Yeah, my wife’s new Hyundai came with it. I still have to keep my hands on the steering wheel but it is actually nice to have. I don’t use it in heavy traffic but if traffic is light on a highway it is actually kind of helpful on long road trips reducing some of the mental fatigue. Chevrolet offers hands-off on many of their vehicles now and I think it’s about a $3,000 upgrade. It sounded like a lot until Tesla said $8,000 for theirs, and Tesla’s is dumb enough to drive through a wall painted to look like the road, like a Roadrunner cartoon.

From the article:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD used the Debian userland on top of the FreeBSD kernel, although sadly, due to lack of manpower the project ended in 2023. There was a similar effort using the kernel from the slightly older BSD, Debian GNU/NetBSD. Multiple others have been suggested, including ports to the kernels of OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, IBM’s OS/2 kernel and others.

I was at a wildlife preserve/zoo in Quebec and in the nursery they sometimes have interactions with the animals. That time they had a baby Siberian tiger. She was basically a kitten the size of a housecat. My wife kept giving her belly rubs. I asked the keeper if people with cat allergies have the same reaction to tigers and she said yes; she actually dealt with that herself and would take allergy medicine when working with the tigers.

I’m guessing it’s AI generated, but could be a stock image

I’m unsure if his response is more on the policing language side or more on the advisory, watch out, if you’re going to work for a government agency that is funded by politicians there’s a certain expectation for public decorum that has to be maintained so some congressman looking to score points doesn’t use you as a reason to cut funding. My guess, given he tried to help reinstate the internship, is that it was the latter.

I’m not sure I could really taste the difference between frozen custard and ice cream

It’s THE Homer Hickam?

I really hope to see them sometime. Whenever we’re in Quebec and there’s a good geomagnetic storm the weather is cloudy.

A local frozen custard shop used them and another generic design until they got successful enough to buy cups with their own logo

For physical letters I only put a subject on business correspondence, but that’s not something I expect kids to be familiar with

I would assume just as needed before a mission. I don’t think it changed much during most of the Cold War.

A joke also used on Futurama

The new giant windmills that generate electricity. Mostly they’re protested by people who don’t want to see them, or possibly hear them (I’m not sure that they are actually loud enough to be louder than whatever wind is blowing them unless you’re right next to them), or people upset about the number of birds they kill (although most of the people I’ve seen complaining about the bird deaths seem to be supporters of fossil fuels so their sincerity seems a bit dubious).

I have never heard of this project and it might suck up a lot of my time. How does this differ from making a virtual machine from old versions of Windows?

I believe I first played RollerCoaster Tycoon on Windows 98. I also got SimCity 2000 from GoG but it’s the DOS version and I feel like the Windows version looked better.

For things that actually used the 3D card, I used to enjoy Midtown Madness 2, Motocross Madness, and Need for Speed III, but that all might’ve been in my Windows 2000 days.

What’s the name of this lake?

I read an article about someone restoring one that was a fascinating exploration of the technology. I believe it could also be used to predict a landing point, and the globe had an outline showing friendly nations for a preferred landing zone in case of emergency.

EDIT: I think this is the post I read

Two years ago wildfires were threatening where my in-laws live in Canada and my father-in-law was suddenly panicking that he didn’t have a boat so they could escape down the river off the roads were closed. It’s kind of crazy to see someone apparently using a boat to escape actual fires!

Were you using a VPN when you signed up?

It really wasn’t unusually long in post.

After 25 months of pre-production, filming began on August 24, 1992, at Olokele Canyon.

Jurassic Park premiered at the Uptown Theater in Washington, D.C. on June 9, 1993, in support of two children’s charities.

It was a lot of work from multiple teams, but less than a year from starting filming to theatrical release.

It turns out, an NPC named Sarah, who is able to receive real-life emails from players crucial to advancement of the story, held all the answers.

Malmehed looked in Sarah’s email inbox and found thousands of emails from 2025 alone. Concerningly, he also saw that “about a third of them” didn’t have anything in the main body - everything was crammed into the subject line, which was preventing the in-game system from identifying the keywords necessary to respond.

“That’s something I’ve noticed a lot of young people are doing these days,” he told Polygon. “So I believe the users are in general pretty young.”

“No form of modern communication requires a subject and a body — it’s easy to see how people [who are] not familiar with email aren’t filling out both fields.”
