If you were in the wilderness with only 1 dose of Narcan and you had to choose between administering it to a drug addict dying from a bender, or their 8 year old that accidentally got into what was causing their parent to OD who would you give the single dose to? That is the kind of decision being made here.

This is pushing it. Sympathy for russian combatants will not be tolerated here, but, calling for the mass annihilation of russians is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Be happy Ukranians are just a little bit safer today. But cheer? No. Too much.

If it helps: their deaths were just.

I thought so at first too. The tank doing the shooting was the first to explode at the head of the line. I think it’s an auto-loader and something is resting on the fire control as the gun fires 2 times at nothing (the ‘FF’ doesn’t actually hit the other tank it hits ahead of it by about 5 m to the left) and the turret doesn’t move between shots.

But I do know that if people can’t ask questions in one place, they will go elsewhere to find their answers.

And if they truly wanted an unbiased, fact based summary of the reasons they really should go elsewhere like say a reputable neutral news agency. Around here the ‘reasons’ russia invaded Ukraine are unimportant. What are important are things like ‘how many innocent civilians were unjustly killed by at best careless russian attacks yesterday?’, ‘how is the fight to repel the unjustified invaders progressing’ and so on.

Wanting fresh water access and a naval base are no excuse for war crimes and disrespecting other nation’s sovereignty and it is disingenuous to come here and start talking like it is.

I feel like I’m trapped inside a propaganda machine where the answers to all questions are “Putin is evil and the dumbest person on earth”

That isn’t ‘trying to have a conversation’. That is projecting a straw man for no apparent reason with the sole purpose of shutting down any dialogue.

This conversation is over. Understanding that while russian deaths are tragic, Ukrainian deaths are both tragic and unjust. There’s a difference. Lamenting that war and its effects are awful is natural but while it is still ongoing people need to be clear when pointing out the tragedy that it is in no way implying defenders should be guilty for their actions (not saying anybody did). Russians are going to die every day they insist on occupying Ukrainian soil. This is an unfortunate, but also necessary fact. Any further dialogue on this gets bans.

The show is just good TV. The acting is good. The music is too. The writing is very good to the point they are confident enough to push limits, get meta, and rebuff the audience’s expectations while still consistently delivering. Even the least of the episodes is well worth the watch even if it is just the once.

As I see it, there are 2 flaws with your thinking: First, even a wildly manoeuvring missile eventually has to point the nose at the target and dive in. It is vulnerable then at the very least. Second, manoeuvring alone does not render something immune to interception. For example, fighter aircraft manoeuvre like crazy and they get shot down handily.

I hate musicals mostly. I think the original Annie was the only one I liked (because I was a kid and didn’t know better :P). I find musicals are a sign that the writers are running out of ideas and it’s the last season but this episode blew my expectations all away. It felt like an episode with singing, and not singing to skate by for an episode.

They didn’t disagree with it. They asked you why. Answer the reasonable query or accept that the obvious ‘because I crave attention’ will be what everyone is thinking.

It’s not a dumb law. Musk’s quote conveniently side-steps the truth. The way it was: Search/social media website provided pointless links to the news source while stealing the news and publishing it itself and earning all the ad revenue. Original news source: starved.

The way the law should have worked (and will as soon as Meta and X’s greed corrects itself): Search/social media websites provide link to news provider and gains ad revenue as normal. News provider actually gets visits to read their news and also earns ad revenue.

Yup. At least with Space-X the message seems to be ‘a variable that changes things with the space industry’. ‘X’ is just… a meaningless letter. My favourite is the meme that tweets will now be called Xcretes.

Would be nice if we went back to using the AA, AAA type batteries too. I’ve got like 20 rechargables still good and only need them for my controllers and remote. Everything else seems to have done away with them. :(

I’m thinking it should mimic the most common user agent available (guessing Edge’s whatever it is), refreshed on updates. At the very least it should be far easier to configure. As it stands changes in About:config are not recognized.

You know this whole post is doing absolute wonders for demonstrating exactly how reliable this particular Community apparently is. Seriously, posters linking articles with blatant ignorance of the subject matter, defending that choice (and their choice to link it demonstrating their lack of knowledge on the subject matter too), getting crazy up-votes from people who obviously don’t know any better and then your comment of ‘muh, Science vs Technology is an arbitrary distinction and totally not something where both rely on each other intimately’.

[Slow clap] thanks guys. Good to know if I ever need to cite how unreliable this community actually is I’ll forever have this exquisite reference.

shows more integrity than 95% of other news sites

Nah, there are many news sites that post corrections. This one was just so blatantly egregious that they had to put a stop to it before their entire corporation became a laughing stock. This isn’t just a ‘news site’. It is a Technology News Site. They had one job and they f’d it up. They shouldn’t even be hiring writers without a science degree let alone one that flunked highschool science.

Light is almost certainly the fastest thing around. So it makes sense that “light-based wireless communications,” or LiFi, could blow the theoretical doors off existing radio-wave wireless standards, to the tune of a maximum 224GB per second. [Edit, 2:40 p.m.: It does not make sense, and those doors would remain on each rhetorical vehicle. As pointed out by commenters, radio waves, in a vacuum, would reasonably be expected to travel at the same speed as light. Ars, but moreso the author personally, regrets the error. Original post continues.]

JFC is this really where you want to get your technology data from? Authors that clearly have no grasp of even the basest fundamentals in the physics involved? Really?

Jam packed with trackers for google.

It either needs way more work, or is more advanced than I can comprehend. 😂
