I had to re-read it 3 times to not read retard-itude. That may not have been the best naming choice ever.

I’m not sure why you are getting down votes.

The reasons fur the demand sick, but you are correct, demand is fast outstripping supply… Price rises are inevitable.

I’m conflicted.

As an “enemy” of Putin, I have to assume assignation, but no windows? Russia has lots its way, are the classics no longer respected.

I understand this…a lot. Cookies/chips/snacks etc, they come in single serve containers, it doesn’t matter how big the bag/box is.

Tip.

1. Buy bag of cookies
2. Split cookies into 10 small containers
3. Have two(ish) cookies as a reward for completing this task
4. Use “whole” containers as a reward for other tasks throughout the week.

Probably from the chemical properties; very unlikely from radiation.

Reading through this. There are plenty of carcinogenic chemicals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt…

I would like to add some context.

I used to work in a factory; we had two machines that were designed in the 80’s. Both had the “upgrade” package purchased some time back; they were running the latest WinXP (home) on embedded computers.

The company went out of business sometime in the early 00’s; the replacement from a competitor was $7M USD (but only in the states) ~$15M NZ to ship and install.

So for ~$30M we could replace perfectly working equipment with something that did the same job…because of an old computer. We would have achieved no extra production, or better quality. So the decision was, every year, keep it going as is.

It sometimes is not as simple as “you should have upgraded already”.

The contingency plan I helped implement was to virtualise the application in a VM on the main server; run the comms to the embedded system using a serial to ethernet converter. I tested it a lot and found that it worked very well…never put it into production as it was “backup only” but it was better than hoping it wouldn’t fail. The embedded systems themselves were relatively simple with replacement components that were not too difficult to get hold of.

A few years riding a bike will do the same.

The Shart and the Steal

This joke was used in Hancock, car instead of boy. But a bunch of people got angry at Hancock for destroying a train rather than lifting the car out of the way.

Absolutely kick arse Te Reo metal.

What the hell; light bars, these are critical…you will never be afraid of the dark again with 1,000,000 lumen light bars.

“Yes it’s true, this man had no dick”

I was hoping to day this same thing.

I would ask why they would even apply? Have you no honor; you are stinking rich, there is no possible situation where you would need the scholarship…so why even apply.

The only way that this works in my head is if these are the initial recipients of a new perpetual scholarship from the “Lopez foundation” or similar. Thus paying it forward for generations; rather than just a rich person pissing contest saying look my kids with the best tutors in the world beat out everyone else for another scholarship.

I got used to it really quickly.

It even got me looking up a bunch about old runes. Maybe we should bring back ᛝ, ŋ (ing); then the word thing looks like þŋ or ᚦᛝ

A salad bushido to you too sir!

From wiki.

assuming:

• Ballistic trajectory – no other forces are acting on the object, such as propulsion and friction.
• No other gravity-producing objects exist.

Ignoring atmospheric drag, it would.

I know what I did

The circle of life.

The way to eliminate the risk is a lot more complex tracking wise but worth it for the risk reduction.

Effectively using spread focus tracking; multiple lower powered lasers provide the power to destroy the mosquito but no single laser has enough energy to damage your eye.

It would require extremely accurate positioning and pointing of the lasers and most likely two cameras for the tracking to get accurate distance to target. I thought of this years ago…but never really cared enough, I live in an area with no mosquito issues.
