McDonald's was hard to beat back when they had fried pies. They dropped that menu item though, so now we can beat them.

Sulfuric acid will remove the oxide without damaging the copper. Tested and known to work: a syrupy-thick 18 molar concentration. So that's a cyanide-free answer to the problem. Cover the ceiling and walls with copper foil, and regular

Cargo vans fail at a lot of things: hauling a couple cubic meters of manure hauling hives with live bees hauling a large trailer (we have ones that attach to a platform installed in the middle of a pick-up truck bed, like a smaller version

It would be the new house, not the old one, and it is only permitted to choose from the candidates offered by the electors. Also, does January 6th have to exist? By law, we could shorten January to just 5 days. We could compensate by length

Sure, but that 20th day of January might come really late. The constitution does not define a calendar, time zone, or second. Suppose we add 80 more months. The 13th month is Trumpuary, the 14th month is Trumpember, and so on. Another optio

Coronavirus is far too vague (there are many coronaviruses) and it gets confused with a type of beer. Those other names, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, are only slightly more readable than sha256 hashes and UUIDs. We also don't need the viru

Looks like this one: "Ehmke, Coraline Ada" She has done more than anybody else to cause destructive internal strife in Open Source software projects. Her being on the OSI board is simply appalling. OSI needs to be defunded and ign

His chance of repeating the crime is approximately zero. Murder in general has a low repeat rate, the circumstances were highly unusual (wife had secretly gotten the children foreign passports to a country that wouldn't respect child c

You missed the logic here. I'll try again, but it's the third explanation. You need to ponder this. The items A, B, C, and D are all known. (from other sources of information) They are used as an honesty test. To make the pain sto

Math is beneficial for software engineers because it limits competition. People change major because of the math.

Yes, and it is often effective even with those issues. Suppose you know facts A, B, C, and D. You want to know E. You ask about all 5 facts. You can verify 4 out of 5, but you don't reveal that. After getting the 5 answers, you trust f

LOL. Maybe. In any case, there will be no talking if the parent would need to trust you but doesn't. That doesn't help kids. You can't change the law, but you can avoid having identity information to report. Parts of the solu

Both "danger" and "abuse" are open for interpretation, and some people take "better safe than sorry" to an unhealthy extreme. Your response suggests to me that this is the case with you. Even if there is a prob

This is why only a fool would use the service for real problems. If you can find a way out of that, for example by avoiding knowledge of identity, the service could be safe to use. Maybe you could take payment in a privacy-protecting crypto

The one legitimate qualification is missing: having had lots of kids. For example: 4 sons, 4 daughters, and at least 10 grandkids. Child development industry fads come and go, sometimes drifting away from sanity and reality.

X has never supported reliable screen locking. If the screen locker program crashes or is killed because the OS ran out of memory, the X server is unprotected. It's an unpleasant feeling to come back to an unlocked screen in a shared b

There is no "flying into the picture from the blind side" with normal bicyclists. They are timid and non-athletic. They often cross roads with their feet on the ground, walking the bicycle across. If they ride across the street, i

Drivers expect people to enter intersections from both directions on the crosswalks, which is where normal non-athlete bicycle users need to be for safety. This is a solved problem if we keep all the small unarmored travelers (walking, bicy

It serves to maintain the legal fiction that a bicycle is an automobile. Strong athletes, who are the people involved in crafting bicycle legislation, prefer it that way. Pedestrians also prefer it that way. It does a huge disservice to les

Does it work the other way too, or does only the US get stuck with this expense? For example, maybe Poland could fund a disease-control effort in 49 different countries, including the USA. The USA could expect about 48 countries to do likew
