The Thai and Korean “spicy” levels are NOT standardized in any way whatsoever.

And you must learn this on your own.

The recovery backup…

Yes. By necessity. The grid has to be kept in sync within a fairly small frequency range to operate. Every generator that is grid connected, is spinning at the same frequency. It is a small enough window that you can use it as a reliable clock.

Every time the power load changes they have to compensate with increasing or decreasing the power available to balance within the small frequency window. A deviation as small as 0.5 Hz can cause some protective relays to trip and bring down sections of the grid.

This is also one of the major reasons why it takes so long to bring the grid back online after a blackout. They have to balance power output with the load in each section as it is brought online so it doesn’t just disconnect itself again immediately from an imbalance.

One of the many Easter Eggs in the Series. Just like ET’s species being in the galactic Senate.

Meh, just a hard floppy. Although I really did appreciate my Zip 100 drive for that storage space before writable CDs came along.

One could make the same argument about creating a more complicated solution when a simple one solves it for 99% of users. Especially when the remaining 1% will know the difference based on what they’re doing, regardless of the icon used.

There’s a good reason that these two icons are currently different.

Not really, it’s just legacy, the same reason the save icon is still a floppy disk in most programs. That’s what it’s always been.

You may make the distinction between saving a document and downloading a document, but most people don’t pay anywhere near that amount of attention, and don’t care about specifics.

Can’t skip a generation, gotta go from the floppy disk icon to the HDD icon for a while first.

Why does it need to be separate? The end result is the same, the file on your device. Where it is coming from makes no difference.

99% of users won’t care at all.

It’s infinitely more accurate than a floppy disk icon.

For 99% of users, the specifics make no difference at all.

It’s closer to reality than a floppy disk icon, that’s for sure.

I’ve always had mixed luck with Bluetooth file sharing on Windows. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it just doesn’t seem to work at all. Even with the same exact devices.

Microsoft has Phone Link for both iOS and Android

Google has Quick Share for Android.

Britain also has a fairly unique relation to the area, having massive influence on the original defined borders, resulting in nearly constantly contested borders. In classic British Empire fashion, ignored realities of the region like local ethnic and religious politics, nomadic tribe lifestyles, etc.

Most likely that decision was made because it was a Hanukah event.

I mean, it was a Jewish festival. It might not be specific to the Palestinian/Gaza genocide… But it’s definitely related.

“It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said of the shooting attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
Albanese continues: "The ideology that has been around for more than a decade that led to this ideology of hate, and in this case, a preparedness to engage in mass murder.

folk who can’t tell the difference between a Jew and a Zionist Israeli.

That’s the design. The Israeli government has been trying to blur the line between the two since the Gaza genocide began. They don’t want the average person to be able to make the distinction between the teo. The zionists want to hide behind general “anti-Semitism” phrasing.

The real world result is that because the distinction is hard to make, every Jew is now a target. And they’ll point to that to justify the general anti-Semitism claim as well. Creating a loop that enforces their own artificially created narrative.

Don’t know why. Even his wife stopped giving a fuck a couple weeks after.

It’s a start but doesn’t fully address the problem.

Eh, I’d say it addresses everything that matters.

The root of the problem was that deleting the account was an exploit to avoid limit admin research and further actions, and federation of content removal. That’s the only reason they were bothering to do it. The fix allows admins to research properly, and for federation of removal actions.

It doesn’t solve the root of the issue with bad actors, but that’s a much larger issue well beyond the scope of a couple bug fixes.

People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.

I’d say even prideful, you know one of the 7 deadly sins, often considered the worst of them and even the root/source of the other 6. The sheer hubris needed to believe you have a personal connection that others don’t is ridiculous.

Same, my commute is about a half hour, with 2 main routes I could take that are about the same time. Just knowing if one of those is screwed up can be the difference between an okay drive in and hell.
