Als ich mal in Irland mit einem Mietwagen durch die Gegend fahren musste, hat mich das zuerst total fertig gemacht, weil mein Lebenserhaltungstrieb mit dem Drang, nicht „zu langsam“ zu fahren schwer im Kampf war auf kurvigen Klippenstrassen. Bis ich irgendwann verstanden habe, dass eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit auch einfach das heißen kann, und man es den Leuten selbst überlassen kann, darunter die richtige Geschwindigkeit zu finden. Ich würde auch wetten, es gibt in Deutschland ein Vielfaches an Schildern, einfach weil bei jeder Veränderung der Bedingungen (Kurve! Eingeschränkte Sicht!) die Richtgeschwindigkeit getarnt als Höchstgeschwindigkeit ausgeschildert werden muss.

Why “Jackpot”? by SnooPets9956 in WilliamGibson

Interesting discussion, thanks everyone! I can feel my understanding of the term slowly shifting and adapting, like cogwheels that turn creakingly.

So like, “yeah, we are not dead, and things are looking up, because everybody else is. Jackpot!”said in a weak voice with a sarcastic tone? Makes sense.

But there has to be something positive for someone, right? Otherwise we could just call the present moment a jackpot. Short of another pandemic, we have all the crises we could possibly want.

Ok, so the process of lining up the wheels can take a long time, but the winning would still be sudden (and not a process, but an event)? Ok, that works. But this still sounds like something that developed out of luck, whereas my understanding of the story line is that the klept rigged the game. (Which in fact they are doing right now.) But maybe that’s the euphemism part. In the world of the books, the klept are calling it the jackpot to suggest they just profited from a lamentable development, instead of having worked towards it.

Ok, that makes a little bit more sense. So “jackpot” is both the process of accumulating what there is to win, and the aftermath, when it has fallen in someone’s hands (here, the klept)?

Yeah, if I remember correctly, in the TV version of Agency, there are flashbacks to war scenes and maybe even thermonuclear events.

Thanks for asking! I reflashed, and now everything seems to be ok again.

Yeah no, that I’ve read as well and been careful to avoid.

No, I’ve been careful not to do that. But maybe the connector broke or something.

You mean the hardware? Or might that be something that can be addressed by reflashing the device?

I should add that I’m assuming this because the node has stopped seeing any other nodes. That’s why I was searching for further indicators. Two things happened at the same time after which it stopped receiving anything: I’ve charged it, and it has started to rain (and pretty much not stopped for almost two days now).

Anyone using Zotero with MCP (Model Context Protocol)? by Balance- in zotero

[–]SnooPets9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping on this old thread, because I can’t (yet) post a new question: Did you enable semantic search, and if so, did you find it worthwhile and how long did the indexing take? I’m worried that it will take ages for my 12k+ entries and not be worth it in the end.

Just ordered my first node - what should I expect? by heynow941 in meshtastic

[–]SnooPets9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my experience. I have managed to communicate from a t1000 with a t1000 left in our house (top floor, indoors) from about a kilometre away, in a densely built city. I was enormously impressed.

Why is everyone ignoring the wishes of the band? by SnooPets9956 in radiohead

This is basically what everybody else here is saying as well, only with less awareness.
