Yeah:

I remember the polls were reporting that after the 1st few poll-stations reported, then suddenly ALL the poll-stations were reporting that 2/3rds of the votes were for the guy who won, & there was no variation anymore.

You can’t get more fake than that.

DEET is the only chemical that I know-of which they HATE.

I use mosquito-netting to keep them away from me.

I don’t want DEET touching me, at all, ever again.

No, I’m not a mosquito.

Obviously, the EU hasn’t the spine to eject Hungary, so Putin’s Ally/Representative in the EU will remain disabling the EU’s strategy, in all ways possible…

I wonder how many extra thousands of EU troops will die in the escalations of Russia’s aggression, through the next decade(s), as a result of their current-spinelessness?

( remember the English appeasers of Hitler helped the Nazis, & remember that Stalin was providing supplies to the Nazis right up until the day they invaded Russia. Having spine enough to do what is correct/proper isn’t common-enough )

1 is narcissism/cult-of-personality,

the other is cult-of-institution/inertia.

They are not identical, and not even functionally-equivalent.

I think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.

Don’t push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

0.0000000021g/kg

or 0.0000000000021kg/kg, if you wanted the same units both sides…

( I’m presuming this was your last-line’s request )

IF you’ve a high-efficiency charger, then I’d say it’s probably more-efficient to use that charger.

The warmer you run your computer, the less-efficient it becomes, & the shorter the lifespan of the hottest chips in it ( this effect shouldn’t be significant )

e.g. increasing a CPU by 10Celsius should cut its lifespan in half.

by having more heat-generating-stuff going on in your computer, you impair the cooling of your CPU & GPU ( slightly, probably ), & that may affect your computer’s time-to-failure.

Fan-bearings may dry-out sooner, too.

hth, eh?

Whether true or not, I don’t know.

I DO know, however, that humans are not institution-puppets without any internal-motivations.

IF they did do so, THEN that doesn’t mean Al Jazeera was in any way complicit.

Apparently there’s some problem at The Washington Post, now, with the guy in charge of the news-room having participated in a crime, & now is ejecting people who have journalistic-standards…

Does that mean they all are guilty of what he did?

How could it?

We’re in an age where considered-reasoning is being displaced by dogwhistle ideology/prejudice, & it’s required for humankind’s survival, that we get competent in journalism’s methodical & careful discernment.

All of us.

Our kind’s life IS at stake, this century.

We’re already IN the 6th great extinction: humans ARE exterminating the marine & terrestrial ecologies.

Use IBM’s “wipe” command, not just rm -rf.

Wipe overwrites the files ( you don’t need to use the default many-times method: that’s for spinning-platters ), but it makes undeleting stuff require serious work, instead of just some fs-surgery, if that’s significant to/for you.

wipe is available with many distros, iirc.

The amount of power you could pull from a single square metre of solar on the roof wouldn’t increase your range meaningfully.

What it would do, is that you could possibly keep your starter-battery from going dead-flat if you left your car alone for a 1/2 month, in the summer ( snow would cover it, obviously ), & since bringing a lead-acid battery to dead-flat permanently-damages it, this would prevent costly problems for the car-owners.

( this happened to a friend with a Prius: had to replace the battery, and the damned thing was inside the rear wheel-well??? in a little compartment.

Origami-engineering’s … simultaneously incredible & stupidly-frustrating )

I’ve held for years that they should be doing it to keep the starter-battery trickle-charging, but … why make the customers have fewer costly/frustrating problems?

His tactical-plan is that he won’t be accepting any of the consequences of his policies.

You don’t improve a country’s economic-engine by eradicating education’s foundation.

But so long as he’'s rich, & his privilege is protected, he can’t care what damage is done to his inferiors…

Kinda similar to the ones doing likewise north of there, eh?

I’ve lived in XFCe for years, awhile ago, now use LXQT.

XFCe had this goddamn thing where windows had a 1-pixel thick window-grabber.

There was no means of fixing it, that I could find.

UbuntuStudio.org used XFCe, too, btw…

Eventually I got sooo fed-up with the broken UX that I just committed to never using XFCe ever again.

That was sometime in the last few years…

some brain damage: malnutrition tends to aggravate or cause brain damage.

I’m a brain damage survivor: it sucks, it takes decades to undo ( neuroplasticity takes time to do rewiring ), and life is never going to be what it could have been.

Don’t damage people’s brains.

'tis a good rule, eh?

Canuck is what we call ourselfs, eh?

Notice his gaslighting:

he’s actively warring to destroy as much of the Palestinian population as possible, & eradicate them from their lands,

& he puts this forward as the real problem, or the key to solution…

Misdirection

Depends on the religion, I’d say…

to me, though, it’d be a mental-illness to want one.

Space-suits must operate this way, if inadvertently…

The number of decibels at the rocket-nozzles is waaay higher than what it would be “at the top of the candle”, but … there’s pretty-much nothing in Nature as loud as those things are, except meteorites, maybe some volcanoes, being inside of lightning, etc…

Fucking fool:

Trump’s going to back Putin directly, against East Europe, gutting NATO, & Zelenskiy is goading him to be enemy?
