Does that mean fixed rate for 30 years? That would be unthinkable in the UK. From what I’ve seen, even 10 years would be unconventional.

On a similar note, I just bought a Greaseweazle. Floppy disc to USB capture. https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle I've been through some childhood 5 1/2 inch floppies. Some still work. Found some old BBC BAS

Similar to other comments, I think that a useful "flowchart" needs decision points. It also needs loops, else it's just a simple tree, precluding a lot of use-cases for flow charts.

Corporal means “of the body” too. Though, as siblings comments have noted, in a less theological framing.

Asking out of pure curiosity, as you repeated that spelling. In the UK we say “corporal” not “corporeal”. Is the latter standard in US English?

I fear we’re getting into xkcd 386 but… As svieira says above, Link is a standard thing. It’s widely used. CSS is even based on it. Another example is ‘canonical’. https://http.dev/link#canonical You may not have encountere

At a cursory search, Link appears in 1996. It was there before CSS. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1945#appendix-D.2.6

Seems like there’s a multitude of similar situations to deal with with modern front development. This would hardly be more “evil” than anything else.

Curious, what’s concerning? Links à la IETF RFC 5988 are pretty vanilla web stuff.

I'm not clear which bit doesn't work on other browsers. Is it the use of a Style Link in the headers rather than body? Or the use of an inline stylesheet as a data URI? Or the styling of a document with no content? Although the co

Their billing collections dept is outsourced to Accenture (they say so in the email sig) and from my support conversations are pretty much siloed off.

Something similar but different happened to me. I know someone who works at Google in a distant dept. The best he could do was try to follow the internal escalation policy, which was broken, so he filed an internal bug about the process. I

Lots of people voted for it. They believe they are good people. Of course they won’t believe facts that challenge that.

It’s also a proxy to let Conservative voters, who have kept this government in power for a decade, off the hook. This didn’t happen by accident. IMO voters should be able to hold each other for their choices.

In the Tesla FSD video[0] the driver spent a lot of time swiping back and forth on the map. If that touchscreen were an iPad, that behaviour would be illegal in the UK. I don't know what the road law is in the US, and if they sell the

Aside from the FSD, is it legal to interact with the touchscreen like that while driving? I think it would be in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/using-mobile-phones-when-driving-the-law
