That’s archetypal passive voice since it doesn’t change the target of the verb and uses state-of-being plus past participle.

“ICE kills Canadian citizen” switches this around.

Big parmesan cheese fan by chance?

The mechanical dials bit makes me jealous. I have a fancy new one that has a drawer mechanism and is built in under the counter.

It has settings to disable the chime, the 30 second “omg your food is still in the microwave” reminder, and even all sounds.

But doing anything that isn’t just pushing a couple numbers and start is hopeless. Defrost or “melt”? Enter the food code (???) then the weight (just guess randomly at the units and start over if you’re wrong). I just run at 30% power to defrost the occasional thing now.

Documents show that the energy and water projected to be consumed by the data center campus are staggering. If built to full capacity, the Bessemer data center campus could consume around 10.5 million megawatt hours of energy per year, based on estimates provided to residents by representatives of the data center development.

That’s more than 90 times the amount of energy used by all residences in Bessemer annually, according to figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

That’s half the annual generation of the largest power plant in the US.

A recent regulatory filing by county officials estimated that water usage by the facility could amount to 2 billion gallons per day. That’s more than five times the entire state’s daily residential usage, according to government figures.

The entire US uses 18 billion gallons of water per day from direct draws (not drinking water connections).

I have to admit this can be only horseshit. I don’t want to be an apologist.

Here another slightly older figure: That’s the entire daily fresh groundwater use of the entire US.

Yeah, also a dev here. I’d be so happy if they’d parted ways with the 90s legacy bits at some point. Just glad there are enough parsing libraries that I’ll never need to care (right? Please tell me I’m right!).

This is probably my first time ever using it for an appropriate purpose as this team’s technical docs are destined for the press (and digital distribution). They just have no idea how to software, so I was brought in to build bridges between and ultimately simplify all their tools.

https://pdf2docx.readthedocs.io/ seems to fit the bill. I can’t vouch for it.

PDF is such a curse. I say this as a person currently tasked with deploying new mysteriously complex enterprise PDF conversion software for technical documents. The rabbit hole is so deep.

Oh hey, I’ve seen this one before.

I’ll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.

Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he’s a government agent, but he’s the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.

Edit: and I forgot to mention it’s in French.

Besides drip, Euki (github) is another option on both the play store and iOS.

Note that both of these options are maintained by tiny teams with limited resources.

Agreed. I realized at some point that if I said I supported choice, it must never be my choice.

Abortion should be a decision between the person seeking the abortion and their doctor/care provider.

That’s it. No hedging about rape or incest, number of weeks, the reason one is being sought, or the manner of the procedure.

I support access to abortion.

They can depreciate these assets over their useful life, because unlike your soggy flesh sack, these are capital expenses, not operating expenses.

… For now. I’m sure there are libertarians that think you should be able to sell yourself as the depreciable asset you are.

Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).

There’s a --list-boots option if you’ve rebooted a couple times since but aren’t entirely sure.

I’m sad I won’t be going, but happy the demand is there!

Also here from the Voyager app. Both work for me.

it’s the kind of joke that further diminishes my already mutilated will to live

So it’s perfect.
