Yup, this - batteries are consumables. They have a service life of ~2-5 years depending on load. If the manual doesn’t tell you how to replace them then it’s basically ewaste already

Depends on what you need:

• As cheap as possible, but actually want a VM: OCI free tier will be way bigger than you will probably need
• Happy paying money but still want to learn about Linux things: I’ve had good experiences with Scaleway
• I just want something I can set up and not think about: don’t use a VPS. Architect your site as a pure-static site, stick it in an S3 bucket. You’ll probably be within the free tier unless you do absolutely bonkers traffic, and once it’s running you can leave it alone for literal years without worrying about patches or upgrades

Llama 3.1:

I couldn’t find any information on the New York Times website about dinosaurs being found roaming a playground. It’s possible that the article doesn’t exist or has not been published yet.

However, I can tell you that it’s highly unlikely for dinosaurs to be found roaming a modern-day playground in the United States. Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago. The last dinosaurs on Earth lived during the Maastrichtian age, which was before human civilization even existed.

If you’re looking for information on a specific news article or topic, I’d be happy to help you search for it!

Edit: to clarify - this instance is not configured to fetch external resources unless a specific prompt syntax is used, so the first paragraph is entirely BS

I suppose the point of a longsword is less “wickedly sharp razor blade to slice and dice with precision” and more “wedge shaped heavy piece of metal to drop on people with the hope of finding a gap in their armour”

Over grip seems like a really great way to slice your hand open

Adding the cue marks for the skip intro takes actual effort to set up correctly

Yup - anyone who is likely to try and hit the US is far enough away is going to be using long range ballistic missiles, and it’s been pretty conclusively demonstrated that it’s technically feasible to intercept a single missile, it sure isn’t reliable enough to be a reasonable deterrent or cheap enough to build enough launchers to give you any amount of coverage.

Iron dome works because Israel is small, with a concentrated population, and is being attacked with small, short range rockets that are easy to spot on radar - that isn’t a likely scenario for the US to face

Tingly

They seem to be pretty good at making sure the military has all the finding they need

I’d be ok with anonymous donations if they were truly anonymous both publicly and to the management of the institution receiving the money.

Maybe this is something that the government could facilitate - pool these resources, then help distribute them where they are needed. Almost like how taxes work.

It’s doable, just needs a fair bit of hardware, time and money

New Zealand, similar story; my wife has been in hospital 3 times in the last 5 years - twice needing surgery - totalling about 20 days in hospital. The only out of pocket expenses were parking and getting food delivered for me because I’m picky and didn’t want what they had in the cafeteria.

They are in it for the vibes more than the anything

I guess my point is less about the party specifically, are more that your country might not be collapsing quite so quickly if 49% of the population didn’t feel massively disenfranchised every 4 years, and if there were actually incentives for collaboration and compromise between different view points

I vote Green.

Because I live in a country with an actual proportional representation system, so my vote for a minor party still allows the major party that I most closely align with to gain power

have a build environment [set up]

Means that you need to have a C/C++ compiler and typical set of supporting tools installed so you can compile the program. For Debian (which Raspberry Pi OS is based on), the build-essential package will get you most of the way there - you can use the search tools at https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to find which packages provide the other tools you need

clone the repo

Means download the code using the git tool - run git clone <url>

Molotov cocktail, except is just a dead guy called Molotov holding a jerrycan

I’m just a little sad that there are people in the world who have lived such empty, passionless lives that they can’t conceive of being so excited and invested in something that they could lose their self control for a moment

If you can’t afford to pay your staff enough for them to want to work for you, then your business has failed - you just haven’t run out of cash yet.

Pay them properly, or admit that you don’t have a viable business model.
