It's like my university campus removing all ashtrays to stop people from smoking.


Correct. Voting federally isn't going to fix the situation. The last chance for that was November 2024 and it even turns out that was a lie.

If you want voting to matter, local and state elections are the only ones that can affect change, because for now the states still have their national guard. If enough state governments flip to blue, then there's at least a chance things can be salvaged.



Right? I have my mower on the second to highest setting. If you mow it too short you're just letting the soil dry out faster.


I think the existing telecoms tied them up in mountains of legal bullshit.


It's kind of cheating, but [Popplagið] by Sigur Rós. I'd argue that the vocals in it are instrumental, since they're in a made-up language consisting of gibberish words.


Did you read the article? Certain models have an option to handle recognition locally. That option is what's going away.

And no, a device doesn't have to call home to recognize the wake word. The microphone loops on a local cache waiting for the wake word.


My wife's 90 year old grandma was able to pick up Mint with absolutely no issue. Just put the shit she needed on the desktop and that was that.


Unless you're redlining your systems 24/7, the load really shouldn't be that bad.


My first gen i7 would still be going strong if the mobo hadn't started dying. Especially running Linux.



Do you have any statistics regarding how likely a water eruption is? Because I microwaved water daily for nearly a decade without issue.

The turnstile removes most of the risk because super heating is a lot more difficult with moving water. Plus, most glasses aren't perfectly smooth and have plenty of imperfections to provide nucleation points.


I think explosions were more common with microwaves that don't have turnstiles. The movement of the water helps prevent super heating to that point.


It's because the microwave gets the water a bit hotter than boiling. Just give it like 15 seconds and it shouldn't foam.


While I own one, it's another appliance that takes up space.


But boiling a tea bag is wrong no matter what your heat source is.


You know you can wait like 15 seconds before opening the microwave and putting something in, right? Even with my electric kettle I give it a few seconds before doing anything.


I'm not sure why the hate for microwaves exist. It's literally just another method for making water move fast. It has absolutely no impact on the final product, as hot water is hot water no matter the heat source.
