   And there’s still a design language underpinning the site. It’s chaotic and loud and whatever, but the elements are consistent. It’s not random. Still has a theme and a palette. I like it as well.

   I suspect the cop will have heard all of these explanations a hundred times by the time they pull you over, and will write the ticket anyway. :)

   I had the same results. Super easy on audio samples, tough on video-only ones. I suspect we're all so used to compressed video that AI artifacts can hide in that noise. Just the other day a video of Putin was tagged as "green scre

   The variant explained in the page doesn't allow for this pre-planning. You don't know what rank you will need, because you won't know what the next lead will declare when they start a round.

   Heh. For me all the odds are male and the evens are female. Except for 10; he's a dude. My weird thing is that they all have a color. 0 is gray, 1 is blue, 2 is yellow, 3 is red, 4 is green, 5 is blue again, 6 is purple, 7 is red, 8 is

   I think this is what separates a good photographer from... me. I've tried various zoom levels before—and aspect ratios, focal lengths, etc—but I can never capture in an image what I'm seeing with my eyes. Either the enormous mount

   Because the temperature we're talking about is the wet bulb variety. That means it accounts for evaporation. What is normally a windchill is now a "windwarm" effect. (Yes, I know that windchill effect isn't solely due

    I really am finding new layers to this game. I play hard mode, and when entering my initial guess, I try to put common letters in uncommon positions. I'd much rather get a bunch of yellows than a bunch of greens at this stage.

    I think their coverage is still spotty. I'm in California, and searched some names I know. The results came from some counties, but nothing from others. Notably I never saw anything from Los Angeles County, but tons of results from San

    A few years ago I was consuming a SOAP webservice from a Remedy ticket handling system. While developing my end of it, I saw all sorts of weird 3-character clusters in some notes fields. I don't remember what they were exactly, but som

    Top notch ASCII art there, thanks. Yeah, I'm no combustion engineer or anything, but I just can't see what would motivate a system like that. I suppose the rider has the ability to snap the throttle shut instantly, but you could a

    That rate is for the 4WD version. The 2WD version has a fatality rate of 28. Now I'm going to assume that adding the 4WD option to your sedan isn't that good at increasing safety. Yeah, more driving wheels does improve control a

    That sounds like a nightmare. What was the rationale for having a split control system like that? If preventing snaps of wide open throttle were the goal, then having the butterflies both servo controlled would accomplish that right? Wait,

    So don't start with those words. Or, force yourself each day to start with one you haven't used yet. That's what I do. I now forget what the "optimal" word is (STARE? AISLE?), but my first guess usually has somethin

    My personal rule is that two-letter state abbreviations should only be used on postal addresses. For writing, spell it out, or use the longer abbrev. (like Calif., or Colo.) I live in Ontario, CA. Pop quiz, where do I live? :)

    I don't think so. I was a delivery driver and so was also responsible for pulling the pizzas off the end of the oven conveyor, slicing them, and boxing them, so I can't be sure if some special government cheese was used in the pre

    Well when someone is asking me for a random digit, the last thing I want to be is predictable ! To avoid the shame and embarrassment of being basic, I go with 2. Or maybe 9. Depends on my mood.

    You just reminded me of something from when I worked at a pizza place. Most of the time we sold pizzas cut the normal way. Either 6, 8, or 10 slices using a circular cutter. The normal style you might have in your kitchen. But one Wednesday

    I've confirmed this experimentally. (As in, I asked a bunch of people to "pick a number from 1 to 10"). But that was a long time ago, and I wonder if the common knowledge that '7' is the most popular would sway peop

    Spell check doesn't seem to work. When I manually trigger one, the Dictionary dropdown doesn't have any options to choose from. Does LibreOffice expect the OS or Desktop to provide a dict?

    Such a simple answer. Thanks. I just did a 10x10 times table and got the following prevalences: [27, 4, 12, 4, 12, 9, 12, 4, 12, 4] So '0' has 27% probability, '5' has 9%, and the rest of the evens 12%, the rest
