The wording makes it sound like this just happened, but I remember seeing it before. Sure enough, some of the files in GitHub were updated 10 years ago, and most at least 6 years ago.

“Hey, let’s do goat cart racing!”

I don’t know any details, but I know some devices can run on capacitors (for a while)

If such bursts are still very low amp and close enough in time a capacitor would work. If not, self-discharge would be its main enemy.

A well seasoned engine shouldn’t ever stick as long as it’s maintained.

Whoa, half an entire microwatt? /s

Seriously though, that should be enough for the sensors and stuff in hard to reach places that the article is about. They could last much longer than the devices that would communicate with them.

Besides this just being an order, this post also rather directly breaks rule A of the community. (It’s Schadenfreude)

Not all good news is uplifting news.

YES

I guess you could count the atmosphere as part of earth, then things over 100km are in little enough of the atmosphere that it’s not really ‘touching’ it the same way. (For example not generating significant lift)

I’m really liking the revised rules as of this comment. Thank you for taking this on!

So what age did he reach?

I think this one is interesting because it seems rare for the Far Side characters to actually acknowledge the absurd element like that.

Huh. Today I learned that it’s not just English slang. It’s from the language of the planet Ork.

Nevermind, I misread it and thought this was an AI directive thing you place on the server saying ‘don’t hack me bro’ - which I think would actually work because LLMs are that gullible.

Probably the dumbest part of this is that because of how LLMs work, the stern warning is likely highly effective.

Misread client side as server side, thought this was an AI directive doc thing.

(answering as though I were single of course)

I would date them if I found them attractive (which implies more femme than not) and if they have a vagina, regardless of whether they always have.

Textra doesn’t mention RCS. And I have no idea what the deal is with the first one, it’s ‘not available in my country’. I’m inclined to think either it’s lying and just means MMS or it’s tied to a specific carrier and talks directly to their servers, like the old Verizon messages app which did RCS that way.

Y/Ask Later

“We sent a letter to the US address you applied with, but didn’t receive a response”

As far as I can tell that’s still impossible, so they are just lying or it’s a different RCS (like retail custom solutions). Also that search shows SMS apps that don’t mention RCS.
