i don't get how these contracts work in perpetuity, though.
If i stop paying for some service, why would i still be bound by whatever "contract" i signed? Am i still bound by the terms of use for my Blockbuster Membership from 1998? AOL TOU?
I am guessing these lower courts are "upholding" whatever so that it gets appealed to higher courts, not wanting to be the court that pisses off large donors to whichever party. I just wish someone would state that, plainly.

it is
> In land warfare … a soldier who wishes to indicate that he is no longer capable of engaging in combat, or that he intends to cease combat, lays down his arms and raises his hands.
> Surrender is a legal exchange [...] Where a person [...] reveals to the opponent that [they] no longer intend to [...] participate in hostilities, the opposing force is legally obligated to accept that offer of surrender and refrain from making such a person the object of attack.

I only know about "fediverse" because i heard about gnu social 14 years ago or whenever. Tried to run it a few times, never could get federation to work, but at some point "mastodon" surpassed 1mm users so i went looking. I still don't like the interface, (phanpy helps, so far), but i wouldn't have known about it at all otherwise - either i'm sheltered or they can't handle the signups so don't advertise.

is there a difference between depositing on the phone vs at an ATM? because i've been a chase customer for like a decade and a half, and the checks i deposit are generally from me to me, and they *always* put a hold on any amount over $500 or so. Furthermore, how are they withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars? The Chase ATM only lets me pull $500 (regardless of what i deposit, that's the daily withdrawal limit).
So maybe i'm missing something, but i don't see how this is possible

penn and teller did a special on "recycling" and the big joke is:

As usual, it makes sense to recycle (i guess), but american politicians and corporations made a mockery of the whole thing and now we have a garbage patch in the pacific that you can see from space

it looks correct, but the reason it works is aluminum powder is basically aluminum oxide (aluminum "rust"), so there's a LOT of oxygen there for the reaction. Shops that work with aluminum, like mills or whatever have to be careful about cleaning the work areas of the powder because it's stupid explosive. If you gall a grinding wheel with aluminum and then push harder against it it can ignite and throw molten aluminum everywhere and start all manner of piles of dust on fire.

I stayed up last night (coughing in a fit) finishing episode 4 of "The Long Dark: Wintermute" and today i've got a bit of the blues, because there's no more game to play, yet.
If i've still got the mighty itch to play more on Sunday, i am going to start a "Stalker" run of TLD: Hinterlands - the survival side. IDK if i've ever played the survival part, but even so, they changed so much a couple years ago i won't remember anything, anyhow.
Any games like The Long Dark? (Wild eight, obv) LMK!

2024-08-30 12:15:12

The Long Dark: Wintermute (the campaign rather than the survival part) episodes 1-4 completed. I mistakenly thought the 5th episode was released so i was just going to play all the way through.
Oh well, I've never beaten The Wild Eight, i don't think.
My least favorite thing about the campaign: Every directive is intended to make you feel rushed; this makes the exploration seem much less worthwhile. I think i played a lot of Survival mode when i first played the game. That was good, iirc

1000ppm CO2 has been "associated" with "fog" roughly equivalent to a shot or a beer. i could pull the DOI refs, but why bother. Having >1000 constantly could be an impediment, i guess.
Let me see what my indoor CO2 is... 521. Safe here!
Oxygen is "poisonous" and narcotic to humans - we attach bits of our bodies to it just to get it out of ourselves. our lungs can't put a C on a CO2 for whatever reason so that's why it's injurious.
