Astronauts on the ISS are currently zipping along at at 7.67 km/s just fine.

And we've all been zipping around the sun at 29.78 km/s since each of our inceptions.

Looks like the negatives were not in a large enough film format, the remaster has letterboxing

Amazon sent a mouse mat that was the wrong box in the first place QcK Heavy instead of QcK, and even worse, inside was a dirty old mouse mat from a different brand entirely. It was annoying to post it back (internationally, they aren't in my country) but they refunded without issue at least.

I'm surprised by this bit:

Part of the reason for the campaign’s move was the result of an FEC ruling this year that a candidate’s campaign and outside groups could coordinate their canvassing efforts with super PACs, and specifically share voter lists and data that they collect door to door. It means campaigns could share much of their labor- and cost-heavy ground efforts with groups that can take unlimited donations.

I thought the PACs need to be independant of the campaign and that's how they don't fall under campaign finance laws? Why would they suddenly be allowed to coordinate so closely?

Locked bootloaders can prevent that. Or proprietary hardware drivers can make it unworkable.

Does it pump heat variably in both directions?

Both their website and their twitter profile currently show this promo with the 14.88 price when I load the respective pages.

Edit: Let me upload screenshots for posterity's sake

Scrolling back though their twitter profile form the current promo I see a few more prices that appear suspicious in retrospect: 9.88, 14.98 and 18.88 for example.

The article mentions a point of uncertainty:

As Cotlar noted, it's not clear whether Lindell is in on the reference. In a video announcing the discount, Lindell is seen holding up two pillows and announcing the new discounted price as $14.98, even though both the official MyPillow website lists it as $14.88 with the promo code.

"I want to tell you about a current box store that put in an order — a big order — for our famous MyPillows, we made them all and got ready to ship them and they cancelled at the last minute," Lindell said in the video, after lamenting that his company had been "cancelled" by "attacks that just keep coming."

If you actually check my 14.98 link above there and follow through to the website both promo sites, the old https://www.mypillow.com/r251 from Sept 10 and now https://www.mypillow.com/r277 link to the same video hosted on vimeo https://vimeo.com/1008571598 title "video-output-2A900B79-65FC-44FB-8C21-E348491689FB" uploaded Sept 11, so they made the video with 14.98 first, and now just reused it even though they updated the sales price to 14.88

except that “man” wasn’t gendered at the time.

But I included that, didn't I?

and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons

Or do you mean rather than male and female, I should have said persons regardless of gender? I guess that makes more sense.

Sehr interessant. Dass man für die Nutzung des privaten Parkplatz einen Vertrag eingeht war mir nicht so bewusst, obwohl das eigentlich schon logisch ist.

Since the thread has grown large and I had trouble finding the comment I'll just link it here (sorry the link is instance specific, it seems you can't make relative ones)

That doesn't sound right...

From what I remember "woman" comes from "wifman", which is a compound of "wif" and "man", and back then "man" still refered to male and female persons, and "wer" and "wif" were male and female persons respectively.
