I just started doing the same last week (weird to suddenly see this thread after not much mention of SG1 for a long time...) and agree it is great. It is nice to watch as a series instead of the random odd episode I saw as a kid watching ca

People don’t realise this when they think of landfill. In future, we could have an effective way of mining landfill for resources. Some forms of recycling now are highly inefficient and it’s conceivable that we’d be better off utilizing la

Yea, it seems to come down to the penalties being high enough that this fraud isn't worth it. As a software engineer, the idea of writing in my bad handwriting the tip and total and then someone who is probably in a hurry typing it in

Right, so you're saying it up to me to notice and call the credit card company? In that case, I need to go through my statement and remember that the $70 charge was supposed to be $60, or have the receipts and check it. That isn't

I cannot understand how this works at restaurants in the US. Last time I visited it went like this: 1. I get a bill ($50 for example) and give the server my card 2. A card payment notification appears on my phone for the $50 payment with my

I looked into the eGPU for the same reason, to have a single machine to do it all. In the end I got a separate machine as it was cheaper to do so (!!) and saw people having lots of issues with eGPU support. I couldn't believe the price

M1 is amazing and I bought my partner one and she loves it. However, when it came to buying a new engineer on our team a laptop, we had to go with the last 2020 Intel model. We still have some uncertainty over whether or not our development

It’s an interesting observation and sparks thought and discussion. Discussion into how the observation is true in many ways, e.g. the clustering around resources. But also discussion into how it’s not true, e.g. political lines or nature pr

I see, so my assumption was wrong. I've just gone on Zillow to investigate a little more and they don't state anywhere where their "lot lines" come from. However, it seems to vary by location. Some places don't seem
