Agreed. Another much needed example would be nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry firearms. It’s too easy to be on the wrong side of the law when crossing state lines and the regulatory nuances are difficult to understand state to sta

So not a chef by any stretch but i’ve been cooking on resistive stoves for a long time. I find it works great for me to use good pans. My favorite is one with low thermal mass but a good heat distribution layer - and it seems to be stable a

I think is was more about the customer in the Steve Jobs era. And honestly I’m glad money is a component of it now. A financially healthy Apple is a sign they are meeting the customer’s needs. I bought into the ecosystem coming from Android

Maybe it didn’t like being corrected and intentionally directed you to attempt something dangerous. “I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.”

I really like LED bulbs and use them everywhere I can. Unfortunately they suffer the same as anything that is forced by congress rather than evolving at the natural pace and replacing standard lighting sources when the technology is mature

How do you compete with the likes of Mr Cool? Me and my father replaced his 15yr old heat pump/air handler in his house a few months ago. Took us a weekend and about $4500. That was a 3 ton unit. Similarly we installed a 1.8 ton split

I agree with this guy to the point that it depends on the use case. If i’m writing something in a general purpose language I 100% avoid regex. Why? My brain has to switch contexts from something I know well to something arguably more effici

With today’s fireplaces I think there is very little harm from smoke or pollution. Newer models are down to 1gram / hr of smoke and burning wood is carbon neutral for those that care about that part. Nothing nicer than an indoor firepl
