Good point! I was thinking kind of like giraffe, they obviously must have some sort of like very long breathing tube to make it from their head to their lungs.
Maybe centaurs have like some sort of gill system or whatever that would be for land walking mammals?
There’s no way that a human heart would be able to pump enough blood to supply the full vascular needs of a thousand pound centaur.
Most likely, the human halfs heart is more of a vestigial organ or more of an assisting organ to help ensure that even under strenuous cardio that the brain receives enough blood flow to operate optimally.
The lung system though is definitely a weird one. I would be more inclined to believe that there are no lungs in the centaurs human half, maybe the areas that are lungs in a human would be something like a cud sack or some sort of extra biliary devices to increase the amount of acidity to break down their largely herbivorous appetite.
I am out of the loop, what happened to duckduckgo?
You have to watch an ad to crank your car.
Every time you bring your car to a full stop while it is running, an ad plays through your audio system and displays on your radio.
You have to watch an ad to make a phone call.
When your phone rings, it plays an ad jingle, call JG Wentworth 877 cash now.
When you send a text message or write a text post to an online system, an ad is injected with your text post so that readers in order to read what you wrote also have to read the ad.
If you have Smart lights or anything smart in your home, in order to use it you have to watch an ad.
In order to pay for something with a credit card you have to watch an ad on the credit card machine and click one of the choices that are offered to you.
Smart pillows that play hypnotic ads at you in your sleep.
Your electric toothbrush requires an ad to be played the whole time it is being used, and if you brush your teeth for less than the length of the ad, then they take a dollar from you.
Some guy comes to your house and screams logos and add quotes at you all of the time. If you try to get him to shut up he murders you and your entire family.
Replace the guy with a robot.
My problem with Pop OS is that on the two different machines I’ve installed it on it was very slow.
One of them made sense because it was an older mini Lenovo box, but the second machine I installed it on was a 10th gen Intel core i7 laptop with a Nvidia 2060 and 32 gigs of RAM and a decent one terabyte nvme SSD, and there would still be a massive pause with every click, somewhere between half a second and a second before anything would respond, and when updating or launching Firefox or anything it would always spin for a while and then pop up the sign saying this app is taking too long to respond.
Both of the devices were Lenovo devices, maybe there’s some sort of fundamental incompatibility or missing driver or something but I couldn’t cope with the lagginess of the OS.
Fedora worked swimmingly on both of them, for comparison.
I used to have very long hair and from this behind or beside people would call me ma’am and then when I turn to look at them they would correct themselves and say no I said man man.
But I’ve been incredibly fortunate, if I’ve ever Miss gendered anyone either the person I misgendered was kind enough to let it slide or didn’t make a big deal out of it.
It’s very much a nothing Burger in my life.
It’s kind of like when Justin Bieber was rocking the pedo stash and nobody said anything.
Anybody over the age of 25 was like dude that’s a pedo stash, you shouldn’t wear that unless you’re a pedo.
I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.
The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they’re never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn’t actually mean that you are a competent IT person.
Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?
Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.
I was not aware of this!
You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.
Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.
I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.
Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don’t look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.
The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on
It’s the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.
This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that’s clearly being supported by a strand.
The guy says that there must be something going on I’m going to look at my phone as they’re driving around and right as he’s about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don’t look at your phone.
As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes
Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?
The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you’ll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they’ve got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.
There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don’t have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can’t verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.
I’ve seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.
It’s a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.
But it’s not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven’t, just don’t let your kids watch it until they are adults.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
It’s such a gem of a movie, hits all the right notes
If your old phone has a removable battery, you can sometimes replace them with an appropriate capacitor.
That will eliminate spicy pillows from the mix but also eliminate battery backup, so if your power goes out you will need to manually turn them back on.
Unlike you mere peasants all of my pilots are ranked as land viscounts or higher
Honestly, fuck Microsoft, I fucking hate their user abusive practices, but I feel like that would be illegal to some degree or at least actionable and some sort of way.
Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?
I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.
I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.
It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.
Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.
The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.
I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.
And, just like people who install solar panels on their homes tend to use more energy than people who do not, finding a tricky way to buy additional time for us will only exacerbate and prolong how long we are destructive as a species to the planet that we live on.
