I have a couple of American boomers friends and they sent a few messages apologizing and saying they didn’t vote for Trump and they don’t agree with his policies etc.

I donated three times. The first was through a campaign at my workplace. Absolutely nothing worth noting happened. The second was through a campaign at my university. I fainted and my blood pressure went way down. The third time, a friend needed transfusion, so, the hospital asks for friends and family to replenish it. Since I fainted the second time, they took less blood. I was still a little dizzy but ok.

Can we build a spaceship to go there and unscrew that massive lug nut?

You could talk with Brazilians about Santos Dumont…

I told this story before. I was migrating an old system to a new one and we discovered that we were still sending faxes to some companies. Our system would create a PDF and send to a server that was connected to a phone line. So we called those companies to ask if we could find another way to send the documents. We learned that they too had a server with a software that would receive the fax and transform it in a PDF.

Wait! The same problem Larry Niven’s Ringworld have also applies to Dyson Spheres? Huh! Saving to read later.

The only thing that amazed me about this is that he had a “talent agent”.

This is too much 1984…

It became his Moby Dick.

Nice, but that took a really long time.

It started after the last update on Xbox series X. Sometimes the loading screen freezes and I need to force quit the game. When I come back and try the Continue button, it breaks. I need to load an old save to actually load the game.

 

Why am I seeing a post about Microsoft from 9 days ago pinned as an announcement at the top of /all ?

I'm not talking about the temples, but the traits that appear on a planet that might have a temple. They're just broken structures that we can scan and a source of caelumite. But, lore-wise, what are they? And why are they all destroyed?
