Somehow I think the national lab test company’s lawyers have got them covered. This wasn’t exactly a fly by night, no name company. Having in known third party send you a medical bill months later is pretty fucking common place. This was just one anecdote of many, not an isolated incident.
The best part is the random bill.
The system is broken. If any other company subcontracted a part of their work to a third party, you as the client would reasonably expect that work to be paid through the original contract, not get a bill directly from the subcontractor. I didn’t hire them, the doctor hired them. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the doctor’s subcontractor and their debt, not mine. I paid the doctor already.
Or another variant.
The system is not just broken. It is designed to fleece us and train us to always accept whatever debt the institutions decide to levy on us without question.

Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3.
But, the history is a little murky, because older Ethernet was VERY different than it is today and that variety, much like the older USB 1.0, is not at all common in modern machines.
The really really old piece of hardware in every modern powerful gaming PC is the power supply. Surely the form factor and demands made on power supplies have changed incrementally over the years. But the technology that goes into power supplies wasn’t exactly new even before Ethernet or USB.
Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?
If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).
You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”
I do. I don’t know. Probably.
But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.
Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.
Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.
Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

Every university needs a cool bug guy. And no matter what discipline you’re in, your college experience will be better for knowing them. Kind of like the groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy, Boothby

Find an online guide. Print to PDF or save as HTML/ODF/whatever you like. Annotate the document. Now notes and article are searchable. I guess a physical book might have an advantage if the power went out, but at that point you’re going to have other problems implementing the things the book suggests.
It seems like a pretty good space filling method for a worm. Probably also has something to do with not eating away the leaf your worm body trailing behind you is clutching.
What did you expect, the GilbertHilbert curve? Wait, is this actually a rough Hilbert curve?
Edit: Gilbert? Why autocorrect? Why? I know no Gilberts. This is the first time I’ve ever intentionally typed Gilbert.
Next time you tape over it, try this. Cut an old credit card, hotel key card, or something similar to just larger than the switch’s recess. Tape only the top edge to the machine so that the stiff plastic or cardboard covers the switch, but can be lifted up and out of the way when you need to access it. I’ve used a similar trick to protect light switches I wanted to occasionally use, but not accidentally flip along with the other switches in the next gang over.
I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.
Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
In the US it must be Springfield because there’s so fucking many of them that they named made a TV show after it.
Stupid sexy autocorrect.
Let this be a lesson to you then. Checking the logs should be your first troubleshooting step, not installing a variety of distros until one “just works”. Good luck.
How do you pronounce the U? Do you pronounce mould like should, would, or could? Is your pronunciation of mould then closer to mud than old with an M in front?
I see you’ve never played “Dragon’s Lair”, where every scene was cell animated and the player “chose” the path that the animation would take.
