Forgot my point: let's see if AI can fix that. I doubt it.

Real world situation I always run into: trying to find Spanish grocery stores. Spanish, not Mexican, not Peruvian, Spanish. Somehow, it seems to think that Spanish doesn't refer to "Spain". There's things you can't get in the US very easily unless you buy it at a grocery store that sells food from Spain.

Actually you can call a number of the underlying Linux system calls in Android, just not with Java. The same is true if you're writing a Java app to run on X Windows because you're passing through a layer that is akin to a VM. Some won't work because of sandboxing, though. IMO, a good thing.

British Columbia to the rescue. As of today, they've now abolished switching time and are on DST the entire year. The hope is that it will push the US to finally do the same.

How dare you make fun of the Poles! Polish jokes went out of style years ago.

You don't have and have never had a car payment? A mortgage? Credit cards? If you lived your life with a balanced budget like is being proposed, you have to pay for everything cash up front.

"Linux on the desktop" has mythically been like that for years. People always seem to forget that desktop Android devices are Linux on the desktop, though. Linux running X Windows is another story.

The most most annoying type of driver is the hypermiler.

The question for me is will such a station have a rotating chamber, where centrifugal force will provide a gravity experience for astronauts. What also dawns on me is that if a central pillar or multiple pillars are placed in a standard module, it would allow for a larger space station circumference as you're not as reliant on just being able to reach the edges of the station. Instead you have a continuous means of safely moving without being stuck in close proximity of the walls.

Yes, but what you're looking for more than anything is always knowing about the subpoena. Even under Swiss law, a subpoena can be kept quiet for 30 days. After that, they have to disclose that your account has been subpoenaed. A fully up to date self-hosting mail server means you almost always have to be the one who gets the subpoena. There's still the whole being broken into issue.

Potentially easier manner: go to Walmart out of town and, buy a reloadable credit card, and only refill it with cash gotten from an ATM in your home town a few days before. If you really want to go next-level, always go to that town to refill it. If you go to other cities with your city at the "center" of where you go, it becomes easier to track you, This makes tracking more difficult. A cash withdrawal from an ATM from your normal ATM card in your hometown withdrawing a normal amount can further cloud investigations, but the refill must take place in that other town. Don't ever use the "burner" card in your hometown.

I use a plugin that maintains the classic tab look. And for Windows 11, I remain on Windows 10 ESR. I have another 3 years with no UI changes. I also have old Windows 11 media, so I can install it without an email account.

I do find that when using ChatGPT, it does stop working well a lot sooner than other browsers.

I personally like the lack of type checking. It often makes the world a lot easier because I'm not trying to dig up some function to convert from the current type to something else. I remain a big fan of DWIM. Regardless, Javascript was developed by somebody who wanted to break OOP, with no real benefit to anybody except his weird sensation with doing it.

I for one look forward to planting a palm tree in my front yard.
