I think home photography was still pretty new 30-40 years ago, might be why some families were weirdly oversharing with baby photos? Idk.

It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.

How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

Yes, and it's very frustrating. People don't realize how difficult the life of a produce farmer is. There's a reason we tie all the produce into the ground. Potatoes used to be a fucking nightmare before we started doing it the new way, burying them in dirt.

Do you have any idea how high a potato jumps if given the chance?

I don't know how suitable this is, but I instantly thought of it as sort of comparable to bacteria in the wild, compared to the same bacteria moved to a sterile environment and being fed growth medium. The latter can grow to vastly larger quantities in a comparable area, maybe even in a giant vat. But if there's enough of a problem with the single source of growth medium, some kind of contamination or just no more supply, the whole colony dies. It's a more successful colony, but in a potentially far less stable state unless the conditions can continue to be kept that good.

Oh, I get it. Didn't know Scrabble actually had a blank piece to be used like that. It's been a very long time for me, and very few games overall.

The shorthand to avoid writing sexual assault isn't an actual word.

Only one can likely be credited as directly causal to a human extinction, but I'd think several factors can end up contributing to keeping us grounded even if we stick around for several additional millennia. And we could to some extent experience several of them simultaneously. For example if it is necessary to successfully create one or more technically possible (unbeknownst to us) technologies, but they remain unproven for the entirety of our species span of life on Earth. And while this is attempted, we end up with shortages that make soace exploration and colonization politically impossible, as the resources are never allocated for the purpose.

In this case we'd have both problems, but solving either one of them would still not get us out there.

In another example, perhaps even the technology is proven eventually, but due to scarcity rhe window of opportunity temporarily closes, and then wars, plagues, and a few other factors set humanity back to the stone age with a small population. Perhaps some predatory animals end up very successful at hunting us to extinction. Or perhaps we're gradually finished off by several famines.

One could maybe point one cause out as more consequential than the others, but if the problems end up being such a quagmire I'd say they all played a part in filtering out humanity from interstellar colonization.

As is.

Unless you can't play words bottom-up.

"_M" is the only one that's bad as far as I can tell.

"AS" bottom-up is probably fine? I don't know the rules. The words it could turn into by adding "racist" or "rapist" would be valid words, "sac" and "sap".

This idiocy will end this mistake of a planet. Might be for the best, if life were to spread through the galaxy from here, we'd be contaminating it with so much war, slavery and other miseries. Good luck to whatever spawns here next.

To places where trees grow.

And build with them, and make yet another Mordor.

I gave up years ago. Security fatigue permeates my entire life.

Also, it's worth noting that he would be just as dangerous with a knife or a car or a bow.

Bone-in hotdogs.

I have no idea about how to protect a password manager with an encrypted container.

And to be honest with you, it's not something I'm likely to do even if you do attempt to explain the 60 minute long $10 18-step process to me. Or however long it takes and whatever it costs.

And really, for all my ignorant ass knows you could've just as well been encouraging me to get malware and I'd be none the wiser.

I've had security fatigue for years now. I'm sure most of you have. I've written down so many usernames and passwords and it's still not half of what I have, and to top it off, several of the written passwords are now wrong after obligatory password changes and I don't remember the new ones.

Put thing in front of the door, not beside it. Make yourself have to move it away to move on without it.

Just call then out on it in talk by mentioning why you would add it.

Alternatively make an upgraded English-only wiki alternative with way larger article max sizes so we can finally evolve it past 2005. And start using YouTube links and not (just) a native video player. And start quoting/including entire chapters from relevant books.

It could, if cheap, light, efficient EVs become legal and popular in Europe.

I personally want something that would never be legal; A 4-wheeled, beefed up, 100+ km/h electric velomobile with something like CanAm Spyder tires (and track width) and a proper comfortable seat. A bit like the LCC rocket, but fully enclosed and possibly lighter.

I could get something more dangerous, like a motorcycle. While this would be in an illegal limbo between car and motorcycle.

The Renault Twizy is a too tall, simply ugly, and thoroughly nerfed version of a simile of what I wish for, and Europe will continue just vaguely trying (and complacently falling) to make speed-limited microcars for cities of type L6e and L7e the "green option" looking for adoption, but that will never reach any kind of tipping point and we all know it. Not quite designed to fail, but definitely not designed for mass adoption.

The legal limbo of what I think would be more appealing is due to both the public and the governing bodies being entirely unwilling to tolerate what safety-wise amounts to a motorcycle with a car's stability, without reducing speed. They'd never expect to successfully lock motorcycles down to "max 45 km/h", but the category of "motorcycle" is uniquely privileged as a traditionally recognized transport device permitted to trade away safety for other benefits. Presumably because the trade is explicit enough, as there's no mistaking it for a car.

Anyways...

The conclusion is that no, "it" doesn't include vehicles, and won't any time soon. The only desirable electric cars will remain massive and heavy and expensive (but thoroughly armored), so adoption will continue to be fairly slow, and they'll be a big drain on the grid.

I'll end on the note that motorcycles not being popular is a huge part of why western bureaucrats (barely) tolerate them. If this was to become popular among young guys who want a cheap fast car, it'd be extremely problematic for them, and not at all worth the accelerated energy transition.

Last note, Sierra Echo is also one I've been keeping my eye on, but since it's fast and light, it's also open-air like all these things apparently have to be. Oh, and it's also not cheap.
