You're still wrong. Go check federal law on airline passengers. Don't worry, I'll wait. And no, btw, pretending to be confused isn't convincing.

George Washington required immunization of all his forces against smallpox. That was in 1777. Look it up. It's not new. Please do at least five seconds of googling before making this assertion in public again. https://www.pe

Because they have no control over said "other staff". At all. You knew that, though.

Nobody is "supporting" the staff in question; you're just making that up. It's a huge reach and a sloppy argument. Unruly passengers represent a clear danger to the safe operation of flights. They cannot be tolerated. Pe

You keep saying this over and over, but it's not true. He didn't have "every right". It's been explained to you multiple times.

You seem deeply confused. A lot of people have the right to issue orders to a civilian under various circumstances.

Misleading headline; the graphic in the article makes it quite clear the device is much larger than the "salt grain" that most of us would imagine. And the text of the article mentions a "coarse grain of salt" in a rathe

Can someone please explain why anyone—anyone at all—would care at all, in any way, about this story? Why did The Verge even write it? And why was that bad decision compounded by posting it on HN?

No. It's literal. And I don't mind eating a few downvotes for saying so; it's a fact. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/11/virginia-school-boar...

Any evidence for thinking this? NYT has never done this with its crossword, for instance. Their crossword pages are actually entirely free of ads of any kind. They monetized it by selling subscriptions, instead.

If you think "multiple word length" would enhance the game, you haven't thought for very long about what makes the game work. It basically has to be 5 letters or the entire structure falls apart. As for Craigslist, I suspect

It's actually not true that wind and solar have "no waste risk". They both produce large amounts of waste, actually, some of which is toxic. Granted, it's not nuclear waste, but it's waste nonetheless. It's als

Could we be more careful about getting the capitalization right in headlines like this? "One gemini" not only reads different from "ONE Gemini" in English; it actually means something different. Just copy and paste the h

It seems to me like this sort of suggestion betrays a fundamental lack of comprehension about what "Constitutional freedoms" actually are. All of the kinds of "censorship" being griped about on here are not remotely prot

His gripe about the buzzing sound in AirPods is easily fixable and he obviously didn't even bother checking. Just went straight to blaming Apple. Apple will replace AirPods with this issue. For free. Several of the other gripes are spu

This is not really an improvement. 3 years of OS updates is pathetic and unacceptable.

No, it's simply not. Not when the battery can actually be replaced for $49. The battery is replaceable .

I'd say it's very common. I get requests on a nearly weekly basis. From both friends and family. Some have asked me several times.

The batteries are "replaceable"; your own comment acknowledges that. What you mean is batteries the user can easily replace, which means you have to make compromises in the design of the phone and its structural integrity. The mar

I used to use an Apple Extended Keyboard II on my NeXTStation Turbo Color. The later NeXT models had full ADB support. The early Cubes did not. I also sometimes used an ADB NeXT keyboard with various Macs in the 1990s.

Had one of these with my original NeXT Cube that I bought new while in grad school. Still one of my favorite keyboards ever. And the Cube itself was so far ahead of everything else out there at the time that it felt like pure magic.

Arrogant? It's arrogant? You might want to read up on the effects of higher CO2 levels on human cognition. It's not pretty. And it completely blows your comment out of the water. We already know that the CO2 levels that are foreca

Those look rather nice, but they are 10x what you should be paying. You can get good, fresh Tellicherry peppercorns for $8 a pound on Amazon, and they are very nice. Another option is your local co-op or spice store, which, if you are lucky

I've actually used a mortar and pestle to prepare huge quantities of pepper for evenly coating a 17-pound prime rib, so I can answer that. First, if you use a mortar and pestle, peppercorns will randomly fly out. This is not convenient

First, I do know how peer review works. Second, you're missing the key difference, here: peer review is for review and evaluation within the community of qualified scientists. What I'm talking about is something else: the ability

I have one of those Peugeots, got it for my wedding, and thought I would love it. It's gorgeous, but sadly, it's just plain awful at doing what pepper mills are for: generating pepper. It's better as a forearm workout than as

The evidence, and more crucially, its meaning and significance are not "verifiable" by 99.999% of the population. That's why things like credentials, resumes, publication history, and peer review exist. That's why we car
