Yeah, it’s been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it’s a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.

Ted Lasso is just Major League, but fútbol.

This currently works, but I don’t know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.

The “old Kindle PC app” might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it’s going to be done soon as well.

edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.

The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn’t 126 years old, so we’ll say they’re 26.

You can tell it’s an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)

Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.

Matt Parker uses Excel to demonstrate how subpixels/images are generated.

The caveat to THAT is that we do have historical data, and if we can find one or more images confirmed to be the target, we could narrow it down without additional imaging.

It’s not a world ending strike. It’s 2.3% odds that a city ending strike lands somewhere on earth, most likely in the ocean.

It’s a fraction of a fraction of a % that it’ll hit somewhere with any humans at all, much less a populated city.

And on top of that, we have until 2032 to decide what to do about it, with enough time to potentially redirect it with technology we’ve already demonstrated that works. And if that isn’t enough, we just need one or two more data points to figure out almost exactly where it will hit, and can evacuate the area.

Just like we do for hurricanes and other natural disasters.

This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.

Just ask Tumblr.

They do an after purchase check on the car, and the cars sold have a post-sale warranty.

Both CarMax and Carvana offer a one week refund policy, and a post sale warranty. The warranty doesn’t cover everything, but they won’t be selling a car they expect will immediately fall apart, cause they’d have to eat that problem.

I assume if they end up with a piece of crap, they’ll sell the car to an auction or scrapyard to recoup what they can.

Get an electric leaf blower for whatever brand of cordless tools you have and blow off all the dust before coming inside.

Fixes like 98% of the issue right there.

Yeah, after he sexually harassed a flight attendant and laughed about it on Twitter.

The part you’re missing is that earth isn’t a point in space. That’s why there’s tides caused by the sun (which are different than tides caused by the moon)

A person wouldn’t feel the difference, but the tides would slosh back when the solar gravity stops effecting them.

I have a watt meter monitoring the power usage of my NAS. Out of all my checks, I assume that’s how I’m going to know I get hacked before anything else.

I think you’d have a theoretical issue if the next person who got that number also tried to set up a signal account.

Yes, the tidal effect of the sun would disappear, and that would probably make the oceans all fucky suddenly (after an 8 minutes lag).

Yeah, this isn’t being maintained. All the ones near me are dead websites.
