I believe the plan was to give that sobriquet to Lake Michigan, in honour of its decidedly flaccid silhouette.

I had a problem where AI scrapers were absolutely DETERMINED to fish out every possible query string from a search results page. Almost all of the query strings they tried were invalid due to shitty and dysfunctional string substitution. "&page=100" wouldn't be followed by "&page=101", it would be followed by "&pag&pag=1010" or something even more insanely half-baked, until the query strings were like 100+ characters long. It was the technological equivalent of watching HIV mutate in real time.

But the insane thing was that, aside from page number, they were always requesting info about the same other criteria: filtered by the same user, the same page type, and with no text string. So I just took those particular values and started banning logged-out users who requested that combination of criteria.

I figured I'd need to change my tactics in a couple of days once the botnet got bored of that particular page and moved on to requesting bogus entries for another user.

It hasn't.

yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.

It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.

However, let's not be trolled by Trump and Google who are both fighting a losing war for foreign interests and want us distracted from $7 diesel.

I just went shopping and the $30 can of shellac primer I usually get is $95 now. Imported ingredients.

Cholesterol is not one molecule.

A lot of your brain is made of types of it.

Complex systems involving certain light ldls and other factors can ultimately result in inflammatory blockages.

The two populations with the highest life expectancy are Hong Kong and Macau.

They also have the highest per capita consumption of meat.

Again, it's a complex system but "eat plants to live long" is disproved.

Never begin a business relationship with a lie.

Sounds like they'll gaslight you at the warranty department too.

Young people buying BMW are probably less than 5% of the client base.

These guys sound worse than Jaguar now.

Seems like a terrible investment.

Apparently not. Otherwise, consumers would not buy all those additional features.
Consumers have no choice.

If they want a BMW i3X// and that thing only comes with "no buttons" - how the fark would they be able to get one with buttons?

Oh, they should not buy the BMW i3X// but rather an Austin Martin.

Sure ... good idea. Which part of: they want an BMW i3X// did escape you?

Another opportunity for Trump to put his name on something.
After the revolution he will be punished with "damnatio memoriae".

In the Greek city-states (poleis), being remembered through public inscriptions, family lineages, and civic rolls was the ultimate civic honor.

Erasing a name was a form of political death.

Chiseling and Smashed Inscriptions: If a politician or general fell into deep disgrace or committed treason, the city assembly would order stone carvers to physically scratch, gouge, or chisel their names out of official state documents, treaty stones, and naval catalogues.

Destruction of Statues: Honorific monuments, busts, or statues dedicated to the individual were smashed, thrown down wells, or melted down.

The "Ban of Mention": In extreme cases, a city would pass a decree making it illegal to ever speak the criminal's name out loud, effectively forcing the society to collectively "forget" them.

In one hundred years he only will be remembered as the worst president ever.

You forgot:
- do you have an EV
- do you have solar panels :D

Or if one would be cynic: can you afford to have kids?

Nope,
we were talking about that flying over the pole increases "radiation", which it does not, as you perfectly pointed out, as the solar wind particles most likely wont penetrate the hull.

We did not talk about the other points you make at all.

They are btw. only depended on flight height, and have nothing much to do with magnetic fields, poles or not.

You probably misunderstood to what I was answering.

Also, the cosmic ray flux is higher at the poles.
Could be the case, as the poles are aligned with the sun's poles.
Perhaps there is some effect as the sun magnetic field is weak, but gigantic.
As nearly every cosmic particle is charged, it might be curved into a way that from the earth it appears as if it comes from north or south above the pole.

Well,

I worked on that system.

So I likely know more about it than you do.

The cars run on ADAS made by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The new AI stuff is for route optimization and LIDAR and other cloud stuff.

And has nothing to do with the autonomous driving itself.

But we can be :D
Just kill the upper 10.0%, 1.0% and 0.1% :D

Actually they have.

However they have not the right to attack the position of the party from outside of the party.

Might sound strange for you, but point is: if you want to do "politics" you are supposed to join the party. And do it from inside the party.

Being a lazy fellow, not joining the party, not raising your voice where it is welcome: makes you an unpleasant fellow.

Actually a simple concept, which makes from their point of view perfectly sense.

Make sure to have a back up.
At least from your home folder.

The upgrade was not super smooth, but was okay (was working on a different computer, so I was a bit sloppy).

The computer is lighting fast with the new OS ... at least for the stuff I do.

...Young buyers prefer the newer controls...

They also prefer affordable cars. Wonder when the industry's going to work on that problem?

You get some simple things wrong.

An US engineer has not 25% more purchasing power, when everything he wishes to purchase: has a 375% tariff.
