hard drive or video card or power supply for my ancient Windows computer, I need to think about getting a new computer, just to minimize risk.
Or the dozens (hundreds?) of hours that Robin Williams spent as libbing as the genie in Aladdin. I think it was in his contract that they couldn’t even use it anywhere else
Just have a look at what’s going on in ukraine. Once they started using drones, the drone were attacked through their wireless connections. Now they trail fiber optic cables for control. What does that say about the relative reliability and security?
I hadn’t thought about it, but those may have been the first books I absolutely adored.
After that, I got into Perry Rhodan, a German science fiction serial that has been published weekly since 1961 (yes, they are past issue #3,300 now).
They translated about 140 into English, and I had every one, hunting through used book shope to complete my collection.
I have gone back to read some, and at least the early ones really were abysmal in writing, plotting and early 1960s prejudices. At the time, the scope of the space opera – and the fact that there were so many of them – thrilled me.
1 hour border Collie had surgery, I saw that where her fur was white, the skin was pink, and where the fur was black, the skin was also black.
I’m still using my Amazfit Bip. When new, it could go 6 weeks on a single charge. After about 7 years, I still get about 2 weeks – enough for me not to bother looking for a replacement.
They also took into account that a certain number of the workers would die from accidents and disease (see: the Panama Canal) and they were okay with that.
Other people are way ahead of you:
Steven Donaldson had his first Thomas Covenant novel rejected by 27 publishers before it was finally bought.
This makes me think of Inform, which compiles English sentences into interactive fiction.
Big Joe Mufferaw, by Canada’s own Stompin’ Tom Connors (because I’m planning to play it at the open mic this Friday).
My crystal radio would beg to differ, sir/madam!
In 1996 I got a copy of Yggdrasil Linux as a CD in the back of a large book, about 1,000 pages. I believe that it was simply a printout of all the man pages, although it might have had instructions on installing and basic Linux usage.
Well, not terribly subtle, but if you are fighting with your spouse and they complain that you never say anything nice about their family, you can respond with:
“Well, I have to say that your in-laws are better than my in-laws”
