Sputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define “first rocket in space”, it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets

but LMDE especially will be subject to dealing with older software

Are you sure about this? As far as I know, debian modernized their repos quite a bit even compared to ubuntu, that also sparked some controversy from debian long time fans especially because they wanted more dated, stable software. Never used LMDE though, so I’m not sure if it applies

The Alps are pretty freacking impressive. You see these enormous pointy rocks in the background and your brain knows how massive these mountains are. They are incredible.

History showed it many times: people who annex never ever make it better for the annexed. They always exploit and things get worse.

Quite significant in theory, DDR3 maxes out at about 2000 MT/s (mega transfer per seconds) while DDR5 can go above 8000 MT/s, so about 3x-4x. I don’t know if this metric already includes the capability of DDR ram to access multiple data in a clock cycle, but I think it does. If it doesn’t, the difference is even higher.

Of course in practice the difference is not as remarkable, but still noticeable. Still, DDR3 is perfectly usable with a decent processor (light gaming and professional software), my main rig is a 4th generation i7 and I have no intention of upgrading for the foreseeable future.

Extra: still use ddr3 and watch the world burn, but slower

That is one case, which is the reason why it’s usually culturally/genetically frowned upon. The other reason I guess is to prevent abuse in a parent/child relationship, where it’s different because there’s a power difference

I think the best is Italy’s, Venezuela’s and Uriguay’s “Illegal only if it provokes public scandal”

Unfortunately, that is not really possible.

The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that’s only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.

Yes, it’s normal, or at least it’s not super unusual. People can be the meanest to your face and then pretend that nothing happened. Is it because they are ashamed of themselves? Because they want to pretend that nothing happened and hope you won’t bring it up? Because they want to maintain happearances in front of others? Are they trying to gaslight you? I don’t know, but it did happen to me and to other people I know.

Thank you ❤️. He came to our home more than 5 years ago, already adult. He was most likely a house cat that was left on the street for some reason: in realively good health, but a little skinnier, neutered, but not chipped and every human he encountered he would ask for pets, even complete strangers. For some reason he licked and playfully bite like dogs when petting him.

Once we found him in front of the train station, he was just sitting there taking pets from random commuters coming in and out of the station. He was really precious and a bit needy of love, we gave him all we could.

Can’t save them all

You don’t have to cut ties with american people just because their president is an ass to the world

Bring back latin as the lingua franca

Usually Trigger Warning, to warn someone more sensitive to triggers to be careful. Don’t really know which trigger would be in this email?

I wouldn’t be so sure. From the little I know of Greenland, the people are quite combative of their independence, as all native people are once they have been absorbed by western culture. The prime minister/governor/can’t remember the title said quite clearly that they aren’t for sale.

Also, I don’t feel like 100k/resident is really a lot of money.

Trump is offering them to be part of the North American Technate which provides an abundance of resources. Look at the map.

That’s bullshit. Trump wants Greenland’s resources for his empire. The Greenlanders will get exploited and see no benefit to these resources. They will probably lose welfare and gain police brutality.

Did any south american or african colony ever gain anything from being ‘acquired’ by european powers?

• the US most likely had inside help, Venezuela being less hostile towards them than China or Russia it was probably easy to convince people
• head of states of China, Russia and North Korea are much more likely to expect such attacks and have probably more resources to spend on personal protection and armies. Putin is notoriously paranoid and it’s difficult to locate because he spends a lot of reaources to hide
• as others said, those countries have nukes

I enjoyed it a lot and honestly, while I could see the massive influence it had on other things, and even being impressed by the distopian technology that would seem really scifi at the time, but is normal today, I think there are some aspects that have been explored further, but not at the same detail.

For example, doublethink and newspeak as a concept exists in other media, but I’ve never seen it explored to such details than in the book.

• replacement parts for appliances (dishwasher wheels, feet, brackets…) • upgrades for your 3d printer (a camera holder is a classic) • if you are a thinkerer (I’m assuming you are) custom boxes for small projects (electronics and so on)
