Huh that’s funny, “laying to rest” in English is an expression for burying someone after they have died

There’s not really enough heat generated typically to be worth going through the losses of turning it back into electricity.

More advanced AC systems leverage full heat pumps to move heat around from places with more than wanted to places with less. Which is pretty effective at conserving energy in bigger buildings

I’m not 100% this example actually exists, but I would not at all be surprised if there are office buildings out there that use excess heat from their AC to heat hot water for the building

I don’t think I’d want to change the life I’ve had so far as the sum of my experience is how I’m the way I am. Would probably meet the people and see how things went from there.

My current parents would continue to always be my parents in that scenario I think

Ooooh nooo…

And VMware goes for another rotation around the drain

The fact they won’t sell you a perpetual licence for a hypervisor you run on your hardware, is possibly the most ridiculous subscription model I’ve seen so far

But that’s the thing with the GOP. You give them absolute power one time, and they’ll never, ever give it up.

They can only take, the only give they are capable of is to themselves

Also why swear words are swears. They’re what the common people called things, and it was a way of denigrating the proletariat to regard it as foul language.

Shit Vs excrement

Fuck Vs copulate

Etc

Funny, I think there was an old fella with a beard that put them in the same category

Imagine telling on yourself like this

Chaps in Glasgow at 1am trying to sleep

I mean it’ll never happen even if it averted the end of the world, but Hilary Clinton publicly saying she was happy with the published findings would probably be the best thing she ever did

It’s kinda wild this is a legitimate possibility

Imagine looking at that list of policies and thinking “not on my watch”

If it’s a work from home day, I’ve only been awake 7 minutes

so yes, I need breakfast first, but then we can talk

I was gonna say all this is going to do is make a load of people start using VPNs, who would have otherwise had no reason to. Therefore making the surveillance they want to do even harder

Not necessarily, been a little while since I checked on it, but my understanding was fuchsia was Google’s home grown replacement for the Linux kernel.

It’s in use already on some of their nest devices IIRC and there’s always been speculation that eventually they may introduce it as an alternative kernel for Android (or chrome OS, though obviously less likely now) one day

Lol bit of a blast from the past with the old logo in the thumbnail image

Well shit, I didn’t think the Jurassic park books would ever end up on my reading list but here we are

Depends on the language, English to any big language and back wasn’t too bad, but Babel fish was probably the best in 2001 and it was far from perfect. I remember it being a common joke at the time that the translations were a bit rubbish.
