  • Enough ghost stories! They should open the sarcophagus immediately if there is any chance that it could save Grendel.

  • I'm sure the construction of towers is different from chimney stacks, but Fred Dibnah did it with a bunch of firewood and some shovels.

  • TempleOS was written mostly in HolyC, not assembly.

  • I don't think I've seen Everett look so defeated.

  • Hey, not everyone was born to be a king.

  • I wouldn't think so. Isn't bottles just an easier way to manage wine prefixes? If so, it doesn't do anything to hide your Linux system from the executable.

    Wine prefixes are not sandboxes. They are a way to separate the windows-level configuration for different programs (eg env vars, or drivers, etc).

    Wine is a translation layer between a compiled windows binary and your Linux syscalls/libraries/device drivers/etc, nothing more.

  • A) No

    B) Even if it were true, they would be 25,000 lives that American domestic policy would end anyway due to lack of social programs

  • Wine is not an emulator. It's not sandboxed either. If you can do it as a user, a program running in wine can do it too.

    There's nothing stopping a piece of malware from crawling your disk for sensitive information, or encrypting your files for ransom.

  • You inspired me to test on 6m. Not a good match at all (SWR 40+). Gonna explore more, but from what I read about moxons on Wikipedia, they don't lend themselves well to multi-band operations. I guess the measurements can be very band-specific.

  • Honestly, my plan is to use it as a minor propaganda tool: Call up a local ham friend for a "radio check", and "just happen" to mention that there's a protest going on and nobody is being aggressive, etc. I hear way too many maga guys on the airwaves, I want to do what I can to counter it.

    Plus, if the cops do get violent, there's no downside to having a communication tool that doesn't rely on big tech or cell phones. One more way to get the word out.

    Of course, something like this could be adapted for tools like meshtastic, or used with digital modes in order to coordinate a group.

  • I think it's called Shobie Story. It's part of Fisherman on an Inland Sea.

  • I enjoyed reading Ursula Le Guin's stories about instantaneous travel.

    The process of instantaneous travel is so bizarre and unexplainable that every crew member experiences it differently. Some people think they haven't gone anywhere, some people think they're on the other side of the universe, and some people think the ship has disintegrated around them.

    The only way for the process to succeed is for the entire crew to agree on a shared reality. It has the effect of making FTL travel a dangerous thing that requires training and planning. You can't hop on a ship with random people and expect to survive. Everyone has to train together to really trust each other's perception and experiences.

  • I checked a couple of reviews, and one of them mentioned they measured the temp at 212°F. Definitely sounds like something funky could be going on with yours.

  • Is it under warranty? I'd send it back and/or ask for a refund. If there is any spec that mentions what temperature the kettle is supposed to reach, I'd point to that when asking for the refund/replacement.

  • Gary should learn about Lazy

    <T>

    and stop reinventing the wheel.

    I put blame on any of his senior coworkers who didn't use this as a teaching opportunity during PR.

  • All cops are bony
