Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.

I’d say it’s pretty damn difficult for both. The VFD speed is dependent on the gradient, just like the duty cycle of a conventional AC is.

Conventional ACs don’t “operate at 100% all the time” either. The compressor is cycled by the thermostat. You cannot calculate consumption of either without knowing the temperature gradient between the conditioned and outside space.

I can’t stand the proselytizing powered by privilege on so many planes. Whether it’s cost, availability, or time, people have many reasons for being mUrDeReRs. Nobody likes being condescended over things that are barely in their control as it is.

Free speech is merely an ill-defined right to speak without consequence from the government, not the right to a podium wherever you choose.

Ever hear of Windows NT? Legacy DOS code was relegated to userspace long ago. And NT was designed by Dave Cutler, the guy who designed VMS and RSX-11. Most certainly not “shit piled on top of shit.” Unix could have learned a thing or two from Dave but by then it was too late; the plane had very much taken off.

The Amiga’s OS was written in 68k asm and BCPL (C’s grandfather) for the kernel, and C was used for the utilities and GUI. But this was considered quite ahead of its time for a single user micro.

Most critical sections should be.

You’re thinking of Shit Jobs, the FruitCo charlatan. Gates’ pancake sort algorithm held the speed record for 30 years.

“Who the hell” writes an OS in assembler in the 80s? Uh, some of the utilities are in C, but compilers were slow and generated slow code back then, and it was quite noticable on a slow machine. When every byte of memory counts, you often need to hand-optimize.

His last product was the OS for the Tandy model 100 in 1983.

Yes, I oversimplified a bit. Using blocky:

Like my network-wide *.tiktok.com DNS blackhole?

As you said, the younguns don’t vote, and the ones dumb enough not to vote for Biden over this weren’t going to vote for him anyway. The sooner I never hear the phrase “on TikTok” again, the better.

Not many STDs. He can’t fuck. All his kids are from IVF.

I would pay $56bn to watch him get eaten alive by a bear.

That sucks and all, but at least we can still have guns!

Two pilots were on board. Apparently there were issues with the ship’s propulsion system at last inspection. My money is on a mechanical issue; if not, this was a monumental fuck up by the harbor pilots and/or the crew.

edit: lol, I am pleased with how this comment has aged. Yes, it was a power loss. Quick thinking and action saved lives. Bravo. Now it remains to be seen whether deferred maintenance or similar negligence were to blame; if so, people need to pay up.

It’s a property of fentanyl itself. I’m saying that outside of a clinical context, you don’t have the instrumentation necessary to dose it.

How the hell do you dose fentanyl safely outside of a clinical context? You cannot discern a lethal dose from a nonlethal dose with the naked eye.
