I would have brought up Powergen Italia if it hadn't already been debunked. There is such a company, but they sell batteries. This was documented over 20 years ago.

You just know it will get called the latter, just like Capital One (Cap It Alone), Experts Exchange (put the space before the "s"), Parts Express (same), and Pen Island (do I really have to spell this one out?). In this case (and I suspect in Pen Island's case) this is not by accident. The name was chosen because it can be corrupted in a humorous way.

Carbon fiber is as black as graphite. Have you never seen the stuff for yourself? The epoxy can be clear but the CF cloth is very much not.

I would guess that he'd rather be able to say "they liked it, so they bought it from me" than "I didn't want it back".

It did come apart into three pieces, which could be seen but the seams were made fairly tolerable. From that I'd gather it was hollow with some sort of framework inside and a skin, not a solid chunk of bronze. Moving it would be a project, but not a "had to take out a wall" kind of project like moving a newspaper printing operation.

That would explain why the Magyar Birds are racking up around 10% of enemy soldiers killed. This does need to be handled with some caution so that the metric doesn't become the purpose, and new operators still get something because it's not their fault they don't have a history or rank or Elo or whatever they're using. Also you don't want to incentivize tactics that might get the operators located and shelled, which might not be detected and exploited immediately but like a pitcher tipping his pitches, someone is eventually going to notice.

For all you know, they could be using an SD card that can only sustain 10 MB/s. You could argue that it shouldn't be enabled by default, or that it should only be enabled by default if the storage device is slow, but that's not the same as arguing to remove it entirely.

Serves the sheep right for trying to eat my dental floss bushes.

Let the patrons pick the music, and pay for the privilege. Then you don't have to worry about covering costs, unless you're stuffing bills in the machine yourself when the place is empty.

This might actually be an improvement in some ways, as it could eternally make up new tracks and never have to loop. It would be better than the same four songs on infinite repeat, even when they're four good songs.

I knew someone with a life-size bronze sculpture of a horse rearing up. It was given to him as a wedding gift and he absolutely hated it. But it was basically a white elephant he couldn't get rid of or conceal, so he posted it in the lobby of his company HQ, where it actually got a lot of positive comments. Everyone was happy, including the people that gave it to him, but just to make sure he never had to take it home, he later sold it to the company for $1. As far as I know, it's still on display.

There is no dark side of the moon, really. Or the darker side is the one we can see, the one with the huge lava flows. But those socks probably disappeared while still wet, right? This would explain the water ice at the bottom of the permanently shadowed craters. So the place to look is going to be in craters near the poles.

Then the kid uses the landline to reach dial-up BBSes and now you have TWO problems. ;)

Why not try to be a Suno competitor and use the Napster name to generate an unlimited supply of fake music? TBH, they didn't even have to wait this long, "fake music" generation has been around for decades. All they had to do was insert a few automated polishing steps so it doesn't sound like it came straight out of a 1990s video game.

This is like buying a calculator with the Vivitar name on it (something I've done, but not for the name, I just liked the form factor) -- what's that got to do with an optics company? Company names have value only when they can provide some expectation of what a product might actually be.

On the bright side, we appear to be getting Commodore back out of the "license the name to random non-computer products" hellhole.
