Barring English, I only speak "dead" languages. Am I a polyglot still? Latin, Koine & Classic Greek, ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and am at "coffee" level in a few ANE/Semitic languages.

You do know what it takes to make lithium ion batteries right?

Great ad. The part where the little stress ball rolls out and gets crushed was a good laugh. I wonder if this was CGI or if they really crushed that stuff.

"Mom" implicitly signed up for encrypted email when she decided to use Proton as her mail provider. It's what they're all about.

Neat, I'll take a look. You should consider opening the issue or discussion board if you want feedback.

Well I (an American) agree with your sentiment, it appears that the British royalty don't actually rely on tax money, but instead they keep 25% of the money that the royaly estate /makes/ and the other 75% goes to the British treasury.

But I might be wrong. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-57559653

Yes the average age stat drastically skews our perception of how old people were in prior centuries because it includes infant and childhood deaths. This is valid for an average, but it doesn't relate life expectancy for someone who made it to 18.

I tend to agree, but also, what could one even do? I have seen videos of shipping containers going into the shore and they don't stop for a good hundred yards or more.

I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to chime in on the feasibility of creating a nuclear reactor from a MRI machine, but there is this guy in Floyd, Virginia who has created a nuclear reactor from some old medical equipment, so maybe it's possible with a MRI machine too?

What are the risks of changing brakes? Never thought of that as a particularly risky endeavor before.

Oh that is very different but very cool, thanks.

Are these different from the paper things kids made in middle school?

With the exception of two vacations to California, I have lived my entire life in high humidity locations. This sounds like magic, I understand the science and all, but that it can actually work is wild. It might work for me in the winter, when we regularly get drier weather and spend a most nights flirting with freezing.

I had ente for about a year. Does what the label says, but then Proton Drive released support for auto backup of pictures and I switched since pay for Proton and have a few terabytes of space with them.

It is! I own a farm, hope to get this truck back into working shape and use it to pick up my monthly grain order.

I've been restoring a 1954 Chevy 6400, commonly referred to as a 2-ton. There are so many great resources online like this.

I was wrong. I meant Treesitter sucks in vscode

LSPs in vscode suck

The tolt gait is shared by a couple other breeds and is identical in beat to the rack gait of the American Saddlebred horse, but differs in appearance.

There are six gait categories. Walk, trot, amble, canter, gallop, and pace. The tolt is a form of amble and the flying pace is a pace.

Many breeds of cart horse have a pace gait, the Icelandic is unique in having a pace gait that you can ride, most/all others have too much side to side motion to ride.

Horses from non "gaited" (having more than the four primary gaits) breeds can be taught other gaits, notably the Morgan is very good at picking up a pace.

I worked for a company 4/5 years ago that had a Windows 2000 machine connected to a dial-up modem which sent all of the company's payroll data to ADP four times a month. It sat on top of a filing cabinet in the HR office.

One time I got a phone call when I worked in the NOC at about 11pm from the director of HR in a panic because the machine wasn't working and payroll was going to be sent out in 55 minutes. Luckily he just forgot his password and had gotten locked out.

This is just an instance shutting down, not all of the Nitter instances. Sort of a deceptive title.

I don't know about where you live but often as not in the US (varies by state) cyclists have different laws to abide by then cars. Most motorists (and cyclists for that matter) are wholly unaware of this.

I find it so interesting how it puts down stabilizing roots. Corn does it, but not to the extent of this sorghum we grew. It'd drop roots from a foot or two up the stalk. And it grows so fast and so tall you can pretty easily "watch" it grow just by looking at it every day.

I wasn't aware of sorghum molasses either, but apparently it was the primary source of sugar for much of the southern US for a long time. It's not like cane molasses, it has a much richer taste and is apparently good for you in moderation. Has some minerals and compounds that are hard to find in other foods.

When I lived in a city I helped manage our neighborhood's community garden. I was able to get rare and endangered seeds from the USDA for free and we grew them in our community garden to experience ancient foods. Pretty cool program, I believe all we had to do was agree to not use them for profit and make an effort to return some seeds at the end of the season.

The Iranian sorghum was the most memorable plant. I had never seen sorghum before then and it is such an interesting plant. I have since developed a love for sorghum and sorghum molasses makes up almost all of my sugar intake these days.

If you have never seen sorghum, imagine 10+ foot tall corn stalks with amaranth heads.

I work at a place that has a few very large code bases, we use trunk-based. I will never go back, "what is your git workflow?" Is a question on my list of things to ask potential employers now and the only good answer is "trunk". So much mental load is wasted on these other strategies.

Correct, if you were Alliance and a Horde character near you typed "lol" it would appear as "kek".

And in World of Warcrft it's "kek"

Now that you mention it, my best teachers were all men who made careers for themselves in the military before retiring and going into education.

Do you have any studies or sources to show outcomes of homeschooled children? I've since met many outside of college, they all seem far better off than the average high schooler I knew as a kid.

It'll vary by state.
