Wikipedia article linked also says "As of 2018 the concept is loose and evolving" linking to a newer article than the UN report, so why would I think this paper used the UN definition? The Wikipedia article further goes on to stat

I've been getting a bunch of sketchy post cards about extended warranties using wrong language about my warranty just expiring on a car I purchased used (9 years old, 50k miles, 3rd owner according to CarFax). I've been filing p

The orphan car problem is a serious issue with non-Teslas, too, but I will personally stick to repairable vehicles. You know what you'll never, ever have trouble finding parts for? A Mustang or an F150. Corvettes. Carollas. All of the

I'm curious if this conflicts with the Argo AI trademark. Does anyone have any insight into how the similarity would be determined? Specifically, I'm thinking that routing and self driving cars are near enough to cause some confus

This honestly makes me think of Musk -- huge actions/claims/successes/failures. The parallels, while probably all imaginary, work out quite well in my head.

My rough understanding from reading the discussions at the time is that they can pull the engine into a performance range that passes the emissions test, but that range is 1) less horsepower, fewer lb-ft of torque and 2) worse fuel economy.

There are a lot of skills in that list that I don't find essential, and a number that my personal list would add, but it's still one of my favorite quotes of all time. I might even call it the motto of my life.

I personally live in a "small" city specifically to have room for more than that, and I'm still unsatisfied with my small-ish free standing house and lot. In a year or two of saving, I'll be moving to the most rural plac

If you read down in the comment thread on the Hackaday article, they make it clear that Fords after about 2002~2003 have an attempt limit. I happen to know that my '05 did, at a bare minimum. It's still deeply not secure, but no

I can entirely agree on that experience. I got into machine tools, and in looking for pieces and accessories on craigslist, I ran into someone who's become quite a mentor to me. He rebuilds crashed CNC machines, serious ones worth hund

In that vein, fordtechmakuloco is wonderful for pretty much anything Ford, up to and including some pretty tricky stuff in the middle of the engine. I'm sure there are similar channels for other make/models, but that's a grea

This Old Tony, hands down my favorite. He covers a lot of shop topics, projects and such without going too monotone droning, but still covering an awful lot of information. He's also incredibly funny and the production values (educatio

Can you provide citations to some of the hate crime and bullying laws you mention? I want to know what I should be writing my elected officials about because free speech is so very very close to an absolute, and I like it that way. The few

How do you generally go about finding registered agents? It's never been super obvious to me that Sportsmans Guide is represented by "Clarke, Whitehall and Rosenstein, LLP" or some equally stuffy sounding law firm, much less

I was the OP... I noticed this recently, but cell towers get upgraded/replaced at intervals unrelated to "nationwide rollout of LTE!" from carriers.

Having discussed this with a couple of friends off of here, I should add some evidence of the tracking[0]. I agree with lgats sibling comment that this is likely just a function of the construction of the building and not outright illegal j

That's probably it. Perhaps I want some decorative brushed aluminum sheet metal instead of drywall...

Yeah, I think it's more what lgats suggested, and simply that they have a naturally impermeable building in the middle. Not even the cabinets, more the metal shelving up to the ceiling and such. I also notice that my current phone does

I've noticed, recently, that literally every major chain store I go into blocks my cell signal. I get full bars outside, perfect LTE, and about 5 ft past the glass doors, I'm suddenly cut off. Specifically, Meijer grocery stores a

They were looking for funding pretty hard a year or two ago, so while I would expect the Muckraker to do a great job, I'd feel obligated to donate.

Does the Free Press archive not have anything on it? If not, maybe a library search request with the city library or Wayne State would help... If not any of those, I'm curious what the historical societies or maybe some offbeat publica
