Ah yes if we just keep using a new synonym every time, that means we have to start all legal arguments from scratch.

Im not so sure. I bet more than half of the drivers out there produce PCL output, and there are a lot of printers that use other languages too like ZPL and a myriad of others.

You know you can break those units into smaller units right?
Also most thermometers are only accurate to about +/- 2 degrees F anyway.

To be clear they were not talking about the porn.
But, as porn movies go it was very well-made, maybe worth a watch but not for the CGI.
- Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia. 3 weeks ago:
- If that’s so, then that’s not what you said. You said “plants keep evolving into trees”. While it’s true that we give the name “trees” to a variety of plants with different genetics, all of them share a common ancestor: otherwise they wouldn’t be plants but something else.
- Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia. 3 weeks ago:
There’s a single origin for everything. It doesn’t matter how many times the descendants of that common ancestor have diverged and reconverged.

Hmm, Pirates was directed by Joone.
I’m guessing they meant to write Pirates of the Caribbean

Nah, that was the fascists prior to trump.

The problem is not lack of training. This isn’t a “whoopsie-poopsie”. They’re doing it on purpose and if someone looks brown enough they get kidnapped. With luck they get released later.

Thanks, good to know. I split between DDG and Kagi, not entirely happy with either.
I miss the old google.

Not using Kagi anymore? What have you moved on to?

Then you already know your answer to “are there any female dog companions in cartoons?”
- Comment on Hard choices. Who would you choose? 5 weeks ago:
You mentioned Blue’s Clues but you ignored the main character? Or do you not consider Blue as a “dog companion”?
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 5 weeks ago:
Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.
Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)
High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).
One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 5 weeks ago:
It is a spectrum (MIT vs GPL vs APL for example) but this is outside that spectrum.

Don’t have to worry about that, win11 isn’t reliable enough for that.
We had a similar situation for a voicemail system though.

Better to link to the main page rather than the download page that immediately tries to download the app.

Sadly I doubt my employer would take kindly to me using this tool.

Absolutely.
Just need a way to admin Active Directory from Linux and I’m set…

- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 month ago:
I’m much more interested in the conclusions and the meaning of the numbers, for two big reasons:
- It doesn’t matter much if the reduction is 90%, if the remaining 10% is still enough to be a problem. It sounds like a lot, but I have some doubts that it actually makes much difference.
- I care a lot more about locations outside the toilet than the specific locations in and on the toilet. The toilet is assumed to be contaminated regardless, the question is whether or how much it is contaminating the rest of the room.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 month ago:
The floor and the walls of the restroom were contaminated after toilet flushing, but no significant differences were observed between the contamination occurring with lid position up or down. Wall contamination was minimal, regardless of lid position, and there was no significant difference in contamination level between the surfaces assessed, but data indicated that the trajectory of the aerosol plume contamination may have changed (Table 2). Floor contamination was not found to be reduced consistently by toilet lid closure prior to flushing. […] it appears that closure of the toilet lid is not effective in reducing the contamination of the toilet seat area or contamination of other areas (fomites, floors, walls) within the restroom.

opening a cupboard in the kitchen to get something then just leaving the cupboard open isn’t it?
I feel personally attacked.

The toilet, since the seat doesn’t block animal access.
I’d be worried about drips from the dog though.
