I'm no lawyer, and therefore may be invoking Cunningham's Law - if so, please correct me! According to my recollection and brief searching, sworn affidavits taken under oath and making false statements in a sworn affidavit is ther

You have to ingest something to get indigestion, resulting in sentences like "ice ingestion gave the turbines indigestion". At that point it's long-winded and would be shortened to "ice ingestion", making the point

The medium redesign is also awful. Its inability to handle my portrait-oriented monitor did trigger a sense of childish amusement (truncating POOR to POO) but it's entirely impossible to read anything using it.

Do automatics wherever you are have the semi-auto mode where you can select the gear (but no clutch needed)? I find that's definitely sufficient for downhill engine braking. Can't speak to the winter bit though, my car doesn'

From [1], which is much better and more on-point, if still short: "Opponents of the proposition argue [...] the sun wouldn’t rise until 8 a.m. during some winter months, forcing children to walk to school or buses in darkness" May

Not only is it content-free, but it's either a) wildly inaccurate or b) horribly incompetent satire, at least the bits about the hour being gone forever.

I'd argue that if the president is intended to be a position of power, then a separate election is good - otherwise, one party (presumably the largest) in the ruling coalition has power far beyond what their vote count would justify, a

One very important part of getting STV to work well is the quota - if a candidate has enough votes to guarantee that they would be elected (so, for a 3-seat district, 25%+1 of votes) then additional votes should be transferred BEFORE elimin

Well, nothing in there suggests direct manipulation of voting machines, which was the core point. I think that somewhat proves my point - it's not clear to me that 'posting comments online' or 'paying news outlets to wri

Optimal strategy for the population, perhaps, but as an individual avoiding 'all-in' is very nice, if not always possible. In the context of SoftBank, though, I'd expect all-ins and near all-ins to be avoidable...

I'm somewhat of the opinion that something that overt was unnecessary, and so while it definitely could have been, I'm not sure it was. "<Nation X> directly manipulated votes" is one thing, and very blatantly illeg

From what I've seen: Kavanaugh dissented on the lower court ruling (as it happened while he was still part of said lower court). So, he recused himself from re-hearing the case. Roberts has major holdings in Time Warner Cable, now merg

I suppose this is dependent on how much you trust the doctor(s) in question, but, in general, a specialist I trust 'filling out a form' is somewhat reassuring; there's nothing sufficiently bad that they're breaking routi

Do you need mass equal to earth, or mass slightly greater than whatever you're launching? (Alternatively, does antimatter experience the opposite force of the same mass of regular matter, or is it something else?) If antimatter has neg

The creator certainly has all those rights. On the other hand, it's definitely a goal here to have people use the software - that is, after all, a somewhat necessary precondition to making money off it. Given the difficulties with lega

Pedantically, specifically navigating to a page (e.g. by clicking the home button) is different from specifically setting it up so it automatically navigates for you. In this context that difference (config option vs manual action for each

Who needs streetview when the nearest highway is 'Extraterrestrial Highway'? Also, possibly spoiling the easter egg - apparently military bases are a) boring b) not as strict as expected (see [1], which specifically says not to ph

Unfortunately, "fun" on a mountain pass tends to approach deadly, especially in winter time. I'm in BC - the Coquihalla is foggy already, and in midwinter it can and will be incredibly treacherous. It's a gorgeous drive

On the other hand, we've got a pretty bad track history with adding gases to the atmosphere. And, as mentioned, it's pretty easy to 'turn off' (fold or destroy) a sunshade. Not so easy to remove a bunch of aerosol in the

Anecdotally, smartwatches are quite unobtrusive and pretty quickly reach 'just there' if you wear one the time. Mine is much closer to a keyring that you pull out as needed than a smartphone that comes out all the time, certainly

I think you're simply not used to it. Meals are almost always paid at the table here in Canada. Basically, the bill comes out, server either has or will come back with the machine, enters cost, hands it to you. You tip on the machine,

Admittedly this isn't a concern for all repo setups, but what about the odd time you don't actually want to autocreate a branch? Saying/typing fuck won't help you now! Basically, thefuck does give some friction and force

I think there are tradeoffs, for example, they probably store the route, which is good (refunds for really terrible routes) but bad (tracking). That's quite a bit of space, probably the big one. Rating and possibly comments, again coul

This was my impression as well, in that what I've read suggests Tesla is making claims on the basis of percentage chance of injury from NHTSA data, but NHTSA does not take a position on whether differences in those percentages is signi

For those who are unfamiliar, saying SK has a lot of agriculture is akin to saying BC has a lot of trees, or the Sahara has a lot of sand. It's true, but also an exercise in understatement - over 2/5ths of Canada's total agri

It's not ideal, but one flow I end up using at some points is tmux-as-grep. Basically, something either gets dumped to terminal, and I use tmux's search. So then, for a combo of reasons (some good, some bad) I cat files to termina

Not the above poster, but, alas, given some of the behaviour I've seen, I'd no longer be particularly inclined to be welcoming. In some sense, a broad, offensive filter is better than doing it manually. Who cares if it reduces use
