Might be helpful to have this hardware if you want to develop malware targeting systems in China.

Seems like Ukraine has updated that mantra.

You send your drone. We become a 3 body crematorium.

But somehow I wonder if kids may find it more boring than adults, because I would probably not get this movie as a kid.

I think it was aimed more toward tween and teen on the young side, and the “kid in all of us” on the older side.

I’ll agree that’s a good thing, but that depends on there being assets (likely in this case), but it also means workers may have to wait months or years before the bankruptcy proceedings are complete. That shouldn’t be a burden lower wage workers have to shoulder.

Start with Short Stories or novellas. A whole story from beginning to end in as short as 3 pages or as many as 30 or so. There are entire books of short stories (anthologies) in every genre you can imagine. You say you don’t have the patience. However, in the time its taken you to read this entire thread, you could have finished a short story. You’ve proven you have the patience.

Thats a very good point.

I’m not sure that was much of an issue for DVD. Historically VHS had those huge licensing terms for new releases ($90 for VHS), but the same rules didn’t apply to DVD (new releases $20). This was one of the main reasons VHS rentals died so fast after DVDs came out.

Also at least at one time, I remember Redbox was simply buying DVDs at retail stores instead of buying from retail stores for their disc inventory. I see that Walmart is listed as a creditor. That makes me think perhaps Redbox still was.

Sad to see this for two reasons:

1. Physical discs and the rental model have always been a fallback against oppressive streaming licensing, and with so few video rental stores left it Redbox was the last one standing.

2. It sounds like they missed payroll for their workers. No worker deserves to have their finances thrown into chaos because an employer can’t manage their books.

Thats no officer. That officer is made of cake.

The cake that is made twice as sweet lasts only half as long on the dessert table.

Thats the idea in concept. Its a bit harder than that though so thats why its not in operation yet.

Hmm, you’re making a good point and introducing two new not-yet-considered elements.

1. Wolverine is only 5’3" (160cm) tall. Was he originally taller, but had a body destroying even, that only 80% of him was able to grow back rendering him shorter than he was before.

2. Wolverine is Canadian. So neither the USA or Oz money rules apply, but instead Canadian rules. What those are, I do not now.

“Today class, we’ll look at the christian bible’s book of Genesis and its creation myth. We’ll refer back to our science class last week about life on Earth containing Carbon 14, and how it can be used to accurately date living things and how wrong the Genesis is. We’ll be comparing this to other creation myths such as the Greek and Norse versions.”

This was a shockingly good result when compared to the cost of producing this with a set, film crew, actors, costume/makeup, and post production.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, it has to be good enough to get your attention between the latest streaming show you or your kid is watching. It will absolutely do that for a tiny tiny fraction of the cost businesses had to pay before.

Just don’t fuck like a monkey and you will be safe

You can keep your slut shaming to yourself.

Among other things your advice isn’t an option for victims of rape, and in some parts of the world HIV is as widespread as rape.

Toy ‘R Us is alive and well in Canada too. There’s a Toy ‘R Us store 6 miles from Detroit in Windsor Ontario in Canada, as an example.

It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring?

I’m not in HR. In my experience there is good HR departments and bad HR departments. In both they were extremely busy all the time. There is a mountain of work HR does that has nothing to do with hiring and firing. Managing employee benefits, compliance with government regulations regarding workplace access, complex rules for reporting, tracking worker complaints and performance improvement plans for workers not meeting expectations.

“lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot developed by Gilead Sciences for the prevention of HIV.”

So its not a vaccine, but it would still be incredibly helpful in reducing the spread of of HIV.

I can think of one valid use case for this unsolved by any other solution:

Lets say a company has an SoC board base product currently currently base on ARM. They want to eventually migrate to RISC-V based solution.

If a company has a product currently written to use ARM compiled code, but wants to transition to RISC-V (which isn’t ready yet), they could deploy this board which could run today’s ARM implementation, and it would be future-ready when the RISC-V implementation would be released without having to replace hardware.

From the little I’ve followed on this topic, any kind of kinetic space junk cleanup (meaning physically touching or capturing the junk) is going to be very very limited in effectiveness for the majority of the junk. For really large things, like an entire satellite still intact, it can make sense, but these are very few of the space junk pieces in orbit today.

The problem is two fold: Space is huge and the junk is very far apart. There are hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk (mostly small).

The most promising approach to address the majority of the junk is a “directed energy” method. This would be using something like a laser to slightly push space junk into lower orbits where the thin air will slow it over time and it would fall back to Earth.
