Clint Eastwood: Hollywood's paradoxical superstar turns 90 A spaghetti western star whose 'Dirty Harry' films made him an anti-hero of the political right, the Oscar-winning actor and director later praised Donald Trump. But as he turns 90, his true legacy is as an auteur.

After nine years, the United States flew into space again on its own and the journey of the two astronauts Bob Behnken and Douglas Hurley is already over. Because on Sunday afternoon, the Crew-Dragon space capsule from SpaceX docked on schedule with the international space station ISS. NASA chief Jim Bridenstine wrote on Twitter: "Welcome home!" Congratulations came from Russia. Roskosmos boss Dmitri Rogosin wrote to his US colleague Bridenstine on Twitter: "Bravo!"

In my limited experience, they are some incredibly rude people. At first glance, it seems like a great place, and I've found great answers there. They take quality very seriously (which I respect). But my experiences haven't been particularly good. 

They have a lot of rules (not a bad thing), but they are sort of open to interpretation and they are really only worthwhile if you have an extremely precise problem. It's not an ordinary forum where you can ask more generalized questions to get feedback, information on best practices, or otherwise. It's more of a "here is my code, here is my problem, how do I do X."

If you're newer to the community, it's really more up to the discretion of whoever sees the problem as to what ends up being done, and often something gets downvoted only because it competes with someone else's question or answer. Everyone seems to be in a repuation war almost constantly. 

Is there anyone here who has successfully "figured out" stack overflow? If so, how do you go about participating meaningfully?

Hello good morning, are you also like me and put your coffee cup next to laptop printer cell phone etc?

Today it was time again, a  expensive coffee, because I acted carelessly, spilled the coffee, via printer (Brother MFC-L3750CDW) 500Euro, and it no longer works, moreover via the power bar, charging plug from my Samsung Indiktiv, charger, the plug also no longer works, makes a short circuit, fuses Fi in the house fall out. I'm such a jerk ... annoy me

Usually, when you see this sort of thing, you don’t think people will ever take it seriously. Apparently this time is different. Town councils are recommending these. 

Can’t always trust the people who are in power.

Trump threatens social networks with closure A few hours later, Trump threatened Twitter & Co. with the closure. Republican politicians feel that "social media platforms completely silence conservative voices," the president tweeted. "We will strictly regulate or close them before we will ever allow that," Trump warned.

Hello all, 

We had a project some number of years ago to host free chat rooms using Ajax Chat. We improved upon it quite a bit and added an admin panel, username registration, custom commands, among other things. It's a simple, but fully featured webchat interface with minimal ads, and it's totally free. Unfortunately, our host at the time shut it down. Fortunately, we have fixed that problem.  

I'm in the process of redirecting old chatcave.me links to chatcave.makestation.net, so the website is a little rough on the edges right now. It's a small project, so I'm not planning on advertising it a whole lot outside of here (it pretty much advertised itself last time, it grew faster than we expected). Other than that, if you are looking for a lightweight, fully featured chat room, check out our chat hosting service. It's available for anyone who needs it!

Geekbench is a free (for the tryout version) benchmarking software that is pretty much used to benchmark anything from tablets and phones to server mainframes. A score of 1000 indicates roughly the performance of a laptop-grade 8th generation i3. If you get 1000, you can expect pretty good performance, but some devices get over 1,300 (particularly Apple's mobile devices and some high-clockspeed Intel processors). 

Anyway, I benchmarked my machine. These were my results. I got 631 for single core, and 1414 for multi core. It's on a 2012 Macbook Pro with a 3rd gen dual-core i3 at 2.5-2.9ghz. It's not very good by today's standards, but it's fast enough to get the job done. 

If you've benchmarked your machine, I'm curious to see what you get. Share both the benchmark and the CPU specs! You can download Geekbench 5 here. It's free for the tryout mode, which is usually plenty enough to get the benchmark done.

I’ve had many old cars in my lifetime. Almost all of them burned oil. My old Toyota was the worst of them all. It managed to burn about a quart every gas tank. I had an old civic that did the same thing, but it had a blown head gasket, so it makes more sense on the civic.

I feel like 1 quart every 1000 miles is pretty much acceptable for a car under 200K miles, but it depends. How much is too much, for an old beater?
