I liked the coin bucket because there was a skill about how an efficient driver could toss the change into it without even stopping.

Seems like a mistake to rely on it for anything other than entertainment or simple education. Perhaps what makes it a mistake is now it's yet another vehicle for distraction content gaming for attention space. Parents will attest, th

Don't think I've ever done this. I reach under it, press the release button with one finger and with the adjacent finger grab the indentation under the card and slide it out. Card comes out in like two seconds.

Spares kept on hand with the base image is industry standard IT practice, and it even skips the Apple store. When the day rate is high enough to talk about it, they still have to result to ordering just in time.

We bought all of ours for the idea of not being glued to the Apple ecosystem, and that reality has provided the performance our group requires. Each unit is the top of the line i7 and they last all day - any further requirements for even f

The fastest highway in the United States is the 85 mph controlled access public-private venture toll road east of Austin. State income tax is not a thing in Texas, and that road would have otherwise not been completed at the price or sched

I've taken the time to rebuild a large music collection locally. I've adopted every CD collection my friends and family have set aside to rust. It's immensely satisfying to scroll a gigantic list of 40,000 tracks and just p

This a byproduct of metric-driven development. The result is a creepy manifestation of force-fed features backed by "telemetry" (action and result logging, and sometimes keystroke or string logging), but I don't place any bl

I was surprised when I saw that in Windows 11 Safe Mode, the Start Menu appeared to have two forms: the first of which would not appear to show typing, but then it would be replaced with the other layout after a lag with the query in the in

American cops, fire, and EMS will go upstream on a one way road, or use the sidewalk or the grass if they have to. The Blues Brothers film may even be the material used to train some of the more ambitious departments.

Add one more to that: put the car in the garage with a full tank to find out it has no gas when you take it out for a spin a week later.

I shut mine down completely and haven't had the battery drain issue, but on "modern standby," yes these don't last very long. Probably 2-3% per hour on standby and worse than that if anything is plugged into the expansi
