Go outside and listen when the snow is falling. It makes everything quieter and it's really ice to hear.

Somehow that typo works in this context. Ice.

Snow that's warmed slightly then frozen again is crunchy and fun to walk on.

It's "ice" to walk on.

Jokes aside, thank you so much for the information. I don't live where it snows but I learned a lit about how to survive if I ever need to. Thanks again.

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

The legend of the green children of Woolpit concerns two children of unusual skin colour who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, sometime in the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen (r. 1135–1154). The children, found to be brother and sister, were of generally normal appearance except for the green colour of their skin. They spoke in an unknown language and would eat only raw broad beans

 

The socialist fraternal kiss was a special form of greeting between socialist state leaders. The act demonstrated the special connection that exists between Communist countries, consisting of an embrace, along with a series of three kisses on alternate cheeks. In rare cases, when the two leaders considered themselves exceptionally close, the kisses were given on the mouth rather than on the cheeks.

Here is a photo of a Soviet and an American soldier sharing a 'socialist fraternal kiss', Germany, 1945:

Imagine all the data they're able to harvest through GV. I doubt they'll ever kill it.

I doubt they record and retain all phone calls, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

What is disaster tourism?

"Disaster tourism is the practice of visiting locations at which an environmental disaster, either natural or human-made, has occurred. Although a variety of disasters are the subject of subsequent disaster tourism, the most common disaster tourist sites are areas surrounding volcanic eruptions."

Google Voice is much easier. Just enable the settings for voicemail transcription and an email sent with the transcription.

But then you have Google listening to all your calls. It's a tradeoff

To be fair the ‘dystopian’ quote is from the guy that got broken up with, not ARS’ article writer.

I don't think that's the part they took issue with.

"It's also possible he's a straight pedo and just making an effort to walk the line. If that's the case, I can respect the effort, but still think he's just actually tasteless."

Yikes!

Starting Thursday, Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky deleted its anti-malware software from customers' computers across the United States and automatically replaced it with UltraAV's antivirus solution.

This comes after Kaspersky decided to shut down its U.S. operations and lay off U.S.-based employees in response to the U.S. government adding Kaspersky to the Entity List, a catalog of "foreign individuals, companies, and organizations deemed a national security concern" in June.

On June 20, the Biden administration also announced a ban on sales and software updates for Kaspersky antivirus software in the United States starting September 29, 2024, over potential national security risks.

 

Modern AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, and it looks like they will get even more power-hungry in the coming years as companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI strive towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). Oracle has already outlined plans to use nuclear power plants for its 1-gigawatt datacenters. It looks like Microsoft plans to do the same as it just inked a deal to restart a nuclear power plant to feed its data centers, reports Bloomberg.
