A distro is composed of:

• an installer
• base system (bootloader, filesystems, service runner, DE, basic apps, settings)
• packet manager and packaged software
• an updater between releases

The biggest things you notice are updated packages. Many of the base-system differences aren't even pushed to updated installations. Most of what the user sees as °the os° is the DE anyway.

Wasn't that somewhat how Q-anon started?

They have an exclusive deal with Epic. So no Steam/GOG for the forseeable future. They say the game would not have happened wnthout the money from Epic.

I guess the DRM-free version was the best deal they could get...

Is "protein" in this article an euphemism for "meat" like usual in the us? Why do you do that? There are other sources of protein you know...

Just a note: Superconductivity is not only destroyed by temperature, but also by magnetic fields or a too high current. We might find a room temperature superconductor that is basically useless for energy transportation or high magnetic field applications.

Another problem: almost all known high-temperature superconductors are ceramics and thus very brittle and hard to work with.

What we want is a cheap, metallic, high temperature superconductor with a high maximum critical magnetic field and high critical max current density...

But of course any improvement could give big improvements in some applications. Having a nitrogen cooled MRI wound be awesome.

So grandpa had a computer problem. Turns out he installed one of the early locker trojans. He: "It's all my own fault." Family: "no grandpa, that were some ugly hackers". So i removed the virus and checked the computer. Turns out it was his fault. He tried to watch "russian removed porn" and installed the virus in that process. He was like 85 and needed help washing himself. So IDK what his intentions were... The worst part: I had to keep a straight face and confirm the "hackers" therory. That secret will die with me. And now you.

I never understood why Fermi should be a paradox.

Space is mind-bogglingly big. Insanely huge. And almost everything is empty. Primitive life (bacteria, fungus,...) might evolve on every other planet, but even mammal like life is probably not that common. Maybe 1 in 10k solar systems has them?

And now my sad hypothesis: FTL drives are simply not possible.

Also, did I mention space is huge? Sending radio signals to a planet 10k ly away is very non trivial. Unless they point a huge dish exactly at us and we point a huce dish exactly to them, we won't hear each other.

The idea that extraterrestials will watch our TV in 100k years is absurd. (Sorry Lrrrr)
