Not sure it actually demonstrates the extend of the issue. My favourite way to look at it (via ThunderF00t@youtube I believe):

  • dry ice is essentially frozen CO2 ( CO2 in solid form)
  • cca 40 billion tuns per year (cca 5t per person / year, 8 billion people)
  • 1km side cube of dry ice weights cca 1.5 billion tuns (1.560 kg/m3 says wiki)

=> Burj Khalifa has 830 m - imagine huge cube of dry ice 20% taller ( or 3x eifell tower)- all that CO2 boiling off in massive clouds - than add 25 of them - each year. We've been doing this at some scale for decades....

Well If you take in account how hard has "The Chief Xit" tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child 😂 . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic 😂.

bt keyboards can be absolutelly critical for some users with disabilities. most of the developing world can't afford to own several devices like a computer and a phone.

Firefox on Android doesn't support keyboard shortcuts - for the last 12 years. Sooo - let's add the bloody AI, that is going to help

I am not an expert - just an avid knife freak - but in my experience "Stainless" means "Stain Less" not "Stain Resistent". Eg. s35vn is relatively high quality stainless knife steel - that does not mean it ain't gonna pickup stains - all mine did... I suspect one of the differences between my knifes / Elons Cybertruck vs. your cookware is that your cookware is mirror polished while my knives and the cybertruck are sporting "satin finish" which looks quite esthetically first 5 mnts - but is quite inpractical...

A colleague wanted to throw out Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3, 10IGL5 (a tablet pc with IMO cool keyboard that can be disconnected and used over bluetooth, 4 core intel CPU taking like 5W & 8GB of ram). Originally bought for his kid but it is absolutely useless under windows. I've tested it with current Ubuntu with somewhat meh results (BT keyboard won't work, no chance to get the automatic screen rotation going, screwy on screen keyboard) then I have installed Fedora and the thing is absolutely amazing. Everything works out of the box, I haven't done anything "smart" at all and honestly as a XFCE (still deep in x11) user I am amazed how well the Wayland is doing on this. I would dare to say better out of the box experience than Apple - everything is similarly polished but you don't have to register / pay anything. Now my teamleader is taking it to presentations. He connects the display over USB-C adapter to the projector, walks over the room and controls it with the BT keyboard - Mac wielding accounts are starting to cry. As docker/podman is native he continues to spin up the whole app in a container - at which point every technical person in the room needs to know what the f is that thing?! They are no longer being manufactured though, newer version does not have that cool keyboard...

PSA: I've been IDCing these (i prefer supertinkerer or climber 92? mm models) my entire life and I have actually broke one! When you inevitably break the spring on the scissors (somehow I use them the most), don't compensate with your thumb pressurering against the hinge. Have it replaced, many shops do it for free. Or in several years - you will break the scissors off just below the hinge. Didn't know/expect that was possible. If something I am below average strength. Still the best knife I know, own 1/2 a dozen, even though I confess muscle memory probably plays a big role.

...and just a few hours later: claims of being mistinterpreted (again - Guardian). Poor princeling - never even imagined someone could speak back to him and now has no idea how to act. Maybe shouldn't have left the cave after all 🤔

Well - the videos don't look very persuasive to me, I am not an expert though. But judging from the same wikipedia article experts weren't impressed either... I mean even Pentagon itself comments that

"UAP probably lack a single explanation", and proposed five possible categories of explanation: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, US government or industry development technology, foreign craft, and an "Other" category

When you say aliens - I am thinking something like the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - and all I got was learning about bokeh and paralax 😇
