Sure, but for an shielded undersea line with at most two queues, neither are particularly concerning for this use case.

They don't sell psilocybin kits or spores, but you can buy the spores legally elsewhere and use their sterilized grain substrate for inoculation. Or just do /r/unclebens tek.

Copper is capable of both analog and digital communications and is much cheaper to lay and maintain. Insane fiber bandwidths aren't necessary for a single-use line.

Does it feel strange to anybody else having a paywalled publication self-posting and promoting their own articles on here?

A direct dedicated line can be far more secure than communication over the internet.

If anybody is looking for a no-hassle/gift version of this, a company by me sells these boxes that are really neat and require no work.

While Viking settlement was indeed established in the 9th century, there's evidence of settlements in that area going back to the Mesolithic. Ptolemy wrote of a city in that spot in 140CE.

You are absolutely right that Dublin didn't become a major slaving port until Viking controlled Dublin.

I know, glad that whole RGB fad died out.

There's an old William Osman video where he attempts to make a record with his laser cutter and it does sound horrifying.

Or if it's a dense city with a lot of pedestrian traffic, use raised scaffolding when nothing is going on at ground level to let pedestrians pass underneath.

It's more expensive, and introduces liability, so nobody does it in cities where it isn't enforced.

Monroe Superintendent gossip? As a former student there, please allow me to share this gem from the last crazy superintendent when I was a student.

I'm surprised you've never heard of them. Newark has loved to brag about them for the past decade. Also pre-covid they did used to run tours and tastings pretty often. Not sure if any schools took them up on that.

Always funny how they throw out the coke and heroin first, and then sheepishly offer weed when you refuse.

Jeez, one of these days Netflix is going to knock on my door asking to make an 8 episode miniseries on the prodigious shits I take every Friday.

Pretty barely visible. What other environmental impact? Is lots of clean energy allowing us to reduce reliance on carbon emissions really 'very very little benefit'?

They're much less common than in women's.

I miss the old "eat this XXXL pizza and get 50% off pizza for life" promotions.

I think the push for coal in the US and Germany and China would have been a better example.

Not to defend Japan but it is worth noting that the populations and species of whales Japan hunts aren't in danger and their whaling doesn't appear to be impacting that species conservation significantly(their tuna fishing is a much bigger concern in that manner). But yeah, we all agreed to stop with that shit, get on board Japan it hasn't even been economical for decades.

That's true. Though new versions of Windows have a Linux subsystems(WSL) that does use Unix. Linux, Android, and MacOS are all unix based, so pretty much everything aside from windows.

Yeah I'd assumed it would be twice the price for half the quality which tends to be the standard for US sushi.

I was just talking about this today to a friend of mine. I'm a pretty well traveled dude, I've lived in some of the most infamously dangerous cities in America. I've done a bit of adrenaline junkie sports.

I have never felt more unsafe, or feared more for my life than when driving on Wisconsin roads at night.

Kura Sushi is like the kaitenzushi chain in Japan. Many a drunk night spent there. Hope they have the little gatchapon game every 10 plates too.

NY and NJ have tax revenue sharing systems in place for residents of one who work in the other. The fact that you didn't know that, or understand that income tax is trivial compared to property and corporate and industry make it clear you don't have any idea how the state budget operates.

The labels are relevant because suburban areas are bedroom communities without industry of any kind(and we're not just talking about north jersey), which is why they languish in terms of tax revenue. And the tax dynamics with NYC are complex, but still generate significant revenue for the state, but it's irrelevant to the conversation because we're talking about NJ cities.

While the population density of NJ is quite high, it's because our cities are some of the densest in the world. AND they have significant industry of all kinds, making them produce tax revenue orders of magnitude higher than suburban areas.

Anything at all that would make you think that? Are the suburbs of NJ suddenly massive financial or industrial centers? Did their infrastructure suddenly become an order of magnitude cheaper? NJ is the most heavily urbanized state in the country with the highest infrastructure costs, the dynamic holds more true here than anywhere else.
