I assumed these are small fpv drones? They have kind of broken the traditional warfare dynamics and are more like ground force+ without the traditional air to air susceptibility.

But I like the tannins!

Haha that’s amazing. I hope you enjoyed them, the entire concept of never questioning authority (in all meanings) seems to have pitfalls that have trapped too many of today’s society into polarising views with no concept of nuance. If more people had read these books the world would probably be a better place.

Now let’s just hope Pullman can get the last book out this decade! He better not pull a Robert Jourdan on us!

I assume they disliked the source material. Which is a shame because they are amazing books.

I installed fedora to replace windows on the 31/12/2023. I wasn’t a complete Linux noob by any measure but haven’t run it as a main OS before. Thank you proton for getting me over the edge.

The whole repo situation on fedora is honestly pretty meh, things are out of date or broken too often. Or they just don’t exist. I have put arch on a number of machines since and find it significantly better. My main box will move away from fedora next time I’m enthused to mess with it and this is the primary reason.

“We have film footage where we can see a wave hitting the lock and the anchor drops,”

A wave, at sea? Chance in a million.

I had heard this was happening. Probably relatively low risk for a lot of them, plenty of other private work around. Good on them for pushing back though.

The bus drivers in the ACT also took unprotected action last year. It was not as big of a news story. But it is definitely happening more often. I don’t think any of them lost their jobs.

If the Sydney government (aka NSW government) wants people to work for cheap in Sydney. Perhaps they should have focused on making it a more affordable place to live.

I wonder how quickly they would change tact if the rail drivers just took 1 week of unprotected industrial action. But for them, there is not as much private industry to switch to. They would have to be willing to work in another state in the event that the government fires them.

The “Fair” Work commission just seems more and more like a government anti union tool these days. I think we might see people going back to unprotected industrial action.

Depends if you care about names or about physics. Radio, Infrared Gamma etc are just names we give to various parts of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum. The edges of these definitions are not super well defined. Changing from RF to microwave could be defined at say about 3 GHz, but there is not some clear physical difference between a 2.9 GHz photon and a 3.1 GHz photon other than the frequency change.

The lower limit to the frequency is I guess the inverse of the theoretical age of the universe/2. Something can’t currently be oscillating slower than that.

There are some theories on plank length, quantisation limits, etc that might set some theoretical upper limit of photon frequency. But we don’t appear to be anywhere close to observing such things. We have seen some rather crazy short wavelength particles that we haven’t fully understood.

I feel like this needs to be a PSA pinned to this community. Far too often it would say 2 comments and I would see nothing untill I did this.

You can get close enough in most situations by looking at bolt size, thread pitch and the material. Some level of intuition and knowledge about what each fastener needs to do is also helpful.
