Renter's (and homeowner's) insurance doesn't cover damage due to flooding. You can buy flood insurance, but this only covers your personal property inside your home and doesn't help with loss of use or relocation.

It seems like there is a certain segment of people who want not so much to actually reduce the impact they have on the Earth, but to do performative suffering and comfort reduction as a way to demonstrate how much better they are than other

This is a good point. I've tried phrasing this a few ways, but ultimately it seems like Gen Z workers think they know the value of their work, and will balk when asked to do more than they're being paid for. I don't think ent

This is another site owned by Future PLC, which just shut down Anandtech.com. Truly a sad time for tech journalism.

Late to this, but this usually looks like: 1. Vet people in sensitive positions with things like background checks. This isn't very effective, but gosh will you feel silly if you hire an actual criminal or spy from a country that isn&#

I wish more was spent on trying to verify the authenticity of the hardware, or contacting HP for comment. The simplest explanation is that a distributor in Brazil sourced counterfeit hardware. Authenticatic hardware shipping with some bespo

For external battery packs 3D printed adapters are starting to become more available. Unfortunately there's too much profit in proprietary packs and device replacement due to failed internal batteries. Safety concerns are just plausibl

Whenever I see stories like this this is think it's a lot more helpful to push the blame onto the electrical generation industry rather than blaming consumers of electricity for the carbon output of generation.

CO2 is acidic when dissolved in water so would cause the cream to curdle. Nitrogen doesn't readily dissolve so while you can push the liquid out, it wouldn't turn to foam when it hit normal pressure.

You can be honest and direct without being an asshole, and life is too short to suffer people who don't learn this. Reminds me of the saying: "People who are brutally honest generally enjoy the brutality more than the honesty.&quo

Do you have evidence that solvents remain in the coffee in significant levels? They're highly volatile so this seems unlikely.

It seems like you could easily address privacy concerns while keeping the app useful by automatically blurring faces or just lowering the resolution. I really love the idea for this app because the number one challenge when going out is fin

Bingo. Lawn equipment is about the worst potential application for internal combustion engines.

This seems like a poor rent-to-own deal. If no electrical work is required, you're paying $31/month for 10 years, or $3720 for someone to plug a <$1000 charger into an outlet for you. If you need a circuit installed, you'r

This is late, so you might not see this, but I think this is where you start seeing the difference between words and actions. People who you can trust will say something that makes you feel safe and comfortable, and then back those words up

I like the idea of punitively high taxes for unoccupied properties to try to encourage landlords to rent at market rates.

Unfortunately there's still lots of reasons a legitimate call wouldn't have attestation, including if it passed over a legacy non-SIP link at any point. That's increasingly rare, but not rare enough to flag or block calls wit

Did you have your electronics connected to good quality surge protectors, or were you just relying on the whole-house surge protector? I've read before that whole-house protectors are meant more for reducing fire risk than protecting s

I'm really sad about this. I know that a lot of really desperate people used the text chat feature when they needed someone to listen, and there's certainly a lot of people who are alive and happy today because they found someone

The thing is, while there's a lot of crap EVs at inflated prices that nobody wants to buy, good EVs are back ordered. Chevy dealers do everything they can to avoid selling Bolts but they're still months away from having stock.

To build off your rabbit hole, I've read about using the way microwaves selectively heat molecules in cooking. In particular, they can heat oil molecules in a way that increases flavor extraction without causing thermal breakdown of th

I've had good results with the newish antihistamine levocetirizine (generic for Xyzal), as well as guaifenesin extended release pills for general mucus relief. Both are OTC and cheap in generic form.

No, that's the mechanism Google used to install apps, a fake cell tower wouldn't be able to impersonate Google because they don't have Google's private keys. Also, looking at nearly 10 year old information is not helpful

Periodic reminder that the nuclear peace movement in Japan has a lot of overlap with nationalist and fascist groups. It's kind of like people who are sad about the American civil war in the US south, it's more likely they're

One note is that most of the crops grown for seed oil are "high oleic" varieties that produce a fat makeup more similar to Canola oil than you'd previously see for those crops.

These are Lead-based solar cells, is that correct? Are there details about how much Lead the panels will actually contain? Given how many solar panels will be needed I'm concerned about backing away from RoHS principles.

For background, the French military industrial complex is in serious trouble. For example, the US had to step in to take over supplying submarines to Australia when France proved unable to complete the contract: https://www.cnbc.
