Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show

That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?

The pictures of the people look generated too, so it seems likely the same person would generate text too.

Except for the exact spelling I already share a last name with a war criminal president. But since I’m in a different country and the name has a positive association with an author here, it hasn’t really seemed like an issue.

“drauf” fehlt noch :-)

Ah, I thought she was calling her meat

Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives

“giving a shit” means “caring about”, I think you meant the opposite

I have to go to Uni Fribourg soon anyway, I’ll try to swing by to have a look. Thanks for the hint!

But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything

Ah yeah, of course. I thought that was the same in the location of the article, but maybe I misunderstood and that’s the main issue.

After re-reading it I’m still confused by this paragraph:

During my Monday visit, I purchased a kombucha and went through the check-out line without incident. (No high-tech gates block the exit if you go through the line like normal.) But for journalism’s sake, I then headed back into the store to try going out the new gate.

I have seen scan gates after self checkout counters before. In Albert Heiijn shops in Amsterdam and in Lidl Shops in Zürich.

But Coop and Migros Shops don’t have them in Switzerland. I think the 7/11 in Copenhagen also didn’t but I’m not sure of my memory.

Then I’d be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don’t really know how to test it out lol.

That will be even worse

Makes sense, you keep the furniture too after all

Yeah he almost has to say it, regardless of his thoughts, at least to keep up appearances, if he wants to appear christian.

Yeah I don’t know why anyone entertains the idea.

Lifting things to LEO still costs around 2000 USD per kg, even with modern cheaper prices thanks to reusable rockets. For a datacenter presumably you’d have to go higher where you have less drag, because you can’t keep doing burns for repositioning. So that sounds like it would already make everything so much more cost prohibitive. And the vibrations of a start are probably also not trivial, if your components are all hardened instead of off the shelf that will cost you more too. I see no world where that’s more economical than buying some cheap land in flyover USA and have truckers drive things there.

Regarding maintenance there are some approaches where you build more redundancy ahead of time and then let broken things rest in place. At least that was the spiel an Azure evangelist gave us once when I was an intern at a webdev shop (in 2012). But still, once enough breaks down (I think it was a third of components) they would usually then exchange an entire container. So yeah still not great for space.

The energy I don’t know about really, but at least it doesn’t sound impossible that it could be decent for solar, as long as you can deal with more and more holes in your solar sails over time. At least you wont have to deal with diurnal cycles I guess. But the heating is really the killer issue imho. You’d have to radiate off heat in a massive scale. Heat management for the ISS is fairly complex already. I don’t see how they would efficiently do this on a 5 GW scale. And once again a component level issue: all your cooling from the rack out has to be set up for it. No more fans local to systems, everything is heatpipes that need to connect to the entire spacecraft somehow.

Oh wow that Newegg Canada in Green is crazy. And for a pretty large discount too.

I had not encountered this on any price graphs before, very interesting. Thank you.

I’ve seen that on a big (and I think expensive) Samsung TV at a friend’s parent’s house. Weirdly enough the TV came with an external HDMI source switcher box. Really weird design choice on Samsung’s part.

What’s that?

Only as long as one DNS enactor doesn’t overtake the other. Otherwise your gay might crash.

Haha does this mean they removed only the BypassNRO script, but not the underlying regkey?

That was actually preinstalled by IT at my workplace! It’s a pretty nice little archiver. Seconded.
