Do you know what Apple Computer's catch-all "miscellaneous hardware error" type was, which turned most application crashes into full system crashes for the first three years of the PowerPC Mac era? (www.cnet.com)

A unified combatant command, also referred to as a combatant command (CCMD), is a joint military command of the United States Department of Defense that is composed of units from two or more service branches of the United States Armed Forces, and conducts broad and continuing missions.[1] There are currently 11 unified combatant commands, and each is established as the highest echelon of military commands, in order to provide effective command and control of all U.S. military forces, regardless of branch of service, during peace or during war time.[2] CCMDs are organized either on a geographical basis (known as an "area of responsibility", AOR) or on a functional basis, e.g., special operations, force projection, transport, and cybersecurity. Currently, seven CCMDs are geographical, and four are functional. CCMDs have specific badges denoting their affiliation.

Do you know how many years old Minazo, the southern elephant seal famous from the "lolrus" meme, was when he died in 2005? (thelemmy.club)

The so-called lolrus meme features a southern elephant seal named Minazo. He was born in Uruguay, but spent most of his life in Japan where, measuring 4.5 meters long and weighing around two tons, he was said to be the largest seal in the country. Minazo died in October 2005 at the age of 11, and made his meme debut posthumously in June 2006 on YTMND. To this day Wikipedia considers him "one of the most famous southern elephant seals". Merzbow released a two-volume album (1, 2) in his memory.

RIP Minazo
