This is GRUB’s final warning before you dig too deep in the OS list. Never hold ⬇️ for more than 45 minutes. If you do, make sure you have punch tape with a bootloader available or you’ll have to manually enter machine code instructions to get your computer back up.

The hole in the fuselage that caused them to be sucked out was actually made by one of them in a suicide/homicide. Very tragic. Somebody invest in mental health please!

A powerbank is another step in energy conversion and the cables are annoying.

The IMU probably drifts by some small percentge but an intermittent GPS signal every few kilometers should ensure that it never gets too far off course.

Oh, I forgot about the quality of US infrastrure. If an engineer needs to make a voice call to communicate to unpower the line because a train has derailed, that’s a systemic problem. I think all metros in the EU have telemetry and any major railway implements ETCS. Weird that “safety first” means that schoolkids cannot see the eclipse but public transport infrastructure gets way underfunded.

Also, a certain “blue line” keeps going off the rails in the US. I read this out of context and thought the police staged a riot.

Why? Passenger trains and subways are already very safe thanks to remote control & monitoring systems, Deadman’s switches etc. Many urban rail sstems don’t use drivers at all! Is there a subway accident from the past 20 years that could have been prevented with an extra driver?

Sure, no algorithm is able to extract any more information from a single photo. But how about combining detail caught in multiple frames of video? Some phones already do this kind of thing, getting multiple samples for highly zoomed photos thanks to camera shake.

Still, the problem remains that the results from a cherry-picked algorithm or outright hand-crafted pics may be presented.

I wonder if there is a notification ad blocker with community-submittted sets of regex patterns that root users can use.

Prior to 1870, Italy was several kingdoms, republics and duchies, with a federation of papal states in the middle, and Vatican, then just another cathedral hill in Rome, was not special – the pope mostly lived elsewhere. During the unification of Italy, the pope retreated to Vatican and troops left the palace alone. For almost 60 years, the papal state, now only controlling the Vatican area, was informally tolerated by Italy until Mussolini signed a 1929 treaty, recognizing the territory was independent.

To be honest, I’m not sure what the pope could do if he no longer came to good terms with the fascists but if I were him, I would retreat to an Allied cathedral on a “diplomatic mission” and ring the alarm, not caring if the tiny Vatican was occupied to Italy. Its bad wartime performance was becoming apparent and there would be a chance of reclaiming Vatican after it lost the war.
