I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.

It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…

It’s a very visible thing when people do it. It’s not common where I’m from, but if 1,000 other people go to a store, then just one person leaving a cart in an awkward place pisses off 999 others.

It doesn’t take much to make it seem like a lot of people are being inconsiderate, when it’s much more likely that a small minority of people have a very wide reaching emotional impact.

Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.

No, that would be an awful thing to do. You have to allow people to zealously defend themselves from any accusation. Also, in the US, the fifth amendment protects the citizens from being forced to testify against themselves. So punishing someone for pleading not guilty would directly violate the 5th amendment.

What in the world is this supposed to mean?

Can’t anymore, there are too many to give that much coverage.

You already orbit Lagrange points, and there’s already tons of space rocks milling about in them.

Lagrange points are weird.

I wonder if a 6.5mm would be within tolerance to be compatible with 1/4" plugs.

Because requiring blond hair and blue eyes would, by definition, exclude people based on race.

Just about any dog can do it, as long as you can find a good reward system for the dog. Mine loves playing fetch, so once we find the person we’re looking for, that person gives her lots of attention and fetch play.

It took a lot of work, and a lot of help from other people, but she’s really good at it now.

Tracking lost humans

Taught my dog to smell a clothing item, and she can distinguish the right person and follow the footfalls that person walked. She is pretty reliable up to about 18-36 hours old depending on weather conditions.

Maybe add “that can be understood by most experts in the relevant field of study living today” to those questions, cause you might get something incomprehensible in the response.

That’s literally why they said they don’t connect them to the Internet. Just get a separate streaming service and forget about updates or internal software.

Damn, that’s pretty slow. An ebike can easily match that speed.

That would certainly make it so everyone can share the road comfortably, and encourage more non-car traffic.

Any current smartphone would be the best digital camera that exists by a mile, even if they didn’t have Internet access.

Wait, this sounds really familiar.

There’s a really good interview with Rushkoff on the You Are Not So Smart podcast, gives more context to the story and has some great info.

That’s my point though. They don’t really address how McCoy got the glasses he gave to Kirk in Star Trek II. Did he buy them? Did he just ask someone for them? Did he barter for them for services?

Same thing with alcohol, some people pull out alcohol they obtained through some back alley, black market deal. But what was traded for this black market alcohol?
