We won’t be around, but Unix time will be.

Unfortunately, you’re both wrong 🙂

And Aliens is about revenge.

Giving a serious answer with serious consideration that follows serious rules, is impossible with religion, as all the rules are made up, there’s no consistency, and they’re all silly.

Last action hero. Ironically enough.

They tried, but he Akidoed them all to death by using their own energy against them and eating them first.

What you’re describing is called a resource leak. Something, an extension, a background process, etc., is holding onto resources for too long without cleaning itself up automatically.

This is pretty common in writing code, and extremely difficult to prevent except in closed and well understood systems. A browser is anything but that, due to the nature of needing to work on any website doing whatever they want.

The image of a 4 inch tall human towering over a bird amuses me.

That’s not how it works. They use it as Capital to influence politics and things like that, which buys them more influence, which they use to reduce workers pay, rights, and benefits even further, which they absolutely use to acquire more wealth.

Every billion they gain comes at the cost to worker rights.

Peons work there. It would do no good.

Glad someone mentioned this gem

He has a graphic novel biography about his childhood growing up in internment camps. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand a bit of American history that they don’t really teach in schools.

Izzard

That was much later. Up until that point, Röhm, the General of the SA at the time, was a “constitutional loyalist” who didn’t help or hurt Hitler.

Then Hitler made up a conspiracy that Röhm and about 300 of his loyalists were going to commit a “coup”, and staged a overthrow of the German Military during Röhm’s Honeymoon, a day or two after he got married.

Of course, the rest of the German people were ok with that, because he outed Röhm as gay, and had already done well to turn the people against Homosexuals in the country. That combined with the lie that Röhm was about to depose Hitler, and he succeeded in a flawless execution of 300 top military leaders to seize complete control of all facets of German operations. Presidency from Hindenburg, Military from Röhm, and his Chancellorship he got at the voting booth.

That’s all to say I have no faith in our military preventing a Fascist dictatorship from asserting control over our country.

At no point in history has that seemingly happened. I would not expect us to set the curve.

He thinks it be like that, because it be like that.

Closer to 96/95% now ;) But yeah, your point stands. What’s even worse about this, is I’m working on a dual citizenship with Portugal, so I should have had more self-awareness than I showed ;)

Ok, I missed the sarcasm and allusion to the US as the country you were talking about. That’s fair.

I assumed the OP was asking the question for the US. Which of course, is the thing people in my country do. Assume everything is about us ;)

Are you sure?

There’s “hard” caps, and there’s “soft” caps. When you hit the soft caps with many of these ISP’s, they start throttling your internet usage by a substantial amount.

Relevant Screenshot of caps as of Sept 2024.

Home Internet usually doesn’t have unlimited internet. There’s usually caps baked in somewhere. Don’t believe me? Read the fine print. At some point, at some bandwidth usage in the monthly cycle, they will throttle the living crap out of your connection. It’s written into pretty much every contract I’ve ever signed, and I’ve been with over a dozen carriers of landline internet over the years.

The reason being that they don’t want you serving websites or business class functionality with residential level internet. They didn’t build their network with those constraints. They want you paying for and using the business internet package, which has dedicated bandwidth and no caps because you’re paying for a dedicated line to be run.

For mobile phones? Old pricing models still trying to be relevant. There’s no technical reason.

The only correct answer in the thread.
