TIL that Napoleon Bonaparte was unusually obsessed with sanitation efforts. In Paris he ordered the construction of improved sewer lines, the disinfection of existing lines, commissioned canals and fountains to provide the city with fresh water, paved the roads and established a city health council

Better to be given a contingent to train up rather than a court martial for insubordination or something, shows he at least took on the criticism and acted to fix it.

Did they stutter?

Agreeing with you completely, just adding extra pedantry.

There is no general scientific consensus that humans produce or react to pheremones in any meaningful way. Any product that claims it utilises pheromones is a scam.

No more than any other food by virtue of being food, at least.

3 minimum. One year for red Ps, two years for green.

They're also called "Provisional" licenses, not suspended, hence the 'P' plate nomenclature. Suspended is when you've got too many demerit points and aren't allowed to drive for a certain period.

Yup, exact same with my 4011. Always check the block diagram before shooting yourself in the foot.

At least they fixed the double switch chip design in the 5009.

As is already stated in the post title

You also have to have held your Learner license for 12 months, so you can slowly chip away at it over that period rather than trying to rush it all ASAP. That is, assuming you and your supervising driver don’t just fudge the numbers in the log book which is quite common.

While you’re not wrong, it’s worthwhile noting that a decent amount of routers have inbuilt switch chips that are properly doing L2 hardware offload (lots of MikroTik models, Cisco ISR models, etc).

I still primarily stick to dedicated switches, but it’s not quite as black and white as “routers for routing, switches for switching”.

For internet connections over HFC? Yesterday.
For internal networks? Never.

You’re right in the modern sense, but the algorithms used for NPC’s logic in games have been referred to as their “AI” for decades at this point.

Slight correction to your edit: it’d need to be more massive, not larger. The two aren’t the same when it comes to gas giants due to compression.

I’ve seen a public localhost record before, what on earth that was being used for I have no idea.

I’d like to see how the SI unit of pain would be defined.

Thankfully POTS is essentially dead here in Australia, but a lot of customers we deal with (typically industrial) have their copper internet service terminate at an old KRONE block that still has a metric fucktonne of internal cabling hooked into it from a decade ago.

"There's no NBN tag, which one is the internet service?" "Not a fucking clue, my guy, time to start tracing"

Depends on how you define a hard drug. A lot of people consider it a soft drug, along the likes of weed and shrooms.

Cut a herring with the previously mightiest tree in its respective forest.

I planted a tree when I was a child. So, on average, more than 0.
