I once made an enemy on AOL and he was a spammer--he put my email in the from: field and I got a lot of hostile emails. But the joke's on him--it led directly to me meeting a lifelong friend & mentor.

My understanding was that the US green-lighted a 300-billion investment from neighboring countries to rebuild.

It might be good at analysis & review, writing documentation, git commits, etc--even if it's not good at coding. All the drudgery.

Just tell them the truth, friend. You want to protect them, this is your family's way.

My dad bought me a kit of beanbags that looked like globes when I was 9 or 10. My incentive to do it right was "I want to juggle." I'm glad I didn't have to chase them around, what a waste of time.

Do we have anything that self-replicates physically? Software, sure. I know 3D printer folks will sometimes 3D print parts for new machines. But nothing that fully replicates itself, right? Especially autonomously. Maybe we'll see what

I wound up getting it working out-of-the-box with Mandrake Linux. I bought a copy at the local Office Max. I believe I tried redhat, but had issues with that as well. I never went back to it--moved to debian and never looked back.

My first video card. Getting it working in linux in ~1999 was really not easy, especially for a teenager with no linux experience. My networking card wasn't working either, so I had to run to a friend's house for dial-up internet

Perhaps those nations don't have laws against poll taxes; the US does.

That's not the same as "disenfranchised" or "taking voters off the rolls," as it gets talked about (see both of the sibling comments to yours). If they can't put up some minimal effort, what was their vote wort

Look up the 25 states that already have voter ID laws, and corresponding free-id programs to avoid being considered a poll tax.

I couldn't, as a staffer--but yes, the organization could, and they did a couple of times that I know of. One person had a $180 fine (half of that was mine) and they were asked not to come back when they refused to pay it. Smaller amou

In some cases they weren't allowed back, but it was rare. Most people paid up when the director got involved.

Okay, well it should be about a 10 second green light, but it's more like 2 minutes. This is a side street that in high traffic times might see 4 or 5 cars waiting.

I have noticed a severe uptick in bad semi-truck drivers on the interstate since COVID, I'll agree at least with that part. The local cops here have always just run plates for stolen vehicles. Getting a ticket is almost unheard of. I d

Well, they're putting up the flock cameras, too. We have four in a local small town. But I'm guessing you are only correct sometimes. I bet some of them can be live-viewed, or track license plates.

I haven't run into those (I mostly drive in rural areas--in fact, there's no stoplight in my county) -- but I do run into some lights that just change in the middle of the night, for no reason, and then take a really long time to

It's a bit like the EU, in that way. I don't believe the founders intended as much federal oversight as we currently have. It was supposed to be self-governing states with a few exceptions. So much of the constitution is to limit

I worked in childcare about 20 years ago, and we charged $1 per minute late. We had to keep two staff there, and they would split the fine. Many times we got stiffed. Edit: for reference, our fee was about $14/day to keep the kid, so i

Hopefully other states don't follow this pattern; I don't think the government should be installing surveillance arrays, even if it's "for the children" or public safety. Trading a little liberty for a little safety

Well, it's red-light running. But I don't think even rich people will just breeze through every red and pay the fines; it'll add up quickly.

Same. I'm still going to get one someday. I want to support gaming on linux, and the steam machine was what made it great.

Particularly when we were already doing this in the late 90s with the original Xbox. I ran debian on mine. I would have thought we'd have soft-mods to allow this within a couple weeks of any new console launch, and perhaps the hardware
