I think if we sold daily short-term use items with sealed AA/AAA with the amount of sales as disposable vapes, we'd be having the same discussion about AA/AAA batteries now. But we don't. Aside from anomalies like, say, the Gameboy or Game Gear, traditional batteries are used in things like remotes or smoke detectors, where you might need to replace the batteries every few months.

Not sure what you understand with "common". According to that wiki page, EMAS is installed on 112 runways in the US and there are over 1000 commercial runways in the US (as of 2007: https://www.icao.int/Meetings/AMC/MA/2007/9CCARDCA/9ccardcai...). There are only 15 non-US installations and none of them are in South Korea.

I'm interested in all of them, but not enough to go to every single page there.

Whenever I checked, trains from north Germany to Austria and back were always significantly cheaper on the ÖBB site. It was bizarre.

Site is probably just overloaded and it's not responding properly because of it.

This is really cool. Looks like there isn't a single download where one can get all the images though, which is a shame.

CS 1.6 never required internet to host a LAN-accessible server. It would be trivial to setup and play even today.

Unfiltered first hand accounts on social media. What a joke.

We're fucked, aren't we? We take whatever post on social media fits our preconceptions and we run with it. No verifying who it is or how plausible it is. No cross-checking with other sources of information. Everybody, particularly all "mainstream media", is lying except this random person on the internet with no proof or verification.

Meanwhile, first thing I did when I saw images of the damaged surfaces was check other sources to verify that the damage shown was of the right aircraft and event, check what AA missile damage typically looks like from Russian missiles, check what kinds of missiles Russian systems use, and do a broad quick survey of all the available information at hand, then come to my own opinion and wait for an official investigation while remaining open to new and better information.

Why do these people do the first step of being skeptical, which is largely correct, but then they believe random bullshit elsewhere without any of that skepticism? I just don't get it.

Having known plenty of extroverts, I don't see how this is true.

The discussion here is wrong and at odds with the science I've seen and my anecdotal experience. You can't just decide we're all the same and that some of us just have an attitude problem. That's asinine and irritating.

As an introvert, what does being an introvert have to do with phobias? If you have a phobia for being around other people, this is not being introverted.

As an introvert, I have no idea what you're talking about.

As an introvert, talking to strangers is in my comfort zone. Being an introvert has nothing to do with whether I'm able to talk to strangers.

As an introvert, speaking up in small groups isn't a problem. I do it all the time when I feel like it or when I feel it's necessary. Again, what does being an introvert have to do with this?

As an introvert, I regularly find myself leasing things because other people don't want to step up. This has nothing to do with introversion/extraversion.

As an introvert, I do talks in front of an audience. Not a problem.

Learning all this was valuable, but none of it solved my introversion. Because it's not something that can or needs to be fixed.

What it did fix was my shyness, lack of confidence and insecurity around other people. But I'm still introverted because it still requires me to exert a lot of energy, which can only be regained if I'm alone.

As an introvert, no.

Socializing is always draining. I enjoy being around other people and I enjoy socializing, I like going to parties and meeting people and whatever else, but it's extremely tiring for me. No matter how much I like the person it's with, I'll be exhausted afterwards and I'll need a lot of time in solitude and isolation to get all that energy back.

It has nothing to do with how much peace a person brings me. Being social to any degree takes energy and I need to be alone to get that energy back.

That's introversion. Not "I don't like people".

The Russian Buk, S-300 and S-400 largely use missiles with blast fragmentation.

For example, see the SAMS section here: https://www.gichd.org/fileadmin/uploads/gichd/Publications/G...

From the bits and pieces I've heard, the problem is one of scaling. Bacteriophages had to be made bespoke for a specific patient.

EVs are just ridiculously expensive, the charging network coverage isn't great, the percentage of single home owners is comparatively low compared to renters of apartments (where there are no charging options), and the government keeps fucking around with the tax credits and rebates.

I'm not sure why the perceived reliability outweighs any of these issues.

A lot of projects are "walk before you run". Didn't stop Intel from killing them and wasting all their time, money and effort. That's Intel's problem. I don't want them to kill Arc. It's what they need long-term. I simply don't believe they have the persistence and long-term vision to keep at it despite lackluster sales and lack of interest.

I wonder how often that one switch is plagued by delays which turn those 15 minutes into significantly longer times, and cause propagating delays throughout the system.

> It didn't' work, that's not a crime. He left because his plan didn't work. That's what happens to CEO's who try and fail to implement a business plan.

We don't know that it didn't work. We also don't know that selling it off would've been significantly better, so it's weird to pretend that keeping the foundry part of Intel was this big failure. Intel is a cargo ship that doesn't turn on a dime. But the board and investors don't have the patience for long-term strategy that could get Intel out of its downward spiral. The CEO leaving is just another symptom of that, and a sign that Intel is just continuing to dig its own grave, damn the consequences. Just look at all the other projects Intel has tried and failed in the past 20ish years. Zero patience for anything that doesn't bring in billions and isn't immediately successful.

We're all just waiting for Intel to give up on the Arc GPUs because of it.

But don't you see? The walled garden makes them feel safe from all the bad people out there. It's like locking yourself in with Rorschach. Yeah, the others aren't gonna get you, but he will.

It's really too bad this isn't around today. We'd have so many videos about every nook and cranny of this place, so many videos exploring the lives of the people who live there. But now all I can find are a handful of documentaries, the same interview with some residents and the same recycled 1 minute clips everywhere.

It's the complete opposite for me here in Germany based on recent experience ordering from Amazon and other online retailers. It almost always arrives when Amazon says it will. I literally just received a package from an Amazon courier in an Amazon truck, something that I ordered late yesterday.

You don't look a day over 200.

What's your control group? Would other online retailers fare better or worse than this? Most of the time, other online retailers are worse in my experience.

I'm more surprised that Russia or China haven't attempted to communicate with things like Voyager. Not necessarily to sabotage, but to find out as much as they can about it by interacting with it.

Is WP a common abbreviation for Wikipedia? I usually just say wiki.

Generally when I order something it's because I need it now and I live at the ass end of nowhere, so it's too inconvenient to find a decent store that sells what I need at a decent price (if that exists at all nearby).

I think the biggest issue is just the uncertainty. I've been ordering at other places lately and it's just ... frustrating that I have no idea if it'll take them a day or three days to process before shipping.

It's really hard to beat Amazon just because of logistics. Amazon tells me if it'll arrive tomorrow or the day after if I order now and I can be 99% sure that it'll be processed today or tomorrow and it'll arrive as expected.

Anybody else? I have no idea how long it'll take them to process my order, how long it takes for it to be processed by DHL/DPD/GLS and how long the actual delivery will take.

This looks awesome. Now I just hope somebody will someday a 20 button version.

That's pretty cool. Now I just wish they'd release a wireless G600 with this capability. Best thing I ever bought was an MMO mouse. It's incredibly useful for a lot of use cases outside of MMOs.

This is my approach as well with Cursor and Intellij IDEA.
