Raspberry Pi creates official guide for building a cyberdeck
Pi is dead. $300 for just the board is ridiculous. You can build a cheaper and faster cyberdeck by cannibalizing a Chromebook and installing Linux.

I clicked the link and at $279 pi5 isn't there. I checked separately and those prices aren't there. Maybe it's an in store special at your particular Microcenter?
But even at $279, it's still ridiculous given you still need a hsf, power supply, screen, keyboard, and battery to be equivalent to a cannibalized Chromebook.

Christopher Eccleston famously hated Dr who
its my understanding that he hated Russell T Davis because Davis was abusive to the staff.

I love/hated BSG ever since they expanded the number of Cylons for like the 3rd time. It was around that time it leaked that they didn't have any plan and Ron Moore had been lying to the fans for years.
After it was over he said, (paraphrased) "LOL, There was no plan. If someone suggested more hidden cylons and it sounded dramatic we would go with it and figure out what that would mean in the next writing session."

Their plan was to scam the fans into believing there was a plan so they'd watch.

Strait of Hormuz chaos has incentivized China to use an alternative trade route: a 3,400 mile frozen Arctic channel dubbed the ‘Ice Silk Road’
The article makes no sense. It talks about a route from China to Britain through the arctic but that has nothing to do with the Strait of Hormuz. The author, probably AI, has it confused with the Bab-el-Mandeb of the Red Sea which gets you to the Suez Canal.
Going through the arctic can't get your ships into Iran.

Iranian state TV broadcasts video targeting Barron Trump with $10m bounty
There's a weird medieval double standard where a King can kill a thousand peasant children but killing the children of another King is uncivilized. It's always, "But the children of the evil King are innocent!"
Maybe Kings wouldn't be so evil if they knew their bloodline would be hurt for their actions. Otherwise they're unselfishly risking their lives and reputation for the future of their family. In the social contract, allowing children to benefit from the actions of their parents only encourages parents to be ruthless.

Trump Declares Canada 'Will Be Treated Like a State No Longer' as He Announces 50% Tariffs
Reply in thread
What I'm referring to is a court system that finds a crime and only responds with a judgement, "The Supreme Court has determined that this crime is illegal." That's it. No arrests. No jail time. No fine. Not even, "Don't do it again."
stopping a murderer from killing more people
Trumps new tariffs, when his previous tariffs were already shown to be illegal is proof that they didn't stop anything.

It's not the chain store inside. It's the fake poured concrete facade to look like stone. It gives the illusion of being old like a castle at DisneyWorld.

Stock photos because I didn't photograph getting around from the airport into the cities.
But many of my actual city photos are shockingly similar all over Europe. Outside of a few streets it's mostly fake styling. Like in Zurich where the building might look older but then you walk close and it's poured concrete to look like stone and the store itself is a Starbucks or Sephora.
Edit for the downvoter:
This is a view very close the the Acropolis that I walked past several times. (Again not my photo because I photo the "interesting", not the realistic.)
But no one shares these photos, it's always the glamour shots.

It doesn't matter because the damage is done and he doesn't pay for the court costs.

I saw an episode of Nova years ago where dna analysis showed as few as 70 people crossed the Bering land bridge and formed the basis of all Native Americans.

the only cited sources in that article for a specific (effective) population size are also over 20 years
When research is old without being found wrong, it is more likely to be correct.
