To keep the dog & cat from drinking out of it. Very unpopular with the quadrupeds & half of the bipeds. The growth that occurs on the underside of the lid makes for a good reminder that cleaning the toilet is (over-)due.

More plausibly, they are seeding the Demon Haunted World theory to distract the populous from their immediate problems. I found the timing of resurgent UFO/UAP stories & official statements at the height of the pandemic quite dubio

I don't disagree, but it seems better to respond with appreciation for their candidness.

I had myname.com for 15 years. I let it go when I had email hosting issues, the Covid hit & I scrutinized my cost:benefit of inflating registrar and hosting fees over the years.

Thanks. I tried FastMail a few years back. I had delayed mail problems. Reached out to them. Their email, informing everything looked good on their end, had a 4 hour delay in the header. Heh.

We just passed 1 month since acquisition, and yet the multitude of articles(and 1000's of posts here on HN) calling out Twitter for not paying it's debts makes it seem like they are > 30/60/90 in arrears. I understand

Following extra spicy foods with a pint or two of milk neutralizes the post pyrotechnics, for me. If lactose intolerant, sugar works, but not as well(Perhaps in large/unhealthy quantity?). YMMV. Edit: I always presumed the high after s

Ask most persons who text + drive and they will self-report their advanced multi-tasking skills. Ask anyone who shares space around them on the road and that opinion will be, approaching 100%, contradictory. Situational awareness and antici

Harry Harrison turned Russel's 'thought experiment' into a trilogy of novels. Much more entertaining & thought provoking than the SSR series, to my (then) 15 year old brain. West Of Eden https://en.wikipedia.or

Sounds good, will be watching. Squyres' book, Roving Mars, is highly recommended. A deep, technical accounting of his life-long ambition to get his equipment on Mars.

Unsure, sounds like a dark pattern or, being generous, maybe liability avoidance wordage. I have crimped >1000 non "Pass-Thru™" connectors(outdoor/shielded) with mine. edit: expanded

Klein hand tools. Full stop. Below is my favorite. Caveat, it takes some getting accustomed to if you're used to the standard plier style(They make those, too). edit:plier handle style, not wrench https://www.kleintools.com&

Agreed. There is a pop-up asking if you want to help at install(FF & TB). Big data has earned a reputation for just cause. If the Mozillas want to differentiate themselves to get that trust, aka opt-in, I encourage them. So far, "N

The only problems I experienced are when the wireless bands are deprecated. I'd still be rolling my n900, otherwise. Old drivers or not, there is/was still some development going on; Leste & PostmarketOS, IIRC.

"Typical" speeds & "typical" latency. Still allowed to bundle services, a.k.a. obfuscate prices. Although a cursory scan, I did not see it specify throttled speeds on certain unlimited data plans; search found no

In a year or two, when that notebook has been filled and replaced with newer notebooks, make some time to go back and reread. It is wild sometimes, re-reading things I forgot I know/knew. Pretty sure this helps for recall, even if not,

Back in the golden age of phpBBs, I would give posters 1 notice when veering OT or getting nasty, then transfer the (sub-)thread to our 'FlameWar' room. There, they could, and would, be as nasty as they liked to each other. I fail

>"people need to sleep" Sleep is almost impossible with regular check-ups... 30 min or 60 min, don't remember. Excepting the comatose and most medicated(maybe not?), a person's sleep cycle is unable to reach REM when

If you step back from the trainwreck and look around, the job market is not good anywhere. Some definitely will find fast employment, but > or = quality & remuneration is not a given. For the rest, 3 months may cover on-boarding time

That was my coach's rationalization for not sending me to state competition at the end of my freshman year, despite my quali's. I put a "head" onto his name when I said thanks, got in lots of trouble and went and got a j

Smaller county Texas LEOs make their own rules, in direct contradiction to state law(s). They are also wont to lifting bills out of wallets, FYI. Check out Llano's glorious history: https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=ll
