My wife enjoyed her 6P, then it died prematurely of bootloop. As did the warranty replacement one. Got a double payout from the eventual class action suit.

That article does say that only 4% is "grass-fed", but I don't think that implies 96% of beef cattle never graze, merely that they don't graze enough to meet the "grass-fed" labeling requirements. I grew up on

My kids and I had a great time going through the first 3 Monkey Island games. The Remastered versions of 1 & 2 with full voice acting helped keep my kids engaged. They we pretty stoked to see Ron Gilbert's announcement that he&#x2

Then you can look at the excess deaths statistics from the time the pandemic started, but before vaccines became available. It paints a similar picture. A lot more people "than usual" dying in 2020 (before vaccines in US).

Over 20 years ago, as a teen, I went to St. Louis with my mom who was attending an art teachers' conference. I think the City Museum was almost ready to open to the public, and the conference arranged to let us all in one night. The p

But according to the article, they can be stopped by trees (at least sometimes). So... maybe they could make a "wall" by planting a row of trees along the border? Maples are nice.

Being able to drive on wheels while "kneeling", was really interesting. Could see it being useful for robots to choose mode best suited to current terrain. Wheels for roads, feet for climbing. Does this count as a Transformer?

Mods is part of it, but the biggest reason my 12 year-old insisted on switching to Java is because he says redstone behaves differently. He'd try to recreate a cool build he saw in a book or online, and get super frustrated when it jus

The problem is that which microbes do the job depends on how much oxygen is available. If there's not enough, like when buried, the decomposition is anerobic. This produces a lot more methane than aerobic decomposition.

Agreed. Better option would be to hire someone to cut the grass and bill the property owner for it.

40 million... I knew there was a lot, but didn't realize that many. Another comment says closer to 5 million physical towers, still a lot. A lot of these towers have GPS receivers for clock syncing as well, don't they? Back in co

Conspiracy theory: Intel is using their deeper pockets to buy up TSMC fab capacity in an effort to slow AMD production. Doing so gets them breathing room to improve their own manufacturing process before TSMC can bring on enough capacity t

I was surprised when a Romanian friend told me tips were common in hospitals over there. The national healthcare system was "free", but a surgery might still cost a couple hundred in gifts to the surgeon, anesthesiologist, etc.

https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/ Is pretty good. Can filter by mission, instrument, or target. Resolution is kind of hit or miss, as a lot of it is raw or minimally processed, but that is part of the fun.

I agree with you in principal, but offer a small counterexample: I was a student worker at a university with a documentation / training dept. We maintained a wiki used by faculty and staff. We encouraged adoption with other groups, a

I feel the fraud part is when states claim having a lottery will provide more money for schools and then in the following years they cut general education spending. I even remember hearing ads on radio encouraging folks to "pay-it-forw

I get the point you are trying to make, but the pedant in me wanted to point out that Europe does have a GPS alternative up and running (Galileo) so that they aren't dependent on US satellites.

I think if we get to AGI full-length movie directors, they won't care if you like it or not. Humans will no longer be the target audience.

Growing up, my hometown wasn't big enough for a dedicated bookstore (~1400 residents), but there was a small gift shop on Main Street. It had lots of little knicknacks and other things associated with giving gifts. Past the cards and

I'm American, and I cannot tell either. The thing is, sitting Presidents usually get re-elected. Last election seemed like there was a Trump-related controversy every week, and he still managed to win. They say cats hit terminal veloci

That's exactly why I like the link I posted. It tries to provide context on how many people die with covid, flu, pneumonia, or some combination of the 3. Then more importantly, it looks at the overall death rate. Because even if you

My previous employer did this pretty well. They had a paid internship program, but they also had started as an AS/400 shop writing RPG code, which none of the local colleges taught anymore. So, they basically developed their own cours
