Self driving cars will allways use far more energy and space per passenger than a train or light rail. And personally owned cars will spend more than 90% of their time just standing around, being useless and wasting space. If you propose self driving taxis, you're just another step closer to trains.

Yes, and "alive" is quite stretching it. Even if Norris wins every point still available in the last 3 race weekends, Verstappen only needs 24 points to secure the title. He could finish 6th three times to secure the title. Even if Verstappen doesn't get a single point in the last races, Norris needs to finish second every race and sprint and then get at least two more points through fastest laps or a win. There is still some mathematical chance but in reality over.

I don't think logseq has fully automated synchronization, at least it didn't when I started using it. What it does have is the option to automatically git commit changes. You can then synchronize through a remote repo. It isn't fully automatic and requires a remote repo you can trust with your data but it works great for me

The Egyptians most certainly didn't use the Latin alphabet 5000 years ago, in fact noone used the Latin alphabet until more than 2000 years later. So how on earth do you come up with the transcription "aaa" and is it supposed to be pronounced a-a-a or what?

The original German wording is "Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?". Literally translated that would be "Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the most beautiful woman in all the land." I would let "hottest" slide as a more contemporary translation.

That's the beauty about open source: it isn't beholden to the whims of anyone. If disagree with the Linux Foundation, you're free to make your own independent fork. Others that agree with you can then start contributing to the fork. And this isn't a purely theoretical scenario as it has happend with other open source projects before.

They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released

So there's another thing they share

If you play 3.5e, Hasbro shouldn't be affecting you. You'd be using old books and PDFs anyway and Hasbro has no control over that.

Not a native speaker, but to me it sounds correct in this context, since it's about the source codes of multiple games (versus the source code of a singular game/project). Similar to how "peoples" can be a correct plural when talking about multiple groups of people.

I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:

Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes

Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Yes, absolutely. When you look at the innovations happening to Windows recently like Copilot integration and Recall I'm glad that Linux is "boring"
