A friend of mine's father is an architect. He designed his living room spesifically for having guests. So instead of the living room being in front of a telly, there are two big sofas facing each other accross a lounge table. Behind

Perhaps I was imprecise. It has a stepped dial, with pre-set wattages. Caveat for not being an electrician. ^^

OMG that one looks like it'd fit right into a Fallout game! How many bottle caps? Here, take them all! Anyway, mine is a Samsung. Affordable too! Edit: Note to self: Stop telling dad jokes on HN.

I don't have a TV, only a few monitors (it's very liberating, actually). So instead I'll talk about my microwave. Yes, unironically! :D It has two dials. OMG how do I survive with only two dials? How do I program it? Well,

How much RAM does this use? I've noticed that if I go down the rabbit hole of discussions on YouTube, in the end it will halt my machine, at least on Chrome. Haven't tested in other browsers. It should be mentioned that I'm a

> Police in many places don't do all the things that they do on television anymore. None of what you're claiming is an argument against using cameras, though. Including the insinuation and logical fallacy that the only experien

With respect, that doesn't seem to be a problem with the video system, but with the police department. As with any professional, a gentle reminder to please do their fn job often helps (this is from personal experience spesifically wit

Aside from general documentation of damage, cameras can also be used to measure the body and movement (for instance gait) of the criminal, which is actually useful for an investigator. It shows where the criminal walked, which is also usefu

If every creator were personally responsible for their contents, this wouldn't be a problem. As it stands, YouTube is in the gray area of perhaps being a platform (akin to USPS) but too often taking on the appearance of a publisher (

I looked into coding PDFs once. Then I closed my MacBook (Pro) and went for a long walk into the ocean. I think I almost got to America, but then I turned and swam back again. Turnd out I had just fallen asleep and had a nightmare. I was ac

Is this a good time to post this video of the Union Demo Copy Program tool[1] for the Atari ST? When it came to serious copy jobs I used Fast Copy[2], though. But I'd heard rumours about formatting disks on DOS. [1]: https:/&#x2F

I'm 100% confident that given an empty room, building materials, tools, and some appliances – and an infinite amount of time – I would make a masterpiece on the first try. (I attribute this skill to LEGO, of course...) ;) So guys lik

Do you want to discuss pedagogy, and why some people only need one youtube video to do this task just fine, while you could show 100 to others and they would fail every time, regardless of experience?

Somehow factual information like that is always downvoted, but criminal and terrorist activity is important information when considering where you want to travel in the world, so you should take it very seriously. Case in point, I travelled

My mother bought a house next to a bog. Needless to say, with the drainage being almost non-existant, it has started seeping in water, especially during the spring. There has been some exceptionally warm winters in the North of Norway the l

Tangent story. Two friends of mine went backpacking to Amsterdam, short pants and all. When they got out of the train in the evening, a friendly guy approached them and asked if they were looking for a hotel. They said yes, so he told them

The first thing I studied at uni was Political Science. I liked statistics more, but it did prompt me to read up on the many interpretations of what democracy is. To sum it up; it's deeply flawed, but it's also the the best we can

True enough, but I should think he's got the power to stop this train too, then. How long can a man be held prisoner without a trial in the UK, anyway? What kind of democratic system can hold a person jailed indefinately like that? Wha

It's a classic case of correlation does not imply causation. As implied in the article, people who are sick, stay indoors. So naturally, when they don't get enough sun from staying indoors, they also get lower levels of Vitamin
