Voyager has no propulsion thrusters. It got its velocity from planetary fly-by’s and that’s it. It can only turn itself, it has no other thrusters.

6. Throw away your Apple devices. Fuck that walled garden.

It’s really not that expensive in comparison, especially when you count the tourism factor which is absolutely significant.

Go to London, or Copenhagen, or Stockholm, and see the Changing of the Guards. Do that on any random Tuesday - and notice the crowds of people that watch.

And, as has been said already, at least in Scandinavia the monarchs have high cultural value and are very well liked, on top of having important roles in keeping government going. They aren’t freeloaders, and there isn’t a huge upper class attached.

This Dane agrees with you.

That won’t do much good because I’m in an obscure small country.

But it won’t work on your dad’s stock Samsung Galaxy, right?

Boy what a poorly written page!

Figuratively, yes. Literally, no.

Twice I’ve had the real pleasure of this. A business had hired a headhunting firm, and I applied for that job. They did it so well thrt next time I wanted a job, I called up the guy from that headhunting firm and asked them to place me. They found a great match.

I’d be hard pressed to come up with that.

To think that we can still discover new things about this world - amazing! Gone are the days of merry explorers (hah) so good on these guys for this win!

Exactly reversed of Excel. I wonder why the did that? I can’t imagine it’s not deliberate.

I know this is a tiny detail but you know how it’s like a tiny splinter you can’t pull out - not a big problem but an ongoing bother.

Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?

Is Calc still useless compared to Excel?

Average consumers are in a lose/lose situation. Choice is a privilege that not everyone can afford.

I absolutely agree with you. But where I live, Amazon is cheaper than any other sellers, online or stores. I hate it but I only have so much money to spend.

And then for convenience, add a shopping cart so it’s not a separate research step - congrats, you’ve invented Amazon.

That’s an interesting one. A blind person can easily describe things using the words they learnt, just like we do. A cube is still a cube even when you can’t see it, because you can feel it so you can agree about its shape.

Color blindness is different. My friend is a graphical designer, and he chooses interesting and unusual color combos. He is red/green color blind; both look the same to him. (Fun aside: he is also a taxi driver.) Now, obviously red and green are components in the colors he uses, so what color does he actually see?

We cannot explain colors to each other because it is always in reference to some other color, which is also changed in his vision, and maybe not to the same degree as pure red or green. What color is an orange? We both know without looking, but his perception is different from mine. He would need to not be color blind to become able to describe to me how different he sees stuff.

The only people I know with EV cars, it’s a company car. Everyone who pays for their car, it’s a used Diesel or gasoline car.
