4’33" by John Cage. (Here’s a performance by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra)

It will leave quite the impression upon him.

It’s the same process. Mpv uses yt-dl or yt-dlp on the back end when loading YouTube videos from the URL.

Plus they’re officially branded, not some knockoff. It would be an amazing gag gift.

The trick is to not care, and to confidently do it like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it clearly was.

The world of the wealthy runs on appearances. The worst thing you can do there is to be ashamed. Arguably better is to look at them with confident disdain for using a knife and fork to eat a pizza, in much the same way that they might for someone using a soup spoon for dessert.

For the pizza, it’s arguably more regional than wealth related. In a few countries, like parts of Italy and Sweden, it’s more common to eat pizza using cutlery rather than using your hands.

Whereas for other places, like other parts of Italy, it may be more common to use your hands for it instead. It very much depends on where, and the local culture more than anything else. But using your hands is as valid as using a knife and fork.

Barnacle. Several times their body size, supposedly.

Would it not be better to ask them directly?

They know their own preferences, and could mention if they have policies in the clinic that prevent them from accepting gifts from patients and the like.

That’s what the article reports. An investigation was conducted into the death, and concluded that the injections were not related. The only issue with the cosmetic surgeons was that their licence wasn’t applicable in France, or other regulatory faults.

The victim taking numerous erectile dysfunction and penile enlargement medications were suggested to have been the driver for the heart problems that killed him.

Kind of weird that the surgeons are implicated to have caused it in the headline, when he died of a heart problem unrelated to the cosmetic surgery.

You’d think the drugs and medications he was taking would be more at fault in that case.

And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say, his small heart grew three sizes that day.

He did die of cardiac hypertrophy/his heart growing too big, funnily enough.

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

Or “if only the city would open a new lane, it won’t be as congested”. Sometimes followed by “why dId the city shut the road, that’s just going to make traffic worse” when the council shuts the road for expansion works.

Though the initial learning curve can seem a bit intimidating if you’re used to something like word, which does everything for you with a single button.

Especially for things like picking which packages to use, or how to make a functional document from it.

Ah, I see. I thought that they meant that the US should extradite the criminal.

Though if he voluntarily self-deported to escape the trial, it seems rather unlikely that he would have chosen a country with extradition deals with the US. That seems like it would just be going in a circle.

The criminal is no longer in the country, as they voluntarily self-deported. Extradition would no longer be possible.

You say that, but analogue computers are quite good at what they do. Issue tends to be that they’re specialised, so aren’t very good at general tasks.

Brains are a rare exception.

In fairness, if it fell, and somehow left no trace of its existence upon hitting the ground, that would also be insane, albeit in a different way.

Would it not be self-correcting in the end? The various bits of debris that form the Kessler cloud would collide so much that they would eventually fragment into little more than dust, or lose enough energy that they are no longer in a stable orbit?

Got a workspace. Funnily enough, spent the while morning cleaning it because it was horrifically dusty, just after having spent the whole day on Sunday cleaning up my workspace at home for rather much the same reason.

At least there is air conditioning in the building.

It also stops them from getting attention, and dissuades people who might commit similar crimes for the notoriety.
