I got food poisoning from the fish they served in the students cafeteria. Can’t stand fish or seafood anymore, and if the fish van is set up on the local supermarkets parking lot once a week, I go around it as far away as possible.

With RAM access being the one big bottleneck of a modern PC, can anyone in the know tell me about those SoCs? How much RAM did they have, and was it faster than external DIMMs?

And my point is that what Louisiana is calling the Ten Commandments is never called that in their supposed holy Bible inspired by their god and that there is part of that Bible, specifically called ten commandments that they are not discussing.

OK, now I get your point. Yes, those “ten commandments” would be funny to see in the classrooms. It might even teach some of the hardcore Christians and Bible thumpers something new…

The best way to get a good answer is probably to ask the man on anything cuneiform, Dr. Irving Finkel.

They do this for the upteemth time now. And it has always be cashiered by the courts lateron.

Data simply is not safe in the US.

I just wanted to point out that while it has the same label, it does not always contain the same content.

And the reasoning? As always Terrorists, pedophile, criminals, etc. Guess what: If those guys have not learned yet to make a big detour around official chat apps, they deserve getting caught. My bet is, those people already have their own secured means of communication. Maybe they have their own encrypted app, or they have a forum somewhere in the Darknet, whatever. But the chance that this new law will catch anything worthwhile is practically nil.

You don’t have them yet?

So there is no difference for you between e.g. the King James Bible, the NIV Bible, or the English Bible from 1631?

How about the ten commandments as shown in the English Bible print from 1631?

Trump is easy to understand:

Trump opens mouth -> Trump lies.

“the”, “a”, “and”?

A bank tried to sell me a pension fund contract. Luckily, I know my math and found out that it was so bad that I’d call it a scam.

If he actually was an “Upstanding Businessman”, they actually might. Need more reasons why they don’t?

Well, I wonder how much they report on Trump being unable to get that bond until Monday…

I have a bad feeling about this.

As long as Ukrainian drones concentrate on tanks that are moving to the front, the danger of hitting decoys is low.

Reminds me of a story from WW2: The Germans had built an airfield with lots of planes - from wood, as a decoy. One day, a single allied bomber appeared and dropped one bomb in the middle of the airfield. The “bomb” was made of wood, too.

It is the surprising exception to the rule. I never questioned this, but are there any real reasons for mandatory voting in Australia?

I don’t think mandatory voting is a good solution. This is mostly practices in autocratic/dictatorial states, and would have a bad taste to it.

What should be done is to either make voting day a public holiday (with mandatory “half day off” rule for anyone who would still have to work in retail or services), or just move it to a Sunday, like many other countries have done ages ago.
