I would guess they'd have rainjackets and attach waterproof containers for their stuff.

Carve-outs of the rules have way more practical implications than just making the EU name slightly ironic, though. Asking for both just seems rude to me, but I could be wrong.

The real thing I'd dread is that Euros are heavy as fuck. You have too much change in like half or less the time it takes here.

IIRC you have to factor in the explosive lenses and various neutron reflectors as well, and to get all the way to the theoretical minimum you basically need literal tons of that other stuff. Backpack/wheeled luggage/shell weight is what's public, and seems about like about as good as you can get in practice.

There's exotic choices of fission fuel with a smaller critical mass, but they're also aggressively radioactive and tend to really really difficult to produce, to the point of impracticality.

Honestly briefcaseness wasn't the main problem with OP, but it was worth commenting on.

He did shit like this in his first term, too. The word of an autocrat he likes gets more weight than his own intelligence.

I mean, we're already talking about a NATO 2.0, aren't we?

Of course, that's their decision to ultimately make.

It already probably would have been for all the other nefarious shit they do, except they've had a sympathetic fashy government somewhere else in the EU to block it. It was Poland, now it's IIRC Slovakia.

I mean, you get to put whatever on the reverse of the coins.

They were a founding member and got a special carve-out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Yes, it is. You can delay it indefinitely, though, and Romania is still on the leu. Other members have blocked them from making the switch, even.

Interesting. How fast is it? I keep waiting for AI videogame rendering, which I expect would blow conventional algorithms out of the water. (Obviously that's a bit different, because you can't predict future frames perfectly, but still)

You have to be "substantially European", which includes Cyprus, which is fully in Asia and half Turkish. Also, Greenland and to a degree Iceland aren't geographically European.

 

Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

 

It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

I just found out DivestOS is dead and could use it.

 

Refactoring gets really bad reviews, but from where I'm sitting as a hobby programmer in relative ignorance it seems like it should be easier, because you could potentially reuse a lot of code. Can someone break it down for me?

I'm thinking of a situation where the code is ugly but still legible here. I completely understand that actual reverse engineering is harder than coding on a blank slate.

Usually i don't suggest prime gaming but this game is totally worth the hassle to make a free trial subscription. The free key is for the GoG site.

DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. Sell your catch, upgrade your boat, and dredge the depths for long-buried secrets. Explore a mysterious archipelago and discover why some things are best left forgotten.

 
 

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.
