NiMH also doesn't eat shit immediately if you deep discharge it once and leave it that way for a few days, which is my favorite thing about it. A lot of chargers are too dumb to recharge deeply discharged cells, though. Of my three NiMH chargers, only one will do it. I love eneloop batteries, but the eneloop bundled charger is trash...
Because China.
This isn't some anti-communist post.
We knew that already, because you were talking about China.
The only reason he'd need all that would be for some nefarious shit
Or they needed to bribe or hire a bunch of people.
That's not an "or".
everything the CIA does is nefarious. Doing dastardly deeds on our behalf is their job.
I am not paying taxes for the purpose of having feds violate the law, national or international.
In some ways, it feels like IBM buying Red Hat was as much about keeping anybody else from buying them (and changing them).
Yes, because IBM wanted to change them — from not violating the GPL, to violating the GPL. And that's exactly what they are doing by placing additional restrictions on the redistribution of sources delivered to customers.
It's for "import".
Maybe I'm just naive enough to believe that checks and balances have to work this way, but this is the first example in a while where it seems to me like the system is working.
They're the CIA. They don't need the FBI to wipe their ass for them, they chose not to wipe it. But the more important point is how was this considered a legitimate request to begin with? The only reason he'd need all that would be for some nefarious shit, like when the CIA imported cocaine in USFS planes.
The disconnect for Local ID10T is their assumption that IBM/Red Hat won't share the code with the upstream project, the people on the service just get the immediate backported patch before it has a chance to trickle down the usual channel from the upstream. Not that the code won't be shared.
Yeah, we thought IBM/Redhat followed the GPL, but then they started placing additional restrictions on the software sent to subscribers, which is a direct violation of the GPL. It is not a defense that they are doing it in a separate license either, because that's the only place where they could do it as the GPL is copyrighted, so they can't legally just add a clause permitting it there because they'd be creating an unauthorized derivative work.
Given that they used to not do this, but they are doing it now, what's to stop them from making the next step not contributing the sources upstream?
But why keep evidence of embezzlement at home?
Yeah, I think they forgot to include "stupid" in the long list of his faults.
From last November to March, the court papers say, Mr. Rush asked for, and received, "a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses."
The problem with the CIA is not necessarily that they exist, but that they apparently operate without oversight. What the fuck is this?
I'm surprised. I have a steam deck. I really don't use it. I find phone and PC gaming are much easier than holding that huge device.
Then this is a good time to sell it. You can get your money back or even maybe make a profit.
(The "orthodox" ones, in general, are too busy hanging strings and doing other silly stuff from 2000 years ago to be really active in politics).
Also stalking women. My lady was stalked repeatedly by orthodox Jews (and no one else) when she lived in NYC.
You might sound like less of a dick if you knew that lithium isn't a rare earth
And, from the World Nuclear Association:
Lithium is not a scarce metal. It occurs in a number of minerals found in acid igneous rocks such as granite and pegmatites, spodumene and petalite being the most common source minerals. Due to its solubility as an ion it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from brines and clays (hectorite). A conservative estimate of an average of 20 ppm is in the Earth’s crust, making lithium the 25th most abundant element.
With current reserves of 40–50 years; known, economically extractable reserves (roughly 28 million tons) of about 45 to 50 years at the current rate of exploding battery and electric vehicle (EV) demand; and untapped resources of 300+ years - and lithium can be recycled. (from Google)

* Pseudo-quotation: Putting a paraphrase or the general "gist" of someone’s argument inside quotation marks, rather than their literal verbatim words. Acts structurally like a quote, but semantically is a summary.
* 'Fictive Direct Speech (Esther Pascual): The structure of direct speech used to express a non-conversational concept, such as a belief, attitude, or general stance.
* Constructed Dialogue (Deborah Tannen): Used for "reported speech" - when people "quote" others in conversation, they are rarely reciting a literal transcript. Instead, they construct dialogue to dramatize a stance, represent a general attitude, or summarize a complex argument in a digestible way.
Sneer quotes (also called scare quotes) are similar, in that they summarize a person's stance, but have the distinction of also being dismissive of the person / stance as well.
That's not what "sneer quotes" do.
(And the quotes in the above are neither direct quotation nor sneer quotes, but use-mention distinction quotes, which let the sentence "know" that the thing in the quotes is the word/phrase itself, not what it refers to)
(And the quotes in the above are signaling quotes, to convey that a word is being used in an unconventional manner; it's a "clever" way to distance yourself from the word)
(And the quotes in the above are irony quotes....)
FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.
