I would love to know how much of a roll that meme played in her choice of degree. Like, in the parallel universe where everything is identical up to this fire, but this picture wasn't taken (ie, the camera didn't work or something), did she still choose that degree?

I mean, OP provided a source link.

In the third paragraph you mentioned "tux" but I'm guessing that you meant "tmux". Just a clarification for readers not familiar with it and want to look it up.

I don't understand.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.

So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can't override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?

On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.

I'm sorry, what? I guess I'll just add this to my list of reasons I'm glad I use Android. JFC.

Don't take it so literally. It's got good alliteration and rolls of the tongue.

A car stopped in front of their home – the same one they’d had for the past 30 years

So, he arrived in the car they've had since he disappeared...

The car allegedly raced off before anyone had a chance to question the driver,

... and then someone stole it????

Edit: Ohhhh, it's the same home they had when he disappeared. 🤦

In this narrow case, it's considered proper/correct to pronounce the "x" like an "sh", which greatly improves the tongue rolling.

I don't think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.

 

Their idea goes something like this, according to a memo shared with Semafor that has been circulated to Democratic donors and bundlers as well as officials within the Biden campaign and administration:

  • Biden would step down as the Democratic nominee in mid-July, and announce the new system, with backing from Vice President Kamala Harris.
  • Potential candidates would have a few days to throw their respective hats in the ring. The Democratic Party then would begin a primary sprint in which the six candidates who receive the most votes from delegates pledge to run positive-only campaigns in the month leading up to the convention.
  • The “blitz primary” would involve weekly forums with each candidate moderated by cultural icons (Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Taylor Swift are among the names floated in the memo) in order to engage voters.
  • The nominee would ultimately be chosen by the delegates using ranked choice voting before the start of the Chicago convention on Aug. 19.
  • It would be announced with plenty of fanfare on the third day of the gathering. The memo imagines the nominee unveiled on stage with Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

According to its authors, the country would be captivated. Donations would pour in. And Biden would be celebrated as a “modern-day George Washington,” the proponents argue.----

I hate to say it, but I’m inclined to think that the Russian government may simply block access to Firefox (and the Firefox addons site).

Probably true, but that's not justification for Mozilla to save them the trouble by doing it for them.

 

A team of Harvard scientists working on a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing.

Researchers working with the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (ONISQ) program say they have created the world’s first quantum circuit using logical quantum bits (qubits). The innovation marks a significant stride towards fault-tolerant quantum computing, promising to revolutionize the design of quantum computer processors.
