Lots of pets die in the cargo holds. Nothing but luggage should really be down there.

Last time I did it (and it will be the last time...), it was $200 for the dog to go in a soft pet carrier under the seat and you could only check in at customer service so better be there an hour earlier than normal. I don't think our

They are probably using something like Aeroglaze Z307, it's a black thermally and electrically conductive paint used on many aerospace applications.

There's a monetary incentive as well. If you can reliably produce new cheats that aren't detectable, people will buy them. There's usually an incentive not to share private cheats because once it's public, it will still

Use a stolen CC or use a stolen identity to open a new CC and use that. And if they did track you down but the mattress was already sold off, can they prove that you even stole it? You could easily just say someone must have slipped in afte

I remember commercials like 15 years ago advertising the contactless cards but never have actually seen anyone use them in the US except for things like Apple/Android Pay. Lots of CC terminals have the symbol but it's never used.

Plastic/fake leather is easier to clean. Cloth seats will smell, will stain, and can even hold lice. I'd rather have the plastic material I can give a quick wipe down on before resting my head against it. The in-flight entertainme

It sounds like he was using it to promote concerts which seems similar enough to how the main "do it for state" guy was using it to promote parties in the same town. He likely could have gotten it from a trademark suit but was pro

Unless you do development where a Windows patch could break a complex environment, most people in the workplace are always using all Microsoft products anyway so they should just be on auto-update. All it takes is for some IT manager to sit

I would always mark up my prices for things on forums a little bit so I had room to haggle it down but I never entertained people asking what my lowest price was. If you can't afford sticker price, you can afford to haggle. It was a pr

I've only ever had one person try to haggle with me on US Ebay but he was trying to buy all of my stock so it made sense that he wanted some volume discount. I've sold stuff on forums before and that is always a haggling experienc

There is a water fountain in a neglected corner of my building at work that blows sewer gasses in your face if it hasn't been used in awhile. It's the most horrific stench to inhale right when you are about to drink some water.

Ideas would spread the exact same way. Most people follow their friends and relatives. Most of those people usually live near you. It wouldn't take much for ideas to spread on a sort of mesh network of these interconnected groups.

It seems like the hardware could be repurposed to be a multichannel DAQ or even a VHF SDR. It's a neat device considering how cheap it is.

Microsemi Libero is a joke and is probably the greatest hindrance to getting actual work done. I wish Xilinx bought them out instead of Microchip so there could actually be some improvement to the tools. You can throw every bit of computing

I see them out front of big box stores but I have a feeling it's more for pedestrian safety from inattentive drivers accidentally hitting the gas instead of the brake than preventing people from doing a robbery.

Usually people don't get fired for stuff like that. It can almost always be traced back to a process, documentation, or training issue. It sounds insulting but you need to treat humans like dumb lazy animals that require strict guidanc

Pilots have loads of checklists, many of them committed to memory. If there's a problem, there's a checklist for it and following the checklist should lead you to a solution or at least tell you what is wrong. The downside is that

Solution: keep the token on a keyring, don't leave it in your laptop all the time. The point of 2FA is to prevent someone else from logging into the same account via a stolen laptop or stolen username/password.

You can set your withholding to nothing and end up with a fat bill every year. Financially, this makes sense. You could be making interest on the money you owe in taxes. However, not everyone is really able to be that disciplined or just fi
