Crunchwrap Supreme: There’s only one supreme crunchwrap! Impales challenger crunchwrap with longsword

What in the whirl…

The comment by ksymph sums up my thoughts exactly:

The principles behind this effort are admirable, but I’m concerned about the practical implementation. Who is funding this? How will one person per domain be verified? Is self-hosting actually required, or can one use an external host; in the case of the former, how would it be verified, and in the case of the latter, what exactly does this tld accomplish that isn’t accomplished by free tlds, tlds like .me, or services like duckdns? Open source software clients as described are a major undertaking; why keep them under the umbrella of this tld?

I respect the goals here, and I want this to succeed, but this is a massive project, and without a clear plan I’m afraid this will peter out even if the tld is granted.

The headline is a lie. Not only did they not cut into the roof of the reactor, but the reactor was also offline when they replaced the steam generators

Bruce Power cut into the roof of an operating nuclear station, hauled eight steam generators weighing 100 metric tons each (about 110 US tons) out through the top, and lowered brand-new ones into the same hole. Then it brought the reactor back online on June 8

Is it a noose made of hemp

Sounds expensive. Most nans weight a lot of pounds.

It makes the air cold. What’s there to understand?

With that logic, leaving your refrigerator door open should cool the room. But doing so would actually heat it up.

It actually does require some basic knowledge of thermodynamics. Many people think “there are space heaters, so why not space coolers?” The reality is that the heat needs to be pumped out of the room (meaning hot air needs to be vented to the outside of the building).

Fun fact: These states require tippable workers to be paid the full minimum wage:

• Alaska
• California
• Guam
• Minnesota
• Nevada
• Oregon

“In leadership roles, narcissists have a clear preference for face-to-face interaction, where richer channels allow them to not only gain attention but also wield power and status,” the authors write. Remote settings curtail leaders’ usual means of “directing and inspiring employees” like using hand gestures, fluctuating the volume of their voice, making eye contact, and adjusting their posture. “When communicating by video, phone, email, or text, it is more difficult for leaders to command the attention—and gauge and bask in the admiration—of their employees,” the authors write.

I don’t understand the aversion to datacenters. Just make sure that they use green energy and recycle their cooling water.

Hell yeah California. Suck it, Peacock.

You don’t like the AI response at the top? It’s free and I find it super helpful. But you are welcome to ignore it.

You can still Google it for free. You only have to pay for AI if you use AI.

Ah yes, George W Bush’s fan base: Karl Rove.

Let’s not forget about the crusades and the conquistadores.

Clearly Idi Amin read Animal Farm.

Exactly. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
