Yes - if Cities were so inherently attractive why did so many willingly flee them during the pandemic and not return?

If Apple hadn't adopted USB for the iMac, especially the fruity colored iMacs, which then spawned hundreds if not thousands of brightly colored accessories, who knows if it ever wo…

My favorite were SCSI network adapters and SCSI "graphics cards". Ah, the days before USB!

Based on what? The receiver knows where it is since it has GPS. Starlink knows the orbits of their own satellites. Why wouldn't they queue up connections to upcoming satellites and…

Group coaching has been a godsend for me. Find a local group or join a virtual one like https://www.adhdrewired.com/about/

"FWIW Grainger has created a consumer-targeted website called Zoro" How the heck did I not know this existed? Thanks!

A fossil fuel fire can be extinguished by snuffing it. By a fire extinguisher if it's caught small enough, or by a fire department with sufficient quantities of water. Lithium Ion …

"but the business wasn't working" This. Otherwise why would have Dell sold VMWare to Broadcom in the first place?

And you will pay more. Local gas station beats Costco by $0.10 a gallon if you pay cash. Which I happily do.

All you have to do is look at the receipt.

No kidding. I got my mom to buy a laptop and external display since it wasn't much more than a mini/monitor but for some reason she hates the laptop. It's not rational, she just wa…

Furthermore, oil fires can be extinguished by water and/or CO2 - Lithium battery fires can't be smothered and require exponentially more water to bring under control (producing cop…

Are you familiar with Boyle's Law? You compress a gas and it heats? Higher compression of air/fuel lowers the detonation point. If your air/fuel mixture detonates at the wrong time…

I think you are missing the key point: it takes a fraction of the energy vs. the solar desalinization you are referring to.

Open Shell has been a first install for me since Windows 7.

Just ask the dealer to compute the out the door price. It really isn't that difficult and certainly doesn't require yet another stupid regulation!

Nope, manufacturers get penalized by CAFE regulations if they have too many cars of certain types. It's batshit insane.

Was watching a video on the new Lexus RX 350s and they are moving to electronic door mechanisms too. Talk about solving a problem that doesn't exist - oh how I loathe modern vehicl…

"and they're not even reasonably cheaper than the competition." Such as?

That would be pretty hard to do since the mRNA "vaccine" neither prevented infection or stopped the spread.

Now let's add millions of electric cars to the grid too. And ban natural gas for heating too.

Indeed. Heck even VCRs were rare back then - how many people happened to record that and then thought to go back frame by frame to pick the address up? It was an entirely different…

A huge pop-culture example: The Simpsons with Bart and Moe going back and forth
