Um. What about Trump?

Wait so the board of the center actually wants it back up? Have they been infiltrated a la SCOTUS?

“Socialist” Spain probably. JFC.

Thanks, I’m just as confused, but at least I understand now that that’s OK.

The first paragraph is rough. But it’s not the first time they pulled that shit. This time we all know what’s coming and America should be ready.

Remember:

Trump is an historically unpopular president.

I have a hard time parsing that quote; does it say that MAGA wants to paint early immigrants as pure-hearted missionaries with no material motives, oppressed in Europe because they were “too good”?

The “rather than” confuses me I guess. What’s the difference between the 1st and the 2nd part? It says “persecution” in both.

Not sure “selfhosted” is the right term here, but a Quick Search™ for “opensource lawnmower” returns this:

Always stunning, Americans’ lack of self-awareness in that respect. But then again, the same happened in Europe centuries earlier and probably everywhere in the world at some point.

TBF to the people contradicting you: I think some peoples (sic) stuck to slash-and-burn for way too long. Certainly in Finland: lots of forest, few people.

Maybe they even saw that other plants will grow on the abandoned fields but had no use for them. Maybe they even realized the potential for crop rotation but had no alternative crops to rotate with. Extreme poverty and the continuous need to get as much nutrition as possible from the ground might have been a factor.
And remember, the potato is a fairly recent addition.

Also, any form of agriculture is civilisation.

The article states that pushing consumer satellite internet instead of cables/mobile is basically BS, in my words.

The question wasn’t so literal. Much broader.

Reddit?

According to Billy Finn, the noise is actually getting louder. He’s been tracking the decibel levels on Louise Avenue since 2022, when Hyperscale Data began operating. Back then, the sound level was around 52 decibels. Today, they’re typically around 61 decibels, and sometimes go as high as 78 decibels, he told the paper.

Inside his house, it goes down to 39 decibels, which is about the level of a quiet office or library, according to the American Academy of Audiology. But it jumps to 62 decibels when he opens the door, sounding a bit like a passenger jet taxiing on the runway in the distance.

And that’s 24/7/365.

Remember that the next time you “ask ChatGPT” instead of making a web search.

The whole concept is rotten right from the start.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk maintains an extremely close relationship with Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr.

Under Carr’s leadership, Musk’s rocket company has effectively been given carte blanche in its efforts to roll out its orbital Starlink broadband service to more Americans, a glaring conflict of interest that could have profound implications for society.

That’s despite concerns over thousands or even millions of satellites cluttering our planet’s already extremely busy orbit and the environmentally damaging rocket launches that send them up.

And the space-based network is already starting to experience some major strains — as some experts have long predicted.

“How can Europe compete with that?” I ask myself more and more often (also AI bubble/data centers). Hopefully in the long term.

Yeah, none of that is a sign of a thriving business empire if you ask me.

Not sure I want those to actually thrive though.

Let’s not forget his handling of Covid19 either.

I get increasingly jaded with every bit of news that basically says “yet another reason to not use Google, integrated/agentic AI etc.” When will it be enough to make even IT-illiterates consider?

This is a good thing if it’s implemented properly.

Explanation: A TV show or movie needs a lot of range in volume: car crashes are supposed to be louder than normal conversation etc.

A commercial can and usually does employ a technicque called compression to make all parts of it as loud as possible without distortion.

Now if the thus treated commercial is as loud as the loudest bits in the show/movie, it’s still too loud.

Serious answer? It probably does but the US government has put such things on hold for 10 years, to push the AI bubble the Trump family heavily invested in.

We learned to shoot lightning at sand until it could do math.

Great quote. The sand:

It’s more about what the guy is saying.
