[02:54:28] <progo> wow the video linked from that blog post has a really janky looking product demo
[02:55:08] <progo> memo from computer users to vendors: we don't want your foldable curlable displays. they are too fragile and offer no great benefit that's worth the risk and downsides

[05:45:34] <inz> progo, let the stup^Wearly adopters pay for the development costs, they might be useful once the technology is reliable and affordable
[05:51:35] <progo> in my day we had flat rigid screens and appreciated what we had
[05:53:03] <progo> I'm 42, grew up with home microcomputers. and I'm amused that some retro-computing enthusiasts insist on using old CRTs and floppy drives. and others of course don't use those :^)
[05:53:26] <progo> why use a Commodore 64 with a 20 pound CRT and cranky broken floppy drive when you can use LCD and an SD card adapter?
[05:53:48] <progo> or better yet just emulate the whole system
[05:56:15] <inz> FatPhil, beware, OL3 running at full steam

[06:18:37] <FatPhil> I'm looking for mushroom clouds to the east, not the north
[06:20:39] <FatPhil> talking about bombs... https://www.spiegel.de
[06:20:42] <systemd> ^ 03Nord-Stream-Lecks: Ermittler gehen von Bomben mit großer Sprengkraft aus
[06:29:54] <inz> Who put the bomp
[07:02:31] <FatPhil> someone set us up
[07:03:38] <FatPhil> i\m sure RT thinks it was Ukraine that did it
[07:06:54] <inz> The US-puppeteered Nazi government of the so called Ukraine?
[07:14:04] <chromas> progo: Everyone living their lives on the internet through LCDs is why we're all so polarized.
[07:55:54] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Switzerland: Disastrous Melt Rate of Glaciers Recorded - https://sylnt.us
[07:58:56] <chromas> ooh, I can get this usb cable on Oct 6 with free shipping
[07:59:09] <chromas> but if I pay $6 for Standard Shipping, I can get it as early as Oct 6
[08:02:56] <Runaway1956> Great article FatPhil
[08:03:23] <Runaway1956> "If we assume A, then assume B, we can move on to Assumption C"
[08:04:45] <Runaway1956> I think they skipped over an assumption somewhere: Russia now has a lucrative market for their gas, and no longer needs or wants a European market.

[08:31:28] <Runaway1956> Don't see that very much on continental US
[08:32:23] <Runaway1956> I haven't kept a running score, but I'm not sure I can say I've ever seen it on CONUS
[08:32:36] <inz> Nor do we have it in southern finland
[08:32:47] <inz> But it's the only temperature which is the same on both F and C scales
[08:33:04] <Runaway1956> Ahhhhhhhh - I missed that, lol

[09:10:16] <FatPhil> Pah! another american who thinks north dakota doesn't exist - -40 isn't that rare in winter there
[09:10:39] <Runaway1956> *cough*
[09:11:11] <Runaway1956> Did not say it doesn't happen on CONUS - said you don't see that very much
[09:11:44] <Runaway1956> It's common in much of Alaska, far less common even in N. Dakota and the nothern tier of states
[09:12:51] <Runaway1956> The coldest temperature recorded in the contiguous U.S. is 70 degrees below zero, measured at Rogers Pass, Montana, on Jan. 20, 1954.
[09:13:54] <Runaway1956> The lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States was -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius) on January 23, 1971 at Prospect Creek Camp
[09:14:05] <Runaway1956> Sources can't even agree with each other
[09:18:57] <Runaway1956> I can't vouch for accuracy, but this page is interesting
