“Kos” is short for Markos. But it’s better to make assumptions than to spend a moment actually checking anything.

One candidate is 78 years old, types in all-caps, and forgets what he was saying halfway through a sentence. For my money, I think it’s a fair bet that the difference between a PDF and a native MS Word file eludes them.
Come to think of it, a regular client of Epstein’s teenage human trafficking ring probably know more about ‘PDF files’ (ahem) than most of us.
This was suspected since Bentley’s death back in April. I guess if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
You are defending the murder of children.
They’re both men, but neither of them are Men.
Its functionality to integrate with whatever LLM you use - local or SAAS. I can’t say I’m excited about the feature, but I think it’s also a bit silly that people are angry about it (though I take the point about development priority).
It’s healthy for Firefox’s market share to keep feature parity with Edge and other browsers that have the same function but with a manufacturer-pushed service.

Why is the AP writing as if their audience are children? I understand it from the Mirror.
The excerpt from Peter Brannen’s 2017 book The Ends of the World, to save a click through to Twitter:
“The meteorite itself was so massive that it didn’t notice any atmosphere whatsoever,” said Rebolledo, “It was traveling 20 to 40 kilometers per second, 10 kilometers-probably 14 kilometers-wide, pushing the atmosphere and building such incredible pressure that the ocean in front of it just went away.”
These numbers are precise without usefully conveying the scale of the calam-ity. What they mean is that a rock larger than Mount Everest hit planet Earth traveling twenty times faster than a bullet. This is so fast that it would have traversed the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 to the ground in 0.3 seconds. The asteroid itself was so large that, even at the moment of impact, the top of it might have still towered more than a mile above the cruising altitude of a 747. In its nearly instantaneous descent, it compressed the air below it so violently that it briefly became several times hotter than the surface of the sun.
“The pressure of the atmosphere in front of the asteroid started excavating the crater before it even got there,” Rebolledo said. “Then, when the meteorite touched ground zero, it was totally intact. It was so massive that the atmosphere didn’t even make a scratch on it.”
Unlike the typical Hollywood CGI depictions of asteroid impacts, where an extraterrestrial charcoal briquette gently smolders across the sky, in the Yucatán it would have been a pleasant day one second and the world was already over by the next. As the asteroid collided with the earth, in the sky above it where there should have been air, the rock had punched a hole of outer space vacuum in the atmosphere. As the heavens rushed in to close this hole, enormous volumes of earth were expelled into orbit and beyond all within a second or two of impact.
“So there’s probably little bits of dinosaur bone up on the moon?” I asked.
“Yeah, probably.”
Quis lautus ipsos lavat?
Good point - I’m going by feedback from friends locally who have it, but I’m actually not sure whether it comes down to Openreach. It’s the ISP themselves that are installing the home connections, though (presumably to the cabinet, much like the existing copper?).
I have the opposite problem. There’s just one ISP offering FTTP under the scheme where I am, and although the prices are good, their uptime and customer support are universally derided as terrible, and they only offer long-term contracts. I’m sticking with FTTC for now.
Also Œ, Ȝ, and arguably W and U.
Got a source for that? My understanding was that the Romans based their numerals on the older Etruscan system, in which the V was upside-down and therefore even less hand-shaped.
This is funny, but also, fuck Graham Linehan.
Elena and Nicolae Ceaușescu were more or less equal partners in their despotic role over Romania, until their joint execution in 1989 during the Romanian Revolution.
It’s anglicized from Hebrew בַּיִת (house); there are a bunch of accepted ways to spell it, including “bet” and “bayt” as well.
Crassus’ lost legion is just conjecture, there’s no convincing evidence. It’s a fun thought, though.
I’m all for interesting side quests, but it does hurt immersion a little when High Priest Powervac impresses upon you how urgent it is that you stop The Great Finger Eater and save the galaxy, but you’ve also really got to gather nine forget-me-nots for Widow Stoop and honestly, they’re of equal importance.
