  They can’t be a 10, only framework gets a 10. Nothing compares.

  My memory was fuzzy, but I think it wasn’t UEFI but apps/drivers, but j could be wrong

  I had a Sony CD walkman, a later model with read ahead buffer. It did OK for normal walking.

  You take it with you like the good old days

  It said milk protein, they were specifically talking about dairy milk, and not soy protien

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would hope so, but no dairy alternative has seemed to replicate milk protein properly. But I’m sure there will be q day to replicate it almost exactly as it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While neat, it still seems like poor stewardship. Rather than some easy cultivated fiber product you have to raise dairy cows and extract milk for a disposable plate. Seems like poor life cycle cost tally

  That’s my wife.

  Yes thus my first statement that their comparison was off. I wasn’t sure if they are trying to trick the reader, or just bad conversion

  Its how facists silence opposition

  Trump said that too, but nothing happened

  I know, not my speculation, it was we conspiracy theory

  Apparently just days before the shooting he told parties involved he would no longer tow the Israel line

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I was like 40 at my kids baseball game and she was under 20. Just a good parlor trick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Some people are just assholes and don’t care what they say or do. Online anonymity let’s people who are too afraid of consequences (in real life) be assholes too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.

  So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.

  Might take more than centuries, but yes.

  We have a rescue dog from Korea as well as some neighbours ( not a standard breed, but a Korean Village dog, they basically live alongside humans as a breed but developed their own way). They are much different than “normal” dogs. They are more like cats. Their way on their terms. Like other dogs, don’t enjoy humans much. So even though they are domesticated, they still show the old lineage of being independent. My dogs idea of a good time is never chasing a stick or ball, but finding the highest vantage point at a park and watching everyone. A carryover from watching the plains from the hillside, or something.

  I don’t think bad marks were justified. This is how I see every interaction go with polyglot colleagues, its like a modem handshake and they settle into the most comfortable common language

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESL homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.

  We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.

  My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow

  Could be they were both shit lol

  A good interview with Bob Carver if you like audio history podcast.asknoahshow.com/25

  I’m a person with sensitive hearing and mp3 always sounds muddy to me compared with a flac or wav rip. My coworker poo-pooed this notion, but I proved it to him. Mp3 does alter the sounds, most people won’t notice, but for somebody that does hear the differences its annoying. I would not spend 10k or anything. I paid $15 for an old 5.1 system, and max $80 for a pi2 with a DAC hat. LOL

  For me its like if you stood outside a persons house and heard them talking vs their words coming over their TV. There is a noticable signature that let’s you hear its the TV or real people, and that’s what mp3 vs wav is like for me.

  I can also hear my neighbours ceiling fan running in the connected town home. That almost inaudible drone of the motor running, drives me nuts

  Exactly, silver is a better conductor I believe, but tarnishes like copper does

  Ah, cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An open source repairable printer.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the original query was are these illegal to sell in USA due to not having FBI traceability?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An open source repairable printer.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a question. And wasn’t pen plotters since they can’t reproduce money, and are more rare for consumers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An open source repairable printer.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My non laser colour had it. Left yellow dots on photos, drovee crazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An open source repairable printer.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Illegal due to US govt wanting discrete traceable patterns printed so they can track money duplication on colour printer or track Ransom letters?

  I was thinking weigh scale, but yes
