Had tea with gran last week. She told me that clothes rationing meant she had pairs of knickers that had to last her years during the war. I'm 41 and I don't think I've ever kept a pair of knickers longer than 12 weeks. Maybe I'm unnecessarily wasteful.
@fesshole Not underwear, but I'm wearing a shirt that I bought to wear to a friend's wedding in 1999. The shirt outlasted that marriage and my friend's life, sadly.
Poilievre demands that the prime minister provide full description of the taste and texture of American boot leather so that Canadians can make an informed decision #ElbowsUp
You realise, don't you, that Mr. Poilievre supported the decision to walk away from the negotiations, and has criticised the government for having made too many concessions? (E.g., on the Gordie Howe Bridge https://youtu.be/WkAIlg9kA8U?si=Hyx5GttuRDyVAaEA )
Regardless of what one may think of Mr. Poilievre, Canada has a parliamentary system of government: the PM and his ministry have a duty to inform #Parliament on the grave matters facing the nation.
O projeto busca sinergia ideal entre recursos de energia e desempenho computacional, interconectando centros de dados descentralizados que utilizam fontes de energia renováveis, em consonância com a iniciativa “colaboração watt-bit”, promovida pelo governo japonês.
...pequenos centros de dados serão implantados e interconectados por meio de uma APN (All-Photonics Network), que permite a comunicação por meio de sinais ópticos. Operarão como um sistema unificado, permitindo o armazenamento e o processamento contínuos de dados, independentemente da localização física. Além disso, a arquitetura de rede adotará placas de interface de rede fotônica (NICs) capazes de lidar diretamente com sinais ópticos, substituindo os métodos convencionais.
...com uma NIC fotônica que facilita a transmissão direta de longa distância, alta capacidade e baixa latência entre servidores usando sinais ópticos. A interconexão direta de servidores também reduzirá a quantidade de dispositivos de rede no caminho da rede e, consequentemente, o consumo de energia.
People were honking, waving, laughing, giving us thumbs up as always, and yes ICE got to hear all this. They always lock the place down and cower in their hole as if we're a threat-- anything to play victim. But the biggest "disruption" was one guy who was so excited he got out of his car-- as the light turned green!-- and filmed us for a few seconds with a huge grin. The people behind him didn't seem angry, though. Even MAGA-looking trucks with a suspicious amount of US flag imagery...
Protest Thread #122: Just wet at ICE, not really wild
Well, we managed to have a great noisy protest outside the concentration camp again. One fool rolled coal on us and we got rained on, but this time nobody harassed us. Although several people had transportation problems, the six of us who were able to come still made a lot of noise! As always, the diverse neighborhood around that place responded with great enthusiasm to our silly-but-very-serious protest.
