These are all nerds who don’t follow sportball most likely. They are quoting the TV show “The IT Crowd” where the main characters pretend to know about sports.

And as an even worse cherry on top, they did this just 2 weeks after they announced they would not honor requests by the Trump administration if they thought those requests weren’t legal. They vowed to sue whenever such a thing happened.

Literally weeks later such a situation presents itself and they don’t even give anyone a heads up or try to fight it. They just roll over like the traitors we always knew them to be.

Europe needs it’s own cloud fast. Unfortunately we are lagging behind around 10 years in my opinion. But are working hard to make up ground in record time.

We might not be there today, but we will get there. And when we do, the US will never see any of our money ever again. Fuck the US and fuck Microsoft

This not news, this is an idiot saying stupid shit. Please fuck off with this nonsense.

The EU can do a lot more than fine them. With the whole USB-C port issue the EU threatened to straight up ban all Apple products from being sold in the EU. That’s a hit Apple won’t be willing to pay.

I can read it, but for some reason I read it like a screenplay being read about some old-timey detective story.

With a custom made staircase? Why would the holes already be drilled? I’m not sure that blue color is the final color, or just a primer to prevent rust.

With the staircase I had it was simply 4 holes drilled in each stair and a short but fat screw driven through. This lead to bowing in the middle over time which made the stairs creak. So when I refurbished it, I drilled extra holes in each stair. As well as a thin strip of rubber over the top of the metal. Drilling in a relatively thin flat piece of steel like that is pretty easy. It wasn’t particularly hard as it was designed to flex with use instead of being super hard and being subject to metal fatigue. The holes weren’t that big, iirc they were 8mm.

I drilled the holes by hand and it was fine. Sure it’s a pain in the butt because there were so many stairs. But that was kinda par for the course in a project like that, especially since every stair was unique with it not being a perfect circle. But for people who do projects like this for a living, they have one of those fancy magnetic base drills. Those make easy work of something like this.

The wood would most likely not be fixed to the wall and be designed with a small gap to allowing movement. Wood tends to move around a lot, so you want to have it free to move where possible. Just bolted to the metal would be just fine.

No way, it has splotches and a big unfinished ragged seam. The wall facade is also floating about an inch of the floor. This is most definitely not a finished floor.

The lights are embedded in the wall and the stairs are fixed to the wall. So they probably wanted to finish out the wall before they put in the stairs. The wood of the stairs would also need to be fitted to the wall exactly, so it makes some kind of sense to finish the wall first. I would have opted for little nooks for the stairs to fit in, but there were probably reasons that didn’t make sense in that situation.

This has been reposted so many times. It’s obviously a work in progress, with the wood from the stairs missing. The floor doesn’t look finished as well.

I used to live in a home with a spiral staircase very similar in construction to the stairs in the picture. Once I removed all the wood in order to clean, fix and re-finish the wood. With the wood removed it was in fact a death trap like shown in the picture. I replaced the wood with temporary OSB cut to the right size, which actually looked kinda cool.

Its profits are plunging, as is its share price.

Looks at share price: Up 10% in the last month…

Yes the myth that irradiating something makes it radioactive is a very persistent one.

The reason radioactive material is so dangerous, is because it has the tendency to spread around. Not the radiation, but the material itself. Then people get exposed to that radiation and hurt themselves. There is a particularly tragic accident that happened in 1987 in Brazil where thousands of people got exposed to a stolen radioactive material. Especially when the material sheds dust it’s very dangerous because it can then easily be ingested and even low levels of radiation which normally wouldn’t penetrate the skin can cause issues inside the body.

Another reason the myth persists is because high enough levels of radiation can cause other materials to become radioactive. However on Earth this is only the case inside of fission and fusion nuclear reactors. And the source of a lot of the radioactive waste. But outside of that, nothing on Earth will make another thing become radioactive.

I know a lot of the food used in the military is normally irradiated. This allows for a long shelf life, which is particularly useful if you are killing kids spreading freedom on the other side of the world.

Hey USA, how about you stfu and mind your own goddammed business. Please fuck off forever, ktnxbye

I don’t even know how they managed this. I regularly create test repos to reproduce bugs in open source software, to go with the bug report. When it contains some random generated credentials only used within that repo, Github freaks out and I need to tell it it’s just testing shit and perfectly fine to publish.

You’d have to be intentionally publicing shit like that.

Sweet and savory is a god tier class of food IMHO. Pineapple on pizza is just the tip of the delicious iceberg. Have you tried peaches with rice and curry? Or raisins in rice? I also like sweet and sour sauce, especially with little pieces of assorted fruits.

My girlfriend hates it, in her opinion the only way to go with savory is salt. But she tolerates pork and pineapple on pizza, since the salty pork overpowers the sweet of the pineapple. But I love it!

Thanks, I’ll look into it. It doesn’t seem that easy but might be an option

Looks good, but video chat is a must have. We like to give each other the middle finger often.

I’ve been looking for an alternative as well. My gaming friends always use Skype when we play together. We started a million years ago when Skype was huge and everyone had it and since it kept working, we kept it around.

We tried a lot of stuff, but nothing just works the way Skype always did. Why did MS have to be bitches and get rid of it.

Europe isn’t as brainwashed as the US when it comes to communism. The reasons the EU doesn’t want to rely as much on China is because of the human rights violations, lack of ethics, lack of social provisions, environmental issues, broken agreements and abuse of power for example.

It’s a really nuanced and complex issue, just shouting communism bad seems like a strawman that has nothing to do with the real issues.

Large parts of Europe have social systems that in the US would be labeled as communism. There are places that investigate and have run trials on things like UBI. There’s more to the world than communism and capitalism. And for my own two cents, both systems are deeply flawed.

Aren’t most Christians in the US Protestants? Especially the Evangelical Protestants he’s always targeting? Does Trump even know what kind of Christians he’s trying to please?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t know not all Christians actually follow the pope
