When mainstream media starts asking if something is a bubble, it’s not only already been one for quite a while already, but it’s about to pop.

The 15-pin D-sub connector itself was apparently a combination of analog and digital. It had to be, since MIDI is digital (it’s right there in the name: Musical Instrument Digital Interface). TIL it wasn’t all digital.
My 286 had PS/2 ports instead of the obsolete DIN keyboard/serial mouse.

I expected the number on the map to be for the entire Naples area, including Pompeii and Capri. Is it not?


I’m not sure I’d call Rome “by the water.” Ostia is like 15 miles away and a whole separate town.


Venice, Rome, and Naples don’t surprise me (well, Naples surprises me a little that it’s that low). But why is South Tyrol so popular?
WDYM, “still?” That implies they’re trying to make it something else, but they’re not.
Every electronic device is 100% efficient after the electricity has already been generated and delivered, sure, but a bunch of efficiency losses occurred before that. If you’re comparing methane burned on-site in a furnace to methane burned at a power plant, transmitted to the site as electricity, and then used for electric resistance heating, burning on-site is gonna be better even if the furnace loses more heat up the chimney than the power plant does.
Also, a heat pump is “300%-500% efficient” in the sense that it moves 3x-5x as much heat as it uses. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance
I just want to know what vehicle model that center door glass and sill edge is from.
You know what? Good point.
Nah, correctly sloping the roof would require the doors to be different, and a skilled custom car builder could definitely do that. The part that stretches credibility is the notion that some guy who wrecked his two Priuses and welded them back together for the lolz would be that skilled.
Even in winter, it’s terrible compared to a heat pump or (probably) directly burning gas or wood.
Too well done for me to believe it’s real.


No, I think the ones persecuting women for murder for seeking an abortion would be a different agency. ICE will be the ones using this data as a way to target pregnant brown women for deportation.
The US has a wide variety of jackbooted thugs these days; ICE is just the largest.
I’m having a hard time imagining this Goldilocks embedded device that is simultaneously big enough to run Linux (so not an actual microcontroller), yet too small for a few megabytes worth of statically-linked libraries. Got an example?
Oh, so it’s inconvenient for GPL-circumventers, too? That just sounds better and better.

Bless his heart, he still thinks this is an accident.

Is ‘agora’ just a metaphor for expressing preferences via commenting, or is it Fediverse polling software I don’t know about?
Are you saying that because of the sliding function or are you saying it about miter saws in general? My non-sliding miter saw doesn’t scare me as much as even a handheld circular saw, let alone my table saw.
