Ditto that. Hours and hours on these in the 1990s. Mostly Mathville and Offshore Fishing, of course.

I was responding to your flippant suggestion to "Quarantine, voluntary or otherwise, the elderly and at-risk then." Which I pointed out is not possible, because those people depend on many other healthy people to care for them.

I'm not suggesting "lockdowns" here. I'm advocating for indoor air quality regulation: maximum CO2, minimum fresh air ACH, deploying upper room UVGI ~everywhere. Universal masking (N95+) in healthcare settings. Acute and

That is impossible, their lives depend on complex care networks of family and staff that would also need to isolate, but cannot for need to interact with other parts of the world. It is a fantasy to consider your suggestion as a solution. E

This is a whole lot of wrong information and eugenicist thinking, yikes. 1) healthy adults and children were and continue to be killed by covid, even if at lower rates. 2) this is horribly devaluing the lives of people with confounding vuln

If there isn't a physical or functional justification for the outfit, yea let people wear that they want. Who cares.

Private facilities and groups are free to have those policies, but I also think its reasonable and expected for members to object and change the rules over time, especially the elites.

Yes, they are. Typically these are enforced as flexible social norms, though, with individuals free to determine reasonable deviations within convention. They'll rarely be used to remove someone. It's an implied dress code, effect

by bfdm 2y ago
As is the explanation all too often, dress codes are simply exclusionary. They're meant to exclude those that do not conform (whether or why they cannot conform or refuse to is secondary). All the other bluster about tradition and stan

I have the opposite experience. Cross view is easy for me but focusing parallel view is very difficult to impossible. When I try to relax my eyes to look past the screen to start the parallel view (I think that's how it is done?) the i

100/mo per employee, it says. Roughly 3k/mo, or 36k annualized.

The token, whatever it is, is a cue or an index card for those experiences and memories. I have a few stashes of old concert tickets and others in scattered drawers, pockets and containers. Stumbling on one is a great rush of memories, and

Your opinion here is at odds with the record for higher traffic throughput and better safety for roundabouts. They are better in pretty much every way, for appropriate situations. Here the situation is uneven road size, through traffic on t

Yep. Canada suburbs here. We're starting to see roundabouts used more often for what would be higher traffic four-ways or inconvenient lights. They're great, both as a driver and as a cyclist. Lower conflict risk, simple rules to

Thanks for sharing your journey with the world. I haven't read them all, but I have read several and while terrifying I know they will help others navigating similar journeys. Rest well and all the love for those close to you.

Managing my tabs in Firefox mobile is such a pain in the ass. Couldn't agree more with needing a big improvement here. Even simple things like putting already open tabs at the bottom of the list when typing in the address bar makes t

This is really nice. Well done! I've had a jeopardy based toy project on the backburner for several years, with the north star goal of solving the problem I've had with every jeopardy game I've ever played: you need an Alex

Directly, as a substitute for more labour intensive sources like manure, compost or crop rotation. Indirectly by increasing yield per acre per day.

Hah, facing a similar gripe so enjoyed this. Unfortunately/thankfully the dryer is on its last legs too, so will likely be replaced by the smart washer sibling unit later this year.

While it might tickle metrics the right way, frustrating a user into giving up because your bot was not satisfied is not solving their problem.

And you could continue to enjoy that experience by only using Apple's own app store, while everyone else would also be free to use other app stores to install apps they want which Apple does not like. See how this still works? You don&

This is mostly as simple as striking out DMCA 1201. The device maker need not bless the activity so long as they do not have a cudgel with which to threaten users from modifying their own devices they bought. I agree we should force platfor

Why would I want that? My phone can provide data via Bluetooth or a hotspot if needed. I don't need to pay for an extra mobile connection.

This sounds great! Then if course the shops exert pressure on suppliers for quality hypothetically, but I wonder this just manifests as optimizing to fail after 5 years mostly reliably.

But it's equally important that where the copying would otherwise be allowed under copyright rules, anti tampering DRM laws (like DMCA 1201) make it criminal to perform or aid that copying. That's why DRM protection for its own sa

In cars with parking sensors, it would likely have beeped at you aggressively unless you disabled that. It doesn't auto-brake but does do a good job of avoiding such impacts by alerting to objects nearby you might not see, including cr
