The very definition of genocide.

You’d think that Israelis would be more self-aware, but there’s plenty of videos of them cheering the seige of Gaza and the bombing of children. I don’t want to paint them all with the same brush, but there’s a metric fuckload of people in those crowds.

Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo’s lead was.

Who knows, with inflation the way it is, maybe it’ll be $200M for a Big Mac by the time he retires. ;)

Dude doesn’t sound like the kind of guy who has $200 million. Or could ever earn it in a lifetime.

So, a few things…

Most homes that I’ve been in have electricity. If you have a wall socket, you have a car charger. You might not be doing 500km every day, but you’ll be charging.

Second, most underground parking spots can have a 15A, 20A, or 50A plugs installed. My office has underground parking, and every stall has a 120V 15A plug, included in the monthly cost of parking… PLUS it has 10 L2 chargers available, which aren’t available to the general public. This article probably only includes public infrastructure, but there is a metric fuckload of private infrastructure as well.

Last, I’ve done trips from Montreal to Havre St Pierre (via Lac St. Jean!) and on a different trip, to Gaspé. The charging network is already very, very good. Even places without cell coverage have MULTIPLE public overnight chargers – I was astounded that Saint Michael du Squatec had three publicly available chargers, plus a campground that will let you plug into a 50A socket for free. On both trips (which lasted a month each) I had to wait for a fast charger just two times. Once for 10 minutes, and another for about 30. I realize this will change as more electric cars hit the roads – but every company (The Electric Circuit, Chargepoint, Flo, major gas station brands) are all installing new infrastructure weekly.

Monterey still gets security updates. :)

Really? I just handed down a 2017 MacBook Pro – still supported by Apple, meaning it runs the latest OS, and gets patches.

Can you give me an example of any other device with longer software support from the original vendor, at no cost to the end user?

Yeah, Belleville… Competing for first place in the race to the bottom, neck-and-neck with Peterborough for the towns with the most brainwashed idiots. All they need to do now is try and arrest some cops at the local police station.

But they were restoring all my posts and comments for weeks after I deleted them.

This is what Superchargers are. The snag is that during busy weekends, the batteries eventually hit zero, and everyone is capped at 72kW, because that’s what the AC/DC transformer can provide.

Uh, no. A decent UPS is $300-500, and replacement batteries can be had for under $100, and if you keep the unit cool and clean, batteries should last 3 to 5 years.

Also, if your UPS has 12V 7Ah batteries, you can sometimes find 12V 9Ah batteries in exactly the same form – so you get slightly longer run times after you replace the batteries the first time.

Hydrogen Peroxide can discolour white fabrics if left too long. Apply it, let it fizz for a minute, then use an old toothbrush to scrub both sides of the fabric for a minute or so, then wash in cold water immediately.

Hammer?

But seriously, cement is made with limestone, and cleaning vinegar (10% acetic acid) dissolves hard water in kettles super easily… I’m not a chemistry guy, but I’d give that a try.

I work in IT. Most systems have laughable security. Passwords are often saved in plain text in scripts or config files. I went to a site to help out a very large provincial governmental organization move some data out of one system and into another. They sat me down with a loaner laptop and the guy logged me into his user account on the server. When I asked for escalated privileges, he told me he’d go get someone who knew the service account passwords.

After a few minutes, I started poking around on my own… And had administrative access within an hour. I could read the database (raw data), access documents, start and stop the software, plus, figured out how to get into the upstream system that fed data to this server… I was working on figuring out the software’s admin password when the guy came back. I’m sure that given some more time, I could have rooted the box because the OS hadn’t been updated in years.

Oh, yeah… But you have to admit, it kinda explains the behaviour in a concise and plausible fashion though, based on the facts we do know.

Heh. Can you tell my parents? I’m pretty sure both of them would suck this guy’s dick if he showed up at their house. I’ve tried various ways to explain that they’re in a cult, but yeah, they’re in way too deep.

I find it hard to believe that the folks in France who work in government have forgotten that protesting is the compromise people made to have their voices heard… The alternative being the separation of heads from necks as the first step in the revolution.

This is dumb anyway - nobody is going to pump 1MW into a car, the grid can’t support it, never mind a supercharger-style station with between 8 and 20 plugs. A 20-plug Supercharger needs around 1.5MW to serve each station with 72kW.

And really, when I’m on a road trip, after 3h in the car, I need a break that’s long enough to hit the bathroom, grab a bite to eat, and stretch my legs. The car is usually charged to 90% in under 45 minutes anyway, even if I roll into the charging station at under 5%…

I’m going to test blocking YouTube for having unskippable ads. :)

I’m truly surprised there hasn’t been a successful YouTube competitor in the last decade or so.

I suspect the problem is that people wouldn’t even pay a penny per video to content creators. From what I’ve seen of other competing video sites, there’s a really serious moderation issue stopping them from wide adoption… So many of the competing sites are full of flat earth / anti-vax / pro-fascism content…
