People calling it "reverse engineered" are not entirely correct. The "Low accuracy, low speed, drone" concept has not changed since the V1 was invented by the Germans. Who then went ahead and built a more modern one back

Technobase.fm was my gateway drug to EDM when all I otherwise had access to was rock and roll and country. There used to be Neradio as well, but they died like a decade ago.

But how would the App be deciding that? Listening for large crowds? Listening for it's own output from high output speakers? Spotify will keep the entry in a playlist even after they lose the rights to a song, or worse, keep the rights

I have absolutely noticed all the complaints and stupid problems with the App on desktop. It constantly breaks in stupid ways. Every few releases, the "Discover Weekly" generated playlist loses the ability to hide/disable son

But why do people think this? Do you think his supporters will be convinced if CNN shows unredacted files? Do you think they are just "unconvinced"? That they just need more evidence? Trump said it himself. He could shoot someone

It's Friday, so probably a lot of the more well adjusted human beings are a little busy living life. But yeah, good god people are being absurd. However, there was similar absurdity a couple years ago, when an article about Costco havi

Because low quality food or bad tasting food is not a health hazard (well, not a health hazard under the USDA's purview. The population being too fat is HHS's job) Tyson and Purdue have the occasional problem that causes a recall,

No this makes no sense. Like, I can see where you were thinking, but it's just wrong with the USDA because of how different problems at different points are handled. When an inspector in a plant notices a problem, like an employee not

No, you cannot, in a democracy, write the rules in such a way to magically and automatically guarantee that bad things cannot happen, because the core conceit of democracy is that the will of the people can happen If your people want bad

The only medication for Premature Ejaculation that exists currently is a megadose of a special SSRI which has a short half life. If you are a man, SSRIs are very likely to make you last longer in bed, and that is often a very bad thing. If

It's possible that some of this is down to the "Prison" vs "Jail" distinction? But I can't source what I said. What I can source is that prisoners largely report going hungry. That's a completely different
