French Tripods? Ulla-la.

Kids that age ain’t stupid though just confused spirits

That’s why parents should exorcise their children for at least 60 minutes per day.

There’s a bug in the rule.

Former President Donald J Trump has more important things on his mind when he wakes up. Like saving the economy, securing the borders, and hoping his bladder holds out while playing his daily game of hunt the mushroom.

Begun the Drone War has.

Realcalc has an excellent RPN mode (enabled through Calculator Type in Settings). I’ve used it for the last six years or so (technically, in the premium version of the app).

You’re supposed to put each machine on top of each other, hence the term full stack developer.

After the longest drought in recent memory, some over at deathlist.net see Jimmy Carter as the key log to unleash a torrent of deaths in the latter half of 2024…

Nobody is asking for it, but that’s not the purpose: the purpose is to stir up opposition.

I suspect a significant portion of the population will be indifferent to the proposal. At best, they’ll shrug and say, ‘Sure, makes sense if that’s what’s needed,’ without bothering to think it through fully.

“Labour’s slightly left of me, Reform is to the right, here I am, stuck right of middle I’m screwed.” - Rishi Sunak, probably.

Or, AIs who are programmed not to lie will start writing, “Hi, I’m AI,” to avoid detection.

To be fair, the workers were probably used to calling it Twitterylene.

I work in a university. Our web based services bork surprisingly frequently after Chrome updates and the IT Helpline’s go-to response is ‘have you tried turning it off and on again Firefox?’.

I think the median average temperature is around 2,200°C.

The Earth has a radius of 6,371km, giving a volume of 1.08e13km^3.

A sphere of half this volume would have a radius of 5,057km. Within the Earth, this sphere would sit at a depth of 6,371 - 5,057 = 1,314km.

From this chart, the temperature at that depth is around 2,200°C, so half the volume of the Earth has a temperature above that, and half a temperature below it.
