I loved Torque Test Channel’s take on the whole metric thing… https://youtu.be/2QUum9NymZY

It looked wrong when I first clicked it, but then sort of restarted and corrected itself, almost like it started with the wrong data cached.

Sometimes they are just broken. Bad scales, sensors, etc. Kroger’s converyor style checkouts are especially bad.

Crazy answer: The moon to 1969. Imagine, Apollo 11 launches to land on the moon then suddenly a second one appears in space orbiting opposite the original.

Less crazy but still far reaching: a tazer to the theater the night of the Lincoln assassination. I wonder how different the U.S. would be if Lincoln had survived and the resonstruction period gone differently.

Somewhat more plasuable: enough documentation and evidence to convince someone high up in U.S. intelligence in 2000 that I am a time traveler then everything we have on the world trade center attack. I’m curious how different things would be if that had failed. Maybe bush only gets one term and the whole U.S. political situation shifts for the better. Maybe a less destabilized middle east avoids the worst of ISIS and with fewer syrian refugees, right wingers in Europe are less successful, Brexit fails, and Russia declines to invade Ukraine.

At least half of us are below average.

It is not even a thin client for Azure. It is a physical front end for one specific, Azure based VM product. It doesn’t even support AVD which would have made it interesting for lab and classroom setups and given it a bit more utility.

He could run again as a placeholders VP, then have the placeholder resign after taking office. This would bypass the can only be “elected” twice rule.

Yes, there is an amendment that requires a VP to meet the same eligibility requirements as the president that should prevent this, but a corrupt court could rule that since that amendment does not explicitly mention term limits, those do not apply…

That or maybe politics Friday when those posts are allowed?

I think of them like planets.

The Ford Maverick looks like the larger trucks in style but is unibody, so it is Pluto. Looks like a planet, considered by many to be one, but technically a “dwarf planet”

The Santa Cruz is Ceres. Round, definitely planet like, but harder to call a planet.

The Cybertruck is Arrokoth. Few would mistake it for a planet. Weird looking, misproportioned, and way out there…

I’m not concerned that they followed the best advice of their lawyers to respond to the legal and political challenges that currently exist.

I am concerned that hostile nation states (define those as you will) have made supply chain attacks (remember the xz Utils backdoor) so common that actions like this or worse are becoming necessary and that open source, globally contributed software could be at risk.

I skipped the 2021 version, and while my 2019 is still holding strong, I don’t know that it will make it to the mini 8 (if one is even made. Especially if that takes 3 more years.) This looks to be a solid upgrade from 2 gen back. Double the ram and storage, usbc.

I may not buy one tomorrow, but possibly soon.

When, given a choice between doing something fun and something necessary that can be easily put off, you default to doing the necessary.

Trump seems to always exceed expectations, so I fear he will almost certainly win unless a health condition forces him out of the race.

However, I have consistently under estimated Harris, so maybe I’ll be wrong yet again and she will be the one to overperform…

Yes and no. For close friends, family, and long time coworkers. I care that you had a good trip, that mom and baby are healthy, and would not mind a few photos. But that’s it. I don’t need a 500 page travel album or daily baby pics.

Self driving cars and fusion. I’m still optimistic about fusion.

4′33″. I hate that melody and would rather just listen to silence.

Washcloths are used once then go in the hamper. Towels 3-5 days. Sheets 1-2 times per month (showering at night and wearing pajamas…, plus keeping the house colder at night)
