IMO this case is a good example of one that ought to void qualified immunity as it currently stands, though I know in practice it's more difficult. I think it's plain that a "clear…

I at least partly disagree, speaking from my perspective as a small-time city council member. I agree that ideally taxpayers shouldn't pay money for this kind of misconduct. But in…

I empathize with the frustrations with Linux, and I certainly used to have them. But about 5 years ago I just... stopped having any issues at all. I switched to Debian around then,…

I can't find anything more than hearsay about this, but I've now encountered the idea several times that Tesla chose or developed an unusual alloy to mitigate oilcanning, a phenome…

For small, transactional dealings where the amount of work is easy to predict, there may just be a fixed fee for that. For more open-ended work, it is often billed by the hour (tim…

7z can list and extract from ext4 images. Respectively: $ 7z l $ 7z x

Notably, you've chosen 3 luxury ICE models, and luxury cars are another heavier-than-average group.

It's mostly just a misnomer. A 110 V device with a 5% tolerance, for example, would not work on nominal US circuits.

100-240V 50-60Hz switching supplies are common "worldwide" or "universal" adapters, definitely not an indication of service voltage standard here.

Sure, but the nominal value is still 120 V.

Nobody's pointed it out yet, so I'll mention it: US voltage is 120 V (240 V phase to phase), not 110 V. And while 115 V is within service tolerances specified by ANSI C84.1 (114 V …

Those devices for which it works fine are such devices that don't request any I/O space

I can't say I agree. The answer to debilitating addiction isn't to make someone feel even worse about it (to the extent they don't already feel terrible). It's to provide meaningfu…

Of course it hasn't reduced addiction. The quote from TFA explains it best: "If you take away the criminal-justice system as a pathway that gets people into treatment, you need to …

It also depends heavily on how you define "need". Calculus changed the way I view many, many concepts and phenomena. I think we present things like calculus as dryly as possible, a…

It's a shame that part-of-speech analysis tools aren't more widely available or widely used. That could at least reduce the damage done on "flat" -> "apartment", even when only con…

Infill development comes with its own challenges. A coordinated effort to increased density in a city would necessarily be disruptive to a lot of people's housing. That's not to sa…

One approach I've heard of that specifically addresses short-term rentals is to limit the number or density of such units within a city or a particular district.

Yep, it would not be exceptional to see short-term rental regulations in zoning codes in the US. I'm guessing in some states you'd have legal challenges if you required owner occup…

Zoning actually addresses both construction and land use and often a lot of other things. Where I live, it would be absolutely routine to see something like short-term rental restr…

I use it to plan meals and make grocery lists each week. It's very good at that task, and it saves me a lot of monotony.

I gather I'm the weirdo here, but I really _don't_ want a ducted heat pump, even though my conventionally-built 1950s home is currently full of ductwork for the two forced-air furn…

I feel that the writing style reinforced the well-thought-out consistency of the system. The information of value was all right there, so I didn't feel worried about getting a bill…

Seems the distinction wouldn't improve OP's outlook besides.
