The moon rotates about once every 28ish days, the same as it’s orbit. That’s what being tidally locked means.

There is such a huge difference in the masses of the earth and moon that although the moon is slowing the rotation of the earth, the earth’s rotation is also speeding up the moon’s orbit. The faster orbit is causing the moon to move farther away from the earth.

The problem with these weapons has been that many of the bomb let’s have failed to detonate upon landing, only to explode months/years later when handled by cucilians (often children). The US says that the new cluster bombs are much more reliable. Ukraine wants these weapons to use within their own territory, as they are most effective for penetrating trenches. Ukraine should be allowed to decide how best to defend themselves.

Do you think he was vanquished or paid off? He’s never criticized Putin directly, just those working under him.

Which boomers? All of them?

And I was hoping to get away from all the memes and boomer blaming…

If you lived in the country before TV, internet, gaming, or even electricity, you would probably have seen a lot more possums especially when you’re hunting them for tomorrow’s dinner.

What would happen if a Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn employee announced where they work?
They would probably get asked about their jobs.

Probably more trouble than you’re looking for, but I run an Asterisk VOIP server. I keep a couple long term numbers and sometimes cycle through disposable numbers.

This is why I’m not deleting my reddit posts and comments. It’s not worth making the whole world a tiny bit worse just to punish one company.

I can’t see it at all.

Ancient history.

The whole PS/2 & OS/2 fiasco is probably what pushed the once great IBM away from hardware and software production into managed services and consulting which is where they make their money now. They are a contract sales driven company. Quarterly sales targets & bonuses is a good way to motivate the sales team. The problem is that IBM concider everything other than sales an expense to be minimized. They do not invest. They market. “Watson” did not represent AI innovation. It was just a marketing tool.

IBM/Redhat only HAS to provide their source code to paying customers. That is what they are doing. They will also refuse to do business with entities that use the source to release the source or use it in a derivative distro.

This violates the spirit of open-source. IBM benefits from the work of thousands of programmers for free, but refuses to reciprocate. They are de facto close sourcing their code.

You can also bet of the fact that IBM will decrease their development of Redhat (more layoffs) over time as they emphasize short term profits.

I feel like google used to be the good guys relative to apple. They were more open and truly supported open source & standards. But I don’t feel like there’s much difference anymore.

Cheap electronics is all I buy from Ali exp.

In my suburban town you can’t turn around without bumping into a credit union branch. They all work together cooperatively too. The only reason I ever go into a branch is for my safe deposit box.
