At least those are handling actual data you're doing serious work with.

Chrome is something I'd mostly be using for a few bits (well maybe Kbits) of reference text. I blame the websites as much as chrome itself. I assume the OS is smart enough to cache that somewhere though when I want the ram for something else.

MS teams is just siting there eating c.1gb for nothing but to be an annoying pos. Outlook doing the same but not as much resources I think.

But it's true when I have to kill a task it is much more likely to be one where I've knowingly put several GB of data into ram to do stuff with.

The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.

But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).

Well, its on lemmy and you're several comments deep.

You're almost bound to hit a vein of unsolicited socialism/communism by that point - it's basic geology.

It seems to me that quite a lot of people want flies and that's why quite a lot of resources are put into that type of shit.

I was trying to explain to this dude in the pub - who didn't understand my explanation that I don't have a hairstyle - that I thought vanity was a waste of resources, and he looked at me like: "but everyone wants to look good, right?" He was confused. I was confused.

I'm confused, how does any of this help me determine whether that dude is a skilled lover or not?

I disagree that it's conservative. It's nazi/ authoritarian/radical. For 50 odd years afer ww2 the cons knew this was a daft tactic. Prior to that (well prior to 1790 ish ) con/feudal/landowners managed their serfs and peasants, they didn't want infighting. (outfighting, thats a different , maybe lucrative albeit lottery).

Cons are just common or garden cunts. populists are serious, they can mobilise labour .

The traditional cons wil ride the wave because they have no choice and no friends. until they realise they'll be expropriated eventually, which the nazis won't do until after they have critical mass. Fucking con Niemollers

cheap and easy.

It's many thousands of years of solar power , concentated in to a storable, portable and fairly accessible and transmutable form.

Countries don't "generate" coal and oil, they suck it out of the ground. It was generated by thousands to millions of years of life and accumulated geological processes.

I heard that the higher the data density on DVD and BR means the higher the failure rate. Though i have no real evidence of that myself.

Maybe one or two bits corrupted here or there will only cause some unnoticeable artefacts anyway.

I think it's vehicle count not passenger count.

Many buses in CoL will carry 50+ people at peak times so probably move more people than cars or bikes.

But walking was the most common by a fair bit, just not in that graph.

Look up figure 5 and you'll see how people really get around in The City of London. They walk from station to office.

I don't want them to wait 'til death. The death isn't important the land ownership reform is.

 

HM Senior Coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley:

"The current system for 'ensuring' drivers meet the visual legal standards is ineffective, unsafe and unfit to meet the needs of society as evidenced by the deaths of Marie Cunningham, Grace Foulds, Anne Ferguson and Peter Westwell where the DVLA continued to provide licences to drivers who had failed to meet the legal sight requirements."

Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, representing the families of Mrs Cunningham, Mrs Foulds and Mr Westwell, said loop holes that are available for drivers who want to evade reporting on their eyesight are "jaw-dropping".

Rob Heard, chairman of the Older Drivers' Forum, warned that more people would die if changes were not made soon.
