No. Or at least, I'd have it done the way Daft Punk/Yoko Taro do. You're only known as the character in costume, and not elsewise.

Otherwise, every single aspect of your life gets pried into, and you can't trust anything to be what it seems to be. Anything you say, or opinion you hold would be a headline, and anyone who claims to want to be your friend could easily be angling for your wealth/connections more than anything else.

Do they even make enough heat for that to be viable option? Most computer systems can handle a pretty low temperature before they start having problems because they're over-heating.

Stainless steel is the superior option, anyway smh

I don't know, it has the opposite effect, IMO.

It just makes them seem obnoxious, since the example they chose was a parent who was distracted with the computer open in the changing room while they were supposed to be helping their children with their skates, and literally mentions how the other parents have to navigate around the thing.

You'd be more inclined to think that they're a computer addict who can't put the the thing down for even a moment.

On top of that, the video is basically a recipe to drop the laptop and have it shatter into fine powder, if you're holding it by the corner like that.

As many as they need to get a 51st 51st state.

A fantastic amount of talking. The militaries would want to be in readiness, for example, just in case the extraterrestrials are not friendly, and the diplomatic corps would be doing their best to figure out how to communicate with them.

A lot of religions might also be thrown a bit into the air by the arrival of aliens, so there would be some chatter there, too.

Are aliens subject to human rights? Are they beings also made in God's image, etc.

oh no, you don't want to do that. The adhesive is an anti-nutrient, you see.

Completely neutralises the fibre. You're better off snacking on some blotting paper.

I'd be curious if there might also be a cultural aspect at play.

Apparently in America, their portions tend to be quite large, since the expectation is to get as much for your money as possible. Anything you can't stomach can then be taken home to finish another day.

Whereas many other places don't tend to do that. Food served in the restaurant is to be eaten there, and wanting a take-away container to take your meal home means paying extra for the container.

They're used for some trains now, though I think that a lot of them have since switched to rheostat or regenerative braking instead.

~~Slightly odd choice to use a motor instead of an eddy current brake or some such, when it's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for existing braking systems.~~

~~Is it supposed to be a quick hybrid conversion system rather than just a brake?~~

EDIT: I'm not sure if it is. The article makes it unclear, but going by the manufacturer's site, the electric motors are meant to replace the piston on the caliper, rather than using the motor itself as a brake.

It's still a mostly conventional braking system.

We had a rather nice thing going with pure HTML. Sure, it wasn't the prettiest thing, even with CSS, but almost every device could run and display it in its own way.

You didn't need a custom thing, or a bunch of extra code adjusting the webpage for each type of device that opened the web page, since that job was all done by the browser.

That's basically model routing, and has existed a while. Open AI's GPT-5 and llama-swap do that, for example. If the task is simple, it uses a smaller, less intensive model, and only uses the slower, larger one of the task is more complex.

Though most tend to operate with models on the same device/service, rather than a model run elsewhere.

 

Why is there a mother-daughter thing in the first place?

 

While kbin.social's site mentioned that they were migrating to a new provider, and as a result, the site might be experiencing some issues, kbin.social has been serving up a similar HTTP 50x errors, and that migration message for well over a month, if not more.

What happened?

 

While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it's on the menu, what about other kinds?

Can you just go "I'd like a men/women's haircut" and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

 

You wouldn't start off an e-mail with "My Dear X", or "Dearest X", since that would be too personal for a professional email, so "To X" being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to "Dear X".

 

What caused the shift from calling things like rheostats and condensers to resistors and capacitors, or the move from cycles to Hertz?

It seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, seeing as the previous terms seemed fine, and are in use for some things today (like rheostat brakes, or condenser microphones).
