Does anyone have experience with the HomePod mini? Likewise, it’s not clear from Apple’s site wether or not a full size HomePod is required to use HomePod minus as part of a full home audio system

Because the government is just a proxy for the will of the people, and the people don't like icky things and thoughts. And mishandled corpses are very icky to see and think about.

It's the same reason the government has a history of getting involved in people's bedrooms.

You referring to the disposal of human bodies as icky makes it clear that you aren’t familiar with the very real public health consequences that can arise from unhygienic disposal

If the title is a question, the answer is no.

That’s likely not the case here, but nice try with the trendy Reddit generalization

Noted management consult Nathan Fielder had an excellent idea to fix the computer repair business by hiring only asexual technicians. At least they wouldn't want to search your files for nudes.

This post’s title does match the article, but is misrepresentative. NASA is testing a plane that has a much quieter sonic boom. As far as I’m aware we don’t know how to not produce a sonic boom at all while going at those speeds (perhaps there will someday be a breakthrough here with sonic waves similar to how electromagnetic waves had the breakthrough of negative refraction indexes via metamaterials).

That is a pretty big assertion to make: that on average, most of the tax collection over the entire US is paid by non-college graduates.
someotherpersom · 3 years ago
That’s not the assertion they made. They’re average person paying tax didn’t graduate college, which is different from saying that most of the tax revenue is collected from non-college graduates.

Maybe I am tinfoiling too hard...

In February this year there was an attack against Vodafone Portugal that brought down their whole mobile networks, 4G, 5G, and fiber, taking them several days to bring everything back up [0]. It also very clearly was a state actor, no threats, no ransom, sophisticated.

Taking down pipelines, taking down comms, taking down transport infrastructure. All within a few months. Always on NATO targets, always localized, never claimed with any statements, always sophisticated enough that it would require knowledgeable state actors.

It all seems like a training ground to find out if they can do it and probably a message to NATO members to not assume they are safe.

Regarding the pipelines, it seems odd to call them a NATO target when they’re largely owned by Russia. Likewise, Russia had more to gain from just holding the gas supply hostage by stopping it, but offering to return the supply were Europe to give in to demands after a cold winter or two. Meanwhile, did you watch the video of Biden threatening to take them out from this past February?
