Wait, Trump was the 58th president? I smell an AI article.

... To be surrounded by people that would let you do that must be such a sad life.

Having seen what Annapurna has done creating unreal worlds and impossible recursive realities I am extremely hyped to see what they do with control 2. I will definitely play the shit out of that game.

Does it count as 7 if the index finger is forked?

You use it very much like a tea kettle. It pulls a thousand Watts for 3 to 5 minutes depending on what you're cooking. You bring the water to the boil and you are pretty much done. You only leave it plugged in while you're using it you must use it with water in it and you always unplug it when you're done.

I should note that the one that I linked before was the same design but with inferior materials and leaked badly, shorting out and causing a dangerous situation. I linked to the replacement that I've been using since that has been performing very well.

If you're using something or electrical to cook, and a device like this is ideal because the heating element is almost directly in contact with the material that's being heated so the amount of energy loss is very low and the efficiency is much higher. Just about the only way you could do better is with an induction cooktop which turns the pot itself into a burner using induction.

I can't speak to generator usage.

Even funnier. I am not a software develoer. It's odd that my keyboard won't even let me write it that way without extra effort.

Thank you for the laugh.

I remember a 7th grade teacher making fun of my computer knowledge as I had made some fun adjustments to the qbasic gorillas game. She said "you act like you know more than anyone else does" trying to shame me in front of the class. My response? "That's because I do." As flatly as I could. She was silent.

I have software developer in my title now.

Will or funding. Replacement of a system that initially cost 5mil to install and configure in 2009 is gonna cost 2x that at least to replace.

No one else will have us. Immigration laws are very difficult to navigate for almost every country. We've looked.

My kids do. They were younger than 4 years old when I explained it to them and they didn't have any trouble understanding. Kind of makes me wonder why so many adults have so much trouble.

 

"The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not narn or human or centauri or gaim or minbari. It speaks in the language of hope." "It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star. .. We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear. .. We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light our way to a better future. We are one." "We are one." Sheridan/G'Kar, the Alliance Preamble to the Declaration of Principles, The Paragon of Animals
