Spoilers in Connect are not readable when I click them. (White on white) Unless I first select the post so the background in grey.

I guess it was unexpected that rocks can create a functional battery, and not have been drained after all this time.

This actually exists, but for a different operating system. The AS400 (aka iSeries) had a command line where programs had a standard way to specify parameters, so that pressing a prompt key (F4) would allow you to build the proper command line by filling a form. I do miss that, pity it doesn’t exist for Linux.

You can get Mint on a “Live” USB flash drive, so you can boot it up and see if it handles all your hardware before you install anything.

If someone is paying you to write code, they have some say in the contract about how it is licensed. You could be upfront about only doing GPL, and they could be upfront about saying no. But if you try to do it after the fact, that’s a violation of the contract.

Canines have five digits on their front paws, just like we do. Their “dew claw” is equivalent to our thumb, so the outside digit is still a pinky digit.

Sounds like sleep. Hibernate is when it turns completely off, such that you can leave it unplugged for a weekend and still have battery when it pops you back into your session. It takes longer to save and restore the session than sleep does.

I’m not sure there is any more the hermit kingdom can be sanctioned, other than getting Russia and China to actually honor the existing sanctions. (Ha!)

Ukraine doesn’t want to target Moscow. They are not like Russia, they go after actual military targets, not civilians. They have been using their homebuilt drones for long enough inside Russia to show their priorities.

The whole point of a public key is it can be publicized. Use any public publishing method, the more public the better.

We knew the deal was changed, but not by who. (As far as I know.)

Hair is hair. At least they didn’t use wall paint.

I’m switching back and forth at will, which is unusual for me with this type of illusion.

Or a paintball filled with such liquid. A paintball would have more range than a liquid spray.

Air support.

But obsolete jobs do become hobbies.

If enough people are using this new system, Russia could easily pivot to target it as well. Jamming is not inherently hard, especially if a nation is attempting it.

Jamming in the US will bring the FCC down your throat. The stronger the signal, the faster they will show up. Russia transmitting a jamming signal from Russia doesn’t have to worry about such things. A jamming device is not hard to find, but on sovereign soil it’s still untouchable short of war.

When you have a few inches flat at the end, fold it over and tape it. Repeat as needed.

The yellow hash isn’t protecting anything, such as a handicap space or a walkway. It’s just saying this one isn’t a parking spot because of the big pole in the middle.

There will probably be a new app for the new chairs. You’ll have to upgrade the chair to keep using the app support.
