911 center: Okay, what is the phone number of the phone you are testing (so we know which inbound call to disregard)?

Your argument stems primarily from that point.

The purpose of contacting them is not to identify what phone number will be making the call. The purpose of contacting them is to ensure they are not currently in the middle of a mass casualty incident that you don’t know about.

They don’t care what number you will be making the call from. They care that they have the time and resources available to take it. If your test call is successful, you will tell them that it was a test call.

As for your argument about not having a phone to make the initial call, it’s 2026, not 1926. You have a phone, it’s in your hands right now, and you’re using it to read this.

They don’t buy enough yachts and private jets and other manufactured property that would put a worker to work to produce it.

I would argue that “Real Estate” and “Politicians” are de facto “stocks”.

The upper class doesn’t buy anything but stocks.

We avoid the detour through electrically powered electrolysis, producing chemical energy from sunlight and water,” said photreon co-founder Paul Kant.

We specifically need electrolysis.

The major problem coming over the horizon is seasonal variation in solar generation. While we can effectively utilize grid scale storage to meet overnight demand with solar, that method is not feasible for seasonal variation.

Winter solar production is (typically) limited to about 9 hours/day of low-angle sunshine. Summer solar production provides about 15 hours a day of high-angle sunshine.

If we build out enough solar to barely meet our demand in winter, we have more than three times as much production than we need to meet summer demand. That surplus is already crashing electric prices in the middle of summer. We are already seeing occasional periods of negative wholesale electric rates. These surpluses are going to cap solar build out long before it is capable of meeting our needs.

To keep we desperately need a large scale, power-intensive industry that can operate during daylight hours for 9 months out of the year. Hydrogen electrolysis is one of the most likely industries to fill this role.

Ah. A fellow KSP player.

Where will you be using this upload?

If you’re doing it to make it accessible on your own devices from anywhere, try Syncthing on the various devices instead. If the devices are on the same LAN from time to time, your modem won’t be a bottleneck.

If you still have the sources from which you originally acquired the books, you could use a VPS to re-acquire them, and then push them to the google drive directly from the VPS. They never pass through your modem; your modem can’t be the bottleneck.

This bill makes the operating system provider the responsible party. They have to implement this, and ensure compliance. Failure is a $2000 fine every time a child launches an application.

Under this law, Microsoft and Google are charged with implementing this feature and ensuring compliance. They are, obviously, “OS Providers”. They control their respective operating systems.

With FOSS OSes, Ubuntu isn’t the OS provider. Arch isn’t the OS provider. Debian, Redhat, Gentoo aren’t the OS Providers. The product each of these entities provide is an OS, but it is an OS that is under your full and total control. Not theirs. They cannot control what you do with the OS. They cannot ensure your implementation is compliant with state, local, national, or international law. Under this law they are not the responsible party.

Under this law. You are the “OS Provider”.

You evidently have displayport, so the solution seems pretty straightforward. Pull hard disks, install windows on a blank SSD. Send series of nastygrams to MSI.

Blackberry insisted on a 3-row thumboard on the face of the device. I want a 5-row slider, like Samsung’s Relay.

Check permissions on your home folder. Make sure everything is owned by your new username.

I had a separate partition mounted on /home on my old system. I remounted the same partition at /home on the new system, and got the same bootloop issue. The problem was that the old permissions were for 1001:1001, not (newuser):(newuser). Had to log into a TTY and chown (newuser):(newuser) -R /home/(newuser) to get everything working.

The last data I have is from 2017, and claimed 92 reactors on 81 ships. I believe that is 70 submarines with a single reactor each, and 11 carriers with two each.

I’ve found Jami from another comment a few hours ago, but I haven’t downloaded it yet. But I think it expects an existing internet/network connection, where Briar seems to be focused on getting messages across through any means available.

I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard of “Jami” that is supposed to operate in a similar fashion.

AFAIK, yes. Latest release is from March of this year, and they have commits as of a month ago.

Are you familiar with Briar?

Works over internet, TOR, local wifi, bluetooth, even “sneakernet”.

Open source with profanity in comments is statistically better than code without it

Generally speaking, anyone can correlate the two.

I mean, when a piefed user and a piefed shadow account participate and vote in the same thread, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to conclude they might be the same person. Look through a handful of the user’s comment threads, look for piefed users voting in the preceding comments for confirmation.

Unless the user only votes in threads they do not participate in, and only participates in threads they do not vote in, correlating the two accounts is trivial.

Dick cancer is better than almost all the existing ones.
