On snowy days, a play-fighting zone is outlined by cones
So, why don't they just have permanent markers installed for the zone then? Seems wasteful to set up cones every day.

Good times. We used to occasionally play tackle football or smear the queer until a teacher noticed what we were doing and told us to stop.
I
assumehope that was back in the day when that word had a different meaning. 🧐

If you wanted to play off of a different meaning, the game could, I suppose, have been called "tackle the faggot", and you'd tackle the kid who picked up the stick. It didn't have to be a stick, though, and anyway "tackle the faggot" just doesn't quite have the same je ne sais quoi.

I think this one might have legs for the lower end market.
Based on observations in my own office where we're deep into the Google and SAAS market most of the office are on Chrome books and various tablets with laptop keyboard adapters. These are management, editors, writers, and support staff. The only people with real grunt are the technical side and c level management.
Thinking about own usage the only thing that needs any real grunt is my gaming pc. Most of my usage is my phone and I have a raspberry pi for a media server and porn downloader. My surface is mostly a media player and comic reader. Something that could probably go to my phone if I invested in a Samsung vr headset.
If only screens could get more efficient I wouldn't have to charge my phone every five hours.: Hey guys, we have this great idea! Win32 was a mistake, and so we've built a new system that's far better and even works on ARM! We'd like to just use that, so if people are willing to try that on a small scale to give it time to develop, that would be really swell.
: NO! MICRO$OFT EVIL! NO NO NO! STEALING OUR MACHINES! OUR MACHINES ARE OUR OWN!
: Hey guys, what if we just made our OS ARM-only, the second platform shift in the past decade or so?

Not necessarily. Sometimes it meant the small, weak kid who's the target of all sorts of random bullying.

@Magus Actually, I'm annoyed. I don't want to move to Arm to stick with macos.

@Captain said in In other news today...:
I don't want to move to Arm to stick with macos.
I'd rather not, and it would depend on which software is available compared to x86, but it'll probably be what stops me sticking with macOS when it's the next time to upgrade.

@loopback0 Yeah, for sure. I guess in the end it's not THAT big a deal. Assuming the new architecture is at least as fast for my workload.

Thanks for proving my point

TLDR:
A USB 3.0 connection ran at 5Gb/s
But then USB 3.1 came along
5Gb/s 3.0 connections became "USB 3.1 Gen 1," with the 10Gb/s connections being "USB 3.1 Gen 2."
USB 3.2 doubles down on this confusion. 5Gb/s devices are now "USB 3.2 Gen 1." 10Gb/s devices become "USB 3.2 Gen 2." And 20Gb/s devices will be... "USB 3.2 Gen 2×2."

Good thing, then, that that was never an issue you had to deal with. For even a fraction of a second.

The situation on the sub-continent is slightly sub-optimal at the moment.
As long as each shot down a plane that was beyond its respective country's established line at the moment it was shot down, maybe it won't escalate further. I think most countries would shoot down the planes of their enemies if they were within their borders.
-
@jinpa said in In other news today...:

Well, yes, but next you have to ask why the planes were there to begin with.
-
@boomzilla And there's also the problem that one side is comparatively weaker than the other so they'll be more eager to escalate to nuclear level if threatened sufficiently.
-
Unlikely, the two have been arguing over that area for 70+ years. I don't see now as the time to start dropping nukes.

Well, sure, unlikely, but more likely when they've been actively shooting at each other. But even a conventional war would be at least a half plus of ungood.
-
They fight over this region a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_wars_and_conflicts
-
@Dragoon yes.
-
@Dragoon Each cold or hot conflict has the innate risk of escalation. In case of a hot conflict, that risk is much higher.
-
Yes, it does. But in the context of two countries who have had at least a contention standoff for 70+ years, multitudes of conflicts and several declared wars during that time. I would venture that the risk of a nuclear escalation is rather low.
Further, there is some suggestion that all of this is a political stunt for the sitting president trying to look hard on terrorism during the election season. If that really is the case, India would have no real incentive to escalate to a full on conventional war and risk that escalating even further into a nuclear one.
