widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes.

Source?

There are many sources because it’s been widely reported. Here’s one: reuters.

It’s been widely reported, here’s a reuters source.

Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.

Eh, theorists just work in units where they’re all 1 anyway. And experimentalists round to to the nearest order of magnitude lol

It’s always been this way, somewhat. The onion predicted the rise of Trump way back in 2012 with "After Obama Victory, Shrieking White-Hot Sphere Of Pure Rage Early GOP Front-Runner For 2016” (apologies for the HuffPost link, the onion just revamped their website and this article now gives a 404 error).

Sources say the screaming orb might be the only potential candidate that would tap into Republicans’ deep-seated, seething fury after this election.

And of course when Bush was inaugurated they predicted his increase in the national deficit and starting wars in the Middle East with Bush: ‘Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over’

The volumetric energy density is 60% of lithium ion batteries, but the energy density per kg is more like 75% since the batteries are lighter. Assuming that scales to the ev range, that’s probably sufficient for a lot of use cases.

I have one of these. The sous vide cooker itself is very nice and easy to use, I’d highly recommend it. The app is a bit clunky and not necessary to use the device. I certainly wouldn’t pay $2 a month for it.

The app lets you set a temperature and cook time, but you can also do this using the buttons on the cooker. Sometimes the WiFi pairing is finicky, so honestly I skip the app half the time. The app also lets you view and write recipes. I guess the big advantage is you can click “start cooking” and it automatically sets the device temp and time, but doing it manually isn’t much harder. I’m also not wowed by the in-app recipe selection, and generally just get recipes from the internet.

I don’t know what to call them, kind of an in between between what you would call fast food and what you would expect from a “slow” fancier restaurant

Fast casual? Typical chains considered to be “fast casual” are Chipotle and Five Guys. A local taco/burrito/burger/sandwich place would probably fall in that category.

Beehaw had been around for a few years before lemmy.world launched. They have a specific sort of space they want to create, so good for them for being able to maintain it.

That’s too straightforward - this is google after all.

There’ll be a new product that integrates this feature and they’ll call it Google Slides, while rebranding the old “Slides” as Google Presentations. Then in a few years they’ll kill off the new Google Slides, leaving only Google Presentations and tons of confused users.

“To clear up some recent media speculation, I also want to confirm the $1.50 hot dog price is safe,” Costco’s new chief financial officer, Gary Millerchip, said in May.

Smart move, Gary.

The founder of Costco told a CEO who wanted to raise the prices on Costco’s hot dogs: “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

What about one that pisses beer?

As annoying as it is to lug a bag around and find room for it, I much prefer this to checking it. There’s the small but nonzero chance your bag doesn’t make it to your destination, plus the added time waiting at baggage return.

God forbid they elect Mark Robinson as governor, then you have state level oppression again.

At an event in Greenville, Robinson said people who “are confused” about their gender should “find a corner outside somewhere to go” to the bathroom.

I lived in Chapel Hill during the 2016 election. The one silver lining to that Election Day was voting Pat McCrory out of office after his own bathroom bill nonsense.

I will run this thing until it dies.

Good luck with that. My 2011 MacBook Pro still works. I’m pretty sure it’ll outlive me.

Settle down, Jayden

One definition: food “belonging to the category that is salty or spicy rather than sweet.”

It’s a bit of an odd definition but it gets the gist across. An example of using savory: differentiating between pies with savory filling (meats, vegetables, etc) and sweet filling (fruits, custard).

Idk how a 10 minute drive is a half hour walk. Average walking speed is 3 mph, so a half hour is 1.5 miles. If you’re driving that in 10 minutes, you’re only averaging 9 mph.

I don’t mean to pile on here because I understand your frustration. I grew up in NYC where basically no one drives, and didn’t get a driver’s license until my 30s when I moved to California for work. Even then I put off getting a car for years, since I like walking and don’t mind “decent” public transit.

But it just became impossible to continue. My commute was an hour and 45 minutes (one way), with about 40 minutes of walking, a train and a bus. I like walking but when it was over 100 degrees in the summer, or raining, or a wildfire smoke day it was miserable. The buses run every 30 minutes so if there’s a missed connection the commute becomes over 2 hours (still just one way). And the train has only 1 line so when there’s a mechanical issue you’re out of luck and just have to call an Uber anyway.

I finally broke down and got a car. My commute is now 30 minutes each way. The gas for my commute is somehow cheaper than the public transit. It’s ridiculous and it shouldn’t be this way, but it is.

It’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.
