Not the morning pages!! 📟💥

No. They will just use the $10 card and leave. They will prey on the fact that "get a gift card for your computer troubles" is something a legitimate company has done.

Buy a $10 Xbox gift card and send us the code so that we can activate it. Then you get back to the shop and get $20 in cash - $10 for returning the card and $10 from us. We'll pay the tax, too.

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom

The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term "open source".

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.

...and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky

A solar or lunar eclipse?

Nah, the F is displayed while counting down the time of an active exercise period, while C is displayed when counting down the time of a resting period

I asked ChatGPT and it said it stood for Custom (set your own timing program) and Free (workout as you wish and press a button to record the times for later use). Not a bad idea but I had told it F is for the active period and C is for the resting period, so it is obviously wrong. Another wording gave me Focus / EFfort and Cool-down / Catch your breath.

I tried the Ecosia AI chat too, pasting the post title and it replied with Focus and Catch your breath.

I wish I had your research skills. Where does it even say that?

The letters may have been chosen for early, limited 7-segment display drivers, such as a hex-to-7seg decoder. However, these fell out of use when transistors were no longer expensive in the 1990s and it made more sense to minimize the number of chips rather than each chip's complexity, so the main microcontroller used 14 GPIO pins or a single external LED driver to multiplex all 6 digits. Before the 1990s, it probably did not make sense to make this device digital at all, I think gyms would just use analog clocks with marked dials.

Areas with loam touch all three sides. So... Some kind of loam exists without sand, some without clay and some without silt. I am not a soil scientist but I'd guess that any substance that contains neither is a kind of loam.

First sentence of my post, for this very reason – they own the franchise, after all. The law may also change the other way but that's very unlikely to happen in the US within 50 years.

I wonder if they could develop a system of draconian DRM (only their own theatres with metal detectors, personalized online streams...) and mildly edit movies every few decades so that they can destroy the original and effectively renew copyright. The gaming industry’s always-online DRM makes nuking a release possible but copyright lasts for about 20 console generations (we’ve only had 8 so far!) so they don't even have to do that.
