@benjedwards The Lunduke podcast mentioned it as a negative, that basically if everyone is wearing this we'll never be looking at anyone's real eyes again.

@zaitcev I imagine one of those expiration dates is "when China is dumb enough to invade Taiwan, because the US will be shifting everything to the pacific when that happens."

The humble book bundle... Says "Use on Any Device" and "Read them anywhere." My linux desktop is both a "device" and a "where" but way down in a link on the fine print it says "Linux: Kobo Desktop is not compatible with Linux OS."

They really should correct those two statements.

Wow, talk about an anti-feature. Youtube's autoplay toggle switches when you scroll up and down the page, based on the last direction you scrolled on the scroll wheel... I'm sure they're just trying to get you to accidentally enable that garbage.

@cstrotm Dynect is the dns host that used to be known as Dyndns. Weird that Twitter is using them.

My internet provider (which just cut out for over a minute) sent me an email with the subject of "Our way of saying thanks". It was spam for their cell phone provider.

@i @deutrino @pro @Moon I have 2gb of swap on there, but it seems to kill it before it exhausts the swap. I've tuned the memory usage on postgres down a bit now though.

@Moon @i @deutrino @pro My puny 2gb instance has no chance then, haha.

@pro @i @deutrino @Moon Ever since I moved off OpenBSD over to Debian, I've been having problems with either beam or postgres getting hit by the OOM killer. I guess I need to do more tuning.

@LoganFive I don't know how Commodore users could tolerate some of the weirdness of their system... We didn't have to hit the play button on our tape drives over in the Atari space, the computer controlled everything on that, even stopping the tape once the program was loaded.

@benjedwards @sofiav If you didn't have an ISP, I remember that it had some stuff for finding dialup ISPs in some versions of windows?

@benjedwards I mean... You can still log off. Just unplug your router. Depending on your OS, many things will still work. :) Updates probably won't. Installing new software probably won't, but you could still pop open a text editor and program as long as you don't need stackoverflow.

@stuff @gabriel @Moon PT Cruiser was the best iteration of the Dodge Neon.

@TechConnectify @jeffeb3 I can do that in a traditional grocery store though, because my family has nailed down which product to buy first, which to buy second if that's out of stock, etc.

@TechConnectify There's only one variety of peanut butter among the 20 or so at the store that I enjoy that also has low sodium though. I suspect at Trader Joe's there would be 0. I don't know though, they aren't open anywhere near me.

The translation for Useless Ponko is finally done, cute manga.

@winter @requiem Eh, we'll see. I guess you'll never see more than one or two SLS launches per year because of how ridiculously expensive it is.

@winter @requiem SLS may have an advantage on fuel cleanness, but the costs of building a new one, such as the pollution released while mining the minerals required to build it, and smelting them probably exceeds the pollution released by a SH launch.

I believe though that part of it is that it's easier to produce methane from solar power and CO2 in the martian atmosphere than it would be to produce other fuels there.

@winter @requiem The merlin using Kerosene is far more polluting though than Methane. In the long run, it will be less polluting than the SLS. After all, every SLS launched will drop debris into the ocean, while once they get the design down, no more SH boosters will do the same.

@requiem @winter Still early days on that, SH is too early, and Falcon 9 is a medium lift, it was revolutionary when it was made for its low cost and reusability, but it's fairly pedestrian beyond that. SH will be where they actually move ahead when it's complete.
