You can only get them registered for off-road use. You can also use them on Catalina island. But no way to register them as street legal, legally.

Was nostalgic recently for fortune spitting out at the top of my old slackware shell. So I added it to my Ubuntu VPS shell. Let's just say, my sense of humor has changed a lot since I was 16. But 25% of the time I find them amusing.

WSJ is reporting the Alaska object was metallic balloon with suspended payload.

I have a strong hunch the US had known about them for a long time and maybe decided it’s better to let them hang out so they can be studied and secretly test measures against them, versus reveal response patterns and weapons capabilities. But something recently has made that calculus change.

Right, but what makes it confusing it this is the one they were calling object, so not confirmation of being a balloon or suspending a payload.

“ Another official from the Department of Defense told the New York Times that the object broke into pieces when it hit the frozen sea” - Guardian article on the Alaska downing

How could a balloon break into pieces? Doesn’t it need to be made of flexible material?

Edit: WSJ is now reporting unnamed sources confirmed Alaska was a metallic balloon w suspended payload.

At what altitude does something stop being geographic territory and start being a plane in the atmosphere?

Wonder how they picked who the lucky pilot is to get the first F-22 air to air kill. Draw straws?

Sunk so many hours into fy_iceworld. I never enjoyed sitting around and waiting for rounds to end on normal maps. Loved the pace of iceworld and awp_map.

And using headphones on iceworld gave you wallhack like abilities.

Can we start with human babies first?

What’s odd about it for me is not the content or wording (seems to point out pretty common issues with intensive breathing), it’s more the fact that it’s not presented to the user during onboarding in a meaningful or noticeable way.

I have the same watch, same issue. Just discovered it tonight while trying to enable E2EE. Presumably it’s because the 3 doesn’t receive watchOS updates anymore as a discontinued product, so it can’t participate in the new E2EE “pipeline”

Doubt it. The US would very much love it to fly pretty much anywhere outside Switzerland so it can be extradited.

Exact same reason I stopped using pi-hole. It bugged out Google shopping and my partner complained. And the whitelisting / access control is annoying UX imo so I went back to normal DNS. Might return to it eventually but not enable it for every dhcp client.

Edit: and her iPhone changes its MAC address randomly so the access control was tricky to maintain.

Still in print as far as I know. These days the physical catalog is very difficult to get from McMaster. They probably make them in very low quantities and hand select who gets them, maybe based on lifetime spend / org size, or so I’ve heard.
