Technically, Caliphate. Calafia was the queen of the made up kingdom of California in a 16th century novel. The name comes from there.

The name of Calafia was likely formed from the Arabic word khalifa (religious state leader) that is known as caliph in English and califa in Spanish.

Windsurf boards and razor blades? Yes Bic makes those.

“Maybe we can meetup tomorrow? And I’d love to know what you want to do.”

Can be split up into two sentences but sometimes, when spoken, is said as a continuous sentence.

That is a thing? Restaurant reservation scalping ? Who is the market for that? I can buy restaurant reservations on eBay now?

Absolutely not. The semblance of authority from the crew prevents the worst people from showing their true selves. I would just expect the worse from my fellow travelers and would rather not have to deal with them.

What are your thoughts on doing a Nazi salute when seeing a cybertruck? Is it okay because we are mocking them? Or is it just never okay to do a Nazi salute?

And Guadeloupe and Martinique

Clipperton and St Pierre and Miquelon are just there, up for grabs.

Something happened when they moved to the vslam (i.e camera mapping) robots which made the software much harder to hack… you used to be able to use a serial cable to program them.

I assume this will brick all Roombas past the 800 series. All the scheduling, advanced mapping features etc are hosted on AWS. You’ll be able to press clean to start but that’s pretty much it… That’s unless they open up their software which they probably won’t

This. I know someone who used to work there. They wouldn’t enforce the patents in China to the point where you could drop in Roomba subassemblies in competitor robots and they would still work…

Maybe overnext the same as overmorrow? Pennext sounds like some annoying AI scam company.

Nexter “Take the nexter exit” It’s not this one, it’s the following one. That way we can use next for the next exit (yes this one that’s coming up)

Just got a framework laptop and I’m really happy

What happens if lemmy.world admin forces the hand of the mods of [email protected] community to ban such content and then defederate from the madeupinstance.net where the new luigi community is hosted? Isn’t that the same problem as reddit? Lemmy.world users would not be able to see the luigi community at that point right?

Epimetheus. High quality history videos on past and current civilizations. His hand drawn art is amazing too, he tries to stay very historically accurate. No theatrical narration, just a broad view of history. My favorite channel by far.

Dr Becky. Very very good science communication on astronomy and cosmology. She always sources the papers she mentions and excels at making you understand basic astrophysics. Best explanations of a very hard topic.

Angela Collier, another science communication more focused on physics and the epistemology of the field. I love her personal perspective on all the drama in physics (e.g. why Feinman is overhyped, why it’s still such a terribly sexist field etc.) though she makes it clear that it’s her channel and her opinions. Much more detailed explanations of physics but a little harder to understand.

City Nerd data driven showcase on why cars are bad for cities, usually in a top 10 of cities ranked by some metric of transportation.

I think he truly deeply wants to go to Mars. It’s his dream. His one mission. His destiny. I think he actually believes he is the only person that will be able to get people there. In his head, he’s space Jesus. Everyone else is an NPC. He sees government, the left, regulations, workers rights every thing as a barrier for him to move along on his goal. He’s breaking everything appart to build himself a runway. He’s doing one last grift, one last pump and dump to say goodbye and take off. He doesn’t care if the US doesn’t exist in 50 years since he will be off planet.

Who would have guessed the armored tesla trucks have armor to protect whatever is outside of the tesla
