Well, not his "child", I think it was a grand-nephew that he was the legal guardian of. Small point, but significant to disclosure requirements which focus on immediate family members.[1] I tend to think this whole string of ethic

You’re blaming Musk for a wave of layoffs in the tech industry? That he gave permission to other companies to do it? Are you saying the layoffs made good business sense but somehow these companies were prevented from doing so? What was prev

I think you find some of these people “getting political” because they’ve been cornered and/or burned by media/government/politicians/ngos, badly. It destroys a lot of illusions they have/had about establishment pol

Ransomeware, eh? In the same way that me not paying my Office 365 license is a ransomeware time bomb by a greedy vendor when I suddenly can’t access my data after license expiration unless I pay up? Sounds more like a licensing dispute than

I'd be curious if anyone has experience with the Manta Sound mask, specifically if they're really able to sleep on their side without uncomfortable pressure from the speaker between pillow and ear. Hard to imagine it working for a

I think the idea is that Windows will occasionally not wake up properly, leaving the user to “choke it out” (power button for 5 sec to force a hard shut down, power button to power up). Sorry if you had any unsaved work. Personally, Hiberna

I found Elon’s reaction interesting when a reporter asked about SpaceX being critical path. It’s almost as if Elon sputtered as he stumbled over his usual false starts to answer - no, we will not be the ones delaying Artemis.

I’m surprised there’s no mention of the rule of pi - take the estimates (guaranteed to be optimistic) and multiply by pi. As reasonable and accurate as just about everything else there. :D

In truth, you’d never know if you didn’t know. It was more the act, the misguided motivation, and the impossibility of ignoring it having been privy to the original during formative years. Will changing Agatha Christie’s novels be terribly

I wouldn’t worry about future compatibility anytime soon but Win11 is starting to get some noticeable feature improvements that won’t ever come to Win10 - e.g. phone link for iPhones, sandbox reboots.

Yes, certainly not my area. As far as I know the M1917 is just a P14 chambered in .06. The P13/14 Lee-Enfield was built/designed as an improvement to the SMLE, though as you say, probably incorrect to call it a “derivative” so muc

Small bit of trivia, but the M1917 Enfield rifle, used by American forces in WWI and a derivative of the SMLE from the UK, was actually produced in CT, but in New Haven not Enfield. :^)

Re: size - you can buy 2kW generators that are scarcely bigger than a regulation piece of carry-on luggage, so yeah, store it in the trunk. Worried about the smell of fuel from the empty generator you never use? If so, wrap it up in garbage

I don’t know that it’s wildly impractical. Some people carry battery-powered emergency jump starters for their ICE car. This just seems like the reciprocal backup power solution. Carrying a generator seems very practical to me if you are

And how many miles and hours to Denver? There’s your comparison.

A leaf blower is about 11 lbs of CO2 per hour of use.[1] A car produces about a pound per mile. Let’s say that is +- 30% depending on variables of trip. [1] https://www.quietcleanpdx.org/wp-content/uploads/2019&#x2
