The added scrutiny at some border crossings can be problematic too. Explaining to the inspectors at the Turkey/Bulgaria border why I had two phones and two laptops (and dissuading them of the suspicion that I was smuggling electronics

I had assumed the practice started to die off when installing games became dominant over streaming from the disc even on consoles. Seems I was wrong!

If anything the Tarkov ban treadmill is a way to drive sales. Even if some of them get disputed as fraudulent due to stolen card numbers, BSG may still come out ahead.

Maybe so, but I would contend it is worth considering the broader implications of those investments and the effects that new and upgraded infrastructure could have on the greater economy. Speaking only for myself, I would be okay with a low

Oh man I would love to see pictures of this.

Good, such records shouldn't be exempt. So what if they were gathered by a third party, it was a service carried out under request of the local government/law enforcement, and paid for by public money.

How absurd, that official, first party addons would flatly void the warranty. Shouldn't be legal.

Seriously. I have a featureful PDF viewer I am intimately familiar with. I want it to be the default for all PDFs, ever. This gimped viewer in the browser is not what I want.

Good point but perhaps coatings or impregnated fire retardant compounds can be utilized?

Bullshit! The alternative is mentioned in the article, trust the official documents presented by the 'suspect', as that's the purpose of the documents. As in OP's quote: “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biome

Its funny for me, born and raised in the endless river valleys of the PNW, that I am so used to this topology that I'm much more comfortable in cities with an "opposite valley wall" (even if it's a building facade on the

I can confirm that anecdotally, taking those big 10mg pills did help me get to sleep, but also gave me some of the most fucked up dreams I've ever had the mispleasure of experiencing.

I have the privilege of being licensed and insured for such and have a working relationship with the county fire marshall who issues the permits, so I used a rock bar to open a little hole to the right depth and then sprung the hole with a

Yeah this is really the best way to do it, I've even played friendly family games with candy or baked goods as the chips. Great fun! Problematic when you're munching on your bank though.

It entirely depends on the vibes, the company, and the game, in my opinion. At one job, we used it as a social time, 6 to 15 people from work (had to run two tables for those big nights) got together Saturday night, bbq'd some food, ma

The inertia of established supply chains and industry norms can be a real mother to overcome. Hobbyist computing could benefit from a move to 48V as well, if only to keep the problematic 12VHPWR from killing expensive video cards. I say hob

For the powertrain, sure obviously and absolutely. But e.g. why have different electric window motors, wiper motors, turn signal solenoids etc etc?

I can't wait to try this. Long have I feuded with the Task Scheduler and its slippery ability to reenable the update services when I look away. Thanks!

The article seems to recommend wrapping several coils of nichrome around the wire supplying electricity, and just globbing a load of tin solder on. Not ideal, I'd say.

Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson dealt with a generation ship and the implications of the mission on subsequent generations born on the ship who had no say in signing up for it. Great book!

You're not wrong, and I share the sentiment. "Modern" panels are near worthless, I have to dig down to something crusty to actually expose useful settings I can tweak.
