My hunch is that talking about your problem can be easier than dealing with it. And people, even capable working homeowners develop a serious expertise in analysing what they should but don't do. I often notice myself doing it.

Isn't that incredible. It's almost "We can't go with you to that place and investigate a crime because a crime might happen!" I'm not from the US and I've only ever had positive interactions with police, b

Doesn't answer your question, but if you're not aware, try watching some of Mark Rober's videos on YouTube with him. There was one recently about trying to safely drop an egg from space. He'd probably enjoy a lot of the

IKEA sells a container set with grater lids and then a sealing lid. We get our kids to grate the cheese (and they fight over the opportunity) and excess cheese is stored in the fridge for the next meal. Or as you probably do, just grate str

Don't you just give it a word length, or number of sentences, or "rewrite, but half that length"? Those sorts of things have worked well for me. "Make it sound more exciting" or "tone down the excitement level&

Most people still don't even know of Bing. I've recently shown ChatGPT to people in tech-related or -adjacent industries and it's been their first exposure to it.

I wonder if they'll be able to have outer displays as well as inner displays. Cameras internally to relay the wearer's face/expressions. So it can look somewhat like a transparent face shield, or it can be opaque from the out

How skeptical though? This is a company with an extreme attention to detail, who've demonstrated expertise in compact, high quality, powerful devices. And they're bringing a product to market some time after Meta already has the (

It's not even just the phone thing. I'm not from the US but have driven 10,000+ miles there in the last few years on various roadtrips. So many American drivers drive with a death wish, like they're invulnerable and are not f

Has Culdesac made much progress? The site looks fairly similar to last time I looked at it, a while back. Are they building it all out or waiting on sales to finance progress?

Why not ditch the buses and just start everyone around the same time? In Australia, all levels are starting around 8:45am (3-18yo). There's a bit of flexibility in that a school yard is monitored a bit earlier, or the first session is

What's the rationale for some schools having a bus service and others not? In Australia, I'm not aware of any metropolitan state school having a bus service, so it sounds bizarre that buses would dictate starting times. Some priva

Pretty sure I've seen comments on here questioning the existence of at least one of the reported balloons.

That's the grey area I'm talking about though. If China sends a missile into the US, it's shot down, but there is collateral damage, Americans will overwhelmingly consider China responsible. If a Chinese airline flies a regul

I'm imagining something far less obviously threatening (balloon rather than a destroyer) and far less explicitly damaging (maybe a liquid or gas that would mix with the missile impact, and rain down barely noticeable granular substance

The hypothetical was about a balloon filled with a "potentially" dangerous substance. e.g., something that had a plausible reason to be there and was likely to be fine if not shot down with a missile.

No, not floating a warhead. See my other comments replying in this thread. 'The bigger question to think about is the fear itself that led you to this question, the fear, the vulnerability and the anxiety you are feeling. Perhaps if a

Thanks for thinking it through a bit more in the spirit of the question. That's a bit more what I was getting at. There are potentially instances where it starts to become a grey area (responsibility with both parties), and the separat

Can you think of anything that the agitator could launch with plausible deniability, such that shooting it down with a missile and maybe creating further trouble, wouldn't divide the opinions of the host nation? e.g., if the dangerous

OK, plane flying overhead. You shoot it down. Who's going to be held responsible? The airline or the people taking it out of the sky? Where's the line drawn if the dangerous thing I mentioned before has a practical use? Maybe the

If an agitator puts up a balloon and payload, one of which contains a potentially dangerous substance, and a nation in question shoots it down, thus releasing and activating that substance, who is responsible? And who does the public deem r

Is there a chance that this is a low-effort and low-risk way for China/whoever to further stir up drama in the US? "Where's the proof?" "They're making this up. I haven't seen a photo of the balloon...&quo

Clearly. But the person asking is a programmer and is asking for ideas that they can pass onto their partner. I’d say they figure it’s no risk seeing if they can unearth something new, or to be in a better position to support the endeavour.
