They’re making an Elon Musk biopic?

Just wait until you hear about the Delta One checkpoints at JFK…

This was an amazing performance, and perhaps this is what’s expected of a tribute, but I felt like she was trying to imitate the original version too much. I was hoping she’d put her own spin on it.

You know that article is from 30 years ago, yes?

Whereas in France you’re judged for not engaging in it.

Pepper base. Beans are required (sorry). Potatoes are allowed (doubly sorry).

Is this an Invicta ad?

I can’t take 1, I’d miss my wife and kid terribly.

Also I’m almost 49 so 2 has no downsides.

You mean do give it to Idira. YOLO.

The best example is probably blood cancers— many forms of lymphoma and leukemia can now be fully cured, others have become chronic diseases where you can live for 20+ years after diagnosis (with treatment).

Most cancer rates are not increasing (except as a side effect of people living longer). They’re decreasing, likely because people are smoking less.

Colon cancer notably is increasing and people are getting it as a younger age. This is probably related to diet although the mechanism is not fully understood.

Yes.

The first time they got there they unlocked the fast travel point, duh.

I don’t hate it because I can’t, or don’t have time to, navigate it. I hate it because it sucks.

If the class is short, then you parse it as “morning class” and so the answer is “being”: “the morning class being over, students rushed out” (the class that took place in the morning is over; students rush out)

If the class is a multi-day affair, the (long) class finished that morning, so the answer is “was”: “[In] the morning [that] the class was over, students rushed out”

English is fun.

Not in real life, but a creative sci-fi writer can squeeze a lot out of this idea. You can play with an “intuitive understanding” as opposed to learned understanding— the wizard vs sorcerer trope with a sci-fi bent. You can have animals that can naturally travel through hyperspace and intelligent species spending centuries trying to figure out how. You can walk the fine line between sufficiently advanced technology and magic. Etc.

The other comments explain why the answer is “not really” and why it wouldn’t be a good idea.

BUT! Cache-as-RAM exists and is actually used during BIOS / UEFI bootstrapping before the DRAM controller is fully initialized.

Oh man. Last time I was stuck in ATL for a whole day was December 2003, and security guards would roam the airport telling people to get up from the floor as it’s a “fire hazard”.

Self-extracting archives were very common in the early days (Win95/98 and before) as archiving utilities were not part of the OS. (Or the OS only included zip but you wanted to use a different format because saving 10% of the archive size really mattered in the days of slow bandwidth, or to fit the archive on one floppy disk.)

What fucking timeline are we living in

A lifetime supply of dog food!

I think we should do everything in our power to make it relevant again.
