Never been to a public park with a bathroom, or a state provided highway rest stop? Many transit centers are owned and operated by a municipal transit agency and typically have restrooms, especially large airports and train stations.

You can fix a deficit by reducing spending or increasing income. Things like not cutting taxes when or letting tax cuts expire would help. Ending programs can help, but not when it's done in unconstitutional ways that result in court e

> How long until the 4G networks are turned off? There are a lot of cars that have a 3G sim or even a 2G sim. They can do nothing because those networks have been turned off. There's a good chance it will last longer than 3G. 5G was

Real physical units make sense when you're printing on paper. I don't see how they make sense on screens. A one square inch image is fairly large on my phone, not too big on my desktop monitor, and pretty darn small on my tv. That

It works, but kind of inconvenient for things that aren't desktops... or you need a switch with sfp to act as a media converter everywhere you have devices. And I have cat5 in my walls that was installed 25 years ago (way before it was

I don't know about power plants, but for critical water infrastructure, there's usually not even a building for someone to sit in 24/7 and at least 99% of the time there would be nothing for them to do.

At least the timing of the turns is predictable... I imagine working with countries with snap elections is harder, especially when they have trouble forming a government.

Would be nice, although the thread makes it look unlikely for now; they say the flagship processors have security features they require. I've got a 2023 stylus 5G... Never use the stylus, but it was the most reasonable phone with a hea

Probably? I imagine most of these jobs are 'exempt' and so paying for overtime isn't required. Otherwise, obscene hours are legal as long as the employer is paying overtime (including paying hours for missed rest periods) Any

Would the bondsman only lose 30%? From this discussion, they only have to post 30%, but the other 70% could become due when the terms of release are not met. That's still a better deal for the bondsman, but it's also reasonable. I

Certainly. But the rare books under discussion are closer to the end of their life and less likely to have been already digitized. The library of congress does distribute some digitized works that are out of copyright. And it does digitize

Probably, if you sell it after the copyright expires.

You don't need permission for radio-style playback of songs (in the US). There's a mechanical license available and royalties go to a rights collective. Playing specific songs on demand requires permission, IIRC.

People keep saying Xorg will stop working, but it has yet to turn into a pumpkin, so I dunno man. Can it do new things? Eh, probably not. Do I need it to do new things? Not really.

Yeah, I've lived that one. When your system is falling over all the time, you get good at quickly bringing it back. When you have the first failure in 2 years and you didn't do drills or etc, it takes a lot longer to get things go
