The bot appears to be down

Oh, thanks for telling me...

Bot is back online.

This is very cool.

It's always a good day when you realise a DSL is justified.

I was thinking earlier when it lost the signal but those cameras were amazingly resilient - even when the lens got ruined by the fin smoke we got to see more when it cracked and could see the sparks through the holes.

what you can infer of the federation based on its symbolism

Earth went through a bad patch, but has risen again and become a space-faring society. The fact that it's called the Neo-Terran Federation means that either all of those stars are colonies of Earth, or that Earth is the power and that the other stars are lesser members (thralls? conquered?).

I don't think these are meant to be the good guys, partly based on the phoenix styles you posted in your reply to the flag mock-up. "Federation" otherwise gives me good vibes, probably because of Star Trek's influence.

A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I've klnown of SCP for a long time but I've never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I've spent/wasted enough time there already!

Errr, you're losing me a bit there - are we still in sandwich territory with this version? It's like a weird sausage roll now.

They do shut off ("curtail") renewable energy because it is a problem - excess power can destabilise the grid, causing brownouts and blackouts and also physically damage grid equipment like transformers and transmission lines over time.

Schedule, yes! We're very much in the minority on that one, but I'll keep on using it the right way, even if it doesn't seem to make sense when looking at other words like school.

I wonder if the compiler checks to see if the calls are pure and are therefore safe to run in parallel. It seems like the kind of thing the Rust compiler should be able to do.

Lemmy lost my full reply, so I'll just point out that your chart "proving" MBFC has some pro-centralist agenda (news to me) is from a different source and doesn't agree with MBFC data (e.g. MBFC has the Daily Mail as very right and low accuracy).

shilling kagi

Shilling means that you're claiming people (like me) who've been recommending Kagi are in fact secretly paid to do covert advertising.

Are you using that word wrong, or do you actually believe that we're all liars?
