Asking, "do you mind?" is not an assumption of consent. It's the same question, do you consent? It's like asking someone if they mind smoking. It has two implications. First, you can say you do mind. Second, I obvio

It's still available, I just don't know if it's still available without prescription. It's also gotten more expensive and not as many pharmacies stock it. Really, I find our drug policies so frustrating. They should ta

It's not going to keep old cars on the road if you mandate expensive tests to do so, when new cars don't need the tests.

I hated it on my Toyota, but love it on the Honda Prologue (which is really a Chevy Blazer). On the Toyota it would drift down until I was following someone who I would normally have passed if I saw them coming. It would then race to catc

It does promote some catalytic converter theft.

The only way to have affordable, ubiquitous testing stations is to make it universal. At least, in states that do not also require safety inspections. If only 10,000 cars were tested each year, nobody would buy the equipment.

It may be possible to change the default with an OBD programmer.

That's like the jurisdictions that put rumble strips on the white line and not further into the shoulder. Very frustrating for ordinary cornering.

I use it in my professional appointments. If someone asked me not to, I'd turn it off. It makes the flow of the appointment much better than if I try to write the notes as we go, and if I don't write then and there, something wi

I think it was a mostly innocent bystander, because they decided to put codeine-combination painkillers (Vicodin, etc.) in schedule 2 but wrote it as just opiate combination medicines.

And, all of this, to avoid selling a little bit of the narcotic codeine. Which was technically permitted to be sold "behind the counter" without prescription, but was made Schedule II as part of cough syrup in the US not long ago

What's the smallest retort that can be blown? I wonder.

There are a few APIs from Windows 7 that are great improvements over Win32, such as DirectWrite and Direct2D.

Better than losing the expense vehicle prototype and the pilot as well.

Did you have an echocardiogram?

by projektfu 3mo ago
That's a weird statement. I don't think I'll ever visit a cardiologist (as a patient) unless I had a suspicion of heart disease. Is it common to get checked out by specialists for no reason in your locale?

In the Google photos app (Pixel 10) there is no animation, the rotation just happens immediately and there's no button press to buffer.

Can Johnny 5 get between the sofa and coffee table without needing to move furniture?

I think part of it comes down to trust. GE can trust that metal alloy from its supplier will not be substituted, etc. They still have to manage quality but they don't have to vertically integrate just to get the level of quality they

I assume they only did it to explain why the DVD cost more than the VHS you might already have. Even with Redbox you probably didn't have the DVD long enough to get a chance to watch the extra content.

It's like that political cartoon. "What if climate change is false and we've made the world a better place for no reason?"

I often write a comment in a thread here and, satisfied I got it out of my head, hit the back button without hitting reply. I know, you might look at my comment history and say I don't do that enough, but imagine how bad it would be i

Maybe not that long, but at least as long as 90 years. Thomas cites examples of people being denied citizenship by the executive branch, but in almost all cases they did not sue and just accepted the denial.

There are other people who can be within the territorial boundary of the US but not subject to its jurisdiction. An invading army, for example. It leaves some interpretation of this question but it does not leave unlimited interpretation

Eat less to lose the weight. Tirzepatide or something similar makes that a lot easier. Tabata (the sprint/recover running technique) was developed, I believe, to increase VO2-max. It should help with overall endurance, and you can go

Yes and no. Defining network devices in a different namespace, for example, was an early break from what might be called the UNIX tradition.

Plan9 is funny because it's what UNIX might look like if the people working on UNIX understood UNIX, i.e. everything is a file and simple primitives are composed into complex systems.
