Dogs are banned in most or all national parks where large wildlife is present. In Glacier National Park, for example, they’re banned because they can easily turn a grizzly sighting into a grizzly attack.

It does. The more anti-fingerprinting measures you enact, the harder it is to pass to the point that it becomes nearly impossible to do.

Berkey filters have some degree of water purification from dirty sources, but something like the Katadyn [0] filters seem to be more suited for higher use. [0]: https://www.katadyn.com/us/us/products/water-fil

Having an RV set up for remote work where we can leave home for days, weeks, or months has actually prepared me for outages better than most. The entirety of the RV can run on propane and battery, and I have both solar and generators to rec

Legally, the lower receiver of a firearm is the piece that’s subject to background checks and other firearm-related laws. Presumably that’s all that would be technically needed.

Canon's professional line has been lacking for years in the high ISO sensor performance. Their saving grace has been their lenses, which are still magnitudes better than the competition. That said, third party lensmakers like Sigma and

I think this is absolutely correct. The cheesesteak I had at one of the allegedly original places was the worst I’ve ever had anywhere. A fast food cheesesteak is better. Similarly, Seaside is a major beach/ocean tourist destination in

I feel their Apple TV app is the worst it's ever been. I hate the autoplay trailers, and the use and feel of the app is incredibly sluggish.

All flash media cards should be treated as unreliable (source: 10 years photographing professionally). An errant static discharge, a damaged pin, or a cracked piece of thin plastic are all that stand between an easy offload of photos and po

Depends on the temperature differential between the outside air and the climate controlled environment. Here, in eastern Washington, winter costs me a lot more. Using the shoulder season as a baseline, summer adds x and winter adds 3x.

The only difference when they do choose the products you recommend (in my case it is Apple), they come to you first before even trying the manufacturer's support.

In our experience, country of origin is a better heuristic for possible abuse than an individual ISP is. Most malicious traffic comes from a fairly small number of countries, many of which are the obvious culprits. That kind of data is neve

I'm torn on this. reCAPTCHA v2 (mostly useless[0]) and v3 function largely on browser fingerprinting plus a few other heuristics (e.g., whether or not you have a Google cookie). Any meaningful privacy measures to resist fingerprinting

The iOS implementation of DND is lacking. It kills notifications for text messages from everyone, for example.

Because it's web-based, I had huge difficulty getting ownCloud to sync web files like .htaccess. I ultimately abandoned the effort, and I don't know if that has improved any.

There’s an aviary that does exactly this in Salt Lake City with bald eagles, vultures, flamingos, owls, and others. It’s worth a visit if in the area. https://tracyaviary.org/

You should not be required to assist them. If they can get in on their own with a warrant, that's fair game.

It's also hobbled somewhat by the distinct lack of case law or other precedent. Much of it is subject to interpretation rather than explicit, and no one ones to be the poster child for the interpreting.

It does not support it on its own. You could build that functionality into an app as far as features go, but how easy they are to isolate will probably vary wildly, and it may be more work than it's worth.

I agree. I completely avoid any locally installed software that's subscription only (e.g., Adobe Photoshop CC) because in most cases, I don't need the continual updates. I'm perfectly fine using a single purchase for years an

There’s a practical side to non-ethanol gas too: it’s much better on small engines like lawnmowers and generators. It’s in nearly every gas station here that’s remotely close to ATV trails.

States with state income taxes already tax their citizens' income regardless of where it's earned (AFAIK -- the states I've dealt with do, but I'm not familiar with the east coast). Wouldn't that cover it? If reside

Two examples are the Airport line of products and the iPods. While the iPod Touch is still made, nothing else is. That said, they still have received recent software updates, and I personally find Apple products more palatable than anything

Basically what the sibling reply said. Getting a digital copy is way, way easier than trying to get an archive copy from a disc you have, unfortunately.

I’ve gone a similar route, partly because I want to own the content and partly because of availability. There are 20/30/40-year-old shows and movies that I enjoy, and few of them are on any streaming service. Those that are often
