I have one, and a sub slab Radon abatement system. My levels were pretty high for a basement and that was how I learned about Radon. You're 100% correct about that there is no safe level of Radon exposure. The international community d

Radon mainly effects the lungs and requires continued exposure. I still personally would not expect a radon rich spring to be healthy, even with short term exposure. The effects of radon exposure over time on the lungs are well studied. Ane

This is what struck me as well. This is in the vein of, "Who watches the watchmen?" I can understand a world, albeit it sounds chaotic, where nothing is monitored. I'm worried about a world where the only unmonitored people a

That's amazing. Thanks for digging that up. Entirely emblematic of early aughts and 90s tech.

Nah, I think you're right. Another poster found an issue with Netgear routers doing stateful packet inspection that ALSO failed. So, it sounds like mIRC had a bug, routers tried to apply some protection and also failed.

Opinions of Mozilla aside; the reason maintainers do this is because people google bugs or "why can't I do this in x" and they land on GitHub issues. They then pepper those issues with either low-tier comments like "zomg

Are your mortgages cheaper than ours on average? I couldn't imagine doing a variable rate loan in the US. You can literally be had in a single year with a variable rate.

Generally you get a "dedicated host" from AWS, not a "dedicated server" so that was kind of my first tip off. There's a very big difference; the only usecase I'd really consider for dedicated hosts is security

I dislike that a website with privacy in the name collides privacy and anonymity. Privacy does not protect you from the state. Privacy is good enough to protect you from the public . If you are doing battle with or an enemy of the state, m

I suspect they're not getting a dedicated server from Amazon. Anyone doing that is either foolish or is so locked into AWS infrastructure that it cost-wise makes more sense than to expand a network to another provider. Fun times, ind

Yeap! We're subject to a similar maximum in Portland. It was one of the aspects of government I specifically shopped for before we relocated. I did wish I'd looked more into the ever-expanding income tax we have at the city, count

Yeap, that's all fair. I was mainly poking at your word choice of "phenomenon" because it can be reasoned. I'm not quite sure about your last sentence but that's an entirely different discussion with much more noise

I, personally, would not chalk that up to a phenomenon. Operating System selection largely depends on the work you do paired with the industry you're in. Some extrapolations: I work in systems engineering for web technology companies.
