There's also 20 amp circuits which are common. Many houses run circuits that are rated for 20 amps even if they don't have the right outlet for it so this is an inexpensive upgrade for most.

I think OP might be saying apartment owners don’t pay the bills (because the apartment tenants do). Then the argument makes sense.

I mean I quite often see people holding a torch (or maybe a lit up phone) while they're walking. I'm in an urban area, but it's not as well-lit as a downtown environment. There's street lights every 2-3 houses and they&#

Where I live, even with streetlights, most people I see walking after dark carry a torch. It’s easier than ever to carry one.

I remember having this book or similar (at least I remember the robot and the person from the cover) and recall that some things just aren’t portable across all BASIC implementations. I think ZX Spectrum was what I saw most often, and there

Good to know, though they don't have replacements for the remaining switch I have.

I had a house full of a variety of switches I just moved out of - some Lutron, inovelli, and Leviton. For zwave, the best actual physical control was with Leviton - they have a rocker switch for dimming and are therefore easier to use than

I only recently (3 months ago) set up my new house with Lutron devices because their diva dimmers are truly the best of anything out there I’ve used - their slide dimmer control is easy to use and their lack of flicker and buzzing with leds

I won’t argue that they shouldn’t have done better, I’m only pointing out that this is fairly different from their usual product. Amazon, YouTube, and Hulu all have a ton of experience with live streaming by now. Apple has live streamed wwd

Was live streaming much of a use case for them before this? They stream plenty of pre recorded video, often collocated. Live streaming seems like something they aren’t yet good at.

Motorcycles (the kind that go highway speeds) have a range problem since they have poor aerodynamics, little room for batteries and charge slowly. For around a city or a commute to work they’re great, but very impractical for going on a rid

Not too different in many cities in the United States. There really should be a width limit on street parking in urban environments.

I’m not the writer of the paper, but I do remember STARTTLS being called out as an issue when I was previously working on setting up an ldap directory.

Except when performance is directly measured (like a running race) this doesn’t really apply. You can get a job over someone with higher skills for a raft of reasons. Connections, personality match with the interviewers, experience, you dre

There is a lot of pride to be had from seeing something you worked on, with your own hands, successfully work - look at mission control videos for examples of how excited people get. Conversely, if it fails, there’s a lot of disappointment.

First thing I do when I move is install a bidet (bought the house I’m in now, so just replaced the toilets with fully integrated ones). Not buying much tp any more of course, but it still serves a purpose.

Ah I see. A stack of towels is very different from “a towel”. I cant bring myself to get rid of tp especially for if guests come by, but imagine towels do a better job of drying than paper.

Perhaps if you use soap you’d be clean enough for that, assuming you were the only one using the towel.

Thanks for the reply. I'd love to try out the different modes at some point.

How do you deal with failures of the control scheme? You mentioned elsewhere that redundancy means this is unlikely, but is there ever a reversion to "direct law"? Does the plane still have manual trim/rudder/throttle to

Because other illnesses are more common, protecting yourself from respiratory illness in general would have an even bigger benefit than only avoiding COVID.

Compliance was the reasoning they raised, yes. Whether you require this particular tool to meet compliance, and whether that tool needs to be deployed across the entire stack might be open to interpretation though.

This awakened a memory from last year where a colleague and I were trying to understand where an increase in Linux memory was coming from in machines that hadn’t been rebooted in a while. This was alerted to by Prometheus metrics. Even afte

I flew Ryanair only twice this year, but both times you had to pay extra to use the overhead bins anyway. They were fairly empty thanks to this.

Were the nuclear plants shut down in a way which prevents them from being restarted? Restarting them could be faster and more cost effective than burning coal while waiting for new solar and wind installations.

Germany has actively shut down nuclear plants and as a result burns more fossil fuel, no? As a percentage of total generation nuclear in Germany was never as high as France, but couldn’t they skip the 20 billion euro cost of a new plant and

Ahould your original post read “chronometer” instead of chronograph? I also understand chronograph to mean a stopwatch complication, which is different from a chronometer certification.

I imagine these terms could have changed over time, but consider that a warm boot might have meant power off and on with these old computers. One difference is that the valves have more chance of burning out on a cold boot due to the temper
