Well of course you do. You little scamp.

Yeah… I left the door open for that answer, should have realised someone would let themselves in.

It’s Lemmy so I feel compelled to ask… You want to die as Henry Cavill watching Kevin Costner get choked out by an anime chick?

As Kevin Costner being choked out an anime chick while Henry Cavill watches?

Or as an anime chick choking out Kevin Costner while Henry Cavill watches?

The vision is there too, immanently doable to set up. You could shoot this very shot with a barely functional camera 5 bucks of supplies and 15 minutes to set up and get the shot.

Such a waste.

I mean, you can make anything run on batteries over a short enough time scale.

Cat manufacture? Surely you just shove them in an alley and let nature take its course. With enough alleys I can beat them. 😜

Yeah they should stick to politics where they belong.

Plus a fine issued directly to the C suite, calculated the same way. Calculated on total pretax package and stock values. Make the decision makers fine payers and their “fiscal conservatism” might come in to play.

In a successful society these people would be prosecuted and jailed for crimes against humanity, failing that I wouldn’t mind seeing a few dozen billionaires and millionaires wind up in debtors prison.

Before I went to a laptop with somewhat shakey suspend power consumption my desktop PC was going on 18 months uptime. The reason it was only 18 months was that we had a power outage. Unfortunately Debian became a bit boring so now I use Arch BTW. So many of the problems I deal with are caused by the insistence we use Windows “because it just works”. Worst part is 95% of my workflow is browser based. Its only bloody stinking Outlook that means I couldn’t use Linux to do everything.

My first thought was that there is a gulf of difference between display, and display respectfully… But seriously how does anyone take their religion so seriously when it’s so obviously a fragile veneer, if your beliefs are that brittle maybe time to start challenging some assumptions.

Oh when I see AI shilling I see them as tools.

Yeah, maybe. Different pathways to the same end I guess still gets you to the same end… In Germany.

That’s the garden variety censorship though, right? Your government deciding no one should be allowed access, not just restricting access behind mandatory state sanctioned identity theft like some of the more “Enlightened” countries have.

I think the normies just find the niche hard to appreciate. People don’t think about things like ownership and DRM until they are forced to.

Luckily GOG isn’t affected at this stage.

Yep I can see them in search but I’m an Australian with no credit card, that’s all I can see.

I always thought the decision was made a lot earlier than that. Wasn’t it largely due to Westinghouse that America settled on 60hz 110v? Where AEG pushed 50hz 220v in Europe? That was late 1800s early 1900s from memory. World war 2 may have resulted in some rebuilding but they rebuilt along lines that were already established, the bump up to 230-240v with time and gained efficiencies is mirrored in the US with the move towards 120v at least that’s what I recall, but I must admit that outside of some Technology Connections videos I haven’t delved too deeply in recent years (and yes I know Alec would say the US technically already sends 240v but that’s not what your general appliances are rated to).

Takes a couple of litres of water before we get hot water. I have filled the kettle twice before the water was too hot to hold my hand under before. That’s roughly 3.5 litres of water just to get to the hot stuff. Luckily boiling water was a key consideration in our voltage level (actually that’s something I made up on the spot 😜) but more power equals good so… Its weird that this is a field that the US apparently just decided to let a large portion of the world be more “powerful” almost expect that if there were parts of the world settling on 240v the US would arbitarily decide they needed 500v.

Different country and all, but both are 240v in my neck of the woods, and since I live on tank water with mains water supply as a back up. Coupled with what I believe may be the most circuitous route from hot water cylinder to kitchen tap on earth (3 meters point to point yet seeming out to the local post office and back based on how long it takes to get hot water out of the tap) we use the Dishwasher to heat our water.

Which is all a very verbose way of saying “It depends on your circumstance…”

How much money does her dead husband spend on staying at Trump hotels and buying Trump cryptocurrency. Cause I think she will find that Donald J Trump is loyal… To the people paying him… For exactly as long as it takes to get paid…

Solution is clear Love. If you want Trump to hold the Saudis accountable you need to be more valuable than they are.
