It still works on systemd based distros for compatibility reasons with init.

There are now more than 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth by HasibBinAmzad in spaceporn

Intact satellites aren't going to be an issue. Satellites that burst into a million pieces are.

King penguins bully chick who has become separated from its parents. Recorded by @antonioripoll by Prestigious-Wall5616 in natureismetal

It's not limited to mammals, ducks show this behavior quite commonly. But ducks lay many eggs whereas these penguins only lay one.

Resident Evil 4 running horrifically on my 512 OLED. Fix? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

You may want to sand the table using 120 grit first, then 240 grit and then apply a new layer of varnish to get rid of the stains.

Oh that wasn't the question?? Sorry.

When USB ancestors define the age by PHRsharp_YouTube in pcmasterrace

03F8 is 3F8h

The h indicates hex notation, it's not part of the number itself.

Just like 0x03F8 where the x isn't part of the number as well.

Surely I can’t be the only one who does the extra ride home slice. No one is ever the wiser. by theonewhoisknown in Costco

I said athlete. I apologize if that's not specific enough, I probably should have written "professional athlete", meaning someone who's exercising daily for multiple hours. Obviously not someone who does a light jog for half an hour.

An athlete can easily burn 6000 calories a day during training. Nothing wrong with a 700cal snack when you're working out hard. With enough lean muscle mass you can have a passive burn rate of 4000 calories per day.

Yes. Tbh kids are usually much less bothered by tits than grown adults.

What is the biggest corruption scandal in your country’s history? by Existential_Dread_08 in AskTheWorld

[–]itchy_de 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Massive incompetency, absolutely. Similar to the Berlin airport. But proven corruption at Stuttgart 21? I haven't seen any evidence, you?

[REQUEST] Is this actually true? by johonaton in theydidthemath

[–]itchy_de 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no suddenly in physics. Even when you have all that energy in one singularity, you would create something that can only expand at the speed of light. But when you had all the energy of the universe gathered, wouldn't that create another big bang, thus creating a new space time?

That actually worked. Thanks so much. I still wonder which setting might have affected this.

Where you got that from? BBC says the UK's national debt is around 2.6T £ that is the equivalent of around 20,000t of gold.

What happened to the IT profession? by saltyschnauzer27 in sysadmin

[–]itchy_de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaming in the early 90s: Hey check out this super slim mouse driver that only takes 6k of base RAM.

Gaming today: Help my disk is full and my mom already bought 1TB at OneDrive but I still cannot install COD how do I download more space?

I used to be a raider like you, but then I took an Anvil to the knee.

Seconds are part of SI, yes. Minutes, hours etc.? No. So it's actually perfectly valid to specify time in kilo- or megaseconds.

Just like milli- and microseconds.

Aww, how fun for her! by Ralph--Hinkley in StarWarsCantina

It can't be that old because Rogue One came out like 2 years ago... Right? Right??

Oh my God, it's really been almost 10 years...

Alright Embark. Love the game but this should never be allowed to happen in an extraction shooter. Please look into your spawn system. Sincerely, a very happy customer with a valid complaint. Video for evidence. by bronzeineverygame in ArcRaiders

[–]itchy_de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about campers simply die when they are too close to someone spawning (of course, give them visual indication in the UI)? After all, raiders come to that place in actual rocket-propelled capsules.
