1) For the vast majority of Californians, the nearest state border is 3-5 hours away. 2) those abortion bans have definitely reduced the number of abortions. Not zero, but that's a silly goal for any ban. Obviously the law is stupid. B

If you’re one to omit the Oxford comma in your writing, then how do I resolve the ambiguity in your first example?

The fire station was located on the opposite side of runway 4 from the United plane. To avoid crossing the runway would mean having to travel a few extra miles around the thresholds (I assume). I guess they could have found a route that w

Beating the index by 40% after 2 decades as a company? Yeah, still good.

The parent was talking about people choosing to wear these. Today there might be reluctance to wear them because they're creepy or uncool. But that mirrors the reluctance for cool kids to wear bluetooth earpieces back when they were th

Remember those dorky Bluetooth earpieces? The ones only MBA nerds wore? They were uncool until the AirPods came along. The tail wags the dog. Wearing glasses may become inherently cool if all the cool people in your insta feeds are wearing

Yes. Copyright is intended to an encourage artistic works to be published, with the author of those works knowing that they can earn a living creating art. J. K. Rowling has earned quite the bundle from Harry Potter. She has been incentiviz

That only strengthens the parent point. Switch to an OS where this requirement doesn't come into play if you're worried about any governments having a backdoor into your own machine.

Yes. Like with Tuya devices (tasmota) or the WRT-54G two decades ago. Only takes one person to create the new firmware. Everyone else can follow whatever steps are needed to use it.

"Lemon" was never mentioned. That's extreme. I don't care what make and model of car you choose, I'll show you a list of TSBs associated with that model. There's never been a car produced that was perfectly eng

I was really surprised to find out that the F-91W was first released in 1989. I had assumed it was even older than that! I wasn't too surprised to see their blurb leave out it's other (alleged!) known use https://en.w

Exactly. Degradation can occur for many reasons. Enshittification is a deliberate kind of degradation to juice a metric. That metric is never “customer satisfaction”

I get a notification when the doors lock. I can also check the status of the lock in Home Assistant. If for some reason the deadbolt jams, or the door was not actually locked, then I risk it for those few hours. It hasn't happened yet.

I love walking up to my front door and having it automatically unlock when I’m carrying groceries. It’s also really nice to just leave the house and have it lock automatically behind me. But I didn’t fall for cloud bullshit. It’s purely loc

Diamonds sparkle a lot more brilliantly due to their high refractive index. (Moissanite is even better, so it should be preferred over diamonds unless I’m overlooking some other difference in their attributes?) But plain glass gems look com

I have no idea why, but I interpreted your original comment completely differently Yeah, the only way I can describe scent to another person is to compare it to other scents that I hope we both have a common experience with. Thanks.

While (human) vision is 3 colors, reviews of visual arts obviously can't just describe the colors of the thing. It also has shape, depth, style, etc. Food reviewers don't note the levels of salt, sour, etc. They describe flavors a

This isn't a food storage thing, but I think I see where you got that idea from the photos in the link. He's showing the types of paperboard that work with his system. Old cereal boxes, coffee filter boxes, etc.

Nope. Too easy to accidentally strip out. Each and every glyph must carry the taint. We don’t want to send innocent people to jail! (Use UCS-18 for maximum benefit.)

I dreamed of having one of these when I was in high school drafting class! They definitely were worth it over “acoustic” erasers, but cost something like $70. The few times I got to use one spoiled me.

My brother and I bought the same album back in 1994. Stone Temple Pilots—Purple. I had it on CD, he bought the tape. The CD sounded (obviously) so much better than his tape. But a little while later I made my own tape copy of the CD, and my

What would be an appropriate suppression system here? That's a lotta batteries all arranged like a boy scout arranges kindling logs for a campfire. A roof-mounted water tank with a thousand gallons ready to dump into the shed? A drum
