I never click on these, but I feel like if they made it explicit that this ad is to determine whether this kind of game is wanted, I’d feel much better clicking on it.

I’ve been disturbed to see an increasing number of purple parroting character assassination points about Zelenskiy.

How are they handling this? Would a VPN get you around it or is it based on where the service subscription is based?

Speaking of degrading search results, people have begun phrasing questions like they would search queries so much that now when you search “how to X” it seems more likely to find a person posting a question worded “how to X” than it is to find actual answers.

What is meaningful, is what I want to know.

5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a crazy game.

Sounds like typical politicians.

Yeah, I just realized what they intend and am thinking the same thing. It sounds like they intend a closed rail network between the ports to eliminate things like customs, but it’s still gonna take at least a day of processing on each end of that.

I feel like a canal between Ranong and Chumphon wouldn’t be too bad at around 27mi (43km).

So, the statute of limitations on stolen property is one year in California, so probably not possible.

Yikes! That’ can’t have been easy to replace.

Yep, that’s the stuff! They tried to fish the new PEX line through by pulling it with the old stuff, but it broke apart in several places when trying to pull it out.

I recently had to have my 1980s house’s water main connection replaced because they used some experimental flexible hose material from the late 80s and it’s all starting to embrittle and fail now. Wouldn’t have happened with PEX…

I’ve been reading about PEX now and it sounds like it only became commercially viable to produce in large volumes in the 1990s, even thought it’s existed as a form of polyethylene since the 1930s. It’s just now becoming cheap enough to be used everywhere because it’s obviously better and we have lots of material performance data on it.

I thought PEX was just an industry term for HDPE pipes, but no, you’re right. The X stands for crosslinked and irradiation is one of (the more expensive) ways of achieving it. It sounds like most common PEX is made by adding peroxides to the HDPE or LDPE before extrusion and the chemical causes the thermoplastic to become a thermoset after the heat and pressure of the extruder. Neat stuff.

Nothing would solidify a sitting president’s hold on power more than an invasion. Do you want a third term of Trump? Because that’s the only way that could happen

I’m surprised I haven’t heard that as an explanation for the anti-wfh people yet. That’s a good one.

SteamOS has been a big boon to the Linux gaming world.

So about the same as US student loans? Sounds like a good amount of debt to put him in.

It’s surely sturdy, but it also looks like a death trap in a storm. But mostly it looks like he never came up with a solution to his drifting-backwards-faster-than-he-can-paddle-forwards problem that plagued his previous attempts. It’s got so much sail area and so little control surface that even a little wind will blow him around.

He’s never making it to Europe in that.

Haven’t you been around Reddit before this? The overwhelming opinion is pro-nuclear and nothing has changed here.
