Worse than that - there are several highly contagious respiratory diseases common to children. Yes, let's force them to concentrate and re-breath their moist breath. That's what is (still) the most galling about all of this; that

Newton was amazing. Once you did a bit of training, it could read your handwriting with easy. The assisted drawing was the coolest thing and something that only recently Apple has brought back. I only had a Message Pad 110 - I really reg

Jefferson, Adams and Washington all warned about the dangers of central banks. Jefferson went so far as to lament prohibitions on it missing from the constitution. But yeah, that's "Joe Rogan" material :p

It's not really that hard to understand - the people most likely to use CLI commands are the least likely to pay for software. Just look at the comments in this story :p

HoudaSpot is far more than a friendly GUI - It's a powerful query tool and while I love the CLI for many things, HoudaSpot is a great example of how a well thought out GUI can beat the pants off of a CLI for this particular use case. E

Yes, residential usage is a ridiculous consumer of water. Let's have a discussion about *subsidizing* the production of almonds. In a desert. All this focus on consumer water use is emotional hand waving and total BS.

The load you are going on about is from agriculture - over 80%. If addressed, replacing outdated irrigation practices and correcting lack of maintenance/loss through distribution systems would solve this "crisis".

The way it's described in the article was pretty clear that it pushes all contaminates, including solids, away from a particular zone on the membrane - and that's where the uncontaminated water is harvested from. So no, it doesn&#

As others point out, it's not a filter since it pushes contaminates away from a particular zone on the membrane, and that zone is where they harvest the fresh water. Flush those contaminates away from the surface of the membrane with

Yup - the "cars suck" or "cars as a tax" arguments are the ultimate in weak sauce and totally discount the utter enablement of autonomous mobility that cars bring. Independent freedom of movement is beyond empowering an

And you willfully ignore that cars enable the ultimate freedom - autonomous mobility! That is the exact opposite of a tax and anyone who thinks of cars as a tax is participating in some of the greatest looser think around.

Airpods tend to seal - lots of pressure in a confined space. In your dyno example your ears are open to the environment. Not hard to imagine, really (and rather frightening!)

Indeed. Google used to have a mechanism to report pages - was annoying when they removed that. Even if it was just the illusion of control, it was nice to think they at least pretended to care.

Yup - without SetApp there are a number of apps I wouldn't otherwise be able to justify spending on individually; but as a group I get more than enough value. It's a tough balance. Software doesn't age like fine wine sitting

Heck, some cameras have NDI built in - look up the Logitech Meevo, for instance. Pretty amazing for what it does and I've found NDI support in OBS to be rock solid (unlike RTMP!)
