But, hey, did you know we already have flying cars? They are called planes. And helicopters. I'm not sure but i think they were invented like in the 2000's, i'm not really sure.

But seriously, I totally agree with you. The energy necessary to keep a car/plane airborne does not make it reasonable for us to have personal flying cars as if this was a good ideia. It won't be a good car nor a good plane.

And, agreeing with you again, to fly a regular plane people need lots of training, coordination with tower controllers, planes require a lot more of maintenance, etc etc. The moment flying cars become a real thing, the next day some 16 yrs old drunk rich kid will be news after, I don't know, killing some people after trying to show himself up to a girl (and of course it will be a man, not a woman).

It is because of these kinds of posts that I keep coming back to slashdot. The news? Usually not so interesting. But some comments are gold!

Made by Boeing, the giant aerospace company, the secretive US space plane was scheduled to land on October 2023, but due to manufacturing issues (the same that plagued some of its 737-MAX airplanes), the orbital vehicle was unable to go back to Earth and is circling the planet until atmospheric drag lowers its orbit and eventually bring it down.

The US military says they are doing experimental maneuvers with the space plane, but undisclosed sources told SpaceNews that communications with the vehicle were lost since last year, and engineers were trying to reestablish contact without success.

I'm do the same things like you described, except that I have never fasted (fasted? is it right?) for more than one day. 1, 2, 3 - same experience here , and those things are already described with charts and shit by science. This is not a criticism on your point, it's just a reinforcement of your point. About (4) - could you describe, like, what kind of "feelings" or limitations you experience when light-headed? I'm curious. Maybe I experience the same but I would not describe the same way. I have this opinion that humans beings eat too much nowadays. And I find it annoying having to eat, like, 4, 5 times a day (as recommended by _some people_). Toasted peanuts with some herbs and bread slices make a good dinner.

Comment from Brazil here: we don't even pay for the medication at the pharmacy. We just take it "for free" (taxes pay for it, of course). Since we have a centralized system (SUS - 'Single Helthcare System' literally translated), the government buys drugs in huge batches, which drive down costs for everyone, even the people who have to buy their medication for whatever other reason in drug stores. But this system, for about the last three decades, is obviously being attacked. What for? Private healthcare trying to get it and use for profits only. Of course. So, whoever says privatization of everything drives costs down and makes for high efficiency: go understand how Brazilian's public healthcare system (still) works.

...yet here I am, i5-2500, nothing to complain about. (I know, I know, pciE past, let's say, gen 3, is mostly really good for companies and servers).

Try it: type "Document 79" on google. Almost no results whatsoever. Made up news to - I don't know - reinforce some anti-China propaganda shit? It smells like conspiracy theories...

You guys from 'murica HAVE to pay to fill your earnings information to the government? So, this article tells me that, in order to pay taxes you have to pay someone or some company to do this for you? If you guys need any help to deploy a free tax information system, come visit Brazil. We have being doing that for, I don't know, 20 years already? Maybe more. And the software runs on Linux (it's java based), since it's very first beginnings.

I used Plex for quite a while and switched to Jellyfin some 2, 3 years ago, no big deal for me. Don't remember having to rename everything to make it work. It's quite usable, not as well polished as Plex was but it works pretty well. Its android app is free, chromecast works, parental controls are good enough for me, has HW decoding, subtitle download works ok. And finally: you can create additional users directly into jellyfin, without having to login into an external service (as plex requires) and share your media library with anyone with no hasle. I have no regrets moving to jellyfin from plex.

I risk saying that most of the people who buy this kind of thing in Brazil have no idea what's going on and how these TV boxes work. Streaming services are not cheap at all if you live on minimum wage. Moreover, most people here have internet access only via mobile plans, which have data caps like 10, 20GB a month at most. So, yeah, they are not going pay for a streaming subscription plus mobile internet access plus internet at home, which could amount to more than 10, 20% of their monthly income.

Também achei o nome horrível. Entendi o "sounds horrible" nesse sentido. Parece nome de vilão da Marvel, sei lá.

We can't believe he is saying this out of real knowledge. We just can't. I mean, YOU can't, things are good around here in the south (I'm from Brazil). There are many levels of stupidity (or, most probably, bad faith) in a comment like that.
