Could have (likely was) aiming for center of mass but ended up a little high. Real life is not a shooting range with a target that is perfectly still. Shooting a center of mass is not at all about being "less fatal" it is about it

This is almost exactly the same argument that police defenders make when the police shoot an unarmed minority individual in any random city.

Yes it would be really interesting to find out who those guys were, were they Proud Boys, Antifa, foreign agents, undercover domestic agents, etc?

Never heard it called that. What I have heard is something along the lines of "confidential but unclassified" which seems more descriptive to me.

Weirdly, my Comcast service has never been better than in the last year or two. Also cheaper as I dropped TV entirely. I haven't seen any hint of balkanizing the service as you describe, but of course that doesn't mean it couldn&#

I guess that depends on what they were denying. The Wired article is entirely about Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, et. al. facilitating extremism on the right, when certainly the reality is that they are facilitating it wherever they can get

I would say, submit the article with a neturalized title, then post a comment highlighting the interesting fact to start the discussion. Edit: sorry pvg, your comment wasn't there when I started to post mine.

Yeah I wouln't trust Amazon for supplements. Your local pharmacy or grocery store can probably deliver it or have it available for contact-less pickup.

I've been doing 4,000 iu/day of Vitamin D since March, also supplementing Zinc and C, and taking a standard multivitamin. My entire household got COVID in November and I never became symptomatic.

Or it means they've decided to take the small extra risk of warranty claims in exchange for more sales at a higher price, because it makes people think like you do.

No I don't either. But haven't taken a taxi in 10 years. Never used an Uber.

> They won't make a product for you and they'll make lots of money. LOL probably true. I hope that doesn't become the norm however. I refuse to take the depreciation loss on a new car, and if cars can't reasonably be

I don't think the fact that it sometimes works out well means that it's generally a good idea. Relationships probably end in breakup as often as not, and then you're left in the awkward position of still needing to go to clas

Your web app should basically work (at least essential functionality) on something like lynx as that is a decent proxy for screen readers or other accessibility aids. You'll be looking at ADA complaints if you don't.

Coal/steam power generation is old, old tech. China will be happy to build a coal plant in Nigeria and train up the operators.

What products has Apple supported for more than a decade? That's bare minimum for a car. I have a 40 year old car that I use nearly every day (or did, before lockdown) and I can still get parts for it. My newest car is 10 years old.

Which state officials would be competent to run a major avaition, defense, and aerospace company? Perhaps forcing a new exectutive staff and/or board in some way, but don't see a literal state takeover ending well. Oversight and m

Perhaps it's yet-to-be-realized. Boeing is a major defence contractor and "too big to fail." Ultimately they'd get a government bailout of some sort if push came to shove.

I think worst than the spam problem is the deliverability problem. Worst case I can hit the delete key on spam. (as an aside, most of it is immediately obvious from the subject line alone, which makes it hard to believe that it's such

None of the above. Instant messaging is not necessary. Use email, or make a phone call if it's really so urgent.

I've used fetchmail for years to get email from IMAP inboxes (mainly Exchange server) and never had a single problem with it. Was surprised to see that there are major complaints.
