Your new point does indeed stand.

Against caucasians? Dudette said she was white.

Before you had optical media, you had cable matrices where you could ‘write’ the matrix once by overloading individual cables, thereby blowing/burning them like a fuse.

Every media is writable at least once, but some media is erasable/re-writable a finite number of times (eg. RW-CDs can be rewritten some 10-100 times and flash can be rewritten some 10000 times).

Since the process of writing to read-only storage is destructible, and since you tended to burn the individual cables in the cable matrix, it became known as ‘burning’.

Originally, it had nothing to do with lasers or optical media.

‘Burning’ is the act of destructively writing (or burning, since you permanently burn the 1s into 0s on the medium) data to a read-only medium, such as a PROM or later also optical media.

The term seems to have changed since, since you often also ‘burn’ RW-DVDs even though you really only write, so I wouldn’t call it too far fetched to also ‘burn’ RW-PROMs (aka. EPROMs, or FLASH).

Thank you, Moonshadow. :)

That observation is correct.

The problem is not the IP protocol, but rather the users (including corpos). The above were simply new “internets”, their abstinence from the IP stack were not huge concerns when I wrote the comment.

Now, excuse my ignorance, but do the alt internets actually forgo the IP protocol, or just the IP stack? I’ve never tried running them directly on the hardware, so I don’t know if they work without the internet backbone (eg. routing via MAC and IP).

To my understanding, they are simply layers which build on top of the IP protocol, much like clearnet itself.

There already exist multiple, though they obviously don’t have the same content or capacity as the clearnet, much like Lemmy vs Reddit.

Like, there’s Meshtastic for WAN-like internet, and Yggrasil, Lokinet, I2P, etc. for multi-purpose internet.

I’d keep away from TOR though, since that’s the most low-hanging fruit for those who want to peddle services or share content of questionable ethics (and likely soon also for children who don’t want to deal with age verification, leave it to the politicians to blow the boiler by blocking the relief valves).

This might be pedantic, but the lab-brain didn’t solve anything. It just acts as the controller in a solution created by a scientist.

It is the one who created this “controller” who solved the problem.

Yes, I did indeed read the study - even before I posted my rhetorical question - which appears to be the raw numbers.

And are you trying to tell me, that you do not have the raw numbers of motorbike-related accidents in relation to car-related accidents according to the European Commission for 2022? I find that hard to believe.

EDIT: My bad, you meant the numbers of vehicles needed to equalize the raw numbers. Plus, the graph appears to already take relative popularity into account with the reversed relations.

I’m here to ask the grand question yet again:

Is that the raw deaths per vehicle, or does it equalize relative vehicle popularity?

I assume that there are a fair bit more cars on the roads than there are motorbikes, which means that we would not be able to compare them otherwise. Unless, of course, if one simply is trying to sow discord.

And even when they apply to bikes, they don “apply” to most bikes anyway.

Mærsk is testing wind and electrical power on their fleet. Won’t make the ships 100% self-sufficient, but will hopefully lower the impact of the vessels.

“No problem, I was about finished anyway.”

Well, get to it then! Ain’t got all year.

Jup. I think I’ve had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.

One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(

EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.

Sure, but going to a proper restaurant tends to cost a bit more than doing it yourself.

Like, making some roasted pork with steamed veggies, sauce, and potatoes takes some 10+40 minutes of preparation and about 10 minutes of cleanup, and it costs me about 25$ (and is, of course, not including any deals). That’s for 4 grownups, plus some leftovers for lunch next day.

Obviously food and restaurant prices differ wildly depending on where you live, but I’m not sure I could get a decent and healthy takeout/restaurant meal for less than 60$ for 4 people in my area (assuming that 4 kebabs can be considered “decent and healthy”).

That’d leave me with a hourly “food-wage” of roughly 35$ (or 75$ if we’d assume 100$ for takeout), which I think is acceptable. I’d not make more than that after taxes either way.

And now we have those who’d rather work for recreation, and those who’d rather work as recreation. I can find better things to spend my money on than food.

I have to confess that I do not know how every European language says it, but I do know that both German and Danish say and write the equivalent of “o’ clock/on the clock”, eg. “Klokken, Uhr”.

The only time I’ve seen “x hours” used, is either in programming, that abomination that is “military time”, or when defining time from now, eg. “Let’s meet in 4 hours, at 20 on the clock”.

16 hours is mostly an American military way to say it. 16 on the clock (or similar for different languages) is the main European way to say it.
