“Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living,” he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”
Interesting that the first thing he suggests is related to literacy. Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t think writing is important.
Thanks, will have to test that out too.
No, didn’t try that as I had several other applications as well that also won’t run under WINE on Linux, so went with Windows VMs instead. But I’ll have to give that a try when I have time.
The only solution I have found for this (I have a digital microscope with Windows-only drivers) was to use a VM. In my case VirtualBox + Windows 10 worked. That’s a lot of overhead for what you want to do, though.
Sigh. Misleading headline - the suspected radiotrophic ability seems to already exist in the species (which was identified in the late 19th Century; it’s not new, despite the article claiming it’s a “strange black fungus”) and several others, based on research with non-Chernobyl collections:
I’m sure these idiots have no concept of the future. They want to burn everyone out in months to years for the sake of boosting their profits in the here and now. Doesn’t matter that if you treat your workers well (and pay them well) you often get greater productivity over a longer period.
I think you’re right. It will be those with financial resources that can enter the profession, which basically means that there will be even fewer nurses and the cost of healthcare will increase even further. It will be only available to the 1%.
Not remotely surprised that this is the case, but am not holding my breath that it will make MAGA followers any more likely to reassess their worldview.
If only it were so easy…
There’s something to be said for consistency!
What’s a little scope creep between friends?
Well, if we’re saving DB space, why not just use the generate_series function (assuming you’re running PostgreSQL…)?
That’s my point. I feel like they have been sitting on this for a while and didn’t release it ages ago because it would be one more thing to reduce the odds of people shifting from 10 to 11.
Right, so they wait until just after Windows 10 reaches EOL to release the patch for this annoying bug. Typical. They’ve probably had the solution ready for ages.
Somebody used the wrong data type for the Hour column…
Fantastic. Let’s add radioactive fallout to the list of things Trump and co are trying to kill everyone with.
That’s quite possible, unfortunately…
I have several use cases, a big one being that it gives me an alternate storage medium for backing up home photos and videos. Obviously there’s caveats on how long BD-Rs last (although M-discs should outlast me) and the issue of needing a player in future, but it gives me more peace of mind knowing that I can backup these sorts of things to different storage types (external hard drives are all well and good until they’re corrupted by power issues or user error, or you want to keep a copy at a relative’s place and it’s a multi-hour trip… with optical media you can just keep adding discs to the offsite backup as needed and update the external HDD less frequently).
The other major use case I have has already been mentioned - backing up Blurays that I’ve bought (or, in the case of a few shows I like, being able to compare the DVD vs Bluray frame by frame).
Interesting to see that demand for optical drives is increasing, although apparently it’s only in Japan: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/optical-drive-demand-surges-amid-windows-10-retirement-japanese-users-switching-to-windows-11-are-buying-up-blu-ray-drives
Still, hopefully that means Bluray writers stay on the market for a bit longer.
We question our politicians (here in Australia) often enough on this sort of thing in election years that some (not all) actually pay enough attention to cost-of-living stuff to be in the right ballpark.
