CRANE first. If the A and E are not both present and there are no green consonants, HOIST, else figure out a word that tests common di- or triglyphs (ch, cri) based on known letters that also contains O.

Bought a stock p5a, stuck on Graphene through the web installer, added apps from F-droid and Aurora. No Google stuff. A hell of a lot of apps run without even installing the Google services framework, and Aurora sure helps: anything requiri

Any of several alternative OSs have small-to-no ties to Google, though Google is a heavyweight in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). E.g. my phone runs GrapheneOS, and it is doing that while I am not logged in to a Google account, runn

It has been tried, but failed to pass in a bill in Indiana in 1897. [0] Such a bill would probably pass now in Indiana, and many other states, given the wishful thinking on so many other issues that can't be resolved by legislation, bu

CCP's position on the war defined. Listening to the politicians is a waste of time: what they do is the only touchstone.

Yep. Armor and ground support A/C have been shown much more vulnerable to shoulder-launched countermeasures than they were even ten years ago, and it isn't even close, though I hate to see A-10s rendered obsolete - for that is wha

The British Starstreaks are looking very promising to do just that to ground support A/C. https://nitter.net/Osinttechnical/status/1510094022970417160...

ok, so TIL the Basque were a widespread seafaring nation waaay ahead of the Portuguese, with whom my education seems to have started. Terrific!

Yagh. Today coffee is good for you. Yesterday and tomorrow it is bad for you. The thread running through nutritional research is "yep, could be good or bad for you", so why not do what pleases you?

So very many applications! One is it will make lashing up an approximately-OK control system easier early in a project. There are five or six machine designs in my past where having a rudimentary control system was needed for initial testin

Do you not find the dispersion of ratings more interesting than the averages? Within most sites that promote ratings there is often a standard-ish dispersion, and an outlier is of far greater concern to me than the average. A solid 3 for

It was J&J whose reaction to the poisoning of Tylenol is taught as a PR masterstroke in B-school. Apparently they didn't integrate the lesson.

Link sent Chromium-based Vanadium to some sort of catch-all Reuters site instead of crashing as it did with Bromite. First time I recall having seen such a wack behavior.

Needed to be said. I will not buy a post-2012 car because of the invasion of nanny features and telemetry. Current rides: 2003 Tacoma truck, 2005 Subaru wagon.

Then this seems to mean that the 'Dialer' function in a lot of Android phones separates functionality at the wrong point, is that right? Having 'Dialer' as selectable should not include the ability to select what ought

There is a parallel to this comment that is not much thought about in mechanical CAD: some designers use tools that get the job done, but the model breaks if you look at it funny. It is all too easy to fall in this trap unless management is

And yes, they do. The filesystem of the original ipod convinced me that Apple didn't want to build computers that played music but instead wanted to mediate their influence. A site "anythingbutipod.com" convinced me to go for

Whatever is going on with the Navy, it doesn't seem to be well understood by flag officers. There have been far too many reports of crew exhaustion and confusion, too many reports of faulty or ill-designed user interfaces, and too litt

Keyence is my go-to for a number of sensors. Their datasheets are always borne out by the sensors' performance. I never hesitate in ordering their equipment.

It means something, which in this case means "taste is individual". I prefer to take the advice of my green tea supplier, who tells me to use 75°C water for brewing my tea. Using other advice is up to the user. Not my monkeys, not

It's just odd that one would not make green tea at anywhere near the right temperature. Green tea is simply not comparable with black; they are fundamentally different. It is as if there were an ISO standard on the quality of fruits an
