@georgetakei So, FedEx don't operate in the Arabic world (or struggle to compete, and also struggle to understand why).

@Wolven It's not species-wide. It's just morons with this affliction.

@APoD My first thought was "Caroline Herschel"?Which was right.

@stux It's a mountaineering manoeuvre called "back & footing", also, "chimneying".Cavers also use it, also nose-down.. Cats probably learned it, sneaking up on Miocene primate meals.

@DamienMarieAtHope You repeat "a kid's" as if stealing from an adult's cancer charity would be, somehow, less unacceptable.Why?

@APoD Yeah, some of my best shots of 1999 were just before second contact, through thin cloud.Got lemons, make lemonade. No sugar.

@foone Not sure that the (common) forms of colourblindness leave you unreceptive to all colours, rather unable to distinguish (various) colour-pairs.

@Josie @stux Doesn't the US have standard sizes for road lane widths, parking bay sizes, etc?And US manufacturers ignore them?

@grickle Hey, I spent 3 hours re-building the bird-feeder with "fuck off, Corvid" spikes.I don't know if the sparrows (great tits, robins) can negotiate version 0.1, but I'm TRYING

@foone So far, nobody has considered the problems of adequately reproducing Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, scored for a battery of cannons.OTOH, "letting the smoke out" is something semiconductor users are quite good at.

@aral I am sure their religious advisors (military-approved ones, at least) have told them that they are doing *their* God's work, and are therefore good people.What the Palestinian theologians, worshipping the same god, make of it ... is a problem for the religious.

@futurebird @JamesWidman Doesn't your society have "planning laws" (sometimes known as "zoning regulations", an probably many other things) designed explicitly to regulate who builds what, where and when?Which will be circumvented by the rich and powerful, like all laws.

@futurebird Car free, and except for the outskirts, road free.So you don't need laws *against* cars. Anyone can drive around in their apartment as much as they want. They can even rent a large shop unit and call it a "garage" and fit a metal door in place of the supplied window.

@futurebird This would be an American typing?There's a reason my apartment has a shower and no bath : the space between living- and bed- rooms is 1.3m × 4m, and needs a toilet.It was built this way in 1867.

@ghul @pkal GPL v2 was, IIRC, about 1988? Which was well into the era of binary blobs on ROMs, game cartridges, etc. The question of "hardware controlled by built-in software" was live long before then, and GPL didn't cover it of choice.In 1988, I was installing highly propriatory SW updates at work with a screwdriver and 2 ROMs on the 8088 industrial SBC.

@publicvoit The "W powered" confused me. So a "Pi W" is a thing.FTFA : "Power: 24 V DC supply, 2.1 mm DC-in jack "

@Nonilex Necessary corollary : antiaircraft weapons at the ends of Pitonyak (sp?) airport runways, and an instruction to remove their assets by ship.If that means gas-axing aircraft into 40ft containers ... well, yes.
