I was under the impression that DDG is pretty private and while underlying search is Bing, bing can't track the searches to individuals

"Boarding starts 4 hours before the flight because we have to load so many damned passengers and luggage"

Mine was the T-Mobile G1. Slide out keyboard and track ball. I remember being underwhelmed by Android at the time so I switched to the Nokia N900 for a while which comparitively was more mature than android and iOS at the time.

Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.

Unfortunately the damage has been on the animals. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

Funny that the very long vox article doesn't mention the wired investigation

4 seconds? Usually launch windows are in hours and days right? Unless you have barely any fuel margin and you're trying to hit a very very specific orbit I can't imagine 4 seconds being a huge issue. But I'm no orbital dynamicist

Hey man, NASA, a government agency has done a ton of cool stuff recently. Rovers and a helicopter on Mars, JWST, asteroid sample return, fostering the commercialization of flights to the ISS have dramatically reduced the cost of getting our astronauts to orbit. We do space exploration pretty darn well.

I love travelling and do it now, but would love to do longer stays in places when I'm retired. A few months in Bali, a few months in Thailand, just explore and enjoy. I also want to learn how to fly, I'm hoping to take some lessons and get started but it's expensive and time consuming. Maybe when I'm retired I'll have enough saved up

Yeah for sure, using proper test gear is necessary. But sometimes I'm just trying to do something quick and dirty and injecting tone from my phone is good enough. I also do some audio gear restoration at home and it helps there. Did a big work over of an old Teac reel to reel deck and being able to inject tone was so handy (without stealing gear from work)
