They say it’s a voice box panel for a robot.

As long as you don’t jump on AAA title games on launch day, you’ll be fine gaming on Linux.
That, or if you are a fortnite, LoL addict… Those don’t work for reasons totally up to the devs.
A pawn also magically disappears in the second image.


Mocking up whole websites seems like a pain. With a Pihole, you can create different service groups for computers and apply a whitelist to just their machines. Plus you get adblocking too!


The ladder is kinda plush for her. Normally she hangs out on the power cable for the camera…



Selene enjoying her new ladder and getting a good look at her UVB bulb.
Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.
Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.
Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. That is something most movies can’t even manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.
Well done. No notes.
If I was carrying and there was an active shooter, I sure as hell would run or hide before fighting.
You don’t know who the active shooter actually is. Maybe the guy you saw with a gun is a plainclothes or off duty cop who is responding to the actual active shooter. Maybe there is more than one shooter, and confronting the one you see makes you a target for the one you don’t. Maybe the cops find you after shooting the active shooter, and assume you are the perpetrator.
For clarification, I don’t carry a gun, I just used myself as an example to simplify the text.
A gun doesn’t stop you from getting shot, it just gives you a chance to shoot back.
Yes, I know you were being sarcastic.
I get the point the comic is trying to make, but saying that more guns means more people die from guns isn’t really a “gotcha”… In places with fewer guns, fewer people are using guns to do their murderings.
I’d be more interested in a graph that shows total murders per capita compared to gun ownership per capita.
Before I get dog-piled, I’d like to add that I know that there are too many guns in the US, and the process to buy a firearm is surprisingly lax. I do think there is a relationship between gun ownership and the murder rates, and the fact that most school shootings don’t even make the news anymore (and if they do, it’s for less than a day) indicates that the frogs have been completely boiled at this point.


Long story short, logistics benefits from scale. The cost to ship a pallet of poptarts to a store is roughly the same as shipping half a pallet. Smaller stores can’t really undercut larger corporations because they don’t have the scale.
Also when your mom and pop store doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they go under. When a Walmart doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they stay open because they have those loses spread across hundreds of other Walmarts.


It’s the implementation part of ending net neutrality, the legal framework was put in during Trump’s last administration. Goal is to make your home network entirely managed and visible to your ISP, who has huge incentives (financial and otherwise) to comply with government requests for information and censorship.


More realistic option is 15 other Logitech wireless device receivers, and you don’t know which one goes to your current mouse and keyboard, so you just leave them all plugged in.
At least, that is my experience working in IT. Personal record was 6.
So you think the species only became a “super power” because it hit 8 billion individuals? If so, then I’ve got some e coli cultures that would bring humanity to it’s knees.

Yep, magic right there.
Sees nuclear power plants
What sorcery is this?!
Observes EVs, heat pumps, biofuels…
Mysteries beyond the comprehension of man!
I’d say agriculture made us a super power before fossil fuels, but even then, humans were wiping out other species during the hunter/gatherer phase. (Not a lot of giant sloths around any more…)
It’s definitely a wrong answer.
