I’m pretty sure the article iIread said it had more than enough speed to reach escape velocity, but would have ablated/vaporized before doing so.

The answer is yes, depending on your frame of reference.

I support Steam on and with my deck for the great things they do for hardware and access. I support GOG for the DRM free software, which works quite well on the deck. I download free games from Epic, knowing their launcher is almost always off and hoping I cost them money.

It was the first commercial version, from the NT line that was user-friendly and capable enough for home users. Prior to that, it was difficult to get games to run on the NT line and permissions were more complicated than most home users wanted to deal with. After that, they were essentially the same product line.

Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”

This is what kills me about people complaining about inheritance tax. Oh, you’re worried you’ll only be able to give each child $15M? Plus $19k/year before you die? I wish my kids had to struggle with only $15M when I die.

Ive thought of it. Probably going to do sunglasses first, t’hough. Or rather second, after my single vision safety glasses.

Yeah, but that isn’t a one-time cost, either. That’s a recurring cost, typically on a biannual basis, and usually much higher than the monthly subscription. That said, being able to walk out with something that is going to reliably work for the next couple years definitely has its benefits. Ive just never considered something with a definite lifespan and a requirement to replace as a one-time cost. Kind of like the difference between paying property taxes monthly or yearly - I’m still paying and it isn’t going to stop.

21 years with the same frames?

I have a pair on right now. They’re better than not seeing correctly, but only being able to focus on a computer screen with less than a third of your vertical field of view sucks. There are options, but one of the best is having more sets of glasses, which isn’t convenient or cheap. These could solve that. I’m sure Amazon will make it not worth it at some point, though.

If you think glasses are a one-time cost, I feel like you’ve never worn glasses. I had 10 years in my life where my vision didn’t change, and now I need bifocals/progressives. Given the nature of the condition, I expect to have to get new prescriptions every 2 to 4 years until I die or go blind.

That said, the rest of your comment is quite likely painfully true, especially if Amazon has their fingers in it.

Looking way back, not really. There may have been a few times. I know some siblings had their room searched due to reasonable suspicion of drugs, but that was never a concern with me.

When raising my kids, I don’t think I ever searched their room, except to find something of mine that they may have used. The relationships were open enough that my kids just told me if they did something like drink while still minors. I did watch for signs of drug use, but all use was very casual and minimal risk to their health.

It’s been a couple years since I used it, but after you create a wall, you can edit it in a dialog. The User Guide shows the dialog in question under editing walls, as well as the steps to access it.

This reminds me of a saying I heard. In America a hundred years is old. In Europe a hundred miles is far.

I get what you’re saying, and if that’s your perspective then, absolutely, dating someone with kids isn’t something you shouldn’t be doing. But you did ask for it when you dated someone with kids. Not saying your perspective is wrong, but the wording might be.

I’ve been in plenty of situations I don’t want to be in again where I didn’t know I’d feel that way before I was. Some learning experiences aren’t as pleasant as others.

Having previously used tools like Inventor (which isn’t great for floor plans, but is great for parametric modeling) yes, Sweet Home 3D has a terrible UX. That’s doubtless why you didn’t find out how to adjust walls, etc. parametrically. I wouldn’t classify it as terrible, but it isn’t great, for sure.

This was sold by Foveon, which had some interesting differences. The sensors were layered which, among other things, meant that the optical effect of moire patterns didn’t occur on them.

This is pretty close to my experience. It wasn’t a hospital, kind of a crisis-level group home situation. The biggest downside was not being allowed to take a walk in the park across the street to stave off boredom, next was being monitored to take meds I wanted to take. Other than that, it was the most peaceful time of my adult life. I had 3 days to not worry about a single thing, interrupted one night when a screaming patient had to be removed from the premises. Then I had a few more days to start figuring out what I needed to change in my life to never have to go back.

This doesn’t appear to be made by the people from either the Raspberry Pi Foundation or Raspberry Pi Holdings.

I wouldn’t feel too bad about this. He’s going where he needs to for funding/support. The War on Science is his latest book, and it’s like a who’s who of shitty people complaining about how their academic efforts are being attacked for whatever reason and the real answer is generally assault, harassment, or embarrassing their employers (universities). One great example was a professor being outraged on the infringement of their free speech when the university asked people to not use blackface as part of their Halloween costumes. Note what I said there. They didn’t say they couldn’t wear blackface, just that they should reconsider doing so. That is the exact opposite of censorship. I went into that 4-hour (!) video thinking I’d watch an example or two and couldn’t stop.

If anything, the people you want to reach might find Krauss approachable. Use him as a tool for good. And if you find someone more palatable, use them for the climate deniers who aren’t on the anti-woke train.
