Well, maybe you should put them in the second place. 😛

Protip: when you're looking for something and you find it, don't put it back where you found it. Put it in the first place you looked.

At least the AI gave them good trigger discipline

If the planes had entered sovereign airspace, sure. They synopsis says the Russians were flying in international airspace, which usually means it's not under the sovereign control of any nation and the Latvians would have had no basis to fire on the Russians.

Personally, I'd love to see the Russians try to stunt their way into someone's airspace and get dick slapped for it, but I doubt that would happen.

There's a massive amount of ongoing research into lithium-free batteries. Sodium-ion has gotten a big boost recently and real solid-state batteries are starting to see commercialization.

Social Security Numbers were never intended to be used the way they are. They were expressly for identifying you to the Feds for the purpose of SSI. Business just looked at that and said "hey, that's a good way to identify people" and ignored the feds when they asked politely for them to fucking not.

The internet is filled with Schrodinger's Asshole. How is anyone supposed to know if you meant it sarcastically originally or are just claiming it was sarcastic now that it hasn't landed?

The value of LD50 for a substance is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration

This is, effectively, how oral flee/tick medications work in animals. It basically turns the animal's blood into a mild poison. The poison is mild enough that it doesn't affect the animal but it's enough to kill small insects like flees, ticks, or mosquitoes.

Most of the rest of the civilized world effectively banned individual ownership of guns. Aren't you more worried about getting stabbed?

Canonical and Debian both target the professional server space. I've spent pretty much my entire career working on Debian-based distros.

Hell, the one company I worked for that I expected to use RHEL used Ubuntu for everything, so 🤷‍♂️.

Impeachment proceedings are not judicial proceedings; they're political ones. Both processes use similar language because the process is similar, but they are not connected. Commission of a crime is not required for impeachment proceedings and being impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate conveys no criminal punishment.

Just went ahead and Googled it and I can find no credible source that he actually said these words at any time. So, if you'd like to bandy out that source, I think we'd all appreciate it.
