One man’s junk is another man’s booty.

We can dream…

Sadly, with the chip shortage, USB sticks aren’t even that cheap anymore. MSoft and Sony would adopt the latest (most expensive) usb version for the transfer speed. You wouldn’t want the cheap chips/sticks anyway, lest your $90 game stick randomly corrupt itself.

Then you have to protect the stick while it’s plugged in so it doesn’t get bumped and break the connector/port; so then it’s back to proprietary sockets that only certain sticks fit into, flip-top covers, or something “under” the console. I remember folks throwing a fit when Apple put the power button on the bottom of the Mac mini 😂

  1. It’s pure plastic waste at that point. No one is going to be making plastic bottles for the purpose of dissembling them into hydrogen fuel anymore than they are currently making plastic bottles for the purpose of sending to waste-to-energy plants (incinerators).

  2. It’s not just plastic. It’s plants too; ideally agricultural and industrial byproducts.

Solar reforming has emerged as a class of sunlight-driven technologies capable of converting waste-derived substrates into fuels and chemicals. By utilizing substrates such as glucose or ethylene glycol (EG), derived from lignocellulosic biomass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), as electron donors, solar reforming enables a more energetically favorable oxidation pathway compared with water oxidation.

Oh, that’s the sound a frog makes. You're thinking of Gerry Rafferty

The Fedora Council has paused the Community Initiatives process, stating that the current framework no longer effectively supports identifying, discussing, and advancing major strategic efforts.

Importantly, already approved Community Initiatives will continue.

Going forward, the Fedora Council says it wants to develop a new mechanism for setting strategic direction in a more open and transparent way, with stronger community involvement earlier in the process.

Seems like it is primarily a technical backlash about having to support another kernel branch for stability with proprietary nvidia drivers. A bit of pushback on AI branding. But also

Part of what made this blow up the way it did was a communications gap. Fabio Valentini of the FESCo noted that he only became aware the proposal was being voted on after stumbling across the council meeting on Matrix accidentally.

This was the one of the many bad aspects about my employers response to COVID. They required a professionally administered test to approve your time off.

“Hey! I feel shitty and tested positive for COVID. I should rest and isolate at home, right?”

“No, you need to go out and feel shitty in the public, so someone else can give you the same exact test.”

But really good marketing. They got the emails of a bunch of people interested in Steam hardware, they got their name out there to folks like me who’ve never heard of them. They put out a sincere sounding apology, gave automatic full refunds, and in 18 months I’ll probably remember them as a trustable brand but forget it was because they did a dumbass copyright infringement.

 

I’ve always considered that texting “hehe” is a light chuckle, a “heh heh” sound; “hehehe” is more of a giggle, whether coy or creepy; and any more “he”s than that delves into witchy cackling territory.

In contrast “haha”, “hahaha”, and “hahahaha”, all sound the same in my head, and the meaning only varies in intensity but is more context dependent.

 

What if Nanni was the kind of person that complains that the Great Sand Dunes National Park is too sandy, and we have the complaint (presumably found in his house) because Ea-Nasir kept it to remind himself never to do business with Nanni again.

Northern Michigan-based Munson Healthcare said in a Facebook post that it was treating 11 people at its medical center in Traverse City.

 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
