In my village there is a donation place drop stuff they don’t need anymore and take what they need. Half of our kid clothing, it’s great ! A lot of my kids clothing come from there, and go back there once they outgrew it.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.

Imagine the smell when the firefighters arrived!

Unless you have a debit card from a third world country bank and half of the time for online payment the authorization fail.

I’ve been in this situation several times and then though I don’t like it Paypal has often been the only payment option available to me.

Just like the Inuit snow goggles

Fairphone with normal Android is just like any other android phone. The only difference for a normy would be the transparent back that you can pop open.

This is what my ISP provided, a microtik router with openwrt flashed on it

The game is a piece of art and the soundtrack plays a big part of it.

There is an arbitrary minimum age requirement (35 years old) so it would be coherent to have a maximum as well.

GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of “Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance”.

US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.

I’m having a thought now.

Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?

They are going to put a tariff on flesh eating flies imported from Mexico instead

This is probably why cold water taste so good. It’s natural selection.

There is so many diseases carried in water so there is no doubt that people doing extra effort to get that nice crispy water from the spring will survive longer that people getting warm water from the nearest water body.

By installing drivers do you mean: search the manufacturers website online, navigate through all the scam website to try to find the legit one, dig through the website to find your hardware, download a random executable file, execute it, select next next next, no I don’t want to install mcafee, next, install.

There is a plan, Trump is an idiot but a very useful idiot. If not him it would have been someone else.

About project 2025:

The plan, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, says that the weather service should “fully commercialize its forecasting operations” and focus on providing data to private companies.

It also calls for a “review” of the work of the National Hurricane Center. It acknowledges that the center provides important public safety information, but also says its data should be presented “neutrally” rather than in a way that makes points about climate change.

Edit: here is the source of the quote, an article from September 2024 https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4907338-heritage-foundation-plan-weather-service/

Not a YouTube channel unfortunately but there are several videos and documentaries about it.

The castle of Guedelon is exactly what you are describing.

In France a group of archeologists decided to build a full castle, from scratch pretending to be in the XIIth century.

A blacksmith is making the tools, they are chopping trees in the first forest around, extracting stones from a local carry, carrying on carts built by the Carpenter, making their own clothes …

It’s amazing !

Edit: here is an aerial picture of the castle in 2025

They are getting better at blowing rockets. The goal is a 24h turnaround, blow one rocket, bring a new one and blow it again in less than 24h

I think it would be easier to list the French cheeses that are NOT named after a place.
