Especially when they die after 2 years. Bought 3 G4 Pros direct from Ubiquiti and two are dead. Apparently it's just the POE daughterboard but my RMA requests were rejected due to being out of warranty. My cheap Lorex cameras have be

The xkcd chart starts at 20,000 BC, not 2,000. Well before permanent settlements, agriculture, trade, etc. that our current civilization relies upon.

clearly we need a social credit system where citizens are scored based on their financial history, trustworthiness, charitable efforts, and praising the government on social media.

I agree with you regarding lax enforcement, especially in the last few years. But this is also cultural. We have the technology to enforce traffic laws via sensors but even then they are implemented they are often removed by the next loca

While this driver appears to be facing homicide by vehicle charges in addition to fleeing the scene, it is very common in the US for a driver to kill a pedestrian and face no criminal charges or loss of driving privileges as long as they st

Would these groups still choose to share a kitchen, bathrooms, etc if they could find co-located, individual units at a similar, affordable price? I doubt it.

Sadly the active radar sensor on the pictured SMAP satellite failed shortly after launch [0]. I've been looking for news on NASA's NIAC Phase 2 R-MXAS studies which, while it looks like it would require some serious material scie

I find it curious that the 'climate change industry' is a powerful, unwavering monolith in your mind and yet you don't mention the petroleum industry's deep pockets and incentives to maintain the status quo. I got a degr

I'd enjoy the tailgate/house party before the game but I'd just stay home at kickoff. We were close enough that we had to make sure the windows were closed otherwise the cheers of the crowd would tip off the next play due to

Towards the end of my time as a student at the University of Michigan I stopped buying tickets to the games. Between the crowds, security, drunk strangers, the sun in September or the cold rain in November - it's just more fun and more

If you use a flat fee broker on my local MLS, you must respond to all requests for information or showing within 24 hours or the MLS will pull your listing. I was warned that agents are very aware of this and that you better be ready to an
