Jail time? This poor man was forced to slowly circle around a parking lot eight times! It took over five minutes before they fixed the problem! He almost missed his flight! Outrage, outrage. This is clearly worthy of the electric chai

What's mayhem is humans driving. This is downright calm by comparison. Inconvenient, sure, but it's not Mad Max, he's just slowly circling. He didn't even miss his flight.

Child safety locks that prevent people from opening locked doors from the inside are standard on four door vehicles for the rear doors, but they can usually be disabled. My two-door had them disabled by default and it's not uncommon fo

I've made good french fries. It's not that hard. It certainly doesn't require one being Blumenthal. It does, however, take too much advanced planning and frankly it's not worth the hassle of cleaning up. That said, I don

The alternative isn't some utopian free sharing of inventions. The alternative is tightly held trade secrets and lots of inventions dying with their inventors. We had this system for most of human history. It sucked. A decade and a hal

7 years? Microsoft Word for Mac was released in 1985. It was comparable to MacWrite. Also Microsoft Write for Windows was released in 1985, but it was clunkier.

Impossible? No, but the fact that planes generally don't approach from that direction and there are other, longer runways to land means substantially reduce the risk of an already extremely rare event.

Landings/takeoffs from 23/24R/24L are in the westerly direction (away from 427) due to prevailing winds.

I think a default max of 1 request every 5 seconds is unnecessarily meek, especially for larger sites. I'd also argue that requests that browsers don't slow down for, like following redirects to the same domain or links with the p

Slavery was a condition, usually a legal status, where someone's autonomy was stripped from them. The work component only existed because why else would one want a slave? If someone born into slavery died before they could walk, they s

Em. I just tried it with citric acid and it didn't work at all - just get an acidic grainy soup - probably from lowering the pH too much. I'm not entirely certain how it is expected to work. AFAIK, sodium citrate works by sequeste

How do you stir long pasta in minimal water before it has softened? While small pasta shapes are relatively easy to stir such that they break contact with anything nearby right from the beginning, long pasta tends to move together when stir

Russia didn't have much of a choice in the matter given the whole economic collapse happening, but I'm glad we're on the same page about who had been in control. Not that they didn't try in the beginning though. They tri

US-based A. Zildjian Co bought Istanbul-based K. Zildjian Co in 1968 - where Mikael, who married into the family, worked. So this is arguably the original company.

It's B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin). Robert Zildjian explained it's not the formula that's the secret, but the process for manufacturing cymbals without cracking since B20 is so brittle.
