Thanks for the response! Definitely fair that the OP had the assumption of America-centric or at least credit card specific.

As to the scam, the unfortunate reality is that the price is already higher to account for fees, and it makes no difference if you pay cash or card. So Americans have the choice to either pay cash or pay card with cash back, even if the price is the same. Also there are better protections in the states for credit card purchases than debit card purchases, so there’s an advantage there as well.

I’m curious about what you mean by credit card scam, in this context. Care to elaborate?

I also self host FreshRSS. Was super easy to setup. I don’t expose it, so when away from home I use wire guard to connect to my home network.

Isn’t Syncthing for Android getting sundowned?

It’s often covered under obscenity and sex offender laws, though.

I’ve usually seen NMN used for no middle name.

Is it really that shocking that a woman wouldn’t want to be called girl or child? Sure, boy is still used. But in your post you used man, not boy. I’d say an easy rule is if you’d use the word man in a sentence, don’t use the word girl.

Yeah, but not sure if it’s life before death. Seems like death might come quickly.

Not always

Ships absolutely practice turning everything off.

Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.

Ah, I think I misunderstood the conversation, then. I apologize for that. I was considering quantum sensors and other quantum computer adjacent technologies, I suppose. Not just the classic idea of a quantum computer/showing quantum supremacy.

I appreciate the conversation, but it does seem like you’re dismissing everything to fit with your narrative. Quantum computing is absolutely a new and emerging field, I was just trying to showcase that it’s farther than 21 divided by 7. From wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetocardiography, MCGs are pretty much by definition a quantum sensor. The technical aspects of the paper linked goes in to how their device is different and why it does not require cryogenic cooling.

Looks like they do! I’d only heard about them in passing, but here’s an article: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/16/5402

Not the one I was thinking about. Sandbox AQ is the one that came to mind.

Sandbox AQ is one I’ve heard about. Pretty sure they are at least at the prototype stage.

That’s not entirely true. There are companies right now with prototypes solving real world problems.

Fourth not OP. Wear them in my work boots every day, even when it’s hot as shit.

While I love this film, I feel like a sequel would just kinda ruin the ending.

Gotta be HBO though. For reasons. Otherwise I can’t grok it.

I think they are making an Eragon adaptation (for the first time, of course). I think Disney+ is making a series, similar to them restarting Percy Jackson.
