Hell yeah, check out the blue bruising on those mushrooms. You know those motherfuckers are gonna slap.

If we’re including movies: “That was neither honorable nor courageous!”

If not: “One is my name, the other is not.”

Damn, I think they’ve actually come down on their price lately. They’re a full $300 less than I paid for my Pixel.

But so is android. Most of us are unfortunately stuck with one or the other for now.

This makes me sad :-\

This is fucking beautiful.

Yeah, this was stupid to me. “Hey, have you ever noticed the eerie instance of your phone showing you ads about something you just talked about? To test this, talk about something unique and see if your phone serves you ads about it. 👍”

Even better, because then the passwords would still be unique and difficult to crack

How many services do you need to log into during the trip? If it’s a minimal set, you could temporarily change their passwords to something memorable, and then change it back using your password manager when you return.

Democrat and Republican voters would probably agree on the president having to be a white male.

Have been using it for years and really like it

“It worked on Bugs Bunny” -George H. W. Bush, probably

the entire entire database is decrypted on unlock.

That would be the selling point for me to choose KeePassXC over Vaultwarden.

Not at all! I couldn’t tell you aren’t a native speaker. Regarding a “moon elevator”, or more realistically a space elevator, these kinds of Herculean physics problems are exactly what people are trying to iron out. The forces involved are astronomical.

So I found a dowel rod online that’s 1 meter long by 25 mm in diameter made of beech, which is pretty typical for this kind of rod. Each rod weighs 420 g. 300,000 km is 300,000,000 m. So for a dowel rod to be 300,000,000 m long, it would weigh 126,000,000,000 g, or 126,000,000 kg. You would never be able to push this rod. If you had a magical hydraulic ram that could, it would just compress the soil under it. This is on the scale of the foce released from an atomic bomb.

But let’s throw that out and pretend the whole thing weighs 420 grams instead. Maybe it’s made of a novel, space-age material instead of beech. And since you’ve said it can’t bend or break, the portion at the surface of the earth would be spinning at roughly 1,000 kph (due to the rotation of the earth), and the portion at the end of the rod would be spinning at about 28 km/s. Most of the mass of the rod would be spinning faster than escape velocity, so you wouldn’t be able to hold onto it. It would be gone almost instantly.

Let’s pretend you could hold onto it. Then the person on the moon couldn’t hold it, because the earth rotates on its axis about 28 times faster than the moon travels around its orbit. So you can see how this problem devolves into ever more layers of magic and hand-waiving.

The final problem is the fundamental difference between classroom physics and material engineering. If you could fix the moon to the end of the rod, and you used a space-age material that weighs 420 g for the whole thing, and it could be so rigid as to not bend, then it would have to break instead. If, instead, it’s designed to not break, then it must be able to bend. This is just how real materials work. But even if it does neither, or at most only bends a little, it is still true that as you push on the rod it would compress. So the tip wouldn’t move at first. The pressure would move through the rod like a wave. You can’t send information faster than light.

exactly lol

Microsoft has a whole Linux division now. They’re fully in the “extend” portion of their plan:
