The CDC episode is one of my favorites for the setup, and then it meant nothing.

Hawkeye season 2 better not be just set at the farmhouse.

How about we just send them all to Andromeda. Fast or slow, doesn't matter.

We've become less of both, free and safe. I don't see this helping either of those. Btw, I just learned that the Ben Franklin quote of liberty or safety is actually out of context and was concerning a specific situation in Pennsylvania. The general idea was, don't take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe. I see these drones as an arms race to let the police do what they want to do without being in danger themselves. Oh, the kids? Well, sorry about that, shooting people is all the police are trained on.

There went my theory. It was a bump, and then a flat tire.

"What a nasty question!"

Well, it is nasty, I'll give you that.

"I hate Discovery."

"This isn't the Star Trek show."

"Oh... never mind."

Hey, are we going to get the original Discovery channel back? Or any of the good ones from old cable? No? Oh well...

Don't forget the mimic species that evolution selected for because they look like something else. Even the most complex video game is nothing compared to nature's complexity. I'd love to learn about geology, but look at how many variations there are in just one group of minerals. Biochemistry is the real misleading one - "I'm just a few types of atoms" Yeah, in a shitload of combinations.

The latter is a stab at the part of the law saying that sites can't encourage the use of VPNs to bypass it. To paraphrase Ben Franklin's quote (as it's often used wrong) "don't take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe." And the UK took both away by trying to discourage VPN safe practices to avoid their lockdown (that doesn't work, as recent news has shown).

Should have retroed Clippy. They probably would have got a few percent bump just from nostalgia.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
