I ordered something from a Chinese company and they quoted me 5USD per unit and 35USD shipping. I accepted and the units were shipped and delivered and of excellent quality. Sometime later FedEx sends me a weird bill for some random seeming

Pure FAFO. Love it. Hating Musk before it was cool has its upsides but I really can’t help thinking about how absolute power corrupts absolutely.

All I can take away from this is that it really doesn't matter where it came from. The real problem is dealing with something like this was a failure on so many levels regardless of where it came from. The OP definitely finishes with

The Nikon Monarch 7 is good. For birds you want something with a lot of light and less magnification (easier to hold steady). I also like the Vortex Viper HD for lower budgets. 8x42-50 is going to be your best bet for birding.

I think I would pay for all these services for content if I could be assured of watching the content how I want. I don't like the monthly fees, but Ill put up with it, I prefer the rental model and I'm willing to wait (like we use

Are all these questions related to Javascript? In some instances number vs object I guess I could talk about it wrt to Java or C but in terms of what Javascript’s notion of anything is unknown to me.

On all these sites, including this one, why is the engagement model to comment on things? At family gatherings, prior to COVID, I always noticed real life chit chat to be bizarrely opinionated and biased as soon as it veered from the weathe

Since 1/21 I have identified 153,423 attempts to gain access to some servers I run. All from unique ip addresses. It's one thing to identify bots, it's quite another what do about them.

Is the question just whether invertebrates have consciousness? It may be a forcing function of our desire to impose consciousness on things but it really seems like my cat and my dog both have a level of consciousness.

MacBook Air: right price, good selection of ports, thought the screen would be an issue after 15" MBP (late 2011) but it was good enough, keyboard.

Do have any data to back up that claim? I assume the "California stop" is not isolated to California.

I keep hearing this dismay at the cop not getting consequences. If we assume comparative negligence and the cop that actually pulled the trigger is say 90% responsible. Then are you arguing that that the cop should get 20 years for respondi

Java is just a C based language for all intents and purposes. The ecosystem is why Java is popular. For a very long time Sun maintained a stronghold on the way things were done and all the libraries and frameworks followed suit. What this m

At least for me personally this is a gross oversimplification. While we do like cooking, we don't like planning or shopping for ingredients. We also don't like buying a head of red cabbage and using 1/8 of it and throwing out

Can you provide the feature to order by highest to lowest percentage. I used to love showing people another site that did this in aggregate (deadpooled atm) and it was clear the US spent most of its money on old people (Medicare) and war (

The MacBook Air is still pretty reasonable. I thought moving from my 15” MBP would make it seem way too small but so far it’s been stellar and far more portable. Got a 2TB external SSD and run a lot from that (VMs).
