Yeah. I have no evidence that this system invented those shortcuts, they may predate it by quite a bit

When we allow aparthied states to comnit genocidal acts without protest, we signal that other countries should not interfere should our own state turn to aparthied and genocide.

Its either ok for no one or its ok for everyone

In the Speedwriting shorthand system, developed in 1924 for use with typewriter, / Is used to denote omitted sylables, so ‘with’ becomes w/ and ‘without’ becomes w/o. Here is a pretty deep guide on the precepts of Speedwriting:

As far as I knew, everybody hated him. He was already a self aggrandizing corrupt piece of shit. He was basically the Democrat even saten island could vote for.

Its been the standard in Europe also. This has been changing, but only recently.

Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.

The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.

As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.

This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.

Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.

Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick

French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history

The ‘ticking’ is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to ‘ticking quartz watches’, a non-ticking quartz watch

Its the ‘ticking’ part of ticking quartz

The entire exeption, and the broader exclusionary rule, is based around the self-evidently incorrect assumption that what happens in court will effect behaviour of investigators.

I generally use ‘USican’, pronounced yoo-ess-ican. Every seemseto understand me.

Yeah! Its a package manager, with its own repos. It needs its own becauseof all those guarentees above. Its designed to be installed on any linux distro, and also has windows, mac, and docker versions.

If you want it to be all nix all the time, thereis also a distro NixOS thats uses nix from front to back.

And, in a confusing failure of naming, the language you use to configure nix is also called nix, just to be cool.

Ok, heres my run down:

Nix is a package manager with the goal of making it so that when you install a package at a version, you always get the same thing.

But isn’t that how all package managers work? Not at all. Most software requires other software to work (dependancies). Those dependencies also have dependencies, and so on. If a version of the dependency changes between installs, your package works differently. So Nix forces the package to specify what version of the dependency to use.

But version numbers are pretty wishy-washy, so nix actually requires git commits. This is good, since it turns out, the compiler and libraries used to build the software are dependencies, too. Building with a different compiler can change the way the package works. So Nix forces the package to specify how to build it also.

So Nix is a package manager where each version of a package is built against a known compiler, and comes bundled with a known set of dependencies.

This allows some cool things, like generations. Change your list of installed packages (or configuratian, it handles that too), nix can save the old config and instantly go back to it. No more bricked linux install (if it can get past the bootloader). Also lets you do os-level per-directory installs. Have two projects that each need a different version of c compiler or postgres? Nix makes that easy. Want to make sure all dev machines in your project have the same python version? Just check in the config.

‘legitimate government’ isn’t really a thing. Many recognized countries are ruled by hereditary governments, or by autocrats who gained power in a coup. The legitimacy of such governments, andthe nationhood of the states, is recognized by other countries based on the foreign policy (mostly self interest) of those other countries. So, if you want to guess who would recognize a Gaza nation with Hamas as the ruling clique, ask yourself what governments would benifit from doing that.

the Isreali government has a long and increasing history of systematic oppression of palestinian people, both inside and outside of the occupied palestinian territories. https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/report-israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/

For those curious, this is a fireproofing wrap intended to help save the structure in the event of a forest fire.

I see this meh-meh come up occasionally, and I’m always amused because designers are constantly looking at the competition and adjusting to suit. Why do you think all sebtites look the same?

The one wheel works by having the rider lean in a direction to go that way. The more you lean, the faster it goes. It balances by pushing the rider in that direction. The trick is when you are leaning and going very fast, but then the board loses power and can’t push you anymore. Then the board nose dives and ejects you. Its the physics of the board, so they can warn you it might happen, but not prevent it.
