My dishwasher does not come close to doing 90% of clearing the table, washing the dishes, drying and putting them away. My laundry machine is certainly better than by hand, but folding laundry and putting it away is significant.

More importantly for an airplane, you can't watch Netflix (or most streaming movies) offline on a laptop. Though I've never used a Surface, maybe you can do that with some kind of mobile app that runs on a hybrid thing.

I believe Xbox is named that because it was originally, tragically, named the "DirectX Box". DirectX had the X because it was a combination of several APIs, all called DirectPlay, DirectSound, etc. But perhaps in a larger sense, m

What this highlights is that online we have lost - or at least eroded - social norms. If I see a sign that says "no vehicles allowed", it's obvious they don't mean wagons and strollers. In almost all cases the police and

I just reloaded Big Sur on a 10 year old Macbook (the last OS version it supports), and it runs like that video. My 2 year old HP laptop running Windows, on the other hand, runs the way we're thinking about.

His reason is that if he can program it, he is no longer at the whims of the manufacturer. They decided that two timers were "bad UX?" He can theoretically add it back in. I used a bullet journal for a while for the same reason. N

What do you mean by sentient? Aren't most animals we commonly eat sentient? In that the there is an experience of "being" that animal? At least, insofar as we can tell?

I think this strategy will only work a little longer. The crackdown on sharing is only start. As the pressure increases on streaming services to turn more profits I'd expect longer contract lengths. I wouldn't be surprised to see

I would never move into a home without a lease. A lease protects a tenant as much as the landlord. What's preventing you from raising the rent arbitrarily or canceling the agreement with little to no notice?

Eh, your explanation makes it sound like the radar "image" is as divorced from physical coordinates as a spectrogram or a bar chart. Radar images are at least phyicalish... the asteroid does look similar to the image in real life.

Thanks for the clip, it really is pretty dumb. They just had a challenge where they jumped/fell off the cliff with a bungee cord as a team-building exercise. It looks like they were expected to say "yes" to that but say &quot
