Not quite. Homer actually accepted the deal to be bought out by Bill, and then yes, Bill's goons smashed all of Homer's stuff. When Homer queries what's going on, Bill says "Well, I didn't get rich by writing a lot

While I agree that more both north-south and east-west transit lines are needed, the geography of the area makes subways prohibitively expensive. The soils in the area are expandable soils, and run deep. Any subway tunnels would have to be

It is a real usage recognized by various dictionaries (Merriam-Webster, Oxford, et. al). Doing a search will find said usage in the definition listings, and "a riot of color" seems to the typical example given by such. If I had a

Kudos for this. Does this only simulate what would be considered a typical traffic load, or can it simulate outlier events (sport games, concerts, COVID quarantine, etc)?

IIRC, Terms of Service usually have a clause with language that states that the provider of the service may change the terms of the contract at any time without prior notice. If the user doesn't like the new terms, they can quit using

Others here are addressing technical solutions, but I don't see anyone here covering non-verbal communication. IMO, that's going to be just as important. I am going to assume that your wife and you have a healthy relationship with

Additionally, I would rather they war game and plan for extremely implausible scenarios, than have them not bother because of course, those scenarios could never happen. ISTM that the things that could never possibly happen are the ones tha

I am getting a SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ when I try to connect with the latest LTS Firefox and ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when using the latest Chrome. Does anyone here have an alternate link that does work?

I've heard this assertion before, that a cast-iron or carbon-steel pan can be made just as non-stick as a teflon pan with a proper seasoning. I disagree, based on my own experience. I have some cast iron pans that I took the care to cl

Somewhat tangential, I got into an argument about Signal last night. The other guy claimed that Signal was insecure because: * It's "Custodial E2EE" * Needs a phone number (I'm not going to bother with his complaints abo

Have you had any luck in informing your local authorities of your results so to try to advise them towards better policy decisions?

Also anecdotal, but unemployment + CARES Act did in fact result in one of my housemates bringing in more from the two than they did from their employer. But, they went back to work anyway when their employer called them back from furlough,

Holy shit. I feel like this neatly explains why Windows 95 was an utter crash-fest on the computer I bought just before my freshman year of highschool. With an AMD K6-2 running at 350Mhz, it was the first computer I had that was all new com

And here I was, thinking I was a damned fool for wanting to port Illumos to run on Power 9. Well, okay, I probably am still a damned fool for wanting such, but knowing that the Solaris codebase has run on Power before gives me hope that it

I just had a thought. It would probably be counter-productive, and just serve to get one in trouble, but it amuses me nonetheless. If there were still opporutnity for people to testify in front of the house on this issue, get the browsing h

Darn. When I saw the title, for a second I thought this was someone else I could get to advertise a /22 for me instead of AT&T. But this is neat, too.

So, that 2nd sound with the grouping of sine waves that looks like it's starting to form a saw wave is actually rather close to the natural signal of an electric guitar. When installing pickups into one of my guitars several years ago,

Fair enough. It came across as snark to me on my first read. And if you're under tight restrictions on what you can or can't do in your apartment (been there, done that, don't envy you), and have already reached a high level

I'm not sure the snark is warranted. If you're truly living in 400 sq ft apartment, you're probably already used to thinking of your space utilization in a manner akin to 3-dimensional tetris. If that's the case, I'

Housemates are allergic to cats and the dog owned by one of said housemates has killed cats in the past. And even if that were not the case, I happen to like the songbirds in my area, which would mean the cat would have to stay indoors.

Another tech thing it occurred to me to add to the garden. Some computer vision and a water sprayer to keep the squirrels off my corn and sunflowers. That will actually be quite hard. I'll do the drip lines first.
