If I know my bad Japanese movies correctly, the radiation is going to mutate that robot until it is 80 feet tall and only Gamera will be able to stop it.

Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you’re young that you don’t realize you’ll regret when you’re older.

Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?

It seemed like the person I was talking to didn’t. The implication was that tape was viable as long-term storage. It isn’t. I’ve seen tapes rot after a year. DATs were especially prone to that, but even things like 2" multitrack audio tape can go bad that quickly.

As a former audio engineer in the days where we still used it- tape can rot.

But we do have originals of many other texts. Like vast, vast amounts of cuneiform texts because they were usually pressed into a clay tablet and then baked.

All but four Mayan paper codices were burned, but the Mayans loved carving their stories into rocks and making those rocks part of their cities’ architecture, so we still have a lot of their textual information. Same with the Egyptians- they wrote a lot on papyrus, and most of that is lost, but they also carved and painted all over tombs.

The secret is not to keep copying the texts. That introduces errors and those errors can compound. The secret is to preserve the texts in a medium which will only degrade over exceptionally long periods of time (compared to a human life, anyway).

If you had a device which could carve stored data into stone and make it retrievable again, you could potentially preserve that data for thousands of years.

Well that’s a different issue.

Really? For me it only shows friends and groups I’m actually in.

Stupid, I know, but it does work.

I am not against this.

They really need to name-and-shame beyond “Facebook Partner” considering we’re talking about fucking Cox Media Group.

With all the SUVs out there these days, I’d be worried about riding anything that low to the ground in 2024.

Fun fact: Idiocracy came out the same year Google bought YouTube.

My TVs are pre-smart TV and only 1080p and I have yet to feel that I was missing anything important.

I imagine coding frames so that they worked well on both desktop and mobile would be a major pain in the ass.

How about just the userbase? I’d say that changed for the worse. A lot worse. And if you don’t think so, I hope you enjoy yelling about Jews at your next khakis and tiki torches march.

Firmware updates should not cost a subscription fee and could open them up to lawsuits.

Waymo cars are not owned by individuals, so that seems like their idea is already implementable as-is.

Cool. You found the one currency the dollar had a lot of fluctuation against in the past week. Good job. Too bad it’s the dollar and the euro whose values are the ones that generally match each other and how it’s usually measured.

Also too bad I gave you lots of weeks and you gave me one.

Go ahead and let me see your source though. Here’s mine:

It’s already significantly changed percentagewise since I posted that screenshot from less than an hour ago. It’s now +1.9%. Even the dollar vs. the yen did not change that much in less than an hour.

This is a ridiculous hill to die on. This is such a known problem with Bitcoin that stablecoins had to be invented.

I do live in America and why you think milk costs significantly more from one week to the next I don’t know. Even if the price rises, we’re talking pennies per week. Far less than Bitcoin fluctuates.

I have no idea why you’re even trying to argue that the dollar fluctuates as much in value as Bitcoin because that’s just demonstrably false. This is the current fluctuation of Bitcoin value. If the value of a dollar changed by one percent in a day, that would be huge. Seven percent? That would be a disaster.
