I think Google Earth might be more wrong than the illustration. One of the two Towers of Bologna is 97m. On GE it looks less than that. 97m is more than 33 stories.

Why do people attempt to use "stories" as a measurement of height? There is no universal agreement for what a "story" is. 97 meters is in fact 97 meters.

Because it's evocative, it's easier to imagine what it looks like.

I think the universal agreement is actually to measure things in football fields

Now if we could only agree if we should use soccer or handegg field sizes.

> if you've got this guy to do it for you then you're good I guess.

as long as he'll also provide the bimonthly necessary tech support with a fast response time.

which is why LOS is exactly not for non-tech savvy folks. he probably proselytized his priorities until his family members couldn't hear it anymore and just surrendered. i hope he has a lot of time because exactly the points you mentioned plus all his "advantages" will come back to haunt him.

having said that i love anything anti-google but i'd be careful to advertise it to others.

My Dad likes his non-Google phone very much! He never had a smartphone in the first place so doesn't use any apps, social media, internet banking, etc. But does like having an easy to use on-screen keyboard. If a "dumbphone" existed with a large touch screen instead of the little 1" screen with a numpad, that would be great.

this and also some people study simply out of curiosity about something.

2-3-7-43-1807 · 2024-05-02T14:40:36

the question is where do you start to count. how about number 1 is one of those covered up incidents where dozens of people died instead of making sure it doesn't happen again?

certainly not out of reach for a determined and powerful adversary. infecting someone with a respiratory virus isn't exactly rocket science. just spraying a subperceptibly thin aerosol into someone's face should do it.

Or putting black mold in the air ducts in their home. Easy to pass off as just poor home maintenance.

You’re putting yourself at a massive risk though. This is an airborne bacteria, the “assassin” is probably going to get infected too.

both is very easy to achieve and also kind of medically obvious

2-3-7-43-1807 · 2024-05-02T11:55:15

then again this is why i would kill someone in a way that looks like covid if i would be such inclined. also i don't know anybody who ever died of covid, not even indirectly. so, yeah ...

"This blog featured no updates since 1.4’s release, as the activity around the project slowed down until my comeback, and other contributors of the project were not inspired to write. We want to avoid such a hiatus happening again."

Seems like they sorted out the infighting.

I very much enjoy the game on Linux Mint 21.3 with a fake Super Nintendo controller via Bluetooth.

Here you can support the project financially: https://supertuxkart.itch.io/supertuxkart

Any other games you'd like to recommend for Linux?

the catalyst of success for new technology is always porn.

personally i can't really see how 3d will enhance the fun of it. there are some obvious applications - i mean, literally just filming stereoscopically. but that just doesn't really seem to add anything exciting beyond the perceived novelty.

then again i never really watched porn in 3d actually.

bamboozled · 2024-04-27T09:11:39

Did you enjoy porn on a commodore 64? Because you didn't and we still have computers.
