@lisakeb007 @so1arangel @Bealeionaire @anon_opin 15 minute cities do not *preclude* you from doing those things. This is the thing I don't get about the arguments against them: You can *still* travel further distances if you *want* to, but having facilities close at hand means you don't *need* to.

[Wayne Young @Slartybartfast]

@lisakeb007 @Bealeionaire @anon_opin No, not if it's to something that I want, like shopping or amenities. Why on earth would I want to travel a long distance to that?!?!

@dave_tremaine @ProfBrianCox Define "most"
I think you are projecting.

@SarahLouMiller Nice! 🙂

@DirtyMonkeyGame @Bhaal_Spawn Hmm .... cocoa powder works ... 🤔

[Wayne Young @Slartybartfast]

@Bhaal_Spawn I'm done. Can we skip it and see if 2026 is any better?
(please, for the love of all that is good, let it be).
I was just thinking earlier that every new year since 2020, I've thought "glad that's over, this year's going to be better". I've been wrong every year😞

364 MPs voted against holding another 10 year inquiry, into something that already had an inquiry into it, which released its results 4 years ago and was completely ignored, by the people who are currently calling for another inquiry.

@Bhaal_Spawn I thought you'd be harder to please .. 😉

@Bhaal_Spawn Err ... define "snow". 🤔

[Wayne Young @Slartybartfast]

@SarahLouMiller Nice! Here's one I made a few years ago.

Lovelly 📡 and pretty accurate! 🪐

@MartinBoxty @kechogarcia (end - begin) will not work: end is almost always < begin
It would be more like:
full = (end == (max_sz - 1)) || ((begin - end) == 1)
max_sz can be any positive integer greater than 1. It does not have to be a power of 2.

@kechogarcia 👍

@NBSaphierMD Perhaps because nobody is flying them, because there are NO DRONES!
Seriously .. I've yet to see any evidence. Every bit of "evidence" posted is a plane, helicopter, planet, or a star. There were never any drones. Please stop spreading disinformation.

@lhf55472946 @SahkoEE "almost impossible" sounds like a challenge to me ... 🤣
AM25S05 are 4x2 multiplier chips. No wonder there's a lot of them!! Also - looks like the date codes are from 1981, so must have been manufactured for quite some time. 12MFLOPS in 1976 is a bit special!
