When I was a kid they taught penmanship too. I was awful at it but then when I was an adult I had a job where I actually had to use those skills and I was glad to have them - same with everything I learned in Home Ec, most the stuff I learned in wood/metal/auto shop, etc. I think all of those classes are extinct now, based on how people talk about school never teaching them anything useful.

Beautiful pup! I hope mine still looks that good at 15.5

The whole IP paradigm needs to change. I can accept the logic that IP needs to exist in the first place so that people who invent something can get paid (at least in our current system) - but the term should be shortened to something like five years, or if it’s going to be longer there needs to be a list of events that immediately invalidate it, including the product no longer being legally available. IP shouldn’t be able to be traded between companies like a commodity, and it shouldn’t be able to be locked up to prevent it from going into the public domain.

The days of modular components in cars is nearing an end.

It’s a shame, because with EVs especially modular everything should be a whole lot easier than ever before. I guess it took a decade and a half for governments to force smartphones to be able to be jailbroken or use the same messaging protocol, hopefully we see a similar evolution on EVs where these locked down features get forced onto common standards.

The best copilot can do is autofill lines that everyone’s written a million times. That’s not nothing, but it aint replacing a human brain any time soon.

Plus it’s not like he’s literally done nothing for thirteen years. He did Fire and Blood, wrote for TV, did a bunch of companion books, edited and produced stuff, and so on.

It would be nice if Winds didn’t seemingly get put on the backburner, but creators really can’t control their inspiration. George has as many stories to tell as hes always had, but for whatever reason he’s having trouble coming back to finish the story he started almost thirty years ago, and TBH I get it.

What if the ending to show is actually really, really similar to the ending of the books? I’ve seen theories floated about how certain book-only events might make it more satisfying even if the broad strokes (Bran becoming king etc) are the same - but damn seeing people completely reject your series conclusion would take the wind out of anyone’s sails.

Actually all of the TOS films are great.

Ten years before they pulled this. Hopefully the cookers can be used without the app.

electric trains are an over one hundred year old technology.

lol. lmao, even.

I think with most Dems (including Bernie) it’s a case of terminal being old and not understanding what they’re doing. Basically every single internet bill is written by corporate lobbyists and handed off to be rubber stamped.

Also how the everliving hell do you add AI to input devices?

They won’t, but they figure there are probably still some investors floating around who will buy that stupid line.

Some users joked that they would rather see a black screen than an ad.

Yeah. The time lost is a shame but the ad is far worse.

I’m still rocking my second generation Chevy Volt! 50ish miles on a full charge (if you live someplace flat) then 30-40 MPG after that, and it’s a reasonably sized hatchback and not an annoyingly large crossover or SUV. I would upgrade to a Bolt but god that car is ugly.

With Debian I think I was able to load the appropriate keys after installing the OS and then re-enable secureboot in the bios. Might be worth checking into.

Ah, the irony.

The interesting thing here is wondering why they never upgraded. Perhaps managing flights digitally just hasn’t changed much since the early nineties and they never needed anything else?
