The AfD reflexively gave a statement that any suspicions against their MPs are completely unwarranted.

Traffic circles are. Roundabouts are okay.

In addition to what has been mentioned already, Garuda is an Arch derivative where convenience is the whole point. No install scripts, just your usual live ISO with a Calamares installer plus a bunch of convenience utilities once you’re set up.

It’s not exactly lightweight by default but it does make for a very comfortable Arch experience.

Perhaps they were thinking of an American doctor.

The bowling pins are for hitting the patient on the head because that’s the only anesthesia they can afford. The ducks are the little birdies circling the patient’s head after the anesthetic bludgeoning has been administered.

The first gun is there because America and the second gun is so you can double-tap the patient in case you suspect they might be an immigrant.

You know I know that you’re not telling the truth.

I’m just waiting for their reaction when everyone is supposed to use cloud desktops and the average application assumes the user has 128 GB of RAM.

RoboCop did. So this is just like RoboCop; a pro-constitutional reform spokesperson was killed by a counterreformist gang and got most of their body replaced by a soulless megacorporation to help them privatize proreformist publicity work. The difference is that this megacorporation didn’t have any robot parts so they used a snow leopard instead.

Obviously.

Also, according to certain “news” publications and an army of totally legitimate people on the internet, he’s as incompetent as he’s evil and he’s singlehandedly responsible for every single problem anyone in Germany has had for the last 20 years.

It’s called group exercise. You’re welcome.

No. Firstly, no means of contraception is 100% effective; stacking them further reduces the likelihood of unwanted conception. Defense in depth is your friend.

Also, sometimes people can catch something without being aware of it. He might have an infection he’s not aware of. You might have one. The condom protects both of you. If you want to do it without, get yourselves tested.

And all of that is under the assumption that everyone is honest and has the best of intentions, which… isn’t always the case.

And exist in a system that can only support two parties, which means that the most effective strategy is not to convince voters that your pictures are superior but to convince them not to vote for the other party. Cue a race to the bottom.

Well, the content is the same and it works the same as far as I can tell. I’m not terribly attached to the old domain name when the (rebooted) radio works just fine.

As long as the penguins haven’t discovered warp drive, that is.

You mean this Nectarine Demoscene Radio? https://scenestream.net/demovibes/

Remember: If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the precipitate.

My girlfriend got herself a pair and taped them to corners of her desk. She doesn’t want to turn on the light when she gets up at night but she also doesn’t want to bump into the desk. Tritium vials fit that use case well.

Could we have gone with dimmable lights or something homebrewed with low-power LEDs? Sure, but tritium vials are affordable and don’t need a power supply, a remote, or much in the way of setup; they’ll just keep doing their thing for about a decade before you have to even think about their light output.

They’re a solid choice if you have the specific use case of wanting something to be easily located in (near-)complete darkness but you don’t want to use electricity for some reason.

Is that dog driving a car?

Nope, Chuck Testa!

This isn’t the first time the AfD has asked for information on German defense capabilities and transport routes. In November, similar espionage concerns have already been voiced; back then they had already made 7000 separate inquiries.

Totally legitimate party with only the best interests of the country at heart. (Well, depending on which country you mean.)

Unless other situations where the established technology wins due to inertia, sodium ion batteries have two benefits that make them interesting regardless:

Firstly, they are safer. A punctured sodium ion battery doesn’t catch fire, which massively simplifies safety design. That makes them very attractive for certain scenarios, especially ones where density is a secondary concern. That in turn means they get further development money instead of withering on the vine.

Secondly, they require fewer hard-to-obtain materials, which makes them attractive from a strategic perspective. This one should be less important than the safety factor but it’s also relevant.

I’m pretty sure we’ll actually see wet sodium cells in the wild if they are actually practical. Sodium ion tech is already being commercialized and if this brings it within the same ballpark as lithium ion then it becomes a very interesting choice for vehicles due to instant crash safety gains.

I mean, they’re trying. Not very successfully as of late but they are.
