Red paint.


I recommend Paul Fellows, who has a large catalog of brief astronomy lectures under his “Once Around” series.


Found the microbrain.


Remember when Futurama joked that the iPhone cost $500?


Yeah if 4 people uninstalled the program last time, and 6 people uninstalled it this time, that’s a 150% increase from last time.


I accept your reality and add it to my own.


Pixelfed I think? Though it’s developed by the same guy as whatever the Instagram clone is called so it’s been kind of slow to become usable?


I will assert that, again, for most people, instead of computers remaining at the same TDP but increasing vastly in processing power, they would have been fine with the same processing power at vastly decreased TDP. Look at how long people held onto Win 7, and how long they held onto Win XP before that. Because they were fine, possibly better than the new offering, especially since you already owned it. Some time around 2012, anyone who wasn’t a power user ran out of reasons to get excited for new computers.


Don’t we have that?


That tracks.


I’m 100% okay with how my Samsung Galaxy handles it: You access the Developer mode by pressing on the phone info screen in the settings for several seconds, and then there’s a switch that allows execution of random .apk files.
“Yes, do as I say.”


For most people, computers became powerful enough around the year 2005. A machine from late in the Windows XP era could run 3D games, CAD software, edit video, communicate with the entire world through broadband internet. What abilities have PCs taken on since? So much processing power filled up by doing the same tasks less efficiently for no reason.


If you want those things you need to deal with national, state and municipal governments for contracts.


Saturation diving. It’s my understanding that they actually haul them up to the surface between shifts, they just keep them in a pressurized vessel to keep their bodies at high pressure. They make bank working a fraction of the year, and for good reason.


Go dig a trench the length of every city street in the world, and come back and tell me how easy that was.


The dreaded Wii U Fit.
In aviation circles they always called it “standing water” here meaning “the surface is liquid not a wet solid” Airplane tires also have very simple or no tread at all, so that isn’t a factor. There’s also the fact that during the landing roll, the airplane is partially or even mostly supporting its weight on its wings still; so at any significant airspeed you don’t have 100% of the ship’s weight on the wheels.
An airplane tire will hydroplane at a speed in knots equal to nine times the square root of the tire pressure in PSI. The real trick is undoing the little cap on the tire valve and reading the tire gauge while turning left base.


It is my understanding that iOS does not support Syncthing.
