My reading is that the employee did not know the method but only of its existence.

It probably goes deeper than you expect. A friend of mine unknowingly bought counterfeit Darn Tough socks from Amazon, and only found out when he sent them in for warranty repair. …

If you read the rest of the comment you’ll find it’s about their employees rather than their clientele.

Chickens are very effective at removing ticks, but “just” getting some chickens is a little bit more work than tossing tubes outside.

Mostly no. Dead leaves that were just lying on a trailer without getting cleaned in advance and bits of decorative plants that broke off are probably the worst offenders.

I use MacOS and iOS for home home devices and Windows for work, and use Strongbox on the Apple side with KeePassXC on the Windows side and sync them using DropBox.

The obvious answer is because VNAs are heavy and the person who would otherwise have to carry it isn't the person who has to pay for a replacement.

How'd you conclude that artists are doing fine? That doesn't match my experience or observations at all.

Until a few years ago merchants were not allowed to charge credit card fees. In that case, online fees make a legally-allowable proxy for credit card surcharges.

This position sounds bonkers to me. I don’t care at all about who I sit next to on a plane but like to see concerts with friends.

I’m surprised to hear that it was such a common failure. I used plenty of lighting devices back in their hay day and plenty of USBC devices since they became common. I don’t tend t…

My naive fix would be to disable extensions from accessing form field data without explicit approval. Hell, add different approval boxes for read, write, and hidden-text. What am I…

I think that "it's better to know" only really holds up if the scope / context is also included. To put it in concrete terms, I'd amend your statement like this: Kagi indirectly fu…

Is it OK to comment on and critique the message, though?

All they have to do is pretend to be a concerned neighbor who wants to help give mutual aid and hope that someone in the group chat takes the bait and adds them in. No further conv…

It's even easier than that. They're simply asking on neighborhood Facebook (and other services too, I assume) groups to be added to mutual aid Signal groups and hoping that somebod…

There's a strong argument that you should never be plugging in USB devices while driving but it's hard to argue that you shouldn't adjust the lane centering settings while in motio…

Apple Music got extremely slow for me in (atypical, granted) situations that used to be perfectly snappy. I keep recordings of a radio show in my Music library, with the whole seri…

In practice they tend to substitute A with B, and B is often times even more destructive (black market fentanyl rather than medical opioids, or just inhalants).

Where can you buy just the cardboard cover?

I'm also curious about this. They're coming to Minneapolis next year, so apparently they're confident in their ability to figure out cold / unpredictable weather (in urban conditio…

But they're exclusively used in areas that allow both human and AI drivers, so this hardly seems relevant.

I like it. One thing I found frustrating is that I used a hint when I was stuck, and the hint just said “Impossible! Square X needs N matching neighbors.” This was obvious, why did…

IMO 500 watts of sustained electrical power is a fair bit, especially compared to every other electric device these households are likely to have.
