Another commenter believes, in Romance languages, that the "-a" feminine gendered suffix is diminutive compared to "-o" masculine or neuter suffixes, but that is not true. Not for Latin, or Spanish or Italian or even Greek.

In high school, we referred to our teachers by honorific and surname, and we were also addressed by surname, even by our peers.

When I rewatched the Harry Potter film series this year, I began paying attention to how Harry was addressed. Draco Malfoy called him "Potter". So did many teachers, "Mr Potter". He who must not be named called him "Harry" and many epithets like "the boy who lived". Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore, at least in private, called him "Harry" all the time.

This is especially interesting, because "Potter" is a homophone with the Latin Pater, meaning "Father".

The interesting assertions here are that NASA and the Soviets didn't spend money to develop the Fisher Space Pen or its special ink, but they procured it once it was being manufactured.

And that both NASA and the Soviets had initially used pencils, with their associated hazards. Every time I read that line "Soviets used a pencil" I experience a vivid mental picture of me as an astronaut, pressing the surface so hard that the lead breaks, and little bits drift around in microgravity. Don't get me started on mechanical pencils.

But I did own a Space Pen, and I used it often during high school, and it wrote very well in Earth gravity. Today, I use Pilot G2 gel rollerball, 0.7mm in black or blue inks. Accept no substitutes!

  GUI64 does not use the VIC-II’s bitmap graphics mode, but operates in text mode. GUI64 is therefore character set–based... Strictly speaking, GUI64 should therefore be considered not a GUI, but a TUI (Text User Interface).

  Currently, there are no applications for GUI64. 

I never ran GEOS. I saw it advertised, and it seemed fascinating, but perhaps "too early". I had become fluent in BASIC and proficient at the command line. For me, time spent on the Commodore 64 was programming, or in a game or application, rather than pushing files/objects around on the desktop.

  The telescope had three radar transmitters, with effective isotropic radiated powers (EIRPs) of 22 TW (continuous) at 2380 MHz,[12] 3.2 TW (pulse peak) at 430 MHz, and 200 MW at 47 MHz,[13] as well as an ionospheric modification facility operating at 5.1 and 8.175 MHz.[14]

It could track celestial positions for about 2.6 hours.

Think about a radar round-trip of 2×12 light-hours; that is 86.57 AU, twice the distance from us to Pluto. Also, the Earth orbits the Sun aside from merely rotating. That radar round-trip would be one cosmic boomerang, looking at nearly nothing.

  Time spent donning and doffing protective gear is time spent "changing clothes," so the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 allows unions and employers to agree that workers will not be paid for that time.

The reason I was looking for this paper is because of those frozen burrito instructions which say to wrap in a paper towel. But if the burrito is defrosted, the tortilla is quite sticky, and heating in the microwave welds it to the paper. The deli paper did not solve this issue, but at least the "dry wax" is microwave-safe.

The screen would snap down for carrying, and it was reflected for viewing in a mirror, so it required a strong light from above to shine through the LCD panel. There was an accessory backlight with its own batteries to snap on top.

It had a pocket-size form factor, and I carried it around to Disneyland so we could watch TV while we waited in line, and it could receive any OTA TV channel in VHF or UHF.

I kind of miss that little guy!

Their testing on the enterprise-class equipment shows the difference that NTP makes, and with enterprise-class equipment comes wider deployment and more powerful models.

But most of the consumer units would not have this stuff. Surely, the manuals would describe how to set it up.

Now, present the same list to an I.T. professional with the same questions. Perhaps make sure they are not carrying any weapons before you try.

This is just one reason why visual inspection of URLs and "hover over this link" haven't been useful defenses for a long time.

For example, on Android 17, there is Data Saver mode. Your per-app settings can control mobile data usage, in the background, or unlimited. Your WiFi networks can be individually labeled as metered, non-metered, or automatic. In the YouTube app, there are settings for your video quality, and how to adjust that quality based on your connection, if it is mobile data, or metered WiFi. YouTube Music has its own settings, and since it handles podcasts, you can opt out of video entirely.

Furthermore, there is monitoring of data usage. You can set the time period: for example, my mobile data metering resets on the 9th of the month. You can see usage for each app during that time period, split out between mobile and non-mobile data. I can set a warning threshold and a hard limit for mobile data usage.

I only use free LLMs, and not very much. I've only reached a limit once. But I do see that they have indicators or meters for usage. So perhaps check again, look harder, maybe ask your LLM how you can monitor and restrict token usage.

There is no denying that energy was induced because of their placement at the focal length of the dish, but that was incidental to their purpose. The bundles of wires were spirally bound around a core. There were certainly ground connections and lightning arrestors involved. The EM effects and properties are discussed on pp 40–47 of the report.

Everyone* knows about the Kuiper Belt, of course, but we are looking into at least two other “reservoirs” of TNOs between those named ones.
