Lol, that's when I quit Twitter.

Where'd he come from?

Nobody knows where he'll go.

The Triangle Trade.

If we're lucky, that'll be just enough offset the cost of the new Taiwan tarrifs.

Just realized today that my gaming PC is 12 years old, and it might finally be time for an upgrade now that new release games don't run well at low settings.

Yeah, impacts might throw debris into more steeply elliptical orbits but unless another impact at apogee gives the debris more momentum then the average level of the orbit would remain the same.

Any low-orbit kessler syndrome should be self-limiting for these reasons, without regular boosting Starlink sats will de-orbit in less than 5 years and that number drops precipitously when the sats are broken up into fragments with higher surface area to weight ratios.

"Nuff said"

I was maybe 14 before I figured out that "Nuff" is a shortened form of "Enough" rather than someone's name. XD

The fact that they'd self-select an audience that agrees with them and folks that don't wouldn't follow them.

Bittorrent is best for static data, building it into a p2p social media protocol would be pretty hacky and would scale poorly unless it was only used for sharing media content.

What you're looking for is a friend-2-friend network with onion routing, that way you only connect directly to people you trust and messages for others get passed along to the recipient through the f2f network.

Such things already exist, but I can't get anyone to try out Retroshare ( http://retroshare.cc/ ) with me because it isn't modern, polished, effortless, and mobile like corporate media.

It's not "less traceable", bitcoin is a public ledger, literally every transaction is documented on the blockchain for anyone and the IRS to see.

Site reliability engineer here, your application is both alive and dead until the monitoring server pings its health status API.

Eh, I haven't seen a set of neopronouns that seems like it'd start catching on with non-queer folks. Singular "they" is still controversial among prescriptivists and it's over 500 years old at this point.

Came to make a similar comment.

My enby gender dysphoria manifested at puberty as a constant mild depression and I just lived with it for 20 years 'til I found out that hormone treatment can be just as effective for enbys like me as it is for binary trans folks.

Over a year on HRT and I now regularly experience happiness even without any obvious trigger. My baseline mood has improved so much that literally all my friends and family have noticed and commented on it.

I obviously can't say that this will work for everyone, but I hope my experience will be helpful for any enby eggs out there who haven't considered transitioning because "hormone therapy is for trans people". I let that line of thought keep me from the joy of becoming myself for far too long.

I wish there were decent neopronouns for enbys.

The article suggests microwatt levels of continuous output.

Good enough for IoT devices, low power radio transponders, and the like.

It doesn't read like a professional hit to me, more like a vendetta by someone with a background in the military, intelligence, or organized crime.

A professional hitman wouldn't use subsonic 9mm on an unmodified glock. They'd pick a .45 and mod the gun to cycle properly on -P ammo.

What rational person would willingly become the CEO of a health insurance company? Every denial of coverage might incur such a vendetta.

Ditto the addictive or wildly expensive proprietary pharmaceuticals. I'm genuinely surprised that it's almost 2025 and we're just now getting to the corporate assassinations phase of our cyberpunk distopian timeline.
