Funny meme aside, it wouldn’t actually work because cremation is way too hot to pop corn. At around 1000 Celsius, the corn would instantly carbonise and turn to ash, just like the rest your body.

Even baking corn at 200 Celsius (typical oven roasting temperature) is already too hot for corn to pop, and burns it instead.

Minisforum, beelink, aoostar and many others all make much more competitive offerings.

No in house NAS OS, but tbh I recommend just taking the plunge to learn how to install your own OS, like Linux.

Australia displays price per 100 sheets.

Example:

Scientists too busy writing grant proposals to realise that the developers of RStudio have made Positron, which is VS Code based and generally better

I hate tech companies and the general public’s collective amnesia of functioning digital assistants, so I’m co-opting this as a copypasta.

Google Assistant was great on Android before they dumbed it down for Gemini and then killed it. It gave you daily summaries in the morning and was able to do basic assistant stuff like reminders and simple queries pretty well. Then Gemini came and it became just a shitty web search.

Not an unfounded concern if you remember the PS3. The original model was sold at a loss, and also able to run Linux.

People were buying them like crazy for non gaming uses, including building super computer clusters. An entire aftermarket of various small vendors essentially flipping PS3s with various Linux distros flourished, including offering the usual suite of tech support services that Sony didn’t. There was even a black market for the gutted bluray drives, which were expensive, but useless in clusters.

The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI

I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleMusic/comments/vydyj8/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_devs_are/

Because all in one distros have mistakes or bugs, for which fixes are only available in the next release 6-12 months later.

Other times, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, but due to the vendors shenanigans (Ubuntu) it’s ironically much harder to fix. Adding extra repos via ppas and managing them is harder than just pulling it from AUR.

Having problems due to a vendor’s mistake and being unable to fix them was exactly why I wanted to move away from Windows and macOS. All in one distros kind of fail at addressing that. Arch is basically “fuck it, I’ll compile it myself”

Israeli (derogatory)

Obviously you should try to consider all options, but the amount that this is happening is way exaggerated.

Europe in particularly is diverting a lot of funding away from public sector to defense spending due to geopolitical anxieties.

International organisations aren’t safe either, because they rely on funding from the developed countries who are all cutting funding, i.e. US, Europe, etc.

Denatonoum Benzoate.

Intensely bitter compound used to prevent people from putting them into their mouths. Examples include nail polishes (to help nail biting habits), button cell batteries, and even Nintendo switch cartridges.

Actually, the term 3rd world is outdated and referred to countries that couldn’t decide whether to align themselves with the US or Russia - oh wait

Israel strikes Gaza

The move away from passive voice is refreshing, even if very late

The existing Euro does not have a proper system for day to day transactions. Transfers are currently handled by SEPA, which are only suitable for things like bills. This means that a lot of people especially in less developed EU nations end up using an international bank card, i.e. MasterCard/Visa for day to day transactions.

Details are somewhat vague, but the ECB’s website seems to have many good assurances. This even includes strong privacy features, such as offline capabilities and cash-like privacy.

As suspected, this paper is based upon Paul Ekman’s Facial Action Coding System, better known as micro-expressions.

This controversial literature borderlines on pseudo-science, with Ekman’s work having significant conflicts of interest in the form of undisclosed funding from US defence, police, and border control, who wanted Ekman to create systems that can detect lies based on supposed micro expressions. Subsequent independent meta analyses have found that micro expressions cannot be consistently read, even by Ekman’s own researchers.

Unfortunately, despite this, world governments have poured millions of dollars into private contractors to develop AI systems based on this flawed research for border control.

South Korea is infamous for very high cost of living, especially considering the very low salaries.

You can check numbeo for more specific comparisons, but Seoul and Busan are only 20% and 30% cheaper in terms of cost of living compared to Atlanta GA, respectively. Not nearly enough to make up the salary difference.

The fact there there are migrant workers already tells you the situation. People’s behaviour generally follow economic incentives. There’s a reason why South Korea is struggling with emigration.

Because money, sadly.

An automotive factory worker averages around $25/hour in the US, or an annual salary of around 50K.

An automotive factory worker in South Korea averages around 17,000 KRW/hour, or an annual salary of around 36 mil KRW, which is roughly $12/hour or 25K annual.
