Gray Jays exist in North America, so that names already taken. (They have been renamed to "Canada Jay," but that's a hilarious story for another day)

Human changes to ecosystems have altered the range of many bird species. Not just climate -- farming, ranching, housing, and recreational land uses tend to dramatically cause chang…

California includes a number of counties which are actually in Baja California and Baja California del Sur.

It's the other way around. SLI falling out of fashion is why there are no consumer boards with multiple x16 slots. There's no longer any demand for it on the consumer side, so the …

Shipping is a low-margin business. That business structure does not incentivize paying for careful analysis of failure modes. Seems to me the only effective and enforceable redunda…

He has a good article on that at [1] But here's the gist: sometimes you have an object you want to copy, but then abandon the original. Maybe it's to return an object from a functi…

Yep. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17783-nephrog...

As someone with CKD and scheduled for an MRI, this was anxiety-inducing. The Cleveland Clinic has a good overview[1]. Since there have been no reports of NSF in 15 years, I don't t…

I went hunting for a reference for your statement, and was successful. Clevland Clinc says "There haven’t been any new reports of NSF in almost 15 years" [1] [1] https://my.clevela…

This is asking too much. The management of trim, reallocation, wear leveling, and so much more is very complex. It's a full software stack hiding behind the abstraction of NVMe. Ev…

One of the consequences of being part of administration that lies constantly is that it is very difficult to trust they are telling the truth. Since this is based on the Interior D…

The in-person verification of hotspots was good, but in-person verification of non-hotspots was not done, and might be difficult.

The Fairness Doctrine has become an urban legend among the left with a regrettable amount of built-up legends of its power. Whatever you think it did, it almost certainly did not d…

ACE Rail (from Stockton to San Jose) has an absolutely wonderful network of eight shuttle buses that meet the train when it arrives at the Great America station[1]. They fan out ac…

>When FileVault is enabled, the data volume is locked and unavailable during and after booting This is incorrect. Macs do only a tiny partial boot before showing the login. The rea…

What I would like: First, ICE should be competent. There's a long history of them being the dumbest and most thug-like people to hold a badge. Compare this to the US Postal Inspect…

Built by a company that has never built an aircraft too. That seems... unlikely. Seems like if this idea really makes sense, it's exactly the kind of thing the EU would subsidize A…

The tollhouse recipe is amazingly fragile. Slight variations in temperature can make the cookies "go flat" or end up with a thick skin. No surprise there is a variation of outcomes…

Yes! I like to vacation in the summer at Mammoth Lakes (~8000 ft ~2400m) and coffee is a bit of a problem. I like weak coffee and compensate for altitude by adding more grounds, bu…

Are you criticizing something other than what is in this article? This article fully rejects the immunity debt hypothesis. The article suggests that covid infections cause immunity…

Nope. It's top-10 for most dangerous [1]. [1] https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/deta...

The article says "safest roads," but the statistic used to demonstrate that is deaths per 100K people rather than deaths per kilometer driven. Seems to me the latter would be a muc…

Ok, but Parallels Desktop is actively supported.

Yes. The original article[1] is clear about that. However only for one of the two Neutrogena sunscreens. [1] https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-persona...
