Wow, that sucks. A few minutes can be the difference between life and death during these events. I would be so fucking mad (and litigious) if my wife died because someone couldn’t get the AED open since they didn’t have some magic code.

Here, they’re programmed not to shock if they don’t detect a shockable heart rhythm, so there’s pretty low risk as long as the spoken instructions are listened and adhered to. They were even easier to use than I thought they would be when I took my first aid training.

There was no way for them to know it would be fixed promptly (or at all, to be cheeky about Ubisoft). Flaws are still something that can result in an overall negative experience.

I hear you. It’s a pain even when you have the skills to do it. I am looking for a secondary income stream and want more people using Linux, so maybe I should offer that for people. But ugh, the ways a computer can break can be so stupid.

very slowly

Do you need it to be scalding hot the next day or something? My thermos keeps things insanely hot for like 12 hours. It’s actually pretty ridiculous because sometimes the coffee I made before 8 am is too hot to drink even by lunch.

As someone who does Linux tech support for 2 people as a hobby/because I love them, it would cost you more than $100 for all that.

But $300 for the setup and then $100 per year for support would be reasonable as long as you don’t expect me to drop everything and rush over when something changes/breaks.

My wife is a horticulturist and she has showed me some plants with sun stress that have turned a reddish purple when they’re not supposed to. Eventually, the plant will die if not given a reprieve.

Maybe there is some sort of adaptation happening where the plants have been trying to survive in a low shade environment for a long time, and being purple helps in some way, so it became permanent. But I am just speculating.

It’s about density. Think of a single strand of webbing from a spider versus a thick, established spider web, or a single drop of blue food colouring in a bathtub of water.

Comorbibbity babbity boo.

You’re the one who took what you heard as fact (you made a statement that said something happened that didn’t with no indication that it was fiction or urban legend) without checking but okay, stranger on the internet. A dumbass forum comment like yours doesn’t merit a literary analysis, get over yourself.

The lack of self-awareness is hilarious, so thanks for the chuckle. Some serious malding loser energy to take an offhand joke so damn personally.

I think you heard a fat joke and confused it with a fact.

Both spellings are correct as far as I’m aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d’unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.

If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.

Hopefully the Canadian ban is successfully challenged. It pretty clearly violates kids’ Charter rights and is a total privacy infringement on adults, too.

Metric ton (1000 kg), not imperial/long ton (2240 lbs) or US/short ton (2000 lbs).

I think they’re calling it an organ for the supposed benefit of the reader (and for the shock value of the term “synthetic organ”) because it responds to certain gut conditions in a way that would suggest a more complex functionality than a layperson would attribute to bacteria. It’s not actually an organ.

Yeah, my education is in electrical engineering and industrial automation. I’ve grown up using computers and like to learn, but I’ve never had any formal education on the subject except for high school programming classes, an intro CS course using Scheme, and a Python 3 bootcamp on Udemy. Everything else that I know is just from hands-on experience and using a search engine.

For hosting services and managing my domain, only a basic understanding is necessary, so I don’t feel held back by it. I do wish that I could contribute to my favourite projects, though.

I know, dude. It’s an inside joke with a friend, if you care.

Either way, like under $2000 would have bought them the storage necessary to keep these backups on-site. They still would’ve needed another backup solution for redundancy purposes, but this wouldn’t be the huge issue it seems to be now, where the data is sort of in limbo.

I’m not completely wrong, it’s a joke! Isn’t it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect? Upvotes, please!

No, but if you separately pay me $15/month, I’ll post in a different community every day about how you’re paying them €10/month.

Tatarstan is on the opposite side of Russia, by the way. Where many ethnic minorities live, such as those that the name implies, the Tatars.

Interesting target on part of the Ukrainian miitary since it’s generally just civilians in the area.
