The sun never sets on the British empire!

It would be hilarious if Trump’s, Israel’s and Iran’s actions end up triggering significant climate action out of the sheer cost of continuing to burn oil. The last fuel crisis in the 70s actually caused significant amounts of research into alternatives and some interesting electric vehicles were actually released during that time

You laugh but several members of Congress bought stocks in defense contractors shortly before this military operation

Meh, skill issue

Realistically the design goals of a gaming OS vs a general desktop OS aren’t that different. You want to balance performance, batterlife/power consumption, and making sure it withstands insane abuse by users and software doing anything you could never imagine that nobody should have ever tried to do. About the only design goal that separates SteamOS from Windows is fleet manageability features

Yeah I’ve purposely broken some fiber just to learn what kind of stress it can handle. I had to literally fold it over on itself to snap it

And for unidirectional we’re rapidly approaching 1.2Tb at the top end. 400Gb and 800Gb are becoming pretty standard in the datacenter world. Fiber is wild!

I mean, we already had a cop empty their entire mag into the woods because a walnut fell onto his car

These are the privileged individuals who get good media coverage (read: conventionally attractive young white women) and have wealth and/or connections. Everyone knows that if this is how they’re treating the most privileged of people, it’s going to be 100x worse for those who aren’t as privileged. Covering abuses in the news that are indefensible makes it much harder to ignore the less black and white abuses that are happening every day

This is also why the above map is based on LA County and not the City of Los Angeles, because LA County is full of small ~100k population cities that make up the larger Los Angeles area. This is also part of the challenge in larger efforts to improve LA’s urban design, as every couple of miles you have an entirely different city government to work with

My wife worked with someone related to the owner of Al Capone’s favorite bar to lie low in when things got too hot in Chicago. She was told to namedrop her relative if she’s ever in Vegas and when she finally did she immediately got the ultra-VIP treatment

I live in a small town in Wisconsin. The bars happen to also be the best restaurants. Doesn’t make them not bars if they serve food

Don’t worry, Wisconsin’s top lobbying organization by dollars spent will speak to you for the state populace

The state of Michigan exists on both sides of the great lakes (which are effectively freshwater oceans, containing their own maritime economies, marine salvage operations, maritime weather and even famous lost ships) so there’s the Michigan mainland which contains major cities like Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, but then there’s the “upper penninsula” which is heavily wooded and some consider a continuation of the “north woods” of Wisconsin.
