Saturn can have a little chicken cutlet, as a treat.

Wasn't that assumption part of why the i9 MacBooks a few generations back had massive heating issues?

The fans and heatsinks weren't enough to cool the i9, even though they were fine with the i7, so performance would quickly go into the floor when they started throttling.

I don't know if it would, necessarily. So many alternatives are chrome-based, and part of the reason google was able to accrue that share to begin with was by putting a "get chrome now" in the corner of every search you did.

Most alternatives don't have that same kind of advertising reach to displace chrome, especially not for casual users.

They also don't want to be caught unprepared if it turned out that microgravity messed with menstruation, and made it worse than it would be on earth.

Maybe it's like one of those servo pies, where it's heated inside of the plastic, and you buy it wrapper and all?

At the very least, he was seen as the face of the Wolf 359 massacre, and wasn't seen in a good light because of it. A lot of Starfleet outright hate him, and we saw concerns being floated that he was compromised by the Borg now, and might betray Starfleet for them, hence his being kept out of the battle in First Contact.

It might make sense for industrial applications, where they can use it to tell if something has gone off before shipping it out, or having someone sniff all the food.

The experience does help when it's ambiguous, since you can tell that it shouldn't be like that before it gets to a point where you retch.

Plus it also helps you tell when your sense of smell is throwing a false positive. For me personally, I'd be more likely to lean on my cooking experience, since my hardwiring would automatically file all raw meat, including fresh from the butcher, as being off.

You basically see it with some sites now, where you're just told "use chrome if you have any issues", and then it reflects badly on firefox, because a casual user might just think it's the fault of the browser that it's poorly made and doesn't work properly.

For the websites, it's not worth writing around browser-specific quirks, when the vast majority use a chrome-based browser.

None. NASA can probably afford to contract one of the many super-geniuses for their engineering services to get a launch vehicle out in no time flat. Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp are engineering powerhouses, it wouldn't be surprising if they already had some prototypes done up already.

Are people deleting because of karma?

At least from my time on Reddit, when people deleted something, it's because they didn't want the post to come back and bite them a while because of others seeing it after the fact, or they just regularly scrubbed the account for privacy reasons, rather than anything to do with actual karma.

The predominant attitude in software development for a while also took user hardware for granted.

You didn't need to optimise for memory and CPU usage, because computers are so powerful now, and memory was plentiful that it wasn't anything you needed to concern yourself with, except in the extreme case.

Whereas in 1993, you were much more constrained, so had to squeeze things in to make it run well, or at all.

 

Why is there a mother-daughter thing in the first place?

 

Voyager takes after the Apollo app in this regard, where if the app is closed while text is being edited, it'll bring back the unsaved draft, but it'll pop that into the next reply window you open, even if it is a different thread entirely.

Being able to reopen the same thread and resume editing would make it much easier if you're switching to another app to look up a reference or a link, and Voyager gets destroyed by the OS. It'd also help refresh your context if you can't remember what it was you were writing and why.

 

While kbin.social's site mentioned that they were migrating to a new provider, and as a result, the site might be experiencing some issues, kbin.social has been serving up a similar HTTP 50x errors, and that migration message for well over a month, if not more.

What happened?

 

While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it's on the menu, what about other kinds?

Can you just go "I'd like a men/women's haircut" and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

 

What caused the shift from calling things like rheostats and condensers to resistors and capacitors, or the move from cycles to Hertz?

It seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, seeing as the previous terms seemed fine, and are in use for some things today (like rheostat brakes, or condenser microphones).

 

You often see people in fitness mention going through a cut/bulk cycle, or mention one, with plans to follow up with the other. Why is it that cutting and bulking so often happen in cycles, rather than said person just doing both at once, until they hit their desired weight?
