No. Eyes don't match. So the whole movie monster fails. The terror of cat's eyes (specifically in the dark, when you can't determine size and distance of the cat) is hard coded into our brains. An evolutionary thing as "cats" for most of the time used to be on the upper end of the food chain and your chances of reproduction massively raised if you were the first one to spot the cat - and run for your live. Just look at the typical cartoon panel symbolizing the dark and dangerous unknown, a dark place with cat's eyes looking out. You'll be subtily terrified - if the shape and proportions match the "cat" scheme.
Tongue is pure muscle and tastes really nice. It's also high quality meat from an animal that's produced for food, so no extra killing or torcherous butchering for it. It just needs to be marinated for a day in salted water to soften before cooking. But since it is -yuck- tongue and needs preparation, mostly the cats get it, nowadays, because it's easier to just mix it into cat food or dog food.

The shit these idiots are addressing by "civilization" is actually culture. Which they don't have or understand. Don't make the mistake of adopting their meaning of "ciivilization" which is a fuzzy description of their idea of an ideal society and has nothing to do with civilization itself.
America certainly has the most diverse kitchen because it's a whole fucking continent. It has grasslands, mountains, coasts, lakes, everything and each microclimate you could imagine. I doubt, OTOH, that you've ever seen a Michelin rated restaurant from the inside.
I have not doubted that. It has, however., nothimg to do with the kind of cuisine you'd attract Michelin's attention with. I also know a bit of the more sophisticated American (regional and international) kitchen and it is, IMIO, much better than most people believe. (Piece of cake, because you can get next to everything there.) However, most people also have no idea what the French kitchen or to some extent the more regional parts of the Italian kitchen (or Basque, or Catalan) might be about. I honestly don't think the US really are playing in that league.
As if this hadn't been obvious the very moment they started connecting their massive amount of same model cameras to servers under their own regime (aka " the cloud"). And as if nobody told you so.
By Merz' standards "squandered" is hell of a statement. He really dared to critisize his American overlords and employers. Actually that's nothing I'd have expected even remotely.
Nothing a slipping clutch won't fix. There already are self-closing doors everywhere. Maybe not in cars but in all sorts of vehicles and everywhere in buildings.
Behold the miracle of the slipping clutch, millenials. See It working without being digital and all without an app by the ancient secrets of mechanics!
I came out in 1969, too and vaguely remember having seen something like double-sized legos somewhere. No idea where or when. They seem to have come out of fashion pretty soon.
The reasonable way would be to do the prototype with a 3D printer, create a mold and cast the metal. This wouldn't work here either, but if you already have the CAD/CAM file you could just get it milled by a professional CNC outfit. If you're not too cheap with the steel, it might not even kill you and still cost less than $1600. OTOH, if you can afford a helicopter that shouldn't be an argument for you. Half an hour in the air will cost you more than that.

I thought it was a self-referring acronym and stood for K Desktop Environment? Anyway it was a reference to CDE, the Common Desktop Environment of SUN, HP and a couple of other commercial Unices.
The summary about Schopenhauer also doesn't sound very informed to me. More like written by somebody with strong opinions about everything, no knowledge of anything and too lazy to do any research. And right so. Understanding what you're talking about just keeps you from posting "interesting" things like the nonsense claim of Schopenhauer being "not a good philosopher". Actually, Schopenhauer undisputedly was the best philosopher ever, his world records on 500 meters hermeneutics and full-contact ethics where he single-handedly kicked all three Anglican arch bishops out of the ring are still unbroken.
A network drive is mounted as an ordinary file system. The application layer is not even aware of the file system. The problem should most likely be something wrong with the network, like non-duplex/half duplex components (cheap ethernet card or switch) or shitty WLAN.
Transmission and QBittorrent definitely work with at least NFS and 99% also with SMB (SMB has crappy performance compared to NFS). NAS client sounds suspicios. Some of them still are using SMB1 which is slow as fuck and full of security flaws. I'd use some network tool like ifconfig (Debian based distros) or iptraf or, depending on your hardware, ethtool, mii-tool or the like.
What's you network topology? Wired or WLAN? Switches, hubs, routers, repeaters, encryption, APs, nominal speed? If WLAN, how's the signal, how many other devices, etc. Networking is complex...
Interesting. Might be a file locking issue with SMB. I didn't think of it before but a torrent download needs to be open to read and write until completed whith permanent changes to the open file. I would not assume SMB1 do handle that too well.

Schlimme Nachrichten: Es wird wohl ein Media Server sein müssen. Etwas anderes gibt's nämlich nicht, es sei denn, du codest es selbst. Was eher schwierig sein dürfte, weil niemand die Spezifikation für einen Wohnzimmer-Media-Nicht-Server kennt. Du könntest es mit einem Ziegelstein versuchen, der servt jedenfalls keine Medien und passt unter die Couch. Oder du nimmst einfach LibreELEC oder einfach ein minimales Debian + Kodi. Ich habe beides zuhause und beides funktioniert recht gut.
The Commission's investigation preliminarily indicates that TikTok did not adequately assess how these addictive features could harm the physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including minors and vulnerable adults.
Meta got sued and had to pay €1,500 per user in a ruling of a supreme state court which can't be appealed. There's a wave of lawsuits expected to follow because this actually means every Facebook user (for now, it might be possible that non-users whose data were also collected will sue, too) can easily sue now. I remember Meta boasting to have the data of some 10M Germans for targeted advertising. Unfortunately that's hardly robust evidence but I hope they'll sue them to hell and back.
There is no such thing as "carbon neutral". Nor is there a problem with carbon. You're talking about carbon dioxide which is as close to carbon as table salt is to chlorine.
Who needs a guitar tuner? If you really need one, like for returning to standard tuning after alternative tuning experiments and the resulting ear fatigue a tuniing fork is the best thing you can get. No batteries, no microphone access, no browser, just "ping". Fits in your pocket or gig bag and provides coolness factor. Also indestructable, dirt cheap, environment friendly and old-school.

Non-gamers only. I recently replaced my mobo by a slightly older (the model, the board itself was brand new) industrial PC board. 32GB DDR3, NVidia Quadro K2200, 2 x gigabit ethernet, USB 3.1, five serial ports, three programmable digital IO ports, hardware watchdog, i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. It's a Loonix machine and I don't use it for gaming but I do a lot of animation, video editing, µcontroller programming and 3D-modelling with it. Super reliable, fast enough for most stuff. If I need more raytracing power, I just cluster it with my Lenovo p15.
These server boards are usually the same as scientific and engineering workstation boards. They're pretty good if you put the right CPU in. Xeon or i7 4770 and you'll get a quite useable workstation out of them.

Actually, the uniformed ones look a lot like German BFE cops. Present, not in 1933, that is. They do, however, have a certain reputation of not being too left-leaning.
Beethoven got deaf (or nearly deaf) at quite old age. Doesn't really count either. Also Beethoven never used shitty composite video or even HDMI. These are strictly consumer crap. If good old Ludwig wanted to see his work he directed a fucking symphonic orchestra - and if he didn't like what he got to see it was da capo until he liked it.
Idk, but 12 to 24 hours trippin' doesn't sound like my cup of tea. To most people four hours are funny but slightly exhausting, eight defiitely too much and I don't even want to think of 24...
As far as I understood the article the shrooms were not offered for their psychedelic effect but as ordinary food - with the advice to cook them long enough to eliminate the psychoactive bits.
