People keep saying it's hard to get a non-blurry picture of them.

Some have suspected somebody has gravity bubble tech which would bend the light.

This thing just spins but isn't itself a disc, though on average it's s disc while in motion.

Post WWII-Germany/Paperclip there were more visible saucers seen over Washington and such but the Germans were developing solid discs. The blurry ones are more over the past few decades as drone tech has become common.

Curious.

I'm told by attorneys that Office is nonnegotiable in Law.

Microsoft could probably raise the price to $500/mo and they'd get it.

Should a citizen be required to pay a creepy Redmond company to interact with the Courts?

It"s at least Unconstitutional in New Hampshire, likely other states as well.

Not that Courts themselves care about Unconstitutionality very often. Nor do they personally pay anything for Office. Empathy tends to be low.

But if one wants to make a decent argument that is a good one.

Agree, but finals are over and many teens and college kids are the ones running linux.

"Windows is for Boomers" they say.

It's at least plausible that usage dipped as the end-of-year school workload spiked.

Make sure your camera is capable of 25 frames per second, and look at every 25th frame. Pretty trivial, actually, and with a large memory card, you have 360 video as good as most movies.

You missed the part above where they just took control of the data center and started running their own models.

That's like saying that all a new pharmacist needs to learn to get started in dispensing is one book: The PDR. The information on the medications is in there, the knowledge to comprehend it is not. If you had an infinite amount of time, and one of the really well-documented versions of Unix, what you say is true, for an educated and/or talented user. But not all man pages are very good, and some are missing entirely and it's not obvious where to find the documentation.

Some things are also only documented in the pages for programmers, but I've never seen a Unix system come with the kind of documentation you'd reasonably need to start learning C, or in most cases even shell scripting (although the modern bash man page is pretty good!)

Your post looks like how to get into trouble when stepping off of pavement, I think the humor is too subtle. :-)

I feel like it is more complete ignorance of the outdoors, high tech being a secondary thing. Analog gear has some advantages but its not idiot proof. One can hold a mechanical compass near something magnetic. There are some phone apps with downloadable topo maps and that are more oriented to wilderness use than the built-in map app.

The thing that freaks me out the most is 1/2 L of water. To me that speaks the loudest with respect to being utterly unprepared for a wilderness setting. I’m afraid to discover what they had in the event of a change in the weather.

However, they are very cryptic with brevity seemingly valued over understandability.

Agreed. However, all a new user needs to learn to get started in a CLI is one command: man. Once you have that, and a little practice in understanding what it's saying, you've got everything you need.

You missed the part above where instead of a bail out they get turned over to the government.

You're confusing the breaker sizing with the wire sizing. Code requires the breaker to be about 80% of the safe capacity of the wiring to maintain this safety margin. Breakers allow the rated capacity, continuously -- and even allow a little more for short periods.

If you read what I wrote, you didn't understand it.

Feel free to ask for clarification, or simply to point out any parts of what I wrote that you find unclear. I'm looking for ways to better explain this.

I suspect a very strong fear of missing out with a weak risk / reward sensibility.

Their AI will be doing the crypto trading for them. Its kind of a match made in ...

General public believes whoever has the most money deserves it.

Then someone new has the most money, what happened to the old guy? Fell out of God's favor? Never mind all that, we're looking at the new shiny shiny, we've got no time for any other kind of reflection.

Prosperity theology is the dominant belief system. To the winner go the spoils.
