The HPs before that were solid. We had an HP 5P that would not quit. The toner cartridge was pricy, but it did last, so it was more of something to plan for than a constant cost. And you could shake it around a lot and get a few thousand more pages before it got bad, so it gave a fair warning.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How did old-money people of color maintain their wealth through racist times?
4·4 days agoTulsa and Wilmington are two examples of reactions to black people starting to build themselves up, as per the American Dream.
And as an NC grade school student, do you think Wilmington was mentioned at all in any history class? But we learned all the governor names…
I read the last line that wrapped as “no internet connected” and thought, that’s hard core, man.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know?
11·7 days agoSImple solution is to just go into the turn slow. This gives a hint to the car behind you that you might be doing something beyond a left turn, and reaction time for any traffic that you may have to yield for (whether or not they legally have the right-of-way). Once you start turning more it ought to be obvious.
Of course lots of accidents are from obvious situations that could have been avoided, but not doing a legal U-turn isn’t going to fix stupid people.

This is, unfortunately, part of nostalgia itself. There’s a rare gem that is as good as you remember, but for the most part, your brain lies to you.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t revisit things, just prepare your expectations.
Narrator: The fire detector in fact did not work.
There’s more than one kind of backup in life, check them all.
I’ve been in some craft shops before that sold all sorts of crystals and other knick-knacks, and while I would never believe they have some magical power, there were some pretty cool things. The prices though… not that they were overpriced really, just that I couldn’t afford them. :D
I got a meteorite for last Christmas that I keep on my desk. Technically it’s just a little lump of pitted metal, one of hundreds of thousands sold. But it’s neat to look at and think about sometimes.
Not fully. But I’m not saying gravitational theory doesn’t qualify as a theory, I’m just saying we understand evolution very well.
I’ll call. We understand much of how evolution works. Do we really understand how gravity actually works at the core level? There are a few theories, but that’s just it; we’re not sure, and have different models to try and explain what’s going on. Not one.
It’s a miswording. I meant the act of being falsifiable. Testable. If we found something that went totally against the core of the theory and was shown to be factual, we’d have to reconsider what was wrong. But the only debate within evolution are the details, not the main concept, which still hasn’t found bunny fossils older than dinosaurs (to use a common example).
Not a believer, but I recently learned that a correct reading of the original Hebrew doesn’t say he created everything. He created the waters and the earth from the void that was already there.
Back to the sign. Dude is making the claim; he has to support it. Evolution is the most proven theory we have, it has been tested over and over. He’d first have to understand the basics of evolutionary theory, which I guarantee he doesn’t know; he wouldn’t be there if he did.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When I die maybe they will also stuff me and put me in a museum
71·15 days agoNope, not that one. A better one.
C-64 users represent! I had a friend whose parents could afford to buy an Apple for him. He was jealous of my Commodore. :D
Far worse, and this applies to more than programming. If something is broken, I want it to be consistent. Don’t fix yourself, or sort of work but have a different effect. Break, and give me something to figure out, damn it.
I feel called out. I’m not sure which way I’d go.
What about strictly TTS models, which would probably be lumped under ANI (artificial narrow intelligence), which has been around a long time? There’s cloud based ones, but also some good local ones. Throwing out the content just because of how the voice is made is one level from doing that because a person sounds funny, ot looks a certain way. Which is fitting, since that’s probably why some of them use TTS, to avoid comments that attack them personally.

7·19 days agoThe alternate ending is the real ending.
Just one layer removed from the problem.
“WTF does this comment even mean?”



Could be. The artifacts suggest some age though. If Google image search worked like it used to, I’d try to find evidence. Thanks, Google. Stop breaking things that work.
