Overnight guests are typically banned, but I've never seen an Airbnb listing that says you can't have someone over for a cup of tea.


And how would they know? Oh right, hidden cameras. Nothing about airbnb is attractive to me any more.


That would be very illegal in many places.


For what it's worth, they're also prohibited by Airbnb's terms of service: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/3061


Camera's don't have to be hidden to prevent guests. It is allowed and becoming very common to have cameras at entrances and becoming common to restrict guests during the day as well as overnight.


and yet it happens


Filming what happens next has often been proposed as a great revenue driver.


Where are you going to find a counterweight in space? Launching two Starships is much easier than trying to capture an asteroid or something.


Bring it with you and deploy it. It doesn't need to have the same mass as a Starship, just a significant fraction would do.


A friend of a friend worked at NASA on essentially this, except that instead of fitting Japanese candy in a box, they were fitting cargo into the Space Shuttle. As you can imagine this introduces a whole slew of new complications, notably mass distribution and that things must be unloaded in a certain order.

I think you just exposed someone's alt account.


Oh I thought it was maybe a bot


Also plausible. When something gets reposted, repost previous popular comments. Farming technique popular on reddit.


Maybe they have the same friend of a friend


That book dates back to 2003, only a few years after the Tajik civil war ended.


What, no Simutrans?

Don't be put off by the, uhh, legacy graphics and quirky UI, like Dwarf Fortress it has the the depth of decades of development (and the learning curve isn't quite as murderous).


No, he knocked out the two routers serving the entire country. NK sites were inaccessible to the outside world, and outside sites were inaccessible to NK.


But very very few North Koreans even have access to the internet. Regular people just have access to a local intranet with censored information.

That exercise that Russia did a few years ago to see if they could function cut off from the internet? For north Korea that's the regular self-imposed status quo. I don't think it will have had much impact on daily life there.


But it would have had a big impact on the lives of the elites in the country, which are the people you want to hurt to put pressure on the regime.


Only the lines in/out. NK has their own intranet which is completely separate from the global internet, which was presumably entirely unaffected by this.

So not really much effect on the system then, overall


> North Koreans often find it more convenient to access sites by their IP address rather than by domain name using Latin characters

Don't blame them. Enom fee's are extortionate. And when DNS breaks it still works.


I suspect that's for regular olive-sized capers with the stem attached? The article is about peppercorn-sized baby capers, where you could fit thousands into a jar that big.


No. These capers are the size of black peppercorns, though I never count them, it’s a very large number of them, though they have not been in stock since the end of the quarantines during pandemic.


The caper jars in question are too small for a normal teaspoon to fit into.

Me, I use a tiny little dessert fork. Also means you get only the capers and not the juice, which you don't want anyway.


life hack : use the other end of the spoon (or any other utensil, ideally one that has a slightly concave handle).
