Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

It is nice, but not e-ink

My personal printer works flawlessly on Linux, except that it cannot be convinced to print double-sided, no matter how deep I dig into the settings. Boils my blood.

Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards

Lol, no. Not in any way.

Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.

Just testing how deep Cunninghams law will go haha

Nono, these are d orbitals. Although p orbitals are equally silly.

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn’t find any, sadly

I should really start doing that, not sure why I’ve never thought of that

Are you sure? It looks like the coastline in France… I don’t recognize the Netherlands here at all. What coastline are we looking at exactly? I don’t see the afsluitdijk, nor recognize the surrounding coastline. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to it as Zuiderzeedam.

I found 2, but I am sure there are more. https://masto.host/ https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html

Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

Oh it is completely irrelevant for Fry’s point. Just thought it was interesting.

Maybe surprising, but yes. The pope is an example. Historically it was not super uncommon, nowadays Malaysia and Cambodia for instance still have an elected monarch.

If you watched the video, you would know you don’t actually own the battery but lease it from the manufaturer.
