Are you sure you didn’t accidentally pick up HYPER-allergenic pillows?

The fallacy fallacy

Just because an argument contains a logical fallacy doesn’t mean the argument is necessarily incorrect.

An example:

Person A: This food is better for you because it’s all natural

Person B: appeal to nature, therefore you’re wrong and it’s not better for you

The food may well be much better for you but person B has assumed that the opposite is true because person A has used a logical fallacy and has themselves fallen into a logical fallacy.

I just click one square thats wrong then unclick it. Seems to work almost every time!

Slight tangent, but if you want to pass the “click on all the images with traffic lights” first time, select one that’s obviously wrong then go back and “change your mind” computers don’t do that and 9/10 times it’ll pass you first time!

D-lock through the drive wheel and frame, steel cable though the d-lock and front wheel, steel wire though a closed metal ring/railing. I’ve used this technique for yonks and never had so much as a wheel stolen.

You don’t need ultramax security unless you’re locking it up outside at night. Deterrence is plenty good enough to stop people from snipping and running.

Negotiable…

I’ve always liked “universal soldier” by Donovan

When I was in secondary school, I basically did exactly that with a random flash drive I found in the park. I’m blaming my school for never giving us that network security talk lol. Fortunately nothing came of it and it was a pretty boring flash drive but still. Would never ever do that now.

Many containers will just sink along with the boat, either because of tie downs or they’re just too dense to float.

Others however can and will float, generally very low in the water which can cause pretty major hazards to navigation. For this reason, many containers will be fitted with salt plugs that will eventually dissolve and allow water to fill the container which will usually be enough to sink it.

However, if the container was sufficiently full of buoyant material, or the salt plug fails, they can float around for a very long time. Sometimes these containers will be salvaged, left to float, or sometimes militarys will use them as target practice with the stated aim of trying to sink them.

As for Lifeboats, generally you want an empty lifeboat to go down with the ship as a bunch of empty lifeboats floating around could draw resources away from the ones with people in them. Plus, most survival craft are pretty securely tied down so that they don’t accidentally release during normal passage or storms.

Most ships are still fitted with self-release life rafts which are fitted with hydrostatic lines that, if the boat was to sink, the raft would be able to break free, inflate, and rocket to the surface if the ship sinks below a certain depth. These are very common on pleasure craft where the boat can sink quickly and may sink before the crew has a change to prepare the raft.

They found it cracked open in a cave didn’t they?

They say there’s no such thing as a stupid question. However…

You should try a bunch and see what you really like! The beauty of Linux is there’s so much out there that you’ll almost definitely find one that gels with you.

A good place to start is Linux mint! The best way I can describe it is a blend of all the best parts of windows 7, 10 and 11 with very few of the downsides. You’ll almost definitely settle in quickly and you might never want to switch as it’s very full featured, snappy and well put together. It was designed for people wanting that Linux experience while still feeling familiar to windows users.

Another one to try if you love customisability is ZorinOS. There’s a free and paid tier, both of which are excellent with the free tier offering layouts for old and new windows and Mac like experience and the paid tier (only around £30 for a lifetime licence) has layouts and customisability for absolutely everything else and extra tools and options for those that want more of that!

They shouldn’t bother. I highly doubt they’ll ever be able to put quality software on their cars.

Idk, that flight didn’t seem so eternal to me.

It’s still very much alive! Still getting regular updates on my S10 and even security updates for my OnePlus 3t.

It means they’re either holding out of a sudden breakthrough that will let them become carbon neutral overnight for free or they’re hoping no one will be around to call them out on their bullshit by then

Slang for idiot

For when you need to kill a whole company standing in a line

Not likely in the near future, probably not feasible in the long term either. It’s not just about recognising an object. You could write a program that recognises a screw but you’d need far more complicated sensors and algorithms to identify the dimensions, specific characteristics, material composition, design specifications, etc, then apply that to every screw, bolt, washer, small component and assembly, tubes, threaded rods, tyres, pistons, brake pads, resistors, capacitors, diodes, seals, consumables, etc.

For a long time, I think that kind of thing would be wildly inaccurate, hugely expensive, massively complicated, and much less efficient than asking a human to kindly go over there and check all those things manually.
