IMHO, one of the reasons I've been delaying an upgrade is because the standard sized iphone 13 ( not even pro ) I've had for a few years now is big enough already, anything larger just would not be ergonomic ( and I have large hands )...

Anyone else old enough to remember scripting a tradebot in Asheron's Call?

this is the correct answer, as long as health care is for-profit we will always be the product instead of the consumer

The DOJ are apparently idiots that do not understand tech, let alone anti-trust or monopolies... for instance: I create a useful device that consumers love and use, I sell ads on the device to anyone who will pay, in fact I auction them to the highest bidder... DOJ: you are a monopoly and must sell the device... wtf?

In theory, couldn't we focus on a perfect spot near a black hole where the light has been warped 180 degrees around it... i.e. if the black hole is 100 light years away, you'd see ( with perfect zoom, of course ) a picture of the earth 200 years ago...?

I understand that we'd have to account for the movement of objects, of course, but with computers, seems like a small hurdle...

I suffered insomnia for many years when working days, it seems I'm just a night owl and I've learned that working the night shift works best for me, midnight - 8am local time seems to be the sweet spot for me, in bed before noon, up for a late dinner and a night with family before they're all off to sleep while I work the night away in peaceful quiet... and no more insomnia, with black-out curtains in the bedroom and a running fan I no longer have trouble sleeping...
