This lacks wheels, so by definition it shouldn't be considered a "motorbike" or a "bike" by itself. It's a hoverbike.

The article states that it "runs on electricity", which feels a little misleading because it is powered by both batteries and an internal combustion engine.

Anyway, it's an interesting product, but with as loud as these very likely are I dread the idea of them screaming through residential areas.

This is solid advice if you know for certain that the person doesn't want you in their life any longer.

Problem is, sometimes it's rather difficult to determine whether or not that's legitimately the case; maybe they are depressed or have other mental health issues going on, maybe they've got a jealous partner, maybe they just got really busy with other stuff, etc. I've got friends where we might not communicate for a year or more at a time, and there have been other times where I legitimately thought someone wanted me out of their life only to find out later that was certainly not the case and was due to circumstances beyond their control.

All I'm saying is just be cautious when using this approach. People have deleted me out of their life because they assumed that I was not interested in being friends, just because I hadn't reached out to them specifically in X number of days.

However, if someone clearly communicates to you that they no longer want you in their life, by all means respect their choice and cut ties. It can be difficult and upsetting especially if you care about the person, but unfortunately it can happen and it's best to respect their wishes.

I was only able to achieve a stable 4.8 GHz on my 2600k (with custom water cooling at that), but was rock solid at 4.8 GHz even when running stress tests for days at a time. I did get it up to 5.0 GHz, but it'd blue screen after just a few minutes. lol

Guacamole makes me gag, so I'm sticking with the salsa

We might be able to slow, stop, or even reverse the aging process at some point, but that would not make a person truly immortal. If we could end aging then people could become "ageless" and remain at the same biological age; so in effect someone could stay 28 years old for their entire life, but their body would be no different from a 28 year old right now, meaning that an ageless person would still need to eat, they could get diseases, die from accidents, etc.

To achieve what you are describing would require technology that is WELL outside our capabilities, and even if we had some sort of rapid automated body repair systems those would still have limitations. However, if we become sufficiently clever to achieve the sort of immortality that you describe, then chances are we'd include an "off" switch.

Updates can be worth installing if they solve problems that the TV has (which can be numerous and can vary substantially between models). The documentation associated with a given update should detail what changes it makes and/or problems it corrects.

If the TV is Internet connected then you definitely want to install updates regularly, as they might patch security vulnerabilities.

I genuinely like the art piece and your use of color. However, it did leave me a bit confused after attempting to discover hidden references to Ouroboros and the associated mythology, which distracted me from the actual art.

It's smiling because it's about to burb out a massive CME directly at our collective faces.

That's fair; it's certainly expensive when compared to ground-based broadband.

Compared to other satellite Internet services I've used it's substantially faster and less expensive, plus not having a data cap is a huge bonus.

The RV dish is currently the same one as the residential dish, and costs $599. The only $2500 dish that's currently available is the "business" version. I'm guessing the $2500 "RV" dish is the upcoming one that can work while moving. The price difference is $20 a month, but RV users are first to get throttled if there's insufficient capacity in a given area.

Not the OP, but I had a cable modem in '98. I believe that it was 1.5 mbps down and 256 kbps up, and I think it cost ~$50 a month (which was a steal because it meant being able to get rid of a second phone line that had been dedicated to Internet use). I got super lucky though, because it turned out the local cable company used that very rural area as a testing ground for new equipment (I heard they did so there due to the harsh weather). Some people in that same area were able to get cable modems as early as '96.

It is not overpriced if you are one of the people that the service is intended for. I have Starlink myself because the only other Internet option in my area is dial-up or other satellite Internet providers (which are far more expensive than Starlink).

According to Starlink's website the RV dish costs $599, which is the same cost as the residential dish. As far as I know, the residential dish can be used with the RV plan and vice versa, because it's the same hardware.

Currently the only $2500 dish available is for the "business" plan. Starlink will be offering a new RV dish that can be used while in transit, which I suspect is where the $2500 number is coming from. The current $599 hardware should still work, albeit while stationary.

What I've used in the past when renting to run Ethernet up a flight of stairs and down a hallway was a single cable "wiremold" that ran along the top of the floor trim that made it almost unnoticeable. Another time I also used wiremold, but didn't want to spend a bunch of money so I just cut it into 6" strips and only applied them where the cable started to become not straight (ish). Also, some wiremolds have a weak peel and stick adhesive on them, that shouldn't damage paint when removed.
