Because smart guns aren't even close to 100% reliable yet. A "false negative" locking you out of operating your weapon at a key moment will likely mean your death, so there's a VERY high bar for adopting new mechanisms

Thanks Chuck! My thought is to have one end of the Airstream be the bedroom, and convert the other end into a workspace with a U shaped desk, big displays, Aeron chair, etc... And then leave the middle for the kitchen and dinette. It&#x27

The 2.9 git install from homebrew prompted me for keychain access and then just "worked", this morning. My first time using brew git. So you may want to give it a whirl.

I almost never cry. Some of my friends joke that I cry once a decade, but honestly that is pretty close to the truth. I'm not ashamed to cry, and I don't try to not cry, or anything like that, I just almost never want to cry...

With a bank you go into a branch, and show them your driver's license/other official ID, and don't lose access to all your money... It's harder online when you don't have the same ability to interact face to face.

If you're doing anything on the web, Performance should be an easy sell to the business/management. There's a ton of solid data showing faster websites = more conversions which = more revenue. Then factor in hardware and li

I'm looking for something like that that's the best fit for singleton mailings. I want to send one letter at a time. The pricing here isn't unreasonable for that ($1.09), but it seems geared for bulk mailings? Any suggest

The point is that for your inner ear, there is no acceleration when running, or not, on a treadmill. Your body isn't moving relatives to where it started, so your inner ear doesn't detect the same equilibrium changes that would a
