The notion that we lose most of the heat from our heads comes from a study where people wore warm clothes and no hats...

While the lock-in issue is annoying and a good reason not to adopt these, the device failure issue is a tech killer. Especially when I can use a password manager. This means I can remember two passwords (email and password manager), make them secure, and then always recover all my accounts.

Passkeys are a technology that were surpassed 10 years before their introduction and I believe the only reason they are being pushed is because security people think they are cool and tech companies would be delighted to lock you into their system.

I'm guessing it's an aluminum oxide abrasive? The abrasive is flourescing due to the little bit of uv coming out of the LEDs.

You might find this interesting, if you are grinding iron or steel then the grinding surface may not flouresce due to the iron bonding with the aluminum oxide.

Doesn't yelp let businesses erase poor reviews for a fee? Is the only difference here that yelp isn't getting paid?

When a fraud department calls you, you don't need to provide any more information than your name and yes/no answers. If they are asking for any additional information, tell them that you don't trust their authenticity and that you'll call the number on the credit card. A legitimate agent will politely end the conversation there.

Then you better call that number on the card quickly.

My theory is that his PR people are "leaking" these stories that he can rebuild his image as a recovering addict. This will let them craft a sympathetic story and they will hope that we'll forget that he's a racist asshole.

They do great work, but they don't market and promote their successes well enough. I would prefer a society that favors humility more and therefore appreciate this administration's style, but it seems that a lack of hubris is now considered a fault in the public eye, on both sides of the aisle.

A real simple fix would be ranked choice voting.

Sikhs aren't Christians so they don't get the same rights as Christians do according to the Supreme Court.

In 20 years, we could be up to 48 presidents or more, so you're right, trump's rating could get even lower. Hopefully no one beats him.

It's FFRF lawyers though. They are already working at well below the high salaries that people typically associate with lawyers. They have these jobs because they believe in these causes and are trying to help the public.

Besides, the plantiff wasn't seeking to cash in on the situation, they just wanted equal rights/benefits to be provided for all religious groups, which it sounds like they got.

Causing delays. It will be quick to count the ballots in rural, likely repubs, areas. It will take much longer in urban areas that are likely voting democratic. Eventually they will get a judge to rule that counting has to stop and that the current count will stand, too bad they only counted the rural areas completely.

It is possible to make glass and ceramics that are resistant to shattering from fair hard impacts. I don't know if that can be employed here, but there are other ways to deal with the problem.

Additionally, if 100,000 TB is something that people can carry by hand, then it is also possible to back up those drives relatively easily (relative to that technology).

Lastly, current silicon fabs have boxes of wafers that at the final stages can exceed $1M in the retail value. They have robots that handle those. If the 100,000 TB is worth something close to that, then a human will not be carrying it.

Factorio, it's fun from the first minute but you'll still be learning new things after 1000 hours.

Well the repubs stopped him from doing all the things that would have made him amazing, so he obviously totally sucks.

Honestly, I'm not sure why all movies over 2 hours don't have them, inserted by the theater so that they can sell more popcorn and candy.

Market cap doesn't say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it's a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.

Juries and judges are the ones who should be making those decisions though. Not a political rival.

The report found that there was insufficient evidence and therefore it wasn't worth a jury or judge's time to review the case (which is what decline to prosecute means in this situation)

Everyone says the darkest timeline started when Harambe was killed. I think it was when Stewart left the Daily Show.

Maybe this will be able to get us back a little bit.

Ahh yes, I forgot that Biden was the only person that determined who got elected to the a completely separate branch of government.

You can just say that you're a republican or a foreign agent and that you don't like Biden. You would sound more believable.
