I have an old Hotmail address that I signed up for while taking high school Spanish. It consists of the Spanish equivalent of my first and middle names and my HS graduation year. I haven't used it as my main email in years, but it stil

The best I can make sense of this article, there may have been, overall, enough generating capacity on the grid, but not enough transmission capacity in particular locations. The closest anything in this article is the bizarre state stateme

The meaning of "Christian" differs person-to-person and culture/tradition-to-culture/tradition, as well as over time. That Christ was born to a virgin, for example, was not necessarily agreed upon by early Christians, an

That sounds reasonable. I didn't watch the presentation, and to be honest, I'm not super familiar with the FCC device database.

If the FCC documentation is any indication (and it may not be), the developer kits may not shop until December. The reports made available today show a testing setup with what appears to be the DTK device, with internal and external photos

I no longer receive any Facebook ads. And it's not just my adblock on desktop - I get no ads in mobile either (although I don't watch much FB video). The recently seen ads section is empty. I went through a period where every time

There is indeed a problem here, and FAANG are being hamhanded and overaggressive in their response, but it's hard to find an overt bias that maps neatly onto the dominant (American?) political cleavage. Much more often (as here), these

There's also a limit imposed by the ability to return data to earth. I'm thinking of New Horizons, for example. The spacecraft took about 8000 measurements or photos in it's rendezvous with the Pluto system. It totalled about

I can't speak for the LDS church, but my brother left Christianity 5 or 6 years ago. I similarly left a few years later. Initially telling my parents was extremely uncomfortable, which stands to reason. They come from a tradition where
