That is in fact Sam Reich's dad. Less importantly, he is also former secretary of labor.

It's more than just a water level issue. As I understand it, the Amoc is responsable for warmer water cycling up to the coasts of western Europe resulting in warmer temperatures than they would normally get at that latitude. It would change the temperature and weather experienced there. Hank Green did a video talking about how it could potentially affect Ireland about a month ago.

The real question is how does pressure factor in? I don't care what kind of preparations you make. If you end up at the bottom of the Mariana trench you won't survive 30 seconds. You just go from biology to physics instantaneously.

We do have sphincters that separate various parts of our digestive tract...

You can also spike the brain of the fish. There's stuff online about Ikejime which is supposed to be a way to quickly kill the fish to improve the quality of the meat. There's resources online about it.

It wasn't just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn't affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread "addressing" the changes and concerns was brutal.

I think that's true for the arts in general. Unless you are both extraordinary talented and are able to get lots of people to recognize that talent it's hard to make a living in the arts. Art is a wonderful thing to be passionate about, and it is an important part of life and society despite how some people tend to downplay its value. It's rarely stable work. There is a reason why there are tropes like the starving artist or actors waiting tables.

The damage of a bike hitting a person is much lower, but that isn't the only factor. I think there is a disconnect between whether a person on a pedal bike is a pedestrian or a road vehicle. I've seen people ride through crosswalks like a pedestrian even though they are technically supposed to dismount here if you're on the sidewalk. It's harder for a driver to anticipate a bike since they are generally going much faster than a pedestrian (not a great excuse for hitting one though). You can absolutely break the speed limit in a school zone on a bike and I've heard of people getting ticketed for it. On the other hand, I've seen people ride on bike lanes on the road act like idiots. I've quite a few people riding against the flow of traffic even though there is a clear arrow indicating which direction to ride. It wouldn't hurt to have more people aware of the laws regarding commuting on bikes. On the other hand, a license could make it more difficult for the people that would normally rely on a bicycle as a form of transportation. Maybe it's mainly a US thing?

Just keep in mind you can run into issues with some of the highest capacity cards. There are limits to how much music an ipod can handle depending on the generation which aren't immediately obvious. Dankpods mentioned it in one of his older videos.

If you're on a Mac, I think ipods are still recognized and you can use their software to sync and manage music. You can only sync over music you own so no apple music obviously.

All they wanna do is eat your brains. We're at an impasse here. Maybe we should compromise.

Hell, if you want it connected to the Internet to adjust the schedule on the fly or to report when food is low or an error has occured that's fine. I could see that being useful. Why on earth would you make it so the actual timer functionality isn't local?

The Echo Mini is pretty good and they've been updating the firmware to add stuff for a while now. My biggest gripes with it would be there is a hard limit of a little over 8000 songs even if there is enough space for more on your SD card. It's something to do with how it indexes the library. It also doesn't really support playlists, although I think the most recent update allows you to play everything within a genre so you could do some shenanigans with that.

I had the V60. It was a little big, but audio was great. I miss the headphone jack. I'm sad they don't make phones anymore.

I'm not an electrician but I've been in a similar spot. If you have non computer stuff that has a ground prong, you can replace a two prong receptacle with a 3 prong GFCI outlet and not hook up the ground. You just need to lable the outlet as "No equipment ground". GFCI outlets generally come with these stickers since it is a common retrofit. If you hook it up right, any outlet that is GFCI protected downstream could be replaced with a 3 prong receptacle without a ground and would have to be labeled "GFCI protected" and "No equipment ground". Even though there isn't a ground, you are protected from electric shock by GFCI. You shouldn't plug a computer into an outlet like that since computers use ground to filter noise from their power supply and require an equipment ground. If you need an equipment ground, you would need to talk to an electrician.
