Would it be possible to run two OSs simultaneously by hibernating one of the OSs?

If I sign up on a hot air balloon ride and there is bad weather can I get my money back?
Each of the companies that we have talked to for Hot air balloon rides have said you pay for it in advance, then if there is bad weather, you don’t get your money back. You just have to reschedule for another day. We have a friend who had to make many many many trips an hour and a half each way and each time on the way there,...

Creating a torrent that includes all of humanity's knowledge/art/entertainment?
I know we can’t do this with any copyrighted materials. But a lot of books, music, art, knowledge is in the creative commons. Is it possible to create one massive torrent that includes all that can be legally included and then have people only download what they actually want to enjoy?
Are there any notable content creators that focus on content other than niche tech and US political on Mastodon?

When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it's communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg?
I saw this comment on c/whitepeopletwitter, and it made me wonder if Reddit was like Lemmy in its early days as well? A lot of the communities here are more or less just Reddit but with (sometimes) different rules and mod teams. Most of the memes here are just yoinked off of Reddit (which to be fair, really is just how the...
When does "what you know" become realer than "what you see"?
How does an automatic road barrier decide when a vehicle is coming?
So just something that’s been on my mind. At my workplace there’s an automatic road barrier that lifts up and down when vehicles arrive. However, it’s not used for a carpark system when people wave their tickets or something. It just goes up and down when a vehicle shows up....
[US] Looking for some ideas for freelance work / "side hustle" (fedia.io)
Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money.

Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better?
So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes....
How can I be less competitive about social media engagement?
Posting from a throwaway because this is something that embarasses me a lot. I’m an artist who posts fanart on social media but as much as I remind myself that fanart is just for fun, I should just enjoy myself and not worry about engagement, I can’t get myself out of the competitive headspace against other artists who...
