Don’t compare it to water. Nestle will want a cut.

teft , 22 days ago to news in Multiple Trump Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaign

Damning? But Steven Cheung said:

“the 2024 Trump campaign is the most well-run and professional operation in political history. Any false assertion that we’re engaging in any type of behavior that may be regarded as tampering is absurd and completely fake.”

So why would anyone investigate? /s

Faster than inflation

teft , 22 days ago to til in Today I learned you can run doom from motherboard BIOS.

Before Windows, many games were playable by booting directly into them.

That’s not true. You’d boot up which loads the bios, which initializes your hardware, and then a Disk operating system like MS-DOS is loaded. From there you’d load your programs from a command prompt.

I don’t understand the charge of failure to obey a general order in this context. General orders are orders for guarding posts. For the army there are three and the navy there are 11. It’s stuff like don’t quit your post without proper relief, don’t talk outside of duty based things, salute officers….things like that. None of them are about espionage as far as I’m aware.

teft , 26 days ago to startrek in "Life, Itself" — Star Trek: Discovery Episode Discussion

That was a great episode/finale. Kovich being Daniels made me gasp and clap. That was great. I’m sad the series is over because I really liked Rayner this season as a foible to all the cheerfulness on Disco. The only thing I would want in a new season would have been more Rayner and more Grudge.

If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

How so? Plastic would retain its current properties, just something may break it down over time. Wood is still useful after all.

It’s called an example. I was demonstrating escalation of force. You should maybe rethink how you talk to people. Being so rude and confrontational isn’t going to bring people to your side of the argument.
