    Of course they do. How do you think warranty works for in-person cash purchases?

    I do actually prefer Never Tear Us Apart in the opening scene more so the director's cut is the usual way I rewatch it. Have to agree with gp that some of the other changes are unf…

    In both cases people are using the heuristics they have to deal with the onslaught of slop, nothing wrong with that.

    100 bytes in 20 seconds would only be 40 bps. Surely you can do better than that even using only one bit symbols (off/on).

    How about attaching a generator to the corded electric lawnmower. That would solve both the long cable and charging problems.
