Gotta be careful, though.

probably because of the friction, otherwise rockets would be replaced with cannons.

Well, they’re not exactly using cannons, but we do have SpinLaunch. It comes with a lot of impractical limitations, but it’s still pretty cool.

Agreed, but maybe we can hope it won’t be crammed down our throats quite so hard as investors stop demanding such big returns?

A girl can dream, anyway…

I’ve heard this so many times on the Internet that I never ask. However, I actually have had many employees still suggest it, and they come back with something with surprising frequency.

Electric

So… Are ya Chinese or Japanese?

I was introduced to the comics in German, and I find it interesting that his name varies so much. In Germany, he goes by Miraculix.

This one pisses me off so much because it takes my car a few seconds to start playing music, and the buttons don’t work while I’m backing up because my laggy/buggy “infotainment” system doesn’t respond while the backup camera is active.

So I start my car, put it in reverse, and start backing out of my garage, only to have my ears melted by the previous driver’s listening preference, and I can’t even adjust the volume until I take it out of reverse.

Until they do.

No, you misunderstood. It’s five "nein"s. As in:

“Is it available now?”

“Nein, nein nein nein NEIN!”

Don’t expose it to UV or excessive heat.

Also, the process is somewhat reversible: Retrobright

However:

The long-term effectiveness of these techniques is unclear. Some have discovered the yellowing reappears, and there are concerns that the process weakens and only bleaches the already damaged plastic.

Are you accessing your media from outside of your network?

I have heard that you need to set up a VPN for Jellyfin to securely use your media library remotely. Plex handles all of that for me so that I don’t need to deal with it.

Also, working upward, 3+2=5, “1”+5=“15”.

I wonder which “inspired” path it chose.

I have no speaker, and I still scream.

Oh, I see you disabled JavaScript. Keep up the good work, my fellow cleanweb person!

Notice that there might be trace amounts of JS, used for e.g. runnable JS code blocks and interactive demos. JS is not required for use of the website though, it’s only enhancing the existing functionality.

I like to see people practicing what they preach!

I always like to think of “Hubschrauber” as “hübsch Räuber”.

According to the EPA, the average American family of four uses about 400 gallons of water per day, or 12,000 gallons per month. This feels high to me, but we’ll use that.

So, 30 million gallons is roughly the monthly usage of 2,500 four-person households, or the daily usage of 75,000 homes.

Similar results with NoScript.

This volume requires JavaScript. That is part of the point — your browser is what is being read.

With JavaScript off, the page cannot tell you what your browser disclosed. The data is still there. The disclosure still happened. Only the telling of it stops.

The fact that they’re stopped from “the telling” says a lot about their abilities, but not much about “the disclosure”.

I imagine it was just stuff collected in most server logs: IP Address, user agent string… I’m not too concerned, really.

I’m sure it’s to give you a sense of “pride and accomplishment” when you give up and fix it yourself “adopt digital self‑solve”.
