Except that's not what this page does, so it's harder than TFA makes it out to be. I am in a zip code that spans two cities, and it won't let me change the city name at all once I put my zip code in.

I live in a zip code that spans two cities and I live in the unincorporated area between them, but with one of the cities in my preferred address. So at least two of the exceptions listed in this thread apply.

If I had to guess, I would guess that this statement was put there before ChatGPT existed. [edit] Unless this text was buried deeper than the front page and then promoted, I was wrong. That language was not there last November according to

Lasers are coherent emitters; you can definitely make interference patterns with them, so I don't see why LASER MIMO wouldn't be possible, in theory.

I don't know that this is what happened here, but any time there is a push to do more with less, you end up rewarding people who take shortcuts over those who do a proper job, and from the outside, it looks like journalism has a push t

My banking app doesn't even work on the last 3 android phones I tried because it wants a very up-to-date OS which basically means non-Pixel phones more than 2 years old need not apply.

I can't check my device compatibility without Chrome or edge. Is there a reason I can't just see a list of compatible devices to confirm (as I suspect) that it won't work on my phone?

Note that previously this label has been applied (nearly?) exclusively to non-US companies. US companies that don't do business with the DoD are not affected, and non-US companies that do business with the DoD are affected.

Loom is the best looking EGA game ever made. Sadly the VGA remake was hit-and-miss with the visuals.

My wife still misses her Centro. She held onto it until Google Maps removed the API that the maps app on it used.

Please tell me what "If I wanted to build a new car factory, I literally couldn't paint the cars." has to do with white supremacy? Maybe the regulations for new car factories are good, maybe they are bad, maybe Musk was exagg

I see what you're saying; this is true for any game scored win/loss. Even gridiron football if you're down by 4 points with time almost out you won't kick a field goal (worth 3 points).

Yes and no. One could say this of any game with points where the margin of victory doesn't affect long-term outcomes (e.g. most ball games). A win by 1/2 point or 20 points it suggests a very different relative skill between the

Starting a comment with "In the USA..." is the exact opposite of assuming a person is in the US.

Personally, if they just went away on large screens, I'd already be much happier. So many programs I use on my 30" monitor have gone from a readily available quick-to-navigate menu-bar to a horrible hamburger menu that is so self

Ceramic tiles only last until a worker goes on the roof and breaks one. In the US, contractors routinely require you to release them from liability of any damage to ceramic tile shingles. Pest fumigation becomes much more of a pain. That
