The solar panels also contribute a large amount of drag in thin remaining atmosphere at that altitude, requiring periodic reboosts, which requires fuel deliveries. The drag is substantial enough that the ISS rotates its solar panels to be flat during the night half of orbit to minimize it.

You can look at the flowers, but you can’t pick them.

With an atomic number of 241, it’s hardly small.

I’d call it bulkhead, but that term’s already used by seats in the front row of the section. Wall seating? Hullside?

Superset means all valid JavaScript is also valid Typescript. (At least, so long as you don’t have compiler setting on that requires all variables to have a type declared.)

It’s a superset of JavaScript. The big add is static typing, reducing the chance of runtime type errors. It compiles to vanilla JavaScript for distribution. Other new features include enums, interfaces, and generics for more type safety.

When the President is the WWE Hall of Fame, and Secretary of Education owns the organization…

Same in Vermont, so long as it’s not “lewd and lascivious behavior.”

They never got the indictment. The prosecutor had to downgrade the charges from a felony to a misdemeanor, which doesn’t have to go before a grand jury.

The footage of them in full face obscuring costumes, along with the mecha, is mostly straight from various Japanese shows, overdubbed into English. The US production company got Japan to shoot a little bit of extra content when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a smash hit, before they started rotating to other Japanese series to take footage from. You can make more money off of the toys, anyway, if you have new action figures and mechs every year.

There’s one in Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. There are two tunnels segments to go under major shipping channels. There are major naval bases upstream, and it was considered a national security risk to have a fleet potential trapped behind a downed bridge.

It’s da bomb

There’s a long-standing bug in Excel, dating back to the original release, where it thinks 1900 is a leap year. This isn’t a mistake, though, Microsoft coded it this way because Lotus 1-2-3 thought 1900 was a leap year, and they wanted to be compatible so they could import Lotus spread sheets. However, by doing this, they locked themselves in, and they need to continue to have this bug even today to be compatible with old Excel spreadsheets.

There are also two other ways to see the MLB logo: you’re either looking at the front of a left handed hitter or the back of a right handed hitter.

Goodbye

Russia’s joint military drills with Belarus has caused Poland to shut down Poland / Belarus border crossings. A lot of Chinese goods are shipped to Europe via rail that goes through one of these crossings, so China is taking notice.

1xx - We’re still working on it

When it fails, it at least points you to the site where everyone asks for help.

Ah, well, it does have a desktop mode, but it’s Linux + KDE, not Windows. It can probably do what you want, but it would be some adjustment to the new environment.

+1 on the Steam Deck train. I’ve been in the hospital the last few days, it’s been a godsend, playing Silksong between doctor visits.

You can get a dock if you want a full sized monitor or a real mouse & keyboard. The deck also has two trackpads, which is sufficient for slower mouse games like city builders while in handheld mode.

Because Valve is selling a lot of Decks, game developers are starting to use it as a watermark for low-end performance when tuning their games.

I will admit the Deck’s CPU is a few years old, you can probably get a faster portable if you really want, but SteamOS makes things pretty easy. Technically I can drop the Deck into desktop mode with a Linux KDE environment, but I can’t remember the last time I had to. Maybe when I was trying Minecraft?
