“Bare Metal Linux”. I like it!

searx is around for a couple of years now.

Actually no. A transsternal access to the heart is impossible with stone tools, even obsidian. Middle american ritual sacrifices were performed transphrenic – they had less problems with the complications of that access as they didn’t intend their victim to survive, in contrast to — most — modern surgeons.

Yes. It has a reduced tax, thoough.

Thank you. So it’s not just a doorbell, rather a remote controlled surveillance and communication system. That is a bit more complicated than a bell at the door.

No tax on food? That’s nice, we should copy this.

Is $1.43 the complete tax? If so — how is your government financed? All countries I know of add a VAT of ~ 20 %.

Why would you need any software, server or phone for a simple door bell?

What is RCS?

Oh no, 230 years. 1866 was just the first time the Senate was involved, as far as I know.

1866

I don’t know about the US, but in Germany, by using a vending machine, you are implicitely and automatically consenting with the ToS of the vendor by your action.

In the article is a sound explanation: the machine is activated by detecting a human face looking at the display.

If this face recognition software only decides “face” or “not face” and does not store any data, I’m pretty sure this setup will be compatible with any data protection law.

OTOH they claim that these machines provide statistics about age and gender of customers. So they are obviously recognising more than just “face yes”. Still – if the data stored is just a statistics on age and gender and no personalised data, I’m pretty sure it still complies even with 1920s data protection habits.

I’m pretty sure that this would be GDPR conform, too, as long as the customer is informed, e.g. by including this info in the terms of service.

One of two big cutting boards that are the same size. The second largest would be “das zweitgrößte”.

In an everyday colloquial way.

The directional particel “hin” is a commonly used word in German without an exact equivalent in English. “thither” is the best approximation I could find, though it’s usage is completely different, of course.

The spelling “tho” was commonly used back at least in North American informal writing in the 1980s already, and was proposed as a shorthand brief already by Thomas Shelton in his 1626 Tachygraphy. Predating cell phones a bit.

linguistic convention, innit?

Depends on where you are in the world.

They should never have been consumed bitter. When they are frozen the bitter substance is destroyed. In former times this implied being harvested only after the first night frosts in autumn, never before. Nowadays there might be some more artificial ways to achieve the same result more reliable. (Perhaps by breeding, too, I’m not sure about this part.)

Taste changes with age, too. The younger, the sweeter and the older, the bitterer people prefer.

US made software rules the world.
