Not sure why but Pinocchio Joe has considered it necessary to recognize Niue and the Cook Islands as a sovereign and independent states

Both were managed by New Zealand.

Niue in particular has only a couple thousand people. Pretty small for a "country".

Why do you need to change the wifi on the printer. The last time I replaced the router I used the same network name & password. Had to reboot the printer to make everything work but was fine. (really odd that I could open the printer's web page but not print)

I just replaced a magenta printer cartridge and all color prints come out with that color mixed in. Will figure it out after my road trip.

@ned
The original LISP was implemented on 36 bit machines. CAR and CDR referred to 18 bit values (left & right).

so you had both values stored into a single 36 bit storage.

jwz has some comments about Wayland
https://www.jwz.org/blog/2023/09/wayland-and-screen-savers/
As the long time author of XScreenSaver he has some real credentials here.

Yeah - screensavers work really well on MacOS and Linux systems running X. But this page and a link early in this page explains why Wayland is not so fortunate.

I'm an old guy so am a fan of various X11 features that are NOT in Wayland. It would be hard to convince me otherwise.

@Sophistifunk
Because that bowl is unsafe for microwave use (it absorbs the microwaves).

See this
https://www.wikihow.com/Test-if-a-Dish-Is-Microwave-Safe
for a simple test to see if an item is safe for microwaves.

I will also note that some plastic plates and bowls can leach when used in a microwave and will try to poison the food.

WaPo chief fact checker Glenn Kessler" (or another staffer) is quietly doing "edits" to prior "fact checks" as new evidence comes out about the Hunter Biden laptop story.

This was "one of the most read articles in our 13-year history”.

July 2021 - added note that Pinocchio Joe did have dinner in 2015 with Burisma.

August 2023 - updated to say that Archer "disputed" the WaPo account.
and so on. At least six updates so far.

A list of political links to Kessler as well.

@Knight_of_the_First_State
Yeah - a quick look at the paper
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2807617
scroll down to the limitations section to see stuff like this

"First, there are plausible alternative explanations for the difference in excess death rates by political party affiliation beyond the explanatory role of vaccines discussed herein."
(and they are??)

There are five of those - all pretty serious.

PS: The draft of this was released at least 10 months ago - was debunked then too.

The delusion is strong with some people...

The soviet joke is so true with the government censorship and explicit support by MDM outlets.

If you want to look at the original via nitter.

Pinocchio Joe is promoting a "cyber trust mark"
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/07/18/biden-harris-administration-announces-cybersecurity-labeling-program-for-smart-devices-to-protect-american-consumers/
This announcement DOES NOT mention the criteria nor provide a link to read more details. It also explicitly excludes routers and some other device (the criteria isn't ready...) until next year.

I did a quick search of fcc.gov - nothing posted in the last week that appears to be appropriate.

Sigh.

@mh
But even then the followers can see them. "Mentioned People Only" is better for random test runs.

The streams, rivers, and underground aquifers are all subject to water rights.
https://waterknowledge.colostate.edu/water-management-administration/water-rights/
First beneficial use is the general rule for who gets that water first.

So you have young cities like Aurora CO having to buy water rights from groups who have more senior rights. We may have water restrictions despite Denver nearby not having restrictions due to it's more senior rights.

It sucks.

@ned @JamesC @mrman
The official reason is "water rights".

You are diverting water away from the city / company that has the water rights. It was only recently that you couldn't collect rain water for any use.

@JamesC @mrman
So does Colorado.

Limited to two 55 gallon barrels if you have a single family home or a small (4 or less) multifamily facility.
https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/natural-resources/rainwater-collection-colorado-6-707/
What you can use it for is also limited - it depends a bit if you have well water or not.

@lain
Consult the "book of knowledge"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A
I would not say it was "capable of monitoring all the internet traffic in the US" - just what went nearby that room. But with similar rooms in other locations - maybe so.

Comparing an AI solution to a human one

Okay, this is a really stupid sounding question but ChatGPT decided to make an elaborate solution. The people solutions are MUCH simpler.
