And that’s how we ended up with the selfish Boomer meme. Previous generations set them up for success. Rather than paying it forward, they kept those funds along with their own economic growth and left the rest of us in the lurch.

That embedded video threw me for a minute. I don’t associate Sheldon Brown with Toyota Tacomas but rather bicycle repair and nerdery. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/

The entire use case for Authy is the cloud backup and syncing across devices. If you don’t want that, use any of the other free and more open 2FA apps.

Doesn’t even have to be manipulated just incorrect. I share a rather uncommon name with at least two others within five years of my age. I get emails intended for either of them almost daily. One holds political views completely opposite my

Those are usually robo dialers looking for active numbers to resell to spammers/scammers. You answering puts you on their good list. These are also the calls that never leave any type of voicemail. I’m not sure what list VM gets you on

Same with home repair contractors. The person coming over to do the work is unlikely to call from the same number the business hands out that rings an office manager or the owner. Same goes for the person calling me back with an estimate I

It’s a good thing all you have to do is refer to your bribe as a gratuity and it’s perfectly legal thanks to another ruling last week.

Some rights, such as bodily autonomy, are so self-evident the Founders didn’t feel the need to enumerate them.

The overwhelming majority of people do want a lot of things. Gerrymandering in the House and the fact that the Senate gives Wyoming and Vermont the same power as California and Texas prevents that.

Which seems like an enormous power grab on the one hand but I can’t really see any other way for them to be a check on the other branches without that power. There needs to be some legal basis to declare a law invalid. The Constitution (wit

Um. Apple records (the Beatles) had a lengthy legal dispute with an American fruit company from Northern California.

It’s been mostly fine for me but a couple of weeks ago the Disney+ app on my AppleTV got into a crazy state of crashing and immediately restarting over and over. I think the issue was with a DRM related handshake but eventually I had to reb

It's both. The class of younger generations who can afford to be homeowners is much smaller than it was when previous generations were that age. Sure, it was never easy for most 30 year olds to buy a home but now a 30 year old has had

Driver behaviors once the risk of being stopped by a police officer went away during the pandemic beg to differ. Many of those misbehaviors continue today as new habits even after enforcement has resumed to varying degrees.

No. The standard is zero. That's why the FAA investigates every crash or safety incident no matter how small. Realistically, the number will never be zero but if we don't put in the effort to improve constantly, safety will stagna

Sure it will. Not immediately but gradually over time. If we decide it isn't worthwhile to prevent drowning deaths, educational and informational programs will go away. Novices won't fully understand the risks. Programs like my la

It also helps that there is a lack of seismic activity to push codes away from masonry buildings and towards materials that will survive an earthquake. Much of the west can’t build masonry because those buildings fail when the ground moves.

That is either patently untrue or there are a whole lot of loopholes. I used to live in Phoenix more than 20 years ago and had a lawn that matched anything you'd find in Chicago. I still have about a dozen friends living in the Phoenix

A modern fab is basically a super, super clean warehouse. The equipment and layout can easily be changed up for a new generation of products.

Intel gets a sweet break on property taxes too, basically paying a flat fee per year. Otherwise, they could never afford the taxes on $20-40 billion of equipment in a single fab. The state makes up for it by taxing 20,000 well paid employee

Yes. Likely there are multiple points along this route where the vehicle will need to be aligned just so in order to safely make a turn or clear an obstacle. Far easier to do those maneuvers in daylight rather than risk compromising the car

Add whatever challenges you are currently working on at work or your side-hustle to your alarm. Soon, you will see your productivity skyrocket all while getting a few more minutes of much needed "sleep".

I don't know if this is possible for your use case in TX but my local DMV in OR has a months-long wait for a REAL ID appointment. Or, you can walk in and get it done in about 30 minutes most days. I guess they only have one or two peop

It quickly becomes the Service Animal problem. When no one can or is allowed to verify your infosec credentials, everyone becomes a three star infosec General with a simple purchase from Amazon/Alibaba.

You've never done business with a company that has a US presence? You've never visited the US for work or holiday? There's lots of ways to get your data and once they have it, it gets sold repeatedly.

Then those companies need to take out very expensive insurance policies that protect the individuals whose data they must hold. If they can't afford that then they can find a new line of business.

Would these people necessarily know? I mean, if I'm getting quoted $10,000 a year to insure my car and my neighbor pays $1,000 for a similar car, I'm going to notice. But if I'm getting quotes of $1,200 or $1,500 would I know

I have a similar success (and failure mode) with my setup. The Apple TV remote powers on the box and the Nakamichi soundbar and Sony TV respond immediately. If I bring my Sony Blu-ray player to the party, I need to hunt down the soundbar an
