It makes sense that a long-lived species would take longer to develop
So then what is the point of Yoda being immensely old? Is he basically 63 in Yoda years?

I really wish that Git had stayed as a stand-alone free service for Linux developers.
It did. The authoritative upstream repository for the Linux kernel is hosted at kernel.org, not GitHub.
How can this be seen as a victory?
The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.
If they leave them there, the next administration might be able to switch them back on and start gathering woke climate science data again.
Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.
Literally hundreds of scientific papers have been published using data from the OOI
Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.
What? I have one. It's hooked up (through an adapter) to the VoIP port on my fiber router. It rings and everything.
Exactly.
You expect me to believe the thing that provided some income disparity relief for a large percentage of remote workers (same pay, lower costs from relocating) is at fault for others not having jobs? I've worked (remotely) with young people. They seem eager and capable, far more so than most other age demographics.
This is just companies finding excuses, looking to claw back more control.
It sounds like you don't understand how the court system works. The SCOTUS only hears cases which are brought before it, and then selectively.
Which cases specifically do you feel indicate corruption on the part of the SCOTUS? There are definitely some dissenting decisions which don't adhere to the US constitution, and there is definitely a long running theme in the courts of activist judges re-interpreting well defined language, and perhaps (probably) even a couple judges who are compromised, but I'm not aware of any evidence of corruption.
Grogu is already 50 years old so that might explain his powers.
Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?
I just got one, but I am in Europe and our economy is not systematically being destroyed.
How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?
I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.
Hmmm
Not much. Plutonium isn't like uranium, it's effectively safe for human contact outside its fissioned form. This has been pretty well documented.
This is a step forward which is a long time overdue. It should've happened 30 years ago, and we'd have averted having to depend on China for our electricity production (wind + solar) without the net-zero production problems those two 'sources' introduce.
It's still 0% Zig so that's not great.
Minimal justice, if we want to split hairs.
It's a concept called defense in depth, and perhaps also defensive programming. It's good practice. You do not want to hold things off at the gate exclusively, because that relies entirely on your gate defense. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand.
Yes, it's potentially more difficult to exploit, but if it's known, a clever exploit can still be fashioned to expose it. This is being seen increasingly with AI driven exploits. You don't need a kernel RCE to gain full system access - you need 3 or 4 small privilege escalation bugs (theoretical problems) in different packages that are commonly used.
You're viewing the waves for the ocean.
There's also been recent research that shows that plasma actuators or electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow control effectively eliminate drag. I'm not sure why this specific TFA gained publication but the ionic charge did not.
