Another Kansas chicken place worth mentioning is the Brookville Hotel. It’s two lies for the price of one—no longer in Brookville (now in Abilene) and no longer a hotel (but they have some old rooms preserved as a museum). But it serves hal

Even the physical controls are becoming more complicated. A 2018 Traverse has about 20 buttons, with no tactile clue as to which one you’re touching. I get that it’s got more options than my last car, a 2012 Impreza, but that could be opera

Moving the goalposts could probably be a confusing bit of terminology here. OP means that the original intention was “lock down so that we don’t run out of ICU beds”, and now it is “lock down until there’s a vaccine”. The end condition is b

Sure, English isn’t a language that everyone speaks natively for personal use. But usually we think it’s a bad thing if people’s other languages die.

We need some states to just start defying the CDC and doing whatever testing they deem necessary. With media backlash and sympathetic juries, no court case will actually succeed if the feds try to charge them with anything, and this is a li

Some of the FedRamp standards require a VPN and prohibit split tunneling (i.e. Spotify goes directly out to the internet and the VPN only exposes routes to internal company hosts).

Python has enough vararg functions to make this not doable without coming up with some special-case syntax. There's a reason you don't have varargs in the Haskell world--currying isn't a special case, but rather happens any t

They all reported to work and responded to real crimes. They just didn’t enforce the stupid laws that only exist to bring the city money.

To add onto this, unreasonable doesn’t mean “unfair”. It means “backed by reason”. Like in a jury case, reasonable doubt doesn’t mean “a small level of doubt is acceptable”. It means that “aliens made me do it” is not sufficient to counter

You don’t have to overpower the military with their nukes. You just have to make your region ungovernable without the military doing something embarrassing, or that would make the region of no value. It’s the Northern Ireland strategy.
