While I’d like to think the wealthiest would do something that would benefit everyone, they can just build walls, or move to higher ground.

Your take on climate change makes me more worried. Sure, I will probably be fine, but how many innocent people around the world will die until we’ve done enough to see the climate improving?
How horrible is the world going to be to inhabit if the Gulf Stream collapses? Or other major climate disruptions occur?
I don’t doubt the human race will survive, but why do we have to experience the pain before committing to fixing the problem?
I think this is one of those things that seems like it should be easy to automate, but actually has lots of hidden complexity.
They probably don’t use this to scan commonly available books, because for those you can just cut the spine off the book and scan the pages in a regular scanner.
This is likely used for books that need to be preserved and can’t be damaged during the scanning process.
How do you make a machine that will always turn exactly one page and never tear a page, while adapting for different page sizes and thicknesses, and avoiding the static charge that can make pages stick together? All for less money than it costs to pay people to operate this machine.

Okay so in reality you don’t complete the entire frame before starting anything else. It may be 90% complete after initial sorting and flipping of pieces, so there are gaps in the border through which you can move finished portions.
Additionally, I would typically keep most of the unsorted pieces outside the frame and then build portions inside the frame.
The “normal” way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.
You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you’re spreading and flipping pieces.
Cultists obsessed with their leader’s face?
Same here. While mine is connected, I have no reason to use it with newer consoles in the same cabinet.
Ah yeah, I’ve never used the GUI for long enough to care how it looks, and no snap in CLI.
Good to know if my company forces my work laptop to windows 11! (I will not use an OS without a side taskbar)
Can you expand on that? I’ve never used Linux as a daily driver, interacting with Ubuntu systems via SSH.
Maybe it is! If something is so over-inflated that it bursts, it would probably look deflated…
What size do you estimate they are? Tennis ball sized?
The deflated snowman fits the scene so well!
Are you implying that bowl cuts weren’t cringe 20 years ago? The top will at least be in style when they are wearing it.
Well wingtips are typically used to increase efficiency, so not sure what you mean.
Big wing tips?
Because using the lives of innocent Ukranians as a bargaining chip is in bad taste?
Now throw them all in the trash 😌
50k should be enough to get a mortgage and buy a house. Enough to buy a house outright would obviously be better.
In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.
Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
