> The concentration involved is no different than setting a leaf on fire with a magnifying glass on a regular day. That's what they're saying. Zooming in on the sun vs the sun happening to be in-frame.

Small four wheelers are super sketchy at scooter speeds. The short wheelbase makes for quick and flighty steering and the narrow track makes them tippy. You have to lean to maintain balance, but leaning is not initiated and controlled via s

Get a Wifi232 card when there's another run. They're wifi modems that connect via RS232 and provide a hayes command set interface.

I always assumed bypassing the firewall was illegal too. Is that not true?

They say this thing is stable in 30 foot seas. 300 feet of the ship is underwater. I don't think you could match that with buoys.

A small submarine wouldn't fit as many scientists or experiments or sensors, and a probe from a traditional ship wouldn't be stable.

Does anyone remember "Inside Macintosh," the manuals Apple published back in the classic Mac OS days? I have many of those books, covering everything from how the hardware handles drawing to the screen, up through memory managemen

What really killed google for me was their gradual transition to showing results that are the most popular thing that's merely related to your search terms. Whereas DDG wouldn't show me many good results for some searches, google

That would be neat as an experiment. Like, see how far you can go and what you can get to with a "total blocker."

You're definitely right. Our ability to ignore our ideals when we're slightly inconvenienced is why content paired with invasive ads is so effective in the first place.

I'd rather just go a level up... You don't want users to tamper with your ads? Ok, we'll block your entire site. No tampering.

That seems like a self-inflicted problem. Why would you have to mark the future thread as a duplicate?

The maximum output is interesting to know, but if you asked how much my car's fuel tank held and I told you "100mph," you'd be understandably confused.

Now you have to move the counterweight in and out, which gives you the same problem.

How is your magical-problem-avoiding-technology recommendation any different from theirs?
