What pipes did you have made from “normal glass”? If they were blown pipes that contacted heat, they were almost surely borosilicate (Pyrex/Simax/Duran/Kimax) as well. The only smoking items typically made from soda lime are

My experience with the gas filling in the region was: - pull up to station in Oregon unaware, exit the vehicle and approach the pump. An attendant runs up to me yelling "You can't do that!! That's DANGEROUS!!" - pull up

I feel about the same. I grew up with a 2600, and liked the games when I was 4-7. In more recent times, while I’ve gone through periods where I replayed C64, Sega Master System, Genesis and Amiga games, nothing for the 2600 held my interest

I think the concept is an embargo on trade with the US like sanctions, not a physical blockade. If countries were refusing to do business with the US, the military couldn’t really help short of invading them or engaging in shipping piracy.

Different rules apply to private vs. public property. I personally believe that is appropriate.

Indeed... As noted, the regulation is quite vague.

I understand the point of the exercise is to shed light on the vagaries of internet moderation. It’s not a very precise analogy. HN is essentially private property, and nobody needs to wonder things like “is flying a satellite over HN the s

Legal decisions are made based on historical interpretation, assumed intent of lawmakers and legal precedent. If needed legal interpretation can go back the English Common Law or the Magna Carta. A law or rule like this could be challenged

by code_duck 3y ago
One thing that makes this exercise fairly useless is that any real world law or rule would have exemptions for such circumstances, and a definition of “in the park” and what a vehicle is… not just one sentence with no clarification. Beyond

That's the issue - might as well not add that functionality. I had a 2014 Ford with a small but adequate screen for the backup cam, and the radio/bluetooth were based on physical buttons and knobs. Perfectly adequate, and preferab

Mine currently says Firefox in it. You can override it without a plugin in the about:config setting general.useragent.override. I would expect that any reasonably sophisticated fingerprinting system would not rely primarily on the useragent

The pressure vessel is the only part that was designed or fabricated with sound theory by experts.

Simply using Firefox is a problem in that regard. I think most recent number I saw for Firefox usage was 1%.

That does happen when property taxes are delinquent - typically the county seizes the property and sells it to pay back taxes.

It’s pretty simple to do yourself. Last time I did this, I injected jQuery and wrote a few lines to delete a comment, wait a few seconds, delete another… then you reload the page and do it again. I would imagine that most HN members could d

I remember ICQ and Aim. It's not even clear to me why they died and were replaced, but that sure did happen.

I didn't say all communities wanted to. I said it was interesting. Mainly my point is that it wouldn't be death for reddit if some of the largest subs went away entirely, along with the 'power mods' who control dozens of

Yeah, while I understand and appreciate this effort, Reddit is actually seems better without some of the giant default subs. It's more like it was 10 years ago. The site has hardly been a ghost town over the past couple of days. Smalle

Yes, that is correct. They sold the consumer products division in 1998, but still have brands of laboratory products and raw borosilicate glass.

The article says that Harrison said the sound quality was rubbish, not anything about song itself.

That makes me think it’s somewhat like putting up my own website with a restaurant’s menu, taking orders, picking it up and delivering to the customer.

It's illegal when a company has a monopoly, but otherwise that's the nature of business. The line of thought that 'apple has a monopoly in iPhone software distribution' never seemed very compelling to me since they don&#

For that to be meaningful, one would have to consider what proportion of miles driven are in teslas, and where.

What would be the rationale for giving smaller portions to in-house orders?

I've seen various forums move to Discord. It doesn't make much sense to me as Discord is essentially IRC and is not the same format as a forum at all.

I would just like to recognize Wolf Marshall. We thought he was some sort of joke in middle school, but in retrospect, the guy taught us so much about guitar by being the transcriber for so many metal albums. I would think he must have a ve

I believe “grocery shopping at JiffyLube” is a reference to consuming oils in one’s diet.

I assumed GP meant WP was PHP written a long time ago, not that the language is ancient or obsolete. Whether that’s accurate (has the WP code base been revised much?), I have no idea.

Based on news out of Albuquerque, organized crime groups that were previously operating in So Cal (San Bernardo and Riverside previously had the highest rates) figured out they could get their mission accomplished more easily in New Mexico
