https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaksandu ok, might have got it wrong, but there names in the Hittite clay tables which are also in the Iliad

just a side note: it appears that for example "Alexander" is a Hittite name, and other names which appear in the Iliad seem to be of Hittite origin

of course it's the absence of common sense in the law enforcement but on the other hand this technology is thought to be faultless and it takes resource to put it right

it could have been a so called no knock warrant where police just ram your house door and enter your house. but what I don't understand is that it took from the impounding of the car to the incarceration of her seven months I would have assumed that she lawyered up to get the car back and deny the allegations

I'm always wondering how it is possible to exfiltrate more than 2 TB of data shouldn't any sysadmin alarmed? because if you want to do that undetected you need several days to weeks to download that data

wolfi1 — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 08:21:36 +0000

the problem is rather to automate this and upscale this and I'm not sure how safe this method is. generally speaking if the EU makes battery recycling mandatory it definitely would benefit from a method where you don't have to grind the battery. I see this more as a PoC which can be further explored
