Fridges never die.
  • If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt

    The disk is always encrypted. When data is accessed, it is stored decrypted in RAM. The drive doesn't decrypt when unlocking it and doesn't encrypt when turning it off.

    NNN
  • Honestly I don't understand the whole NNN "challenge". I feel like it would be harder to "nut" (hate that euphemism) every day without fail.

    In a more literal way, I failed NNN already this morning by eating a peanut butter protein bar. Even if you don't count buttered peanuts, it contained chunks of peanuts.

    Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why
  • parents idling a car from house to house instead of parking and walking with their kids

    And they drive like lunatics as well. Lots of them drive at high speeds in the night with kids running around and in a vehicle with poor visibility and don't yield to pedestrians. I saw this one car last night weave through some pedestrians crossing the street. Like c'mon... this isn't North Korea. Let them cross the street

    'Under President Trump's first term, America saw a revitalized interest in space. His administration reignited national efforts to get back to the moon, and push on to Mars — programs that continue today.'

    Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot"
  • I notice nobody has commented on the fact that the driver should've reacted to the deer. It's not Tesla's responsibility to emergency brake, even if that is a feature in the system. Drivers are responsible for their vehicle's movements at the end of the day.

  • I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don't really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren't constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.

    If I am driving on a road, and a flying saucer with a spotlight is hovering ahead waiting to land, do I have to stop in the roadway and yield to them? Or do they have to yield to cars in the road? I checked my states driving manual and they don't mention alien air/spacecraft at all.

    I would guess that the UFO would have the right of way, as traffic would have to eventually stop for them anyways. Should I just stop in the roadway and put my hazards on so the flying saucer pilot is aware I am yielding the right of way to them?
