Yup, there was some political bill discussion about some recent issue and others were posting links, so I thought I'd concur with an interesting vote breakdown link showing how eac…

Quality of life is very subjective though. Americans by and large are anti-social, so these sparse layouts/nimbyism are a result of that. This in turn reinforces living patterns wh…

A few years ago I tried the old cheque method to get a refund and it took well into September to arrive...

Well the obvious is that, monkey-see-monkey-do, and they don't want to miss out. But the insidious externality is that they are the most likely ones (and higher ups) to be invested…

Food deserts too, i was surprised to learn.

Hole punching, which has various forms, may or may not work. This means if you're doing something realtime, you may need to stick a server(reachable endpoint) in between it, at the…

Hey Flock, show me all toyota tacomas with a Raiders sticker who have passed any check point, in the last 35 minutes.... I dont even care about the license plate.

Thank you for doing this.

Both are true, and both should be allowed to exist as they serve different purposes. Sound engineers don't use lossy formats such as MP3 when making edits in preproduction work, as…

I could have sworn, back in my day, on WinNT4 we successfully chained a red and white pair from Autodesk. One for AutoCad, and either Mechanical Desktop or 3ds Max.

I had a very similar story related to this as well. For the longest time I always assumed RF remotes were the ancient ones, as growing up, we had an old large Magnavox console tv, …

yeah, when i used to live in New England, and had more time to be interested in transit, i always was peaked in how comcast would route. No matter how far south i seemed to get, i'…
