Hah yeah, I was picturing Dreamweaver before I clicked the link


Yes, let's make them even less efficient.


I tried in Bard just for comparison's sake and it got to 1 while still saying a different number. It's a bit strange, here:

Julia has two sisters!

Here's the reasoning:

1. *Julia's brothers have sisters*: Each of Julia's three brothers has two sisters. This means in total, her brothers have 3 brothers * 2 sisters/brother = 6 sisters.

2. *Those sisters are not additional*: However, it's important to remember that these sisters belong to Julia's brothers, not directly to Julia herself. Julia and her sisters are siblings, not counted among the sisters her brothers have.

3. *Therefore*: Julia has 2 sisters (herself and one other).

So, while Julia's brothers have a total of 6 sisters, only Julia and one other sister are Julia's own sisters.


Is it even possible to homebrew a modern computer chip?


Precursor (https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/precursor) is interesting with its use of an FPGA.


That is pretty interesting, thank you!


by modern do you mean just the capabilities of or include the size of as a requirement? If you accept that a DIY processor can be the size of a room and not be portable, then maybe???? Expecting a DIY to be miniaturized, then hellz to the naw


I wanna say I read about some high schooler recently making _a_ microprocessor in his garage, but I'm guessing it's a very simple one, not what we would consider a modern design.

Also I could be thinking of something else entirely so, before repeating this, you'll probably want to google it.


Nope, even an EUV light source would be close to impossible.


no. and even if it were then are people whose job is to make sure it never really takes off.

why? because power.

what do do about it? get power. how to do that? dunno. If I told you then my own purported (and protracted) attempts would diminish. at least we don't get assasinated to death anymore..... ahahahaha (just our characters, andor career prospects, etc)


Strictly speaking for American contractors, I'm 99% sure that is not true. If you have any contract with the government for space stuff, all of your workers have to be citizens. I'm not even sure they'd let a permanent resident work there because of ITAR.


Permanent residents are considered US persons under ITAR, so provided the company's activities are limited to civilian space projects it isn't an issue. However, if the company has defense contracts and requires employees to obtain a security clearance, that requires citizenship.


Lol. Not even. What about Musk. He is not born in US


He became a citizen


Elon supposedly got full U.S. citizenship after he made connections with the CIA (Michael D. Griffin) although the details aren't really known.


He became a citizen by naturalization in 2002 (the same year he launched SpaceX), not some shadowy conspiracy.


Those aren't mutually exclusive.


That really depends where you live, since this thread is about Colorado:

>The 2021 Colorado average farmland real estate value, a measurement of the value >of all land and buildings on farms, was $1,610 per acre. This is an increase of >1.3 percent from 2020 and 2.5 percent from 2019.

So we're talking $3.2mm today and by what the person you replied to said, I'm betting that his family bought that land a very long time ago.

I'm not a farmer by any means, but I just did a quick search for land in Colorado and I'm even seeing ~2,400 acres on sale for $1.7mm today. There's 15,000 acres listed for $2.1mm. I mention not being a farmer because I don't know if those lands are viable for anything.


Good thing I don't have to listen to you.


Going to throw out a guess and say it's because selling you an item after you called it a bong is admitting that it's indeed a bong.


Ah, that makes sense, question answered.

My second question is that if bongs and water pipes are the same thing, why does the law distinguish their purpose by their name? It seems like given "I want to buy a water pipe for smoking the marijuana" and "I want a bong to smoke tobacco", the second should be legal to request, not both.


intent determines if a thing is illegal. If you intend to use that bong for weed it’s pariphinalia and a felony, if you intend to use it for sheesha it’s fine.

if you intend to use that power tool or crowbar to break into a house it’s “possession of burgular tools” and a felony, if you’re a contractor there to install some drywall it’s not.


_bong_ is considered drug slang, water pipe is not.


I'm pretty sure it's CYA more than anything. The DEA is very aggressive and raids like it's going out of style


Stick, written weirdly.


No, it's Yiddish parlance for an act, gimmick or commonly employed routine.


That makes no sense in this context. Typo or dictation error (stick -> schtick) makes far more sense.


I read it as "stick" as well. Like how people would use a broom stick to press the 'test' button on classic smoke detectors.

(Admittedly, I have no idea if the Nest version has a similar test)


I'd love one gduplessy+lobsters@gmail.com
