The only reason I have a state ID is for buying Sudafed. I was tired of "my system won't scan your passport". I disagree with the person that replied to you, you really don't need a state ID for anything.

I asked my doctor to write me a prescription for pseudoephedrine once. They rip open the box (before you get to the pharmacy), dump the pills into a standard pill bottle, and then charge you $5 instead of $11. No ID / signing the led

Never! We're still fighting a war on drugs, and it's crucial that the government know the names of all allergy sufferers. If people could have as much Sudafed as they wanted then... they might be able to smell all of the marijua

Only if it remains tolerable, though. I think they're playing around with something pretty risky; they don't integrate with any mobile devices, they don't have a web browser that any sites support, etc. and thus there is not

Why does Microsoft even bother with a desktop OS these days? They have moved on to The Cloud like everyone else, so people can buy Word and not their OS. All Windows really has is a long tail of legacy apps (many of which are very good, an

I don't think the OP trolled them. It's their mistake, and he pointed out the mistake. "We'll hire a contractor to do whatever they want with your computer, or you go to jail." is not a fair way of resolving the s

Well, the government has to take action against you, the site operator, if you aren't enforcing the rules correctly. That means they have to think of every possible way to monitor the traffic, both in-band and out-of-band. They then

I'm fine with age assurance. If you're under 13, you go to the post office to prove that you're under 13, they digitally sign some token on your phone, and then your access is restricted according to the law. If you are an

I think yellow and amber are a good example of similar confusion in English. According to the NYS driver's manual, traffic lights are yellow and marker lights on vehicles are amber. They both look yellow to me. Doing some research a

Colors are not necessarily a single wavelength, and the human visual system can't distinguish between identical "tristimulus" caused by a single wavelength or a mixture of wavelengths. This is why color monitors with red, gr

The Orange Pi 5 has a very similar CPU and is comparable in cost. The Plus is the "premium" model with things like 2x 2.5G ethernet ports.

If I was going to go back and time and offer younger myself career advice, I would probably say "just stick with C++". It was the most popular programming language when I started my career. It will be the most popular programmin

I have the same chip and it's amazing to see it idle at 75W after growing up on Intel chips that use like 5W at idle. Of note is that Zen 2 (the 3970x's microarchitecture) is 7nm. The new Threadrippers are on a 5nm process. I wo

What was Reddit's angle, anyway? It feels like they saw crypto was hot in 2020, and organizational inertia made it impossible to launch a coin until 2022. By then, crypto's unbridled enthusiasm phase was over. I don't thin

Severance is basically marketing for future hires. You hope, as a company, you will be around in a few years and will be hiring again. If all the employees laid off during tough times get severance, then the company can say "even if

I think the original intent for carry-on + personal item is that a carry-on is a backpack and the personal item is your purse (so only 50% of the population has one). They stopped measuring carry-ons and now people take an ordinary suitcas

They can replace the in-flight magazine with a dustpan and some wet wipes and skip cleaning entirely. Do it once a year at the C check or whatever. Uptime!
