Family, at dinner: "Thank you, Jesus, for this food."
Jesus, in a farm field: "De nada."

How many years of electricity bills does it take to reach $120k? For me, it would be about 50 years -- considerably longer than I could reasonably expect the solar power system, and maybe my already-50-year-old house, to last.

You might want more antitrust enforcement and blocked mergers, but it's characteristically dishonest for you to say there have been zero of either.

An apparently human error, not a facial recognition one, unless you would call any other case where a chain sends out a picture of an innocent person and says "do not admit this person" a "facial recognition error".

The criticism is over the qualifier for the word "error", not the label as an error.

... and points out that Vienna has almost laughably mild weather: barely below freezing (-2 C) at its winter lows, and barely above warm (+27 C) for its summer highs. Unless the intention is to relocate all cities to places with such nice climates, it's not a useful "Model for How to Tackle the Both the Climate and Housing Crisis". And rooftop solar is theoretically fine, although usually so expensive as to never recoup its capital costs, in a single-family house with a good battery storage system, but it's not going to do much to reduce power usage in a typical multi-family apartment building.

It's still open; police have only arrested two of the three suspects:

Note that the second story makes it clear that this flight was because of gang affiliations, not because of xenophobia. See also https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/... .

They can be, but TFS makes a strong suggestion that they are also, metaphorically, tulip bulbs.

No. I'm visiting Australia right now, and AEST is only 7 AM right now. When this story was posted, it wasn't 2 PM Friday anywhere in the world.

$280 is 35% less than the current price of $430, genius.

That generation of console doesn't have PCIe 5, though -- only PCIe 4. The PS5 uses standard M.2 NVMe drives, but wants them to be high speed (~7 GB/sec). As a result, one can get 4 TB of extra PS5 storage for between $250 and $280; that's a third less than this storage card, and you can use the PS5 drive in a PC if you want.

In the US, I've only ever seen it abbreviated as BS.

I know what really happened: Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket, and refracted light from Venus. It wasn't an alien ship, it was just an all natural flashy thing.

I read just fine. I was responding to a comment that blamed the $150 price difference from the Switch to the Switch 2 on Trump. That comment wasn't taking about some alternative timeline where Nintendo did something it hasn't or tariffs that don't apply did.

The MSRP for the Switch 2 is the same today as when the thing was announced: https://www.tomsguide.com/gami...

Sure, just like language fluency should be the least important aspect of reporting, and sewing up a patient should be the least important aspect of surgery. You want to get good at those things because they are still necessary, and because you spend as little time as possible on them while doing them well.

It's also funny to see a coworker's expression the first time they walk up, you turn your head and type another three lines while listening because it takes almost no attention to empty a mental buffer with under 2% error.
