I went to highschool in Utah in the 90s and it was covered pretty well... No glossing over or anything, tho I don't remember it being in any text book, I just remembered it from regular lecture time in US history class

Trillian from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. People see the book as satire but she really knew where her towel was.

I dont know how much I believe the theater. This is tomorrow in Connecticut. 4:55 sold out but all the other times have zero to 7 people. Yeah it's a Sunday but I would t put it past thr gop to be artificially inflating box office receipts.

Polar bears and penguins lack the coordination for true kung fu mastery

Every body (in the blue area) was kung-fu fighting. The parenthetical part was removed for rhyme scheme

No. New Zealand is there. They were not kung-fu fighting. The places they were not kung-fu fight are cored white. It's just unfortunate that it is also the background color

I actually use fish on my personal machine. But the servers I manage are pretty basic to save space and all just use stock bash.

Not a command as much as I press the up arrow a lot. I'm.pretty lazy and hitting the up arrow 12 times is easier then retyping a complex rsync command.

In not really talking about possible, I am more talking real world running pressure.

I'm sure you can air up a car tire but at 90 psi it would be so rock hard that travel on it would be extremely uncomfortable. Also you would risk blowing it out whenever you went over a big enough bump. The tire volume inside would deform and cause a massive pressure spike.

Tractor trailer tires are made with more layers of rubber and steel belting so they can safely handle higher pressures.

Not in a car... But 10 or 12 ply truck/tractor/trailer tires can run around 90 psi

My point (i.e. the "high hopes" part) is that this sounds legit and awesome. I do my best to be an optimist, but I have been burned way to many times to not concede that there may be ulterior motivation afoot.

I have high hopes but my logical side says they can just be pandering like any of the other politicians: they know people support it, they know it will fail. They look good for backing it even tho they aren't worried about changing the status quo either

I'm not a big Morrissey fan, but he isn't wrong herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjPhzgxe3L0&t=26

Maybe it depends on the access point. When I turn it off on my router there are no beacons sent. Unless you specifically probe the ssid it doesn't announce itself. BUT granted when you make a connection the ssid does show up during the handshake. If you were watching at the exact moment of connection then it would be detectable. I suppose they could use a mass deauther device and cause new connections and detect while that is happening but they they would need to triangulate the location of said ap... Again a lot of extra equipment.

I would set up your router, turn off ssid broadcast and forget about it. It's doubtful they have the equipment to find an access point that doesn't actively announce itself to the world .

Edit: it means you will have to manually add your wifi network to your devices by typing in the ssid on them but other than that there shouldn't be any issues

The most interesting thing is my wife is 172, and I am 173. So I guess our blues are the same

Sounds cool but most of the folding phones I have seen are as thick as 2 phones stacked when folded. If this is now 3 phones thick I think it looses some portability unless you put new pockets on your pants.

How do you know he isn't already on a diet?

Not the point of this post but I think starship troopers did an excellent job of skewering the military, government, and the whole propaganda machine.

Something similar happend to me in Connecticut. Some underaged kid driving her father's SUV backed into my car in a parking lot. She got out, apologized. I took a picture of her, the car and the license plate. She apologized to me and called her father who told her to get back in and drive home. It took the police 6 hours to respond, finally around 2am. They took the details and looked up the vehicle which had expired insurance. They went to the owners house, found the vehicle and knocked on the door. When no one answered (at 3am) they gave up, closed the case and told me to take it up with my insurance because they were understaffed. My insurance company tried using them for 6 months but eventually gave up as well as the police basically refused to help with anything other then the report.
