There used to be a dirt road that had a railroad crossing near the town I grew up in. The railroad crossing was gone, but there was a hump in the road where it used to be. A friend of mine decided he wanted to see how much air he could get and took his Beetle over it doing about 70mph.
He wound up rolling his Beetle a couple dozen times. Only minor injuries, but the car was toast.
Yes, they do. So do I, for that matter. While my part of the company focuses more on government projects like water plants, fuel depots, and utility management, the rest of the company does process automation in the energy sector. That's a fancy way of saying they build control systems for refineries.
I disagree with your assertion that more thought leads to less conservatism. The particular coworker I'm talking about does quite a bit of thinking, and is quite eloquent. He's still wrong, of course, but it's due to his opinions, his priorities, and what he chooses to believe more than a lack of thought.
Yet I continue to constantly hear from my conservative colleagues about how bad Biden is for the oil industry...
I don't believe so - the docs mention several ways to boot a pi but most only work for newer models.
An option might be to boot an SD card read-only and run everything over NFS. It's trivial to do that sort of thing with some UNIX clones (OpenBSD, for instance), but I don't know about a modern Linux.
Yeah, everyone tells me that, but I just can't bring myself to care. Then again I watch maybe one movie a year, so I'm sure part of my disinterest in Episode 3 is my general disinterest in movies.
It was episode 2 for me. Everything was just horrible about that movie. Acting, plot, everything. I never watched 3.
It's not a thing.
Granted, there are things in this world that aren't chemicals. Muons, stuff at the LHC, plasma... But everything that a normal person interacts with is a chemical.
Or make your own, like the tankie mod is doing.
It might be too outdated to do major services, but it's still fine for its original use - interfacing with electronic components.
You could build a weather station, monitor temperature and humidity in your attic and crawlspace, automatically water plants, etc. You don't need much electronics knowledge for that sort of thing.
Strange use of the term. I always understood a "doomsday weapon" to be one that destroys everyone involved. It's not a weapon for winning a war, it's to not lose at any cost.
A weaponized virus that kills indiscriminately, for instance.
It'll be interesting to see if it really is a protoplanet core. We don't get to study planetary cores up close.
I can't see Lucious Malfoy without being reminded of the Sluggy Freelance parody, where the Harry stand-in keeps calling him "Luscious."
