Sometimes they come apart in ways you wouldn’t expect. I’ve seen them delivered and reassembled on site.

This is really what has been on my mind. Simone tagged Elon showing him a screenshot of some veteran website allowing you to select more than two genders. Elon replies with a “On it. @DOGE” I thought doge was about efficiency, why is he spe

Had a similar situation back in 2018/2019. Electric company offered a flat rate for electric vehicle charging but you needed to install a second meter. Took them forever to install the actual meter (it had been jumped by the electricia

> Just being a pedant, but technically, Taiwan is not China. I think this is wrong? Both PRC and ROC claim ownership of all of China, including Taiwan. The PRC calling Taiwan a rouge territory and the ROC claiming to be a government in e

Yet the Edge I drive turns off if you idle for more than 5 seconds. How is your first sentence relevant? Sometimes people are in a rush or have somewhere to be. It’s okay to not walk everywhere. You might cal it lazy, I might cal it efficie

Not complaining. Just other people might have other needs that or they might be in a rush or maybe they would rather be warm at home enjoying their hobbies opposed to trudging 200 meters through through feet of snow. For why? To not wait fo

I don’t agree with your edit. In my area it’s freezing cold most of the year. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to wait a minute or two for a spot instead of literally walking an extra two football fields in harsh weather. Increased fall ris

I listen to Cohen on his podcast and on YT. He was once Trump's right hand man, they were buddies for 15+ years. Even he says Trump will cast Elon aside when he is no longer useful. I know a lot of people don't like Cohen. I have

Slightly related story but, I too, found out my documents were out of wack when I applied for financial aid in college. I originally had two middle names at birth but then it was switched to only (the first) one a year or two later. My birt

I’m not too sure if that quote you used is even an accurate depiction of what happened. The following paragraph: “the chief at SIGAR, learned that the agricultural development programs — namely those used to rehabilitate canals that have re

Trump/Elon is asking for embedded doge teams in every agency / department composed of various doge specialists and agency personnel. From what I’ve heard.

I remember reading a short story once, I forget its name. The narrator wakes up in what they believe to be a coma but later learns to be an AI. It had to be given memories and (maybe?) a body in order for it to not go crazy upon activation.

It was easier to just take a competitors engine, let me chase the new web standards, and slap a new UI on it. Edge and Opera both use Blink, so also trace back to KDE.

Didn’t realize that was the backstory of Flutter, I thought this was headed in a different direction. I heard the YouTube team did something similar for their embedded / resource-constrained environments where the client just renders b

Michigan just switched to cafe-free only at the start of a year due to a new law going into effect. Prices were increased around the holidays as retailers preemptively switched their stock. Might not be well defined but I’m sure it’s define

I thought the wife was oddly emotional during that scene with Dylan G. While I agree it would be odd to see your SO's innie, the way she was in awe and full of emotion just seemed very intense. Like seeing a long lost lover or those fi

I figure its mostly a graph problem. I do like door randomizers, esp ones that don't have bi-directionality.

Thanks for that bit of history. I seem to remember form previous conversations with people that this was not the standard for all of America. Probably something related to east cost vs west coast.

I don't think the Twitter choice of 140 was anything to do with this though and is just a coincidence. Back during dumbphones the only way to receive tweets while mobile was via the texting interface, and it would want to prepend the u
