So, like, it’s prudent to learn a few phrases, “don’t shoot, Russian” or something.

The problem is that… who’s going to believe them.

no. its Cunningham’s- ah shit, you fucker.

I’m not sure climate change peeps would necessarily publish the raw lidar map in a way that would be useful for an archeologist.

There’s a lot of data there.

Wait… people buy off temu?!

So tomorrow… “Israel bombs refugees fleeing under evacuation orders.”…?

I mean, I was mostly making a joke myself, the conversion rate is what 1 usd to 97 rubles?

While an entire order of magnitude is insane- especially at that large a number, the difference isn’t really meaningful.

Is that in USD or in rubles?

I can’t do much more than pathetically impotent internet comments, but any one in Georgia…. I’m pulling for you.

“I was on something like page 16 of Google search and found a radar survey done by a Mexican organisation for environmental monitoring,” explains Luke Auld-Thomas, a PhD student at Tulane university in the US.

It was a Lidar survey, a remote sensing technique which fires thousands of radar pulses from a plane and maps objects below using the time the signal takes to return.

But when Mr Auld-Thomas processed the data with methods used by archaeologists, he saw what others had missed - a huge ancient city which may have been home to 30-50,000 people at its peak from 750 to 850 AD.

the full section on that. he was looking for the lidar data to analyze.

I’m not sure why they didn’t just ask the group doing the lidar sweeps for the data, though. I find it hard to believe they’d tell an archeologist ‘no’ for some reason.

If the IDF said the sky was blue, I’d have to go outside and double check. Just to make sure I wasn’t wrong my entire life.

I suspect they’re- Russia- trying to pull a fast one, and china is okay because it won’t hurt them.

Maybe this gives Russians access to reserve currencies that are harder than the ruble.

Or I just don’t want to get choked to death over twenty bucks.

makes sense. Apple started Darwin OS as a way to get people to develop macOS for them, and most microsoft cloud systems… run on linux…

Pretty sure most amazon AWS runs on linux too.

get fucked Putty-boo.

the official explanation is “marketing”. (there’s a few reasons for it. 9 is considered unlucky in japan, for example. they wanted branding with 10. etc)

The fun thing is that there was a version that should have come out between 8 and 10 and didn’t. they decided to abandon it in very very pre-alpha because it was just that bad. (No, that probably doesn’t explain the gap. but its fun to poke at.). Basically it was supposed to take all the stupid features like seamless phone OS integration and tablet stuff and become some sort of uber universal-operating system that sucks.

So awful that not even Microsoft would dare publish it?

The only place I know still using “space age” to imply technological superiority are the As Seen On TV commercials.

I did not know they were selling missiles. I kinda want to get one….

Wasn’t the space age back in like the fifties?

Ol’ Sausage Fingers can stand?

just an observation, but replying to them is not disengagement.
