The price of copper is $4.44 per pound. Lady liberty is composed of 176,000 lbs of copper. Melting her down would be worth $781,440 which is less than it would cost to dismantle and melt her down. Basically she’s not worth the trouble.

I met him as a child in the mid 80s at a balloon festival in NJ. He was there with some other rich dude, might’ve been Warren Buffett. They were handing out those little spinning helicopter things to kids. He seemed pretty cool from a five year old’s perspective.

I know the Windows vs Linux thing is like beating a dead horse, but I use both, and the Linux machine never gets slow like Windows does. Windows does so much crap in the background that you and I don’t need want or care about, and Linux just does what it’s told when it’s told. Give it a try if you’re feeling adventurous.

Now software bloat has caught up to the gains we’ve made in hardware and we’re back to it taking 15 seconds to load a word processor.

When joining acrylic, the absolute best method is to use Weld-On 3. It’s not a glue but a solvent. It dissolves the acrylic where they meet and hardens to be as strong as one solid piece.

It’s possible you have dealt with more than your fair share of sarcastic passive aggressive people in your life so far. Most people give a 👍🏼 as a confirmation, like “OK”. Its especially common when someone is bust, like if they’re driving or in a meeting, or trying to think.

I think with AI the real breakthrough will be interactive realistic porn, unless it’s already available?

What’s hunter2?

People who look at timestamped data would notice immediately. Server logs, transaction logs, etc would all be missing a minute’s worth of data. Things that take a known amount of time would not be completed on time. Trains would be late, burritos would be under-microwaved, satellites would be in unexpected positions, etc. So some people would notice instantly, some may not notice at all.

Nah in 2009 those sites were telling you to use Internet Explorer.

What show is that?

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but here it is anyway. If it doesn’t come off with dish detergent and a scrub sponge, just call it a permanent seasoning and let it be. If scrubbing it like mad won’t make it come off, then it won’t come off if your food touches it.

Maybe you’re picking up on how sound is bouncing off the object, kind of like a really weak form of echolocation, and your brain doesn’t know how else to present that information other than to give you a visual.

How does she even get her pants on?

Honestly I print out anything my little kiddo does at school on his Chromebook, and some stuff has black backgrounds. I got tired of wasting toner so I made a script that would print a negative screenshot if it’s a dark image. One keystroke and I get what I want

If someone started a blog site called “Tumbler” or a gay dating app called “Grinder” you could totally understand the conflict, couldn’t you. Listen, I went through this. I started a site whose name had a word that was similar to a famous trademark, and got a very similar cease and desist letter. I chose to change the name, and be candid about it, and I’ve been successful with it ever since. Just my $0.02, but I’d choose a new name you like and then register and trademark it like I did.

When I press Super + PrtSc, a bash script performs the following:

Takes a screenshot of the entire desktop (import -window root) and saves it as ~/screenshot.png…

Analyzes the screenshot to calculate the “mean brightness” value of the image. It converts the image to grayscale and determines the average pixel brightness (a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is black and 1 is white).

Checks if the image is dark by comparing the mean brightness to a threshold of 0.2. If the mean brightness is less than 0.2 (i.e., the image is very dark), it applies a negative filter to the image (convert -negate), effectively inverting the colors (black becomes white and vice versa).

Sends the image to a printer (lp command) named MF741C-743C for printing.

If all the billionaires in the world instantaneously ceased to exist, and all their money were evenly distributed to everyone on earth, you would get a one time payment of about $1,769. Then what?
