During the communist regime in Romania there was a ban on abortion and the state encouraged people to have lots of kids (sound familiar?). This lead to A LOT of kids in orphanages and not enough resources to properly care for them. Conditions were atrocious, to say the least.
But, that lead to a lot of research data by following the lives of kids who got adopted from those orphanages. It was determined that 4 month old was the cut-off point from where kids can still recover from traumatic experiences. Kids adopted younger than that did fine, but kids adopted after that age were affected for the rest of their lives. The fact that they didn’t actually remember things consciously did not matter.
I never owned a 486 either. My first upgrade after the 286 was a Pentium.
We’ve been engaged for a while
Doesn’t engaged mean that you proposed and she said yes? Isn’t that when you give the ring? (I don’t really know, engagement rings are not a thing in my culture, but that’s what I saw in American movies)
Also worth reading the books he co-wrote with Stephen Baxter.
The first book is ok, but the rest of the series is pretty meh. Still bought and read them all as a Pratchett fan, but I wouldn’t recommend them to others. If you want to expand past the Discworld series, Good Omens is a much better recommendation. Also Nation is a really good book too.
I zoomed in to read what they’re saying on the bottom right and was disappointed.
My vacuum would pass that test… why is a Tesla worse at this?
I ignore any calls that are not from my contacts. If it’s important they’ll leave a message. I have DND on at night. Calls and messages from my wife have separate sounds and exception from DND.
Samsung galaxy has the same feature (at least on the S25, I don’t recall if I had it on the S10)
Ok, that’s absurd. I thought it makes sense to change the name for people in the US if that’s the official name in the US (according to the USGS data, which has always been the official source for this info). But translating the US name into other languages that already have a name for it makes no sense.
There are studies about how other tools reduced various capacities. Our memory capacity has decreased and how we use it has changed. People used to store a lot of information, now we only store a sort of index (we remember where to look it up, not the information itself). Our attention span has also greatly decreased with the shift to short form content (not a useful tool, but just another cognitive change).
2024-12-07 is not “American style”, it’s ISO standard date format.
They have rules against using their services for that kind of stuff. Once they’re made aware of the rules being broken (which they were), they should enforce the rules by stopping service. The same as if you report CSAM on a website to the hosting service and they take down the site. The hosting service is not the one accountable, but it would get in trouble if it comes out they knew about it and didn’t do anything.
If it’s a beginner trying to learn those commands, definitely the latter.
If it’s a beginner trying to set up their environment for the actual thing they’re trying to learn, then a fire and forget single command is more user-friendly.
If your phone is connected to the cell network, then you can be tracked.
My cars are not modern enough for that, but I always carry a surveillance device in my pocket to make up for it.
incredibly… useless… compared to sperm generated in space
That’s what I don’t get. Transporting fresh sperm is not an issue that anyone cares about in space colonization. Sperm will get there in two ways: frozen or made on the spot.
One guy’s defense was “I thought she was dead”.
