Oof, I’ve read about plans to do that sort of thing but didn’t know they were already implemented. Godspeed to all affected.

Huh? Last I checked it’s just a checkbox with no actual verification mechanism

No, but most in suburban America have a gas powered lawnmower

Most people don’t have a spare electric drivetrain in their garage, though.

Try Go. Chess is at least quick—one mistake in Go and you get to spend the next 20 turns watching the territory you spent half an hour staking out shrivel away to nothing.

I think the question is whether you interpret that acronym as P E M D A S or P E MD AS (i.e., whether multiplication has higher precedence than division or whether they are the same).

The latter is correct, the former is an unfortunately common misunderstanding.

Not very, it spreads human to human but much less aggressively than flu or covid.

“We do believe that there may be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who’ve shared cabins,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic management at the World Health Organization, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday.

That’s pretty impressive! As far as I know, only Mlem (iOS only) can also keep posts/communities/etc open when switching accounts.

What separates your multi account support from other apps’ offerings?

All this and more, for the low low price of actually reading the article:

It enables complex visual patterns while also retaining approximately 95 percent of the power output of an uncoated module.

Greatest is hard to nail down, but some songs that I think belong in the conversation:

Måneskin - BLA BLA BLA is pretty unhinged.

Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind isn’t unambiguously a breakup song, but the vibes are right there for me.

Kanye’s a piece of shit but See You In My Nightmares is a banger of a breakup song

Beatles - Yesterday is an all time classic

Of course not, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. We go to space because it’s cool and we can, and that’s a beautifully human thing to do. As for the money, it’s a baseline fact of this world that enormous sums will be spent on things that don’t fix our problems, and space is as good a use as any for that wasted cash. If it were space or solving hunger, solving hunger is the obvious priority, but practically speaking it’s “don’t solve hunger and go to space” or “don’t solve hunger.”

Bohemian Rhapsody. All fluff, no substance.

Rich people mostly hang out with rich people, so preference notwithstanding it’s expected they’d find partners from that pool. As for preferences, I’d guess it varies a lot person to person but averages out to a preference for people with at least some status.

In the US, debts of the deceased are paid out of the estate. If there isn’t enough money in the estate, the debts just go unpaid—descendants or other survivors are not responsible.

In your scenario, assuming he owned the residence, it would be sold and the debts repaid from the proceeds; likewise with any other assets he left behind.
