Fun fact, my Wii running Linux was my first server. I had a webserver running, and an IRC bouncer (ZNC). Anything outside the standard "it's available on every architecture" type stuff require manual compilation, however, which can take forever.
Since the last major jailbreak for Kindle devices was released, I've been using Koreader as well on my Scribe. I have progress syncing setup with Hardcover (Goodreads alternative) instead, however. Only downside is their recommendations don't seem to be well geared to my interests at this point, but hopefully that'll change in the future as more use the service.
I was genuinely hoping that this would extend back to at least the 10 series. I'm still daily driving my S10+ that I got when it first came out with no major issues other than the eventual lack of updates. Battery life is still great, very minimal wear and tear. Only real complaint I have at this point is that, post TMobile-Sprint merger, signal strength is rather odd at work now.
Yeah, I've read the same book multiple times before, years apart, without realizing it. Only when I went back to Goodreads later to mark it as read did I realize that... well, I had already read it.
On the flip side, I can enjoy a book more than once. This is a definite plus.
I'm all for historically low housing prices, but as for the rest... I'm not sure we should invoke any sort of Black Mirror-esque scenario on the world. Reality is already dark, grim, and eerie enough as is.
I mean, they quote Ian Carnelli in the article, saying that he expects a "much bigger deflection than (he) had planned". That said, the article also mentions that it will take Earth-bound telescopes/radars at least a week to get initial estimates in regard to the change of the asteroid's orbit, and then three to four weeks before getting precise measurements.
I think the real takeaway here is just that something unexpected happen. They're monitoring as they would have regardless, and results will come in time. Expecting results and/or a conclusion this early is, well, jumping the gun.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the term "factoid" was believed to be coined by Normal Mailer in a book he wrote about Marilyn Monroe. Per said book, factoids are "facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion in the Silent Majority."
While many use "fact" and "factoid" interchangeably, they are (by original definition) inherently two entirely different things.
We've had local business owners come in before that have tried to haggle with us. Even had one specifically point out repeatedly that he ran a business so he knew how it worked. Wouldn't take no for an answer.
It frustrates me to no end when someone doesn't understand the word "no".
GoodTwitter2[0] is the only reason that I still use the web version anymore. I can handle the mobile interface on a mobile device, but making the desktop experience mobile-themed was the straw that almost broke the camel's back. GoodTwitter2 mostly fixes that, thankfully.
The userscript also fixes the reverse-chronological issue. There's literally a setting that enables one to force "Latest Tweets First" mode, so it'll switch back to the "latest" feed whenever Twitter has decided that you should be viewing their "home" feed instead.
