Is it, or do we simply have more miles driven per capita? We are a big country. Not Monaco, where you could walk to anywhere else in Monaco to join a friend for breakfast

Hard to imagine your outrage is real. Go to the closest stop sign and watch who comes to a complete stop. Is it anyone ?

This is BS. Most human drivers do rolling stops. If you didn't want your Tesla to do a rolling stop, you had the option to set your FSD beta profile to a more conservative setting. Full stops, when no cross traffic is present, waste ti

Yes, it’s still a thing, although virtually no one is using it for new projects.

Yes, this happened to me with a throwaway gmail address I once had. Correct name and (strong) password, BS about a different device. I never regained access. Luckily nothing of real value was lost. My primary email account is on Fastmail th

Definitively: v7 works with stand-alone / non agilebits-synced databases; v8 will not. (I think v8 is out for Windows but not yet Mac.) I am a long-time 1Password user who recently made the leap to their hosted service. 1Password remai

dumb question: is there any way to get similar effects on a Mac? are there third-party tools that can change macOS appearance so dramatically?

Is there an easy way to "share" a URL from iOS/iPhone to Zotero? They have an iOS app in closed, full beta, with an App Store version apparently coming soon. In the meantime, are there solutions?

There is one possibility which this community will flag & downvote anyone for suggesting, which is shameful; the idea should be entertained and then dismissed, if appropriate. You may be interested to see Kaiser Permanente's rece

Parson is clearly a bad actor. View source is not a crime and it is prosecutorial misconduct — ESPECIALLY when informed by a professional that no network intrusion occurred — to charge anyone for it.
