   When you're looking at the disk, do you use a handheld magnifying glass and go by sight, or are you running your fingers over the disk to feel the position of each electron?

   Sure, but people below the poverty line qualify for housing vouchers, food stamps, utility vouchers, public transportation vouchers, taxpayer-provided cellular phones & cellular service, and more.

   There are circumstances where colloquialisms are appropriate, like using "y'all" instead of "you all". There are circumstances where colloquialisms are inappropriate, like a caucasian person repeating a racial slur

   This really seems to miss the mark, at least for me. I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I hate the office has nothing to do with technology. It's that the office carries prerequisites that rob me of the most valuable no

   I missed this earlier, and can no longer edit, but please note that "supeajority" should read "supermajority".

   What on earth are you talking about? Nazi means national socialist and clearly refers to the despicable values espoused by Adolf Hitler during the third reich of Nazi Germany prior to WW2. These "values" are eugenics, concentratio

   Sugar alone? No, not really. A lot of stuff that doesn't need any added sugar has it (tomato sauce, baby formula, jams/jellies, gravy, salad dressing, etc), but overall, a plurality of the items for sale in my local grocery store

    OP's article TLDR: "Nazis are bad, Nazis are on Substack, Substack should deplatform them." I find it difficult to imagine that expressing opposition to the most universally-opposed people on the planet counts as "Gratif

    Right, which is why I'm a fan of removing SIM cards and fuses. Wonder if it's possible to remove "black box" logging systems without rendering the car in question inoperable. My guess is that even if it is possible now,

    You only have a lot of trouble if you're adamant about looking for all the same kinds of food you did before. It's actually pretty easy if you accept that the total number of items at the grocery store / restaurants has drama

    Isn't the US poverty line a level of absolute wealth that would put one among the top 10-20% highest income humans on earth? I wonder why such prosperous people are still so compelled to commit elevated levels of crime.

    We're the exception, not the norm, unfortunately. A vast supermajority of people in the West seem to have absolutely no qualms about having an always-on, always-recording device next to them 24/7 that reports pretty much everythin

    How did you translate "replace a bunch of internals" to "with a few modifications"? The guys doing "a few mods" are not the same guys "replacing a bunch of internals". Besides, I wasn't really ta

    I wonder what Baltimore, St Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, and Cleveland (and maybe Chicago?) have in common that SF, Seattle, Portland, Austin, Denver, NYC, Boston, and LA don't. There has to be some hidden third variable besides a weak

    All of those cities have average or below average reporting of crime, which informs the statistics you're citing from. But the sum of reported crimes is almost certainly considerably smaller than the sum of all crimes actually occurrin

    For DIY efforts, sure. Blatantly untrue for commercial modification though. There is no shortage of performance shops that will take a car that makes a couple hundred HP from the factory, replace a bunch of internals, completely void the wa

    Removing the SIM card or a specific fuse from the car is a strategy that has worked well for me. On a lot of these "connected" cars, they use a pretty ordinary cellular data connection. Break that connection and you break the data

    You think Kia and Hyundai are bad? Focus one or two more layer in, at specific models ans trims, instead of whole makes. Check out the theft rates on Dodge Chargers and Dodge Challengers in the Hellcat trim level.

    Just to be clear though, Messenger is still closed-source, so this all still gets lumped into the "source: trust us" bucket, no?
