I don’t love the idea of the Trump administration being in charge of creating a national ID system, but this maybe the best time to make one.
If Democrats proposed a national ID database the crazy ‘FEMA is coming to round us up’ republicans would freak out about it. As proven with Trump sending the national guard into D.C., as long as Trump does it they don’t care.
Starlink satellites are in low Earth orbit. They could still cause Kessler syndrome, but aren’t as much of a concern as higher orbits.
Here are some quotes regarding this from and Aerospace America article
Regarding satellite proliferation, while there are many more satellites, the company responsible for most of them, SpaceX, places its Starlink satellites in a low orbit so they can naturally deorbit relatively soon — within five or six years, per SpaceX — if they fail.
At around 400 kilometers and into the 500-km realm — home to ISS and the SpaceX Starlink satellites among others — atmospheric drag plays a major role. Dead satellites and debris usually slow and burn up in the atmosphere in just a few years. This natural cleansing process accelerates when the sun becomes more active and solar coronal mass ejections strike Earth and cause the atmosphere to swell. “In those altitudes, we can probably do a lot and we will be forgiven,” Linares says.
TY for the link! I started scrolling through the index, but with 621 Cogs it got a bit…daunting, I wish it had a ‘most popular’ or ‘sort by most downloaded’ option, but I understand why it doesn’t.
I always chug a beer/soda, open the top of the can using a can opener, and pour the grease into that.
NOTE: make sure all the liquid is out of the bottom of the can (maybe wipe it down with a towel) or else the grease may shoot back out
Here’s some quotes from this CNN article:
The breakdown was caused by failures in the copper wiring that transmits information from Long Island to Philadelphia, a source told CNN.
“What we use today is copper wires. We are one of the last institutions, last businesses, that actually use copper wires,” Duffy told reporters Thursday.
“We should be using fiber, but it’s copper. We use radar from the 1970s, some of them are from the 80s… So this technology is 50 years old that our controller has used to scan the skies and keep airplanes separated from one another.”
Some controllers still use floppy disks to upload data onto computers that date to the early 1990s, according to experts.
I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.
So, my buddy has played through a good chunk of the game and according to him you play as 2 characters: The first is a woman of Japanese descent who you get the classic ‘stealthy’ assassins creed experience. The second is Yasuke, which he has described as playing a ‘bull in a china shop’ where it’s all about beating the shit out of enemies and causing a ruckus.
Apparently playing as Yasuke is the most fun he has had in an assassins creed game in years.
As an FYI, (In the United States) all modern cars will have to have some kind of screen (whether built in the mirror, on the dash, or as part of the gauge system) as all cars are required to have backup cameras as of 2018.
Starting in 2029 all cars will be required to have automatic breaking technology as well.
We’re never going to be able to purchase new cars that are completely dumbed down ever again, but with how many lives it will save I’d say it’s worth it.
I’m glad that there are some companies that are willing to offer cars with the bare minimum of features at least. I personally would prefer having automatic windows over crank, but if someone wants to save money more power(har har) to them!
EDIT: weather vs whether
Isn’t this referencing some UFC fighter or something?
Ironically, the stock Lemmy UI does not, er at least it doesn’t for divisions by zero. Using Tesseract, I don’t visually see a difference between read and non-read posts, but if I hide read posts it clears out my feed, so it is definitely keeping track.
Well hot damn, works for me as well between Alexandrite and Sync for Lemmy!
At this point I just wish there was a way to change the color of read links vs. non read in Alexandrite. Maybe my eyes/monitor aren’t good, but it can be hard to tell.
according to the Contributing.md on the github it is missing some files that are included if you buy a copy of the game:
The BarotraumaShared/Content folder, which contains Barotrauma’s art, item XMLs, sounds, and other assets, is not included in the GitHub repository. If you have a legal copy of the game, you can copy the Content folder from the game’s files to BarotraumaShared/Content.
Yeah, according to the Contributing.md on the github it is missing some files that are included if you buy a copy of the game:

I know we are all on here because we dislike the kind of algorithms that tik tok, Instagram, and Facebook have, but that is exactly the thing my wife was looking for. When I had her download pixelfed and loops she was like ’ I have to search out content and manually follow people like I did with Facebook back in the day?’ and she uninstalled.
Algorithms can be addictive and evil, but for some people that’s what they’re looking for.
Oooh, this is a great idea! I’m bald AF now so might be a great way to capitalize on that
I would definitely get some ideas from the Internet, but verify them with a vet afterwards. If you feel like your current vets advice isn’t working don’t be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet (it’s what I would do with a human doctor as well).
Regardless of truck size, I don’t think tractor trailers are going anywhere. Even if we made trucks smaller those would still be out there
Smaller trucks would still get in accidents though, and I imagine they would be less deadly
Hell yes brother! Same. It’s always nice when I’m on the bus or an airplane and I can just break out wired headphones. No worries about charging them, they just work!
Mods, I appreciate this bot!
Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.
MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.
The AI/image recognition is more for when the drone gets jammed that it can still find it’s target.
