I'm skeptical of genetic theories constructed solely by a white supremacist [1]. A stopped clock is still right twice a day, but there's kind of a pattern of men who say "white people are superior and Jews are bad" also

Some Troopers have a Radar-detector detector (such as the VG-2). There are Radar Detectors that have VG-2 (Radar detector detector) detectors on them. I haven't heard of a radar detector detector detector detector. Such a thing would

Reckless driving in VA is a class 1 misdemeanor. Punishable by confinement in jail for not more than twelve months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.[1] That said, many things are a class 1 misdemeanor. Usually reckless d

Steam and protondb really helps mitigate this. My Nvidia card that could run games well on Windows ran them acceptably on Ubuntu on steam. No extra setup or work, steam did it all. I believe via vulkan drivers and proton but I'm not 10

Same for our 2021 Mazda crossover. Lcd screen but no touch screen. Just a spin/tilt/press knob for media/settings. Climate control is a dedicated physical panel. It was a big selling point fornus

Part of the issue I see overlooked is the cost of acquiring and losing physical assets. If you have an onsite data center and a meteor hits it, how bad off are you? Disclaimer, I barely passed my aws associates cert and have 0 qualificatio

Newton was an alchemist, but thats irrelevant to his claims regarding physics. If you have criticism of the article, this is a great place to put it, but an ad hominem doesn't help anyone.

I've worked at truck weight stations. On multiple occasions we've had truckers come in to get their ticket for overweight trucks, and I've had to leave the room due to the smell. We're not talking about, "Oh, I forg

The API for writing docs/content to confluence is the worst i've ever seen. You are expected to use their custom syntax which then gets converted again before rendering. The docs for the POST content literally says to write what y

IMO bitbucket is okay. Its UX for PRs is amazing, 1000x better than Githubs. Especially its side by side diff. This concludes, and fully encompasses, everything good that I have to say about Atlassian products.

God provided food to the Jews as they wandered the desert, after leaving Egypt. Manna, which was this magical bread-like substance, fell from heaven. The translation of Manna is basically "What is it?". A huge amount fell. God tol

I've trained on and off for the years. Probably only 100ish hours of mat time. I'd rolled with mainly white and blue belts, the occasional purple, and maybe 1 brown. Even with that, I understood that there are some serious level

Cant we make this argument for any level of abstraction? A lot of people start out with shells and end up being unable to understand how to construct a switch or adder in logic gates. A shell is a great tool but shouldn't be a crutch.

You may enjoy some of Pete Enns' books. Namely "The Bible Tells Me So", Which dives into biblical inaccuracy head first. It's not a "Oh well, if you apply some mental gymnast it's okay" book. It's &qu

I was told I have dyslexia at a really young age. If so, it's really minor. I'll occasionally have to pause to remember which way a b goes versus a d. Sometimes I'll mix up in reading something like a license plate number. Th

Hey friend. You're 100% right for pointing out that this stuff is addressed in the paper. I think the sarcasm is a disservice to everyone, both you and the parent comment included. Further, he may not have had (or may not have) the ti

There are 700000 cops in America. I can name maybe 200. I've personally worked with maybe 50. I investigated 1, and could find no evidence of crime, though he realistically was likely committing some. Out of 700000 cops I guarantee s

I'm not super familiar with how Android does it's versioning, so I may be off base here. The article mentions the S6 being vulnerable, but it had its last update 6 months ago. It also says versions below 7.0 are vulnerable, but th

I believe that entering a plea doesn't count as testimony, thus isnt subject to perjury laws. Most of my cases were plea deals before trial, or were cases where the defendant did not testify. Saying "not guilty" also doesn&
