TSA certainly may search your bag, but they're "checked" bags in the sense that coats are "checked" into a coatroom - they are handed over to someone else to be delivered to you later.

I was once a temp worker hired to transfer a bunch of records from an old, terminal-based mainframe into a newer Windows-based app for an insurance company. I spent about an hour doing so and then went and asked the supervisor if their IT d

Slightly bigger, because in the US the regulation is on trailer length, whereas European regs are on total length. So Euro trucks are all cab-over designs, while American trucks are generally engine-in-front (easier to access for maintenanc

Because it runs counter to the narrative of gun control advocates. Almost no gun crime is committed with legally obtained guns by previously law-abiding people. The pro-2A response to gun control requests based on crime is often to say &quo

Luxury buses are a thing. Vonlane in Texas is a great example. Downtown to downtown, reasonably fast, and more space than a business-class air seat. The whole coach only has 22 seats, and charter rates - to the extent that I can find inform

In the US, it's much more the norm to start the fuel running, then go inside and buy whatever you need, and come back out to find that your car is full and you can simply drive off. Do Australian pumps not have the little latch to allo

I wouldn't be so terribly sure. <em>Mississippi</em> voters approved medical marijuana last year by a fairly strong majority https://ballotpedia.org/Mississippi_Ballot_Measure_1,_Initia... . The vote w

You could, but really, what would HSR in Texas get you? None of those has especially good local transit networks to connect to. Houston and Dallas are famously huge sprawls. If you're talking about downtown to downtown, there's al

I don't need to consult a map all that often, but I use mapping software on my phone because it's traffic-aware and knows routes that locals might but tourists often don't. Most people know one good way to get to regular de

Plastic just lets you see it. Wax paper works perfectly well for protecting things from desiccation.

That's how it's done everywhere I know of in the US. You do have to pay a bit more to have the second meter, but since sewage treatment is often more expensive than initial water treatment, you save quite a lot on balance.

The owner or lessee for mineral rights has the right to access them. So they can build structures, roads, etc. This is one reason why landowners typically work with mining/oil companies, because the company could just choose to put the

As others have pointed out, the driver has to rest. The truck does not. It's an expensive piece of capital equipment that you want to keep on the road at all times until it needs maintenance. This is a good example of where swappable b

Also, thick-inked ballpoint pens greatly increase the amount of pressure required to write. Cursive is faster if you use a fountain pen or a quill, but disjointed writing is faster with a regular Bic. If you've never tried one, a rolle

There were workarounds like TOC cloning to keep the transfers digital (by making the device think it was playing something from an analog source, not a digital one, so it would allow a digital copy over SCMS), but those were not possible on

I can see this. Offer to meet them at a police station. If it's a phone, meet them at your carrier's store and have a rep confirm that the phone will work and can be activated on their network (no IMEI block, correct frequencies,

It's still the preferred shipping method of jewelers, last I checked. The government takes the security of the mail very seriously, and you can insure registered mail packages for up to $50k.

For AP's, I've been happy with the TP-LINK EAP245's I bought. They're reasonably inexpensive, will do VLANs, and have controller software that's not too different from the Unifi stuff, but it's just for the AP&

Useful tip: carry a metal object (keys, soda can) with you. Grab it with as much surface area as possible (holding the twisting part of the key, or the whole of the can) and use the tip of the key or lid of the can to touch metal. Because y

As a non-IT pro, I'm willfully ignorant of certain aspects of IT. I have, and like, my Mac. I love my iPad. But I don't own an iPhone, because everyone at work knows I'm the guy who can solve computer problems in a flash, and
