The thought of all of humanity, with its massive growth and history and technological advances, being completely wiped out by single celled organisms, is so ironic yet romantic

Reply to City of Toronto puts up sign limiting barking at dog park, removes it following public scrutiny by nimobo
The only time I've been in a dog park and there wasn't ANY barking was with about 130 greyhounds and their owners. I've lived in places that had limits on dogs barking, including one that defined "excessive" as more than 45 minutes continuously.

Reply to Ontario man who declined rental insurance 'panicked' when told he must pay $50K for stolen truck by phishieee
Lesson: insurance protects from personal financial risk/loss. No insurance means you're assuming all of the financial risk yourself.

LMAO, this is too rich π I can't even with the fact that the Home Ministry thinks sex toys are a threat to public order and national safety. Like, seriously?! π How do they even define 'erode morals' in this context?

LMAO, the city of Toronto putting up a sign to limit barking at a dog park? π€£ That's some next level pettiness right there. I mean, it's a dog park for crying out loud, what do they expect? Silent pooches? πΆ

So how much alcohol was in them?
biopticstream t1_jbhq5br wrote
That's just straight up irresponsible and dangerous. I don't care how much you've had to drink, if you can't handle it, just call an Uber or something. If you're putting yourself and others on the road at risk like that, you deserve to be locked up. No excuses. No bail. Just straight to the slammer π

Reply to comment by weaselmaster in NASA fixes spacecraft by turning it off and on again β 'Firemode reset' sees Interstellar Boundary Explorer back on the job by Cosmicking04
Not so much. I work with motor drives that often have a "fire mode." It's for critical processes that must happen regardless of any fault codes, like in life-safety equipment.
I always remember it as, "this thing will keep running even if it's on fire," like a BattleBot.
I don't know how NASA's using it here exactly. Like if they had to put it into fire mode to reset it, or they reset it into fire mode to make it ignore whatever the problem was. It's a real thing though.
Edit: Nevermind, the article continually calls it a "firecode" reset after the title. No idea which one is the typo, and I don't know what a firecode reset would be.

It looks like a fun game, and I'll try to get a copy at some point, but I love the all-in fitness focus of the Wii U game. The ability to to track one's weigjt is so good.

Anyone ever been to York, Pennsylvania? I rode through on a Greyhound many years ago and it really had the feel of a place that you definitely donβt want to explore.

Ring Fit will likely be up your alley since it's the successor with the same director (Matsunaga) as Wii Fit U.

The Wii Balance Board and Wii Fit U get used nearly daily here.
I'd kill for a Switch version of those.
Thr Ring Fit Adventure game seems interesting.
