The Yellowstone volcano is about 8 times larger than the entirety of park that has Mt St Helens in it (~860,000 acres of volcano vs ~110,000 acres of park).

Sorry, I’m sure there are other features that you like for this, but just the ones in this thread; long life, always on display, shows the time, sits on a desk, no notifications. That’s a clock. Like, a clock clock. Put a clock on your desk.

- Comment on The Helldivers 2 bot faction has been eradicated. What do now? 5 weeks ago:
Go back to fighting bugs with rovers instead of bots with shield packs. I heckin love fighting bugs with the rover.

I used the wrong word and you had no idea what I was talking about, you got me. Debating a word over Greek vs Latin origin on what suffix to use in the English language, which is always consistent and true to its root words, is worthy of such pedantry. I concede.

Mountain lions have like 30 different names and no one gets into entomology fights about them. If there is no scientific standard name like birds have use whatever makes the most sense to you.

Right, when there is this much controversy over a plural there will never be a consensus, especially when it doesn’t actually matter. The truth is that as long as people understand what you mean it doesn’t matter what you use.

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 3 months ago:
I didn’t see anyone mention this, but while this headset depicts the outside world when you are wearing it, you are viewing a camera feed of that world. True AR would be like google glass where it is a piece of glass with data projected onto it. Apples thing recreates the world around you and then adds in the applications, you are viewing the world through a filter.
It could also just be marketing too because it seems like they are trying really hard to not make this look like some nerd shit.

In the comic, he looks to be about 20ft away, maybe. The last two panels are feet apart (same bush, same bank) lol.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 4 months ago:
Currently video is being transmitted compressed with up to 50ms of lag, from what I can find. Wifi 7 should be able to fix both those issues.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 4 months ago:
The biggest benefit to wifi 7 that I’m excited about is streaming wireless VR headsets without extra equipment to a PC.

Anyone remember when GameStop was selling refurbished GameCubes for $30? I think I bought 2.
- Comment on Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start? 4 months ago:
I don’t even need to do that. Buy bitcoin until it hits $1200, sell, buy again once it drops to like $300ish, sell when it hits $50k. Ez billions. I could have mined it in high school when it was like 10c each. Buying it would have been harder then, people were literally trading USB drives on Craigslist lol.

My biggest problem with this is that he didn’t have any Taco Bell.
- Comment on Why we should be putting solar panels on our fields and lakes | DW 4 months ago:
Just put them on roofs. The article talks about saving the environment and then building over it. Let’s just build on top of current infrastructure. But I guess it’s harder to profit off of a more decentralized strategy so we’ll probably just keep destroying the environment.
- Comment on VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough 4 months ago:
Holy shit, I could not imagine someone who cooks a lot to put up with that. If you have a few things you need to start and stop at specific times and change heat levels and stuff while cooking several things at once… it takes me .5 seconds to operate my dials when doing this. I would be livid using your stove.

The last few console generations have been around 6-7 years, and this gen may be longer:

How the hell did he get caught? “Security expert” , right?
I went to a conference that CISA talked at. They are actively scanning the Internet for threats to infrastructure and institutions and work closely with the FBI to track people down. They contact a lot of people about cyber attacks. Like a LOT.

Esports is considered an activity rather than a sport according to my states school system. What is the difference between a sport and an activity? I couldn’t find their definitions lol.
- Comment on Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It 6 months ago:
They did do something though, dropped a lot of content and added in shitty reality shows. I didn’t renew a few months ago when the price went up and the quality of content went down.

There were trees in elemental that had feelings but it wasn’t the focus, so I guess there’s a chance.

No, they were just told they couldn’t participate in society.
Yes, when you pose a greater risk to society you do not get to participate in it. This has been true since the start of societies.
- Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan 6 months ago:
Ya, mine is slow rolling 2gig but it kind of fucked me up because now I want 6E mesh APs and it’s going to cost me like $500. I know I don’t need it, but the fact that I could have it is tempting. Plus I need 6E for the VR headset I also don’t have.

2 vs 4 year degree. I do recommend going to community college first though and transferring if pursuing a degree.
