I’m vegetarian and mostly keep to a vegan diet.
I guess my experience has been that those things are mentioned more as novelties, as in, “hey crazy thing but instead of kale chips you can eat sour patch kids!” But that’s just my experience.
I think in a developed nation, “veganism” almost always connotes some amount of health consciousness, which can be expensive. Different, I imagine, in rice-and-lentils developing parts of the world.
AFAIK Oreos, sour patch kids, taco bell bean burritos, and McD’s French fries are vegan…but they’re not associated with “vegan culture.”
Edit: strike through fries
AFAIK in the USA you can’t have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed…).
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
What country? AFAIK in the US you can’t make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that’s different than the main battery…
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
with the ever present threat of hurricanes
That may be true for Florida, but that’s not really relevant for northern California/PNW/many, many other parts of the world…
My company did it the right way — they gave us the day off.
We really need to see info from the BIOS — exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.
As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build — i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it’s possible there’s some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.
That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.
Is that for sure what happened? IIRC there was speculation about mechanical failure (lights we not out on ship, large plume of smoke…).
Though perhaps that doesn’t really matter as far as how much it sucks for the crew.
Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.
…the department wrote alongside photos of the column. In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.
Not sure how you would prefer that be phrased? Also, if you can reasonably see the horizon aligned with its reflection, that suggests something to the reader about how it’s more or less perpendicular to the ground, rather than slanted (cone/pyramid/etc.).
I think that’s covered by, “in the photos.”
A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…
There’s an audio illusion that’s somewhat analogous to the barber pole illusion — instead of a pattern which appears to always go up or down, you can have a sound which seems to always go up or down in pitch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone
In California, the major utility provider was found guilty in relation to wildfires, and fined.
Guess what happened to electricity rates…
I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today’s standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn’t break a sweat.
Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that’s my preferred setup regardless of specs.
In before the .tar.gz/.tar.bz2 gang…
Sure, but Chevy was essentially forced by public opinion to continue making the Bolt EV, which is an affordable and well-liked little car.
But this isn’t entirely stupid. Many Americans have very limited vacation time; weekend getaways are the norm, and are optimized for. This means that for a lot of folks, skiing on a weekend (or even worse, a long weekend) means that lots of other people are doing the exact same thing.
Specifically, I’m in San Francisco, so heading up to Tahoe for a weekend/long weekend is a standard thing to do. It’s about 200 miles each way, so you’re going to need to recharge. Which wouldn’t be a problem except that everyone else is doing the exact same thing, on essentially the same schedule; this is a recipe for delays when the infrastructure is vastly inferior to the gas station network (and the charge time is obviously greater than the few minutes spent at the pump).
You might think that you could optimize for the daily trips and use rentals for getaways, but using chains on a rental car can be problematic/against TOS. Which can be a problem going up to a ski resort (AWD often ok, but not guaranteed).
I’m all for phasing out dinosaur burners, but the issue is not without nuance.
Microwaves aren’t resonant or anything fancy — they’re just dielectric heating.
