My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.
Not a battery but sure, that’s what I was suggesting.
So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?
Exactly. I remember early days of smartphones before a lot of the safety precautions we have today were implemented, where we saw tons of videos of batteries spontaneously combusting. They expand, there’s a pop, and then a small burst of flame that will ignite anything it touches, like your pants, tables they’re sitting on while charging, etc. You can get pretty badly burned if this happens while it’s in your pocket.
It’s just that the videos that have come out of these pagers shows an actual explosion, as if they had been packed with C4. Enough to instantly kill some people with them on their person and harm adjacent passerbys.
Seems more like globalism is to blame. They were from a Taiwanese company but manufactured in Hungary.
Guessing the source of the pagers didn’t matter at all and Israel probably intercepted a shipment to plant bombs in them themselves. Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don’t just explode like that. There were bombs put in those pagers, be it by Israel or whoever else, coordinated as a targeted operation.
Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.
During Cerny’s presentation, he specifically talked about the compromise between 60fps performance mode and 30fps graphics modes, so it’s to get 60 fps that people are typically enabling performance mode for.
Could give the justices 18-year terms, with a new justice appointed every 2 years. That way every presidential term gets to appoint 2 new justices, 4 justices if they win a second term.
Impossible, the only appropriate package for our premium scissors is comparably premium clamshell plastic. That you need scissors to open.
It might vary from app to app, but there are usually options to toggle between Local and Everywhere for “All” content, if you want to see just what is on your own instance versus all other instances yours is federated with.
Some instances are defederated from them, which would prevent them from being seen elsewhere.
View desktop site, that gets past this bullshit 9 times out of 10.
Fuck 'em on principle though.
Elon, probably:
“Our bot sometimes spreads misinformation? Unacceptable, we’ll fix it ASAP. The bot should always be spreading misinformation, ‘sometimes’ doesn’t cut it.”
It’s not that confusing. The Activision deal almost didn’t happen following all of the scrutiny Microsoft received from their earlier buying of Bethesda and making all of their new games Xbox exclusives. They squeaked by and sealed the deal in the end, but presumably they don’t want Activision to be their last acquisition ever. To that end, they’re third-partying some of their high-profile-but-probably-not-big-earner games so that when some regulatory agency tries to make that same argument for their next big purchase, they can point at the few titles they published on other consoles as proof that they promise not to be anticompetitive.
They don’t need to satisfy the complainers, since they wouldn’t be paying for Windows anyways. They need to satisfy their corporate partners who will be paying Microsoft for Pro licenses and yearly Office 365 subscriptions.
It’s Microsoft, there’s always something to complain about.
I dunno, most steam power just involves passing an environmental burden down several generations, which seems like a scam to me.
It’s just incentive for developed nations to produce more automated weapons of war.
