A lightning strike would have been ironic.

It doesn’t take much going wrong to “hallucinate” light, its not that you physically produce the light the eye starts to see. Its just a byproduct of the processes happening

It’s the difference between lead time and production period.

Let’s say GM rolls off 1 car out of the assembly line every hour, it doesn’t mean the work they do to build a car only takes an hour.

Maybe it takes a week? (I’m guessing) to get from frame to finished vehicle. It means the first six days are just filling the plant line, and 7th day they plop out a car an hour as they add one frame to the input at one an hour, but lead time is a full week to get car X from start to finish.

Yeah we have done those too. Paramount and Netflix cancelled. Canada has a free strwaming site from the CBC.

I’ve repurposed hardware with Linux to get performance back instead of CPU upgrade for Windows.

Repaired an older car instead of buying new (for many reasons).

Grocery store has brought in more Mexican and overseas products since many people stopped buying USA products.

Staycationing in our province.

So far its been easy.

I don’t know about their dentist but my dentist just uses a mirror :)

Excellent, thanks for asking :). 20°C here, so a beautiful day for dog walking

Ah, I see.

Well when they attack Canadian Sovereignty, it involves cutting out anything USA made or affiliated…as much as we can.

It actually hasn’t been that restrictive, as there are Canadian businesses that we’ve ignored. The USAs tariffing has actually strengthened our internal economy.

Looks like every other country is also dropping USA based items and projects, because who knows what the current admin will force onto small businesses, or sudden cut off of services.

It’s built into GNOME network manager I believe. I’m not a programmer, so you’d have to dig into what package supports that GUI. But somebody has written that GUI to add Wireguard in the VPN section.

Serious question: is it easier to build your own than expand on what’s already developed?

I have always liked Kimi. Decade back they asked him how he won and in his monotone accent he basically said something like “I take da toorns, I press da gas, da car go fast”. I’m paraphrasing, but his total lack of ego coming through is always funny to me.

That brings back memories. Dino Eggs, and Satan’s Hollow got the most screen time, even though things like Impossible Mission and Beachhead |I were more actoin and actual speech for sounds.

Their web site lists USA first…maybe that’s an American thing. Lol

Yep, tape is still used as major archiving today, it has the best longevity for large amount of data.

The diskettes are possibly toast then, unless you can read the blocks on the disk individually to get info off of them.

The C64 sound chip is pretty amazing it was half a digital chip and half analog. People still buy the old scavanged sound chips for use in modern electronic sound emulators.

Mecha Systems is a USA based company. Since USA is actively destroying relations around the globe, and threatening sovereignty , there is no way I’d buy this even though it’s a neat idea.

In other news Adidas launches the No Shoe campaign for Palestinian kids that have lost both legs. It consists of the addidas logo sticker and an empty box.

He moved all the way up to 0 class

What the animal’s skeleton looks like. Or How the animal’s skeleton looks.

USA? No thanks
