My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon back in 2006. Carnival was very attractive since we were recently out of college and their prices were so cheap compared to everyone else. But just a little digging showed me they don’t take car

A program that isn’t available to everyone and is routinely under fire. It also doesn’t solve the underlying problem, but instead throws money at the companies exacerbating it for profit. Broadly available, competitive broadband is the answ

Is there a syntactical reason this method couldn’t be supported in rST?

It’s sort of cool to watch it through an infrared camera. The front proximity sensor is like a set of headlights.

My anecdote: our Eufy has been working great for just under a year, now. We have a lab that sheds bucket-loads off hair, and it is generally able to keep things clean. The only real problem is that I was a bit over aggressive cleaning the r

I’ve been in most of my neighbor’s houses, or talked to them about their systems. One of my neighbors has an additional camera, on the outside. Most people have a doorbell cam and some window/door sensors.

Unless you put a ring camera in your house, the video is of the street and your front porch. In my neighborhood, everyone has the doorbell and not much more.

It’s insanely easy and cheap to get a quality doorbell and alarm system that has monitoring (they call the police and/or fire) and lets me see a month (or more, I’ve only needed a month so far) of video from anywhere. Storing video on

Vim is definitely usable. I don’t use a block cursor, so perhaps that is the reason I don’t have issues, but I’ve been using Vim without issue for some time now.

This notification is slightly different: you still get a notification when an app asks for permission. But later on you get a notification telling you that the app has been using a given feature x times, and you have the choice of changing

The portion of your comment I disagreed with was here: > I'm not aware of Russia doing anything remotely similar since its birth (where "birth" refers to the collapse of the USSR). While I agree that Russia _cannot_ have t

Indeed, Gazprom lost over $1 billion as a result of the shutdown. I’m not really sure why I was downvoted before: the actions here targeted Ukraine, but impacted several countries in Europe. Perhaps someone disagrees with me, but that’s not

That's not exactly a fair comparison, since Russia hasn't had the funding to make any large-scale invasions since then. However they were more than happy to cut off oil to Europe just a few years ago, invade Ukraine, and generally
