So you’re saying which empires/systems exactly then?

Spain perhaps? The Holy Roman empire?

I mean, there’s Russia.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t really want to call them competent, but their planes are modern. And for Christ sake, we should be squaring off with them in Ukraine.

Yeah… Fighter jets don’t really get bricked.

A brick is when you’ve messed something up to the point where the hardware doesn’t boot and the only possible solution would be to pull out a rom chip and replace it with one with factory settings, but that’s too hard and not worth doing.

But that’s the thing, with the F-35, it’ll never be not worth doing. It could be a $5000 setback… But whatever.

What the fuck!

I just read the article, and I think it’s completely misrepresenting the bill! From what I can see, the article is just inventing this link to the chemtrails conspiracy.

Does this bill ever mention the word “chemtrails” or “contrails”, at all?

From what I can tell, the bill is completely talking about cloud seeding, which is definitely its own thing. Cloud seeding is fraught enough, it’s a relatively complicated issue with very serious environmental impacts, it does not need to be mixed up chemtrails which are a bullshit conspiracy theory (the opposite of a serious issue).

Hey Alabama Political Reporter go find your journalistic integrity, I think you dropped it somewhere.

In his defense, the comment didn’t say shit about breakthrough research, it said “watch this”.

Say what you want to say and people won’t dismiss it. Link to something random and who knows.

I’m with you on dogs.

But i’d never trust a cat… They know why.

It’s true, at some point it becomes a necessity. I don’t know what to do about teens today, I haven’t gotten there yet.

It appears, Texans.

300mw are indeed a much different scale from 10mw.

I wonder if your ire is misplaced… As these are sort of different things. The 10mw reactors have different use cases, they’re not really designed to be installed as part of a power plant, but more for individual on-site uses, like as a reserve power system for a hospital, or as power for a remote mining location, disconnected from the grid.

My point is just, it might make sense to not mention the larger reactors here, as they’re not really the same.

My understanding is that it’s not policies they implemented, but rather technologies they developed and officially utilized. They have some sort of digital id system. I don’t recall the details, but I remember reading about it and saying to myself “oh my God, I’ve been asking for that for ages, and Estonia has already done it!”.

Essentially the idea is that you get private keys along with your birth certificate. So you can always prove you’re you.

Yeah, don’t give them phones.

Heh, I guess I wouldn’t say I “speak” it, but between programming games and actual coding, I think I’ve used 4 or 5 different dialects of assembly.

language that nobody speaks in your region

I realize this is a bit pedantic, but if you live in a city, there aren’t really languages that aren’t spoken in your region.

But for my choice, definitely Aztec. There’s nothing more fun to say than Aztec words. Tlachtli. Quetzalcoatl. Axolotl. Tlapalpoyactic.

(That last one is the word for the color “orange”)

This might be the broadest question ever asked.

Yeah, to assert that there is no alien life out there is really the more bold position. We don’t have real evidence to support either side of the argument so any strong assertion (for or against) is rather dubious.

Got caught? They ran a Superbowl ad bragging about it…

They just thought we’d all love the idea for some reason.

I asked someone else, but I hope you don’t mind me asking you as well… With the FP6, 5g works as well? Any issues with MMS or RCS messages? Visual voicemail works fine?

I am trying to find a new phone, and while there are a few different companies making repairable phones, (Fair phone, HMD, shift) most of them are aimed at EU markets, so I want to make sure that a majority of the features also work in the US. My goal it’s to find something that will work for me, my wife and my in laws that won’t be a hassle. (Because, I do the tech support for all of them, and ideally I’d love to support just 1 device)

Awesome! And just to clarify, 5g works as well? Any issues with MMS or RCS messages? Visual voicemail works?

I ask because I am actively looking for a replacement for my 4a, it really is at its end of life at this point.

I was also considering some Nokia/HMD phones,as they made good scores on the ifixit repairability scale. Apparently HMD (who actually make Nokia phones) has a whole line of phones where their goal was modularity/repairability. It’s just been unclear which of these phones actually work on US networks.

There’s also shift phones out of Germany, but same deal, will they work on US networks?

I’m guessing the EU has some incentive programs to help these phones exist, but as a result, they’re mostly aimed at EU markets and networks.

Haha, your username is ironic, you’re not even honest to yourself!

No… You need a phone you can fix if you don’t break your phones all the time. That’s how you use the same phone for 6 years, like my pixel 4a. I haven’t upgraded to another pixel because the newer ones all have some deal breaker, no SD card slot, or a non removable battery, or no 3.5 mm headphone port.

But if you keep a phone for 6 years, they need maintenance. A speaker stops working, the battery life drops to nothing, the touch screen digitizer fails, etc. And then you need to be able to open it up.
