afaik castles have a recurring problem where rich people buy them saying “we’re going to restore this and keep it authentic” but then as soon as they find out the price of doing that they backtrack and usually end up not doing anything. But I would prefer doing nothing to doing this.
I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.
this is the ending to Men in Black (and then they did it again for the ending to Men in Black II because that film was creatively bankrupt).
Left that unchecked, I’ve got 16gb ram so I don’t think that was the issue
This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China’s tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.
This reminds me that I’m writing a story about a witch and one of the first things that happens is that she pisses off the mushrooms and they tell the trees not to talk to her. I should get back to that.
DOOM can’t run inside a CAPTCHA!
I went looking for this a year or so back and I couldn’t find any big study that looked at the lifetime emissions of motorcycles compared to cars, but the road emissions by themselves are generally about as bad because while there are fewer emissions from motorcycles, the emissions that exist are worse because the smaller engine doesn’t burn the fuel as completely. The thing is a huge chunk of a car’s lifetime emissions come from manufacturing, which I suspect makes motorcycles better, but again I never found that comprehensive study.
I think they did at one point, but during the plot he’s the only one and he’s working unpaid overtime, because he warned them when he signed his original contract that the system they wanted needed more engineers and more time but they didn’t listen and then threatened him into working for free when the system wasn’t ready at the end of his original contract. This is the direct reason why he committed the corporate espionage that caused the whole park to go fubar.
I’ve been on both sides of that kind of interaction, though not in academia. I met my boss of six months for the first time like two weeks ago, tbh I’m not sure if I would recognize him (or anyone else on my “team” for that matter) if I saw him again right now.
small trucks that are designed to transport things
The optimal city transport network: people on trolleys and ebikes, cargo entering the city on trains and being "last mile"d with electric kei trucks.
Always worth remembering that American-style suburbs were a deliberate political project in the postwar period. They didn’t “just happen”, the government spend billions making them happen at the behest of auto makers, property developers, and racists (but I repeat myself).
Well yeah I guess if you’re buying a used machine from six years ago with millions in existence because tons of businesses bought them it’ll be cheap no matter what manufacturer it’s from. Thinkpads do hold up better against age than most.

On a Thinkpad!? Unless you’re buying a last-generation one that’s on clearance, that’s a laugh.
This conforms to my own experience. I first got on the “anti cars” train back when I was a lib, and I got on that train precisely because I worked a job in a place where I wasn’t allowed to have a car, but there was a bus that took me directly to work in the morning and everything else was walkable/busable and occasionally I would take a price-controlled taxi.
Not having to pay insurance or buy gas, not having to find parking, not having to wait in traffic, being able to read or use my phone during my commute - it’s all so nice, I got converted before I had ever heard the word “urbanism” and before anyone had invented the term “fifteen minute city”.
Joining the by far largest instance beats the entire purpose.
There’s kind of a tension here between Lemmy’s design and what makes most people join social media websites. Most people want the biggest, most centralized website.
I bought Hybrid Theory and Blizzard of Ozz both on CD on the same day I bought my Walkman CD player. 10/10 purchase, made riding my Razor scooter to school hard core.
I won’t even post to Hexbear without rereading my post and editing spelling/grammar errors, how do people submit research papers that will effect their professional reputation without doing it?
