I mean... just get a burner phone and transfer the number over for your travel duration and call it a day seems easier than all this. Cheapo iPhone Mini on one of the refurb sites'll run you a couple hundred bucks. Not too too bad if y

I read a NYT's article that said heat stroke's much more common in the start of summer than the end, so I made a conscious effort to get out walking a ton during this years first heat dome... and I'm pretty sure it works pret

Is there any indication this man was aggressively trying to enter the room before the technician eventually let him in? The article just says his wife called out to him, then the tech let him in and that's it.

Agreed, most wasps are super chill if you're not a jackass to 'em. Watching 'em lick up some sugar water is pretty neat in my experience, what with the way they clean their little legs.

Maybe if you instead phrased it as "there's a magnetic field in there that will shear anything magnetic straight through your body if you're holding it on the wrong side of you" that might help folk get the picture a bit

I guess the timeline suggests maybe they never expected him to go in, until the wife called out to him. Maybe he's a big dude and it was just under his shirt/vest or something? When I look up "weight training necklace" i

This explains so much. I was wondering how in the hell the damn chain I've already broken twice with mere snags was going to hurl my body through the air towards a machine like that. Yeesh, what would happen with a wedding ring? If it

Countries are often gigantic though? There's plenty of state and local efforts going on in the United States despite the federal government currently backtracking for instance. Does that count as... worth burning tons of fossil fuels t

How would one find out what data brokers knew from their cash purchases? Do banks sell this information? This bill was pulled from this ATM in Georgia by one Claudius McMoneyhands, and then deposited by one CashMoneyBusiness LLC in South Ca

So slow until a learning curve is hit (or as one user posited "until you forget how to work without it"). But isn't the important thing to measure... how long does it take to debug the resulting code at 3AM when you get a Pag

I can't tell you what sirens outside do to my sleep, but I can tell you they can be very agitating when I'm trying to fall asleep. It's funny though how during the recent heat dome I could barely sleep after sealing the windo

I also find creating my own little shortcuts to be super satisfying and of course very transferable since they work out of the box. ```some examples " Quick access to commonly edited config files (and a directory for my Shell scripts!)

You got downvoted for the snark, but damned if it ain't a reasonable opinion. If you read the seminal "Design of Everyday Things" by Norman Rockwell you'll come away annoyed at half the physical _doors_ you walk through.

The fact frequent, repeated contact with the customer isn't the norm is why so many interfaces suck and so many engineers could't design a decent one with a gun to their head (although, frankly, that level of stress might not indu

Just wrapped up reading "The British are Coming" by Rick Atkinson (great book!) about the start of the American Revolution and half the letters from the generals were in request for or talked of shipments of rum and mead and wine.

We're all just going to be glorified debuggers trawling through reams of generated code we've never seen before to root out the hallucinations.

Even short day dreams can be incredibly productive which is why I keep my phones in the other room away from me. This forces me to get up and walk into the other room every time I have to do 2FA at work which has a ton of benefits. I'l
