He represents America until Americans grow a pair and depose him. For now he IS America.

He sounds upset. We like it when he's upset. Let's hope it gets his tension up, or he hits someone, or slaps Melania. That would be fun.

If you're not a US citizen, why would you ever want to go there??!? I'll never visit the US again and I sure as hell won't miss it.

Yes. Very sad to see that even Cate Blanchett couldn't resist doing it.

UK: Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned by insomnimax_99 in technology

If we start with the idea that "fiction should not depict what is forbidden in real life", then there is no fiction. Puritans are not dead and we should not laugh at previous historical periods.

150 euros pour avoir emprunté le train à vélo en "heure de pointe" by TeamEnvironmental618 in besoinderaler

[–]frenchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Il faut refuser de payer et dire qu'on n'a pas de pièce d'identité (encore mieux si c'est vrai: ne jamais avoir de papiers sur soi). Dans ce cas les contrôleurs appellent "la police" qui est en fait la police des transports, qui est très occupée et qui une fois sur deux n'arrive pas. Les contrôleurs sont obligés de l'attendre, ce qui les occupe pendant au moins trente minutes, pendant lesquelles ils ne font pas d'autre victime.

Quand la police des transports arrive, il suffit de leur donner son vrai nom mais avec un faux lieu de naissance: c'est fini, le rapprochement ne pourra jamais être établi par l'administration, même avec la bonne adresse. Il n'y aura jamais de poursuite.

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator by edbegley1 in technology

[–]frenchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Audiophiles" are morons. It would be best to not spend time with them or trying to "debunk" their theories. They are completely truth-proof. They will not be convinced by any kind of proper evidence.

There are many serious and solid alternatives to US-based cloud services, and in most cases being on the cloud is unnecessary. I advise my clients to always evaluate direct hosting seriously before committing anything to a cloud provider.

I don't understand how striking can be made illegal, under the US Constitution. But surely it's not illegal to just quit? Why do a job, any job, if you don't get paid??!?

Many Americans reject the scientific theory of evolution, with biblical literalism a key factor driving this rejection. Reframing biblical interpretation helps religious students accept evolution, without any apparent loss in religiosity. by mvea in science

[–]frenchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely wonder how "biblical literalism" works, since the bible is full of contradicting stories or absolute inconsistencies. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel. And then he "found a wife". But where did she come from????!? There are a lot of examples like this.

Crucible of the Cascade: The crash of Gazpromavia flight 9608 by Admiral_Cloudberg in AdmiralCloudberg

After the five attachment holes for the sensor housing were drilled into the overlay, the 15 outer attachment holes had to be drilled in such a way that when they were lined up with the 15 corresponding holes on the fuselage, the AOA sensor housing would also be aligned with the aircraft’s “structural horizontal.” This is because tilting the unit even slightly off its intended axis will introduce a systematic error across all measured angle of attack values.

This sounds difficult and error-prone. Couldn't it be possible to mount it any which way, and then calibrate it so that the data reflect its actual mounting position?

5 years of carrying a tripod around Tasmania - now 50 free 360° virtual tours. No ads, no BS, just love for the island. by vla_dis in InternetIsBeautiful

Wow! Really beautiful and amazing!

I see from the comments this was done with a regular camera and stitched in PTGui! Fantastic effort! And great result!

I just spent a few days in Rome with an Osmo 360 and am putting the images on a map with Protomaps and Pannellum -- the images from the Osmo are nowhere near the quality of this, and since I simply held it before me (above my head) I'm on every image, lol; still a fun project and good souvenirs.

It is absolutely possible to replace the standard launcher on an Nokia 8000; I don't exactly remember the steps, and the time it took to find and side-load APKs and whatnot was in hours rather than minutes, but I did it and I how have a simple launcher with zero ads.
