I in general agree with what you wrote, but the Israel/Iran brinkmanship does feel a bit like the portrayal in this comic at times. So the comic seems relevant to recent events.

Having the receiver phone home would have the benefit of generating more accurate viewership data, where broadcast tv has historically relied on representative cohorts.
The whole point of captchas is to train bots. Did you think they were all road object and optical character recognition based because those are the categories humans really excel at?
From a product development viewpoint, the gun is an uninteresting part. It’s better to use something that already has a mature production line and has been thoroughly field tested. It’s the vision and control systems they are interested in developing, the gun is just the chosen end effector for this application.
Even when they’re ready to start deploying systems like this, there’s a lot of value in using compenents that the military already has a lot of spare parts for and that personnel know how to maintain. I wouldn’t expect a custom gun until units like this are commonplace.
Won’t someone think of the tech companies in these unprecedented times.
The focus should be on the widespread devastation to peoples lives. Who cares if the semiconductor industry has to deal with worse yields and higher prices? That’s not what matters right now.
For example, I used to use generic eye drops. Then there were a bunch of recalls on eye drops made in India because they weren’t kept sterile and people were getting eye infections. So now I make sure to only buy eye drops that are manufactured in countries with actual controls on health codes. It turns out that imposing that restriction elliminated all the generic options. I’m certainly not happy to be paying double for brand name pataday, but I don’t care to mess with the chance of eye infections.
The GOP has a supermajority in the NC House. NC has a democratic governor, who is term limited, and a right wing lt. governor. Plus the GOP state legislature went ham with gerrymandering and redistricting before this upcoming election. So the republican hold on the state might deepen.
It’s not a rescue mission. It was an already scheduled mission which is why it’s 6 months long. Two of the originally scheduled crew got their seats bumped so the boeing capsule test asteonauts would have seats for a normal return. Wilmore and Wiliams could have returned in the other spacex capsule that was already up there in case of emergency. They were never stranded.
The bad flooding is because of how steep those areas are. Down in Florida, water takes a while to make its way into the creeks, streams, and rivers. The areas with the most extreme flooding is because entire mountainsides worth of rainfall drains in the span of a couple days.
Eastern TN and western NC also had a ton of rainfall from thunderstorms just before Helene so the ground was already saturated. For reference check out this rain gauge in Asheville.
The rain from Helene didn’t really get to Western NC until the early hours of Friday the 27th. That gauge was already at 10 inches by that time. So really the storm before Helene brought more rain than Helene did. Either the thunderstorm or Helene alone would have been moderate, but manageable flash floods, but the two back to back was insane.
It would seem that archeologists know how to preserve things.
A smart tv without an internet connection is usually close enough to a dumb TV. It’s not like your TV needs regular security updates so leaving it off your home network is fine.
Likely unrelated, but after I’ve cut raw garlic cloves everything feels weird, almost sticky, no matter how much I wash my hands.
Props to whoever made that bottle and stopper. That note is in fantastic condition.
My guess is the clickbait title and photo.
My favorite resource for info on tropical storms is tropicaltidbits.com. It’s definitely worth checking out if you aren’t already familiar.
Revenge of the Titanic.
Hulk Hogan autographed photos and t shirts are $15 -$50 on ebay. Wrestling collectors would probably rather have something wrestling related rather than a book. So not much value.
Or get a $25 digital multimeter that can be used for a wide variety of diagnostic purposes.
It’s one-sided…
