I nudged a car exactly into the pool and got no credit for it. It had exploded already though, so perhaps that was the problem?

They recently released an update for my 2021 vintage OLED TV, and after applying it it now doesn’t work properly at all. It’s still usable, but only barely.

We don’t know that it’s direct remote control. It might be that they sent a command to it to back up or move forward and it figures out how to do that.

Yay! Decaf works too: Three instant coffee extracts (light roast, dark roast, decaffeinated dark roast) and six coffee components [caffeine (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quinic acid (3), caffeic acid (4), quercetin (5), and phenylindane (6)] w

I definitely agree with that. Everyone will have their movie that they want you to watch and you won’t wanna watch them because they usually suck. But some of them will be good and that’s the way it is now with music too so I still think it

This happened to me About eight years ago I think, and I was finally able to get someone on chat at the time who escalated it and was able to get it resolved. I think I needed to re-open the account in order to get the chat though.

This is why I have always thought that can and bottle deposit prices should keep up with inflation: to give the collectors a living wage.

We can easily reduce this to effectively time=0 which is an infinite speedup. Since the membership of any of the local cells in the global cells is static, we only have to compute this once. Then we add a globalCell parameter to each local

Right, they will audit the source code but have no IP rights to it, is my guess. Also they will probably take over responsibility for the Play and App Store accounts and be responsible for pushing the new versions (after audit).

Oracle can audit the app code and also probably sandbox the back end in such a way that they can be fairly sure things aren't escaping, at least not on a large scale.

Here's what I am guessing it is: - Bytedance retains some ownership and control of the app and the algorithms - Oracle runs the entire back end on their infrastructure - Oracle guarantees to the US government that no data is going back

Interesting. Because I find people who are Republican and “conservative” to be quite unattractive. And “conservative” is such a misnomer for what they are. They don’t want to conserve the environment or conserve civil liberties (freedom fro

Javascript is used by such a large percentage of sites that having it disabled is not a viable option for most people. The point of these by-default protections is that they are supposed to work for most people. Suggesting that someone tech

Yeah, it's not too convincing. The ingredients tend to repeat and the recipe doesn't refer to the ingredients. For example, just got this: Crispy duck Stacks [INGREDIENTS] • 1 baguette, sliced 1/3 inch thick • 1/4 cup co
