Hauling rocks doesn't really impart a whole lot of information. If they are going to include a bit about hauling rocks, maybe tell us about it - instead of pretending it's a novel with bison and bears. You know, science journalism

I know you're joking but California is a whole lot more than Southern California. California was on my shortlist of places to retire to and a requirement to be on that list was lots of snow. It's a great place with great climate v

You may be thinking of the HAP switch. It's an undocumented setting for the High Assurance Program. http://www.zdnet.com/article/researchers-say-intels-manageme... I've not tested it, but it looks like you fl

We have very different regulations here. A safe isn't even required. I own two firearms capable of fully automatic fire. The law doesn't even require I store them in a safe. I can strap one on and walk down the street, if I really

There is no current non-tyrannical defense to this. Legislation doesn't prevent, it only proscribes punishment. However, if self-driving vehicles do connect to a central system (which I believe they will, as it is the logical step to o

Most of the complaints I've seen have revolved around their shared hosting environment and some support complaints. I figure it worth mentioning. I do know there are far fewer complaints AND that they are still in business, so they can

> There, they hauled rocks under the heat of the sun to gather samples, occasionally suspending their work when a bison or a bear roamed nearby. NYT is a horrible source for science news. Why were they hauling rocks and what did they do

Sometimes, I'll still play the games they are calling Dots and Boxes . I frequently have a pad of graph paper with me and will even encourage strangers* to play with me. Sometimes the missus and I will play a few matches. Though they

Quite similar, methinks. The other was much older (in Internet years). If I had to guess at a date, I can say I think it was in the 1998 to 2003 region. I can't be more accurate than a five year span, my memory isn't that good. It

That's a very tough question and I sort of answered it, albeit indirectly and by virtue of having posted it. First, yes... It is very, very certain to get attention. I tried to cover that it could be used for a variety of reasons and w

As I recall, someone had built a machine that turned the pages and took pictures of the pages. I think they were refining it, as it just snapped both facing pages at once, and were going to market it. I never did find out what happened to t

Another enjoyable site: https://textfiles.com/ I've donated to support specific projects there. I should probably set up something regular. Jason does great things.

To add to your point - and not a detractor from your point, just because you don't have the means to solve a problem doesn't mean your not qualified to point it out. You may not know how to fix it, but you can probably point out w

In both cases I experienced, it was a big giant tank up on the roof of the building. It was separate from the fire suppression system in the server room. I can see why there would be different systems and code requirements for residential c

I'm sure they have a reason for it. There's no storage tank to supply it? The systems I'm familiar with were all commercial, so that may be why I'm unfamiliar with them being fed from the main. I had to deal with getting

This might actually be my favorite post in the thread. It's a nice list and it doesn't require leaving the page to visit links. Having it in one spot is a handy thing, especially while in the midst of a stressful situation. Panic

Fire suppression systems that I'm familiar with, which is absolutely not all, don't rely on an external water supply. They use stored water, often mixed with some oily substance that prevents corrosion, and are gravity or bladder

Yes, to add to this, go fuel your vehicle up to the top.

That is beautiful! Imagine that on a much larger scale and much more accessible. I don't recall hearing of the tractors before. Imagine if they had GPS, greater numbers, and all arrived at the same time?

I own a significant number of firearms. It isn't law but I recommend storing the ammunition in a second safe. I have multiple safes and, even without children in the home, keep ammo and firearms securely stored separately. On this subj

Center-fire cartridges usually have seated the primer with a material that will melt at temperatures lower than is needed to set the round off. This has the effect of reducing pressure, as well as the normal lack of pressure when it isn&#x2

I need to stress that I do not suggest doing that. I almost didn't type it out. I can't be entirely certain, but I've worked on disaster recovery plans involving the highway infrastructure and I feel comfortable saying that j

I'd suggest reading some of the complaints about their service and support. They have had a whole litany of complaints that span years of operation. In their defense, I've read that they have improved significantly - but they had

THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG. I have some actual moral qualms about typing this out. I'll try to make it as short as possible. Will blocking a single bridge help? Nope. The whole "raising awareness" and "starting a conversat

I make it a point to rely on those services as little as possible, while maintaining some level of control. I do use Google, including their email, but keep a local storage copy. I don't have any social media accounts, by normal defini

My comment is a bit pithy, but the time to think about that has passed. There are many fine suggestions in the thread, so I'm going to amend, assuming you don't mind, your statement - just a little. "It's time for everyo
