Why would a legal system set out a bunch of laws categorizing age limits for various objects? And laws penalizing people who don't secure their chainsaws in gun cabinets, for that matter. Will they be allowed hand saws? Hammers? Chefs

This is the sort of answer I was expecting. It looks rather authentic, but there are at least 4 cameras, and two chase planes: - There's a shot from the wheel-less plane pointing at the wing, implying it's a planned stunt. - There

I should probably know this too, but I'll speculate wildly instead. MAC is Layer 2, IP address is Layer 3. One way or another, the packet destined for the person you're spoofing will end up at your computer and work its way throug

-20 to 40C isn't as nice as 0-100, but it's not terrible. AFAIR 0-100 wasn't the goal anyway. 0F was just the lowest they could reach in a lab setting at the time. Then they chose to have 180 degrees between water freezing an

You can construct a "this article = Theranos" argument with the same techniques. It's just picking and choosing similarities in order to make insinuations, and it's immediately suspect.

In that case, "strength" is the wrong metric. If you're posting a shallow response just because the facts align with your position, you're still just wasting people's time. The people who already agree that the arti
