A quick google search indicates arson is considered a violent crime in the US even though it is a property crime. I assume because of the high potential of injury or death. I do however agree with you that there are some property or financi

Yeah that makerspace rendering is insane. A sewing machine, combo wrenches, some plant in a vase, actual monkey wrenches (for time travelers wtf), and a slugging wrench like iron workers use in heavy construction.

Was there big money donors for the 60’s civil rights movement? I don’t think it had billionaire backing but I might be mistaken.

From your Wikipedia link: > Restoration taking place in 2014-2015 has been suspended after several major works were botched and local media brought it to the attention of the public. That’s too bad, I’ve heard of that happening with pain

Sort of. I bought a HP Probook laptop in 2018 and install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which works perfectly except something minor fixed with a kernel update; however when I update to 20.04, sleep is just broken. Every time the machine sleeps it forge

Really, is that why Tarkov drops me when I try to start a match? At least CS:GO told me their anti-cheat hated my setup (Windows 10 in a Xenserver VM) and I was able to get a refund.

I think as a corollary it’s important to remember that “A private sector business isn't gonna send thugs with guns” wasn’t always true. Private police pushing people around was common enough in the late 19th and early 20th century. It

Nasdaq.com will block you temporarily for the sin of not running all the JavaScript they want. It’s pretty annoying but I guess it mostly affects users they don’t care about. I don’t visit enough to know the exact mix I’d have to allow in n

No, I’m pretty sure it’s getting worse. Anecdotally about 10 years ago when out-of-towners would ask where the closest Starbucks was, I’d proudly say there’s just the one at the convention center. Now my mid sized city is infested with them

Then why is it that influencers are raking in the dough? Is Madison Avenue just desperately seeking any product placement? Someone's definitely spending ad revenue on TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. My media consumption is similar to yo

In New Orleans unless otherwise marked, streets with a neutral ground (median) are 35mph and without are 25mph. I'm usually pretty happy with that arrangement as both a motorist and pedestrian.

I remember stumbling across a bunch of pictures of Bosch getting a brand new IBM System/370-165 mainframe circa 1970 that were pretty great. I especially liked how all the IBM installers were doing manual labor with their ties on. link

I’ve noticed a unfortunate conflation of word lynching with racism motivated homocide lately. Even from authorities (newspapers, lawyers, some state ACLU) that have to know they aren’t always the same. I think the nuance of these specific i

That's super nutty. How would the alleged uptick in racist violence against Asian-Americans provide cover for misdeeds of the Chinese Communist Party? Over the past couple weeks many mainstream news sources are reporting the possibilit

I saw a t-shirt down here in New Orleans the other day that read “music, culture, industry” with a strike out line through industry. It boggles the mind. After all how will our t-shirts and musical instruments be made?

What's frequently under lock and key isn't items thieves themselves want, but items that are easy to fence. A lot of people have no objection to buying say unopened, brand name, but obviously stolen laundry detergent for pennies o

My Grandma is from this island Roatan, the history of it is kind of interesting: The “native” islanders are largely descended from cayman islanders and long considered themselves British, although their opinion on the matter counted for lit

If I bought a vacuum I didn’t like from Amazon I’d return it thanks to their generous return policy. Targeting ads based on returns could make some sense I guess if they wanted to roll the dice on recouping losses.

I found the company helping farmers in Africa collectively build/buy silos the most surprising of these projects. As someone who spent much of my childhood in the Midwest I took for granted that silos and even co-ops would be a resourc

Get phase monitors for your condensing units. There’s nothing more annoying than loosing a compressor due to your poco’s incompetence when the compressor would be just fine if something locked it out as soon as the power got weird. I did a

As an addition to you post: my wired headphones do break, but I can solder things at maybe a .1 mm scale. With wireless headphones repairability is beyond my ability in many cases.

There has to be a clever way of doing this that isn’t super invasive. Having businesses record their customers and retain the only copy seems like a good compromise except something like personal phone numbers would be abused. Maybe best wo

That’s the most obviously problem I see with section 230 freedom of speech maximalists arguments. Who’s right is it to curtail the freedom of someone to announce their love of a some sexual performance enhancing supplement in every thread a

The issue there might be more that there is a single “publisher” in that media that gets to do all the gatekeeping. I’m sure American Scientist 1863 would have declined to publish lots of ideas, but didn’t have the market cornered.
