That's literally just an XLR3 plug. It's used for analog audio and DMX lighting controls.

Don't know why you'd put it in a rock though.

Have you tried Organic Maps? Works pretty well for me.

I'm not an expert, but I guess it would depend on the speed of sound in the rod.

AM Radio has an extremely important role in emergency broadcasting, because you can cover a whole continent using just 3-4 broadcasting stations, and it is so easy to demodulate, that you can build completely analog recievers that need no power source (they use the carrier wave as a power source). This also means that AM receivers are very cheap, so in a lot of developing countries the only broadcasts most people can afford, and will reach them are AM.

I think we should keep AM radio around, at least for emergencies.

Also, unfortunately, when HF bandwidth gets freed up, it mostly ends up going to companies that use it for high frequency trading, and not to things where it would benefit the public, like ham radio, or digital broadcasts.

He got better.

I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn't work.

Peter Wiggin (Locke) as well as his sister Valentine Wiggin (Demosthenes) are Ender Wiggin's siblings. After Ender was

shipped off to military school at age 6

, Peter convinced his sister to write on "the Nets" about the war, posing as adults using the Pseudonyms Locke and Demosthenes. They managed to get a significant amount of influence, especially considering they were like 10 years old.

Also, relevant xkcd.

The referendum was (if I understand it correctly) about adding an advisory body of indigenous people to parliament. This wouldn't have given them any power to make decisions, only to advise parliament on things.

The No Campaign just straight up lied to people saying it would let them write laws, take away your land, etc..

I always remember that port and left both are the shorter word, and have the same number of letters.

Yes, but it looks like it's been inactive for a while:

Not a classic book, but Artemis Fowl. Disney managed to confuse fans of the books and newcomers to the series alike by adding a McGuffin that was unnecessary, bringing the antagonist from the second book into the movie on the first book, and mangling the relations between the two main protagonists beyond recognition.

This mostly wasn't actually Google, the website it refrences was written by ChatGPT, Google's crawler just found it and shows it in the summary.
