Gotcha, so you guys use readonly edge servers and just eat the latency on writes

What do they do to mitigate the roundtrip latency introduced by using a hosted database on a separate network? Is the idea that you wouldn't use this if you have pages that do many queries to render?

Doesn't this introduce a conflict of interest when it comes to ActivityPub? Not that I ever believed they'd really add support.

To affix your spool, or to access the string at all you need to go through the airtight robot and you need to know the exact distance that you need to run the wire since you can't access it unless the robot is fully extended. Kinda only makes sense if you have exact measurements and are willing to destroy the robot after it fully extends. Still probably a great way to run wire through long pipes.

The video said that you'd be able to pull cables along, but I'm struggling to see how you'd do that given that the actual walls of the "robot" are static once deployed. Is the idea that you somehow turn the cables inside out too?

I've been wanting to get off of my s21 ultra because it's extremely bulky and has gotten slow over the years. The killer feature keeping me on it is the 100x zoom for identifying birds and I haven't seen another phone rival it yet. To be clear the 100x zoom is awful quality and not really useful for anything beyond getting basic shapes and colors but for identifying far birds it's awesome.

I'm fairly certain that you have to undergo a sleep study wherein they monitor your breathing and your blood oxygen levels. If your blood oxygen falls to levels that seem dangerous you will be prescribed. So my understanding is it's not as simple as going to the doctor and saying "I slept funny last night".

If Deno doesn't get adequate funding, the company developing Deno will not exist 5 years from now.

Skimming this post was hard when I had to read past "woke, Soros funded district attorney". How do you people take yourselves seriously?

There were three points I saw:

1. Fraud isn't a crime, no one was harmed so we should be allowed to commit fraud freely

2. Some of the inflated properties actually grew over a decade to be worth nearly half of the amount declared and so it's not actually as bad as it seems (Read: It's still bad)

3. Biden is being investigated and people don't have the ability to follow two news stories at once

These three points really seem to be reaching desperately for any way to what-about away this case. I personally haven't interacted with a single person who thinks that Biden or his son should be let off the hook because of who they are if any evidence is found but every single Trump supporter remaining (You really have to be a specific kind of person to support Trump at this point) seems to think that Trump is above the law.

How about we agree to all hold our politicians and community members to the letter of the law equally?

To be fair it is far more complex for a robot to grip a spatula and use that spatula on a griddle than to use dynamic motion to flip a pancake in a pan.

At least once she's been lectured about starting a family by pharmacists when trying to pick up her prescription which caused us to switch to a different pharmacy.

It's possible it's all imagined, but I don't really understand why a pharmacist would only give one month when the prescription is for multiple months, or why the prescription can't be for longer as to require less doctors visits / bills. We certainly haven't had the same experience picking up other prescriptions.

Yes there is a lot of gatekeeping happening across the board. From my wife's experience living just outside of Portland Oregon:

- Prescription has been cancelled twice for no real reason.

- Pharmacists have refused to give more than one month at a time more than once.

- Even if everyone is on board and not hostile she's only able to get a few months at a time so she has to do this multiple times a year.

I can't imagine how it'd be if we lived in a more conservative state or in a more rural area.

With all the talk about RHEL and centos/rocky/alma OS I was really confused by this title
