True, though you’ll probably be recorded by security cameras if you buy it in a physical store.

You don’t have to register it with the FAA; you’re already going to murder someone, who cares if you break a few more laws?

The last point assumes someone’s recording the wireless activity of the drone in the moments before the explosion, which I think is pretty unlikely. And the internals of the drone should be destroyed by the explosion, rendering it practically impossible to extract any identifying information other than the general drone model.

And even if all wireless traffic is being recorded and triangulated, pick a busy place and you’re just one guy on your phone in a crowd of thousands. You can also order the drone anonymously months ahead of time and pick it up somewhere with poor security camera coverage to all but ensure there’s no record linking it to you.

Now here’s a thought… What about using drones to “take care of” a CEO? The risk of being caught would be lower, as you can be located hundreds of meters away or more. It’s also relatively easy to acquire a drone, and you can make explosives with stuff you can buy at the hardware store.

(Disclaimer: This is just a thought experiment, I’m not dumb enough to try this, don’t worry FBI :3)

At the expense of an exciting new array of problems!

90% of problem solving is just Googling stuff and screwing with settings, which isn’t particularly Linux specific.

$12 million per year is $5769/hour, assuming a 40 hour work week.

“/dev/sdb? It’s sdb? With a B? Yep that’s the flash drive. Just type it in… of=/dev/sd what was the letter again? B? Alright, /dev/sdb. Double check with lsblk, yep that’s the small disk. Are my backups working properly? Alright here goes nothing… <enter>”

Why is this tagged Spanish?

Microplastics are so last century, all the cool kids these days have macroplastics.

Yep, just an example of how names don’t necessarily correspond to the actual dimensions.

It’s not really about “attracting” asteroids, it’s more about their orbital trajectory happening to intersect the Earth’s at the right time. I think the Moon’s gravity is about as likely to redirect an asteroid towards the Earth as it is away, but the Moon also physically intercepts some asteroids, so the net effect would be a slight decrease in Earthly asteroid impacts.

Yeah, 2x4s aren’t even 2"x4" anymore, more like 1.5"x3.5", but the name has still stuck.

As an American, I use the metric system whenever possible. As of more recently, it’s usually taught in schools, as well as used ubiquitously in science. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US switches to primarily using the metric system in the next few decades.

Photovoltaics have left the chat.

Got too distracted by the random lowercased "i"s to actually read the comic.

Yeah, it’s near the edge for sure but the Earth is still clearly above the horizon.

Just make sure the exponential growth is faster than Moore’s law, or they might never notice it.

Oh well boots up Minecraft singleplayer.

Presenting evidence of a player cheating or not cheating in any form will be considered an attempt to sway the vote and will result in a permaban from the league.

…What? In what world do you not only ban people by public vote without evidence, but actively disallow evidence being shared?
