Only if you ignore WHY it has the ability to do that. The reason is the hydroelectric power plant, or more specifically the construction of the plant, required that they divert the falls for a couple years a LONG time ago. They have maintained the capacity to divert the flow of the river to ensure that they are able to perform maintenance on the plant and the various national park infrastructures around the falls. The seasonal diversions are usually to perform said maintenance as well as to protect parts of the power plant from freezing. It is actually one of the great engineering marvals of the early 20th century.

They just need to be sure to let them know that this is a 10 day cease-protest trial period and that after that 10 days is up they will be moving the protest to the front lawns of the board of trustees.

“A company should be able to decide not to do business with individuals for ideological reasons.”

Twitter, Facebook, etc. start filtering misinformation and banning offenders.

“Mah freedoms are being infringed!”

Gotta love this shit. Conservatives/companies: “Let the market decide!” The market: “We are tired of you cramming ads down our throats and fundamentally do not want it and will actively fight you on it.” Companies: “Waaaaaa, they are fighting us.”

I had some dude here trying to tell me, a mathematician and data scientist who is developing AIs for fun and is a holder of an MA in Visual Effects specializing in procedural design, who has worked on algorithmic video game development, what AIs are or are going to be capable of in procedural/generative/algorithmic game design “because he has played a lot of games” and argued for days with me, cherry-picking everything I wrote attempting to use my words refuting him to support his arguments.

Just… Infuriating.

Bonus, it starts fully charged since the weight is inserted at the apex of the battery instead of having to be lifted.

TIL that # is called an “octothorpe”. Thank you kind stranger.

I think they spelled “refugees” wrong. /s

Oh, I don’t need them personally. I work from home and make enough that my wife doesn’t have to (barely, but she has health issues that make normal employment impossible, especially with the changes to ADA in recent years). We are able to cook meals just fine. I was merely coming to the defense of those who were not able to defend themselves and pointing out some logical, logistical, and epistemological errors/falacies in your argument.

All that said, thanks for the offers though and I hope someone who is struggling takes you up on it.

50% of your daily sodium intake and really expensive pee does not sound all that smart to me. Not saying it is untenable, just not really all that healthy. To make it healthy you would have to get the most expensive noodles, Whey protein powder, and something other than a multivitamin as most of the content of those are water soluble which means that the excessive amounts you are ingesting are not retained by your body. If you were to cut it in half and take them half a day apart you would get more mileage out of it.

The issue is that it wasn’t about saving money, it was about saving time without destroying your finances. Not that I am one, but I can empathize with a single parent working two part-time jobs for 12 hours/day, both at minimum wage, being exhausted and knowing she has kids to feed at home but absolutely 0 energy or effort left to prepare a meal. Pulling through a fast food place and picking up some burgers or maybe a happy meal to see the smile on his/her kid’s face when they see the bag/box after a long day missing them. Prioritizing spending what little energy and time s/he has left on actually spending time with the kid.

Please remember that there are different kinds of poor. Single-poor or college-poor are very different than single-parent poor or 2-income-family-but-still-worried-about-paying-rent poor.

Lol, thanks. It was late.

A. If you haven’t played ΔV, do it. One of the most amazing games out there imho. So good in fact that I just went to find a Δ on the internet so I could use it and not disrespect the dev and the game. B. He is such an amazing dude. I don’t know him personally, but I do know that when Ukraine was invaded he made the game free for months on Steam so people in Ukraine could get it and have something too distract themselves from the conflict. A+ move in my book right there. I had already bought the game at that point, but I wish I could buy it again just to support him further. C. Reading this almost makes me think it would be a good tactical move to offer early access games at a steep discount on Linux if it has this great of an effect. Pay back the “free” QA kindness of the community.

Lol, my power supply on my desktop died earlier this year and I work from home, so I had to come up with something fast. Booted up my Raspberry Pi and connected it to my monitor, ran it as my Linux desktop for 3 days while I waited for the replacement. Did everything I needed and was able to handle my browser games to boot.
