You can buy cheap cables with USB-C on one end, and USB-A, USB-B, Display Port, mini-DP/Thunderbolt, HDMI, Lightning, mini/micro-USB, etc. on the other end. No need to change devices, just get new cables. There are even tiny littl

Or the Germans' failure showed they were incapable of carrying out the strategy. I find it easy to criticize the acts as abhorrent without the threat of Nazi rule over your head.

Given the brutal efficiency of the Nazis in their conquest, occupation and genocide, I have little problem justifying means of inflicting damage on any significant source of support until the threat is completely neutralized. They were desp

The pluralization does exist, as “those who have perceived” or “those which have been perceived”, but it is indeed a grammatical error in the article's usage. The ç is always correct, but accents are a common casualty of transliteratio

(2009), and doesn’t seem to differentiate flash-pasteurized options like Odwalla and Costco’s brand, which have a taste much closer to fresh-squeezed. I’m guessing those products omit the deoxygenation and flavor enhancement described.

To those longing for milk that tastes like something in the US, I'd suggest finding a supplier of Jersey cow milk if you can, a much richer and more flavorful alternative to the Holstein cow milk most commonly available. Jersey cows pr

True, you should wait until you're 15 to try coke. On a more serious note, that's quite a biased way of thinking about cocaine use. The plant/substance doesn't have the same stigma in, say, Peru, where a 13-year-old is q

True, in the states, 'kills gophers' would be one of the bullet point features. People would probably buy specialized robots whose sole purpose is killing gophers if it was effective, as scary of a prospect as that is.

Digg died, or went bad or something. The exact process is hazy at this point, but I’m pretty sure there was a direct switch.

The manufacturer could have prevented it by supplying a vehicle capable of avoiding collisions. I certainly understand the owner/operator having some form of liability insurance based on usage, but an at-fault collision shouldn't

Why would the operator be liable for an accident for which they’re powerless to have prevented?

Is a giant sequoia tree, the largest of which was able to accumulate ~1350 tons over 2000 years, more successful than the quantity of worms that lived under it during that time? A continual measurement per unit time seems more fair to me th

Because energy is a limited resource, ability to extract a higher share of it implies competitive success. Also, it's possible to convert and directly compare the energy potential lost to the environment through the various mechanisms

by WiseWeasel 8y ago
Yeah, factoring in activities certainly gives us the advantage. I suspect most people have an idea of success more along the lines of mass of other species consumed. That seems unfair to plants though. I feel some measure of chemical impact

by WiseWeasel 8y ago
Ooh, that's an interesting question. I'd have to go with highest total energy consumed through their metabolism and activities. Those with the highest chemical impact on the planet.

I'd suggest a local nursery. They'll hopefully be able to guide you to ones suited to your area and exposure.

The (initial) killer app for this has to be warez. Messaging and publishing seem like compelling uses, but to get people to bust out the credit card to some pod host each month before there's a sufficient network built up to make those

I'd think it would be more exciting in a 'oh the horror, what have we done' kind of perspective. Those things seem scary as hell.

Reporting to me is largely facts with a baseline humanist bias (i.e. AP, Reuters, AFP wire reports) while editorial is opinion seasoned with facts, or all too often, fact-like flavor enhancers. All I'm saying is flavor enhancer sensiti

Certainly there are more than bad faith actors abusing the feature, which could be separated out through changes to the interface.

Well said, and I agree completely about this story. There's still an aspect of this with which I'm unsatisfied, however. What's the character of leadership who would address misuse of the feature by devising weights intended

It's not like being exposed to content biased contrary to our view changes our view; it's just more readily detected as biased, and in certain ways may reinforce our view as we defend it. In any case, the ratio of bias reports&#x2

Certain content might be more or less blatant about it, and as seymour1 suggests, gathering that additional data and cleaning up the currently actionable data really only has upsides. One avenue would be to put those who report the same thi

To me, fake news also includes slanted coverage of true events (i.e. covering events in such a way as to convey a sponsored message, biased polling methodology, etc.). That encompasses statistically approaching 100% of trashy sources you’re

Having tried several syrups, I prefer to mix the carbonated water with fruit juices. Use orange juice to make orange soda, apple for cider-like soda, or any fruit juice you enjoy. I find fruit juice to have a better balance of flavor and sw
