"I'm right, they are wrong, and the ends justify the means". For as horrible as I hear the right is, it seems to be only the left advocating explicitly for violence, while I'm told…

Mine go down fairly regularly. I have even been cut a check for adding cars to my insurance.

I won a silent computer 5+ years ago as a prize at a lan party. SSD drives, two of the best passively coolable gpu at the time (ATI I Believe?), passive CPU cooler, and the whole c…

At least some of their other stuff is a nightmare. I still haven't figured out how to use their oauth correctly, or use their iot stuff at all.

Sounds like ether or one of the many projects built on it (golem?).

There's a non insignificant number of people who plead guilty to murder for that same reason (to avoid death penalty) but are later exonerated via DNA evidence.

Doesn't the house of Lords have some members appointed by the church, others by birth, women weren't allowed to be Lords spiritual until 2015, and women still aren't allowed to inh…

As we say when teaching new riders to ride a motorcycle, a crash is often an intersection of factors. If you remove even one of those issues it likely would have prevented it.

I can even see merit to the argument that cutting off new supply will force people to recycle old supply to repair and keep their sensors running as well. I know I've got a few tha…

Many of them use point to point microwave (if the provider has a good microwave network in the city). Those are good for a couple of gbps each and can go anywhere in a city that's …

That's how casino dice work right?

A step beyond that: some can get fairly accurate with a single "tower". We had at minimum 3 BTS on every site, generally at 120 degree spacing but this could vary, but each BTS had…

Exact. If California had a consistent excess of solar they wouldn't need so much from the Hoover dam.

Real cell towers may use more power than unlicensed is allowed to in some cases, but not significantly much and definitely not hundreds of times. I worked at Clearwire (Clear wimax…

That was just one example of how everything is labeled a carcinogen there.

Maybe have a pop up that asks if you want sound on or off?
