Quite honestly, you're seeing the difference between reasonable doubt, needed to secure a conviction, and probable cause, in this case the bullshit justification of the police to seize the assets because there is some likelihood of an

This is a non-starter from the get go. Water will remain an unsolvable and unsustainable resources regardless of the number of times you pull that wish out of your ass.

Self-compassion is key in combatting a lot of that negative self talk. Always ask yourself, “Would I talk this way to another person?” If the answer is “no” then maybe it’s time you stop treating yourself this way and react with more intern

I feel for all of you in this thread that work at Amazon and complain of the poor conditions. There are no shortage of stories that point to a very large problem in that company, for certain. However, I believe the underlying theme, if the

Sadly we do, they're just called drones and they are used to kill people. (Sorry, don't mean to be so dystopian)

That "brake for no reason" is a big one. I have a 2015 GMC SUV that has "adaptive cruise control" which I (used to) love. Since my last service, it seems they've updated it and it's far more sensitive than it u

Twitter is not owned by the Government.

Your argument is completely flawed. Twitter has no Civic obligation here. As a Corporation they have a fiduciary responsibility, not to the President or his messaging, but to its broader users. The fact that there was hate speech by a user,

Twitter also has its Terms of Service and we are all expected to follow those. There have been many that have been banned from Twitter for violent and/or hate speech. What makes the President any different? Why should he get held to a

But, to that point, why not just ask Alexa or Siri. I’m certain they have increments at a finer granularity of time than every 15 minutes.

It likely has everything to do with our current President’s inability to strike a diplomatic tone in any public discourse. Please don’t down vote me for an obvious statement, but I do feel the maturity of Political discourse was brought to

I have to agree. Google suffers from a really bad case of ADHD when it comes to creating anything for consumption by outside developers...there is a long list and Dart and GWT are just two that stand out because there are large codebases ou

If it's a drug that blocks entry of the virus into human cells, wouldn't it be ineffective on already infected human beings?

Clearly you’ve never struggled to the extent someone has where they finally HAD to reach for help. I love that a large group of people that are well and don’t have ADHD seem to think they can tell people with ADHD that they’re full of shit

Not at all. He talked to a County official that confirmed the Industrial Pollution, cited an app that has other anecdotal accounts by others in Pittsburgh. His article isn't simply a one line about smelling something.

Excellent challenge to the big OEM's. I doubt many will give it a second thought. What I'd love to see is some of the gifted and talented Makers we've seen in 2019 whip out their dremels and 3D printers and say, "THIS is

I use Linux exclusively and have since 2003. Also, I don't put any of my work in google drive/docs/GSuite for anything. Google simply has enough of my life, I'm not giving them my business data as well.

The primary reason for the single Apple supported AppStore is platform control and by that I mean they can control quality, security, content (remember Steve Jobs said he wasn't making a product for people to stream PORN on) and the ty

I think this point needs to be highlighted here: No power = no cell coverage Landlines are a thing of the past and for the most part that means that people lack the ability to call for help beyond your basic 911 service. So we’ve effectivel
