Squirrels kept trying to get my squirrel proof bird feeder and then they’d get mad and chew on the furniture when they couldn’t get the seed. And they’d poop in the rails because they’re squirrels. I smeared some Last Dab on the bird feeder

If you are seeing 301s logged on your end that is your site redirecting to another one. There isn’t a way to see what a referring site did to do the redirect (301 or 302 or even a js redirect) in your logs. All you’ll see is (potentially) t

The S54 absolutely had rod bearing issues. There was a recall on the 2001-2003.5 M3s to replace them and BMW switched to 60w oil as part of the remediation. They’re still having issues to this day. The S54 is also notorious for VANOS issues

That approach will mitigate your machine getting compromised (which is good) but it won't fix your production machines getting compromised if the gem or package gets deployed. That is usually a much worse outcome. And even in isolated

It's not really a psychological question. Boeing had no option to change the name and meet the requests of its customers. The FAA says you have to have a B-737 rating to fly any 737, regardless of revision [1]. The MAX series is the ma
