It’s not normal for compressors to be regularly tripping breakers, I’m curious what the explanation is?

They’ve made a big dent in a lot of dedicated point-of-sale and other kiosk type systems, it seems.

I wish there was a way to get a list of predictions from a timeframe. January-June 2020 would be a goldmine.

Lesson, I guess, is to refuse any Covid tests before you get to a Japanese hospital.

What country are you in, and what charger are you using? US 2-prong? I saw this once with a 2009 MacBook Pro when using the charger with the 2-prong adapter. A 3-prong grounded adapter would fix it.

That feels so backwards… Does it have a root in reality? In my personal finance, I’d always rather have $1500 now than an IOU for $1500 over three years.

I think you two are agreeing; GP comment is saying the claims made in vaccine pressuring communications from Fauci et al were not “legitimate” science.

I guarantee you, those people have had no shortage of every news organization, public health entity, government leader, billboard, grocery store sign, employer, and Facebook friend reminding them of that mantra. For some reason, they don’t

Looks like these were more or less voluntary surveys; my guess is the results were biased because those who chose not to get the vaccine are way more likely to just ignore all discussion around it. Anecdotally, a lot of the non-vax people a

The “cars to drive kids 300ft to the house” problem is due to the rampant safety-ism in today’s society, not really a car problem per se.

Zooming into specific anecdotes is a paralyzing trap in almost all policy discussion. This is a population-level question; you look at population level results and only look at individual cases to search for obvious terrible effects.

I just ELFOGADOM’d something. I have no idea what that means but it made the dialog go away, so I’m happy. Is this what GDPR working was supposed to look like?

I’m an American, but not involved in any kind of federal purchasing. I would have assumed that a federal purchaser would make up a reason not to buy my otherwise-perfect product if it had some unpopular statement on it, like a Confederate f

I bought an M1 Max for the extra displays support, and the 64gb RAM support. Not that I need 64g, that was more because I found a decent deal on one that happened to be 64g. But I sure don’t complain about it :)

Any time someone is “adjusting” capitalism, the result tends to look a lot like communism.

The 14” MBP screens are $40 BOM? I don’t believe that; if it were true we’d see incredible screens in more places.

Wait, hold on. I somewhat recently discovered I can “see” pulse-width modulation on dimmable LEDs by moving my eyes quickly over the LED and then examining the trail of dashes left by the light. How does this square with vision being “pause
