I remember the first time I used one, but not for technically getting anywhere. It was the mid 90s I think, childhood memories are hard to place exactly.

My dad bought a GPS device for work and let me play with it a little. It was an even older model from the late 80s probably. Alphanumeric display only, it couldn't even draw an arrow let alone a map.

I tried to follow the instructions from the manual to make it do something. I remember wanting to navigate to the other end of the back yard. But the manual was all in English and I couldn't figure it out in the end.

Technically I've been on a couple of dates because friends convinced me that I have to try. I got panic attacks. It felt that I have to perform well to show others that I can do dating, but at the same time I didn't really want to be there.

There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.

Wow. Btrfs ftw

Thanks. Whenever I see such an absurd news about a politician from whichever country or political party, I need some kind of fact check

Are you sure this is not satirical? "The Daily Beast" sounds like something a satirical news site would call themselves.

I think the commenter might speak Portuguese, or Catalan, or Chinese. Any language where X is pronounced as SH

2 billion years ago a random mutation caused a local optimum in gene recombination and now we need to have gender studies

  • Cultural influence: music, cinema, social movements of the 1960s and 70s
  • Beautiful nature
  • Agility in business environments (although I might have a limited sample)
  • not without criticism but I think NATO is generally a positive thing
  • Food (no not junk food, there's several fascinating regional cuisines)

I think it's finally time to restore the Mandate of Palestine:

  • Israelis get to live there but not their own special state
  • Palestinians get to live there but not their own special state
  • Everybody gets to hate the British, as is tradition
  • Brits finally get a colony back, it'll lift their mood after the brexit disaster

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn't actually address the problem

It started with "we have no idea how they did it". Then over time it morphed into "we have several hypotheses but don't know if it any of those is realistic". The current state of things is still there regarding the construction technique itself.

In the meantime the village where construction workers lived has been found. Now we know the profile or people who built the pyramids, how they lived and what they ate. Even some details about work organization.

All of this still didn't propagate into the popular culture which is still stuck in the 1980s regarding pyramid knowledge.
