Spend $20 at your local Burger King and we'll turn off that oil leak!

I guess everyone has their own system that works for them, though I feel like this is bit over engineering. Also having to peel tiny stickers adds friction to the flow, even if it’…

I would add a word of caution before using nail polish remover (which is acetone). Acetone can damage and melt certain plastics. It can cause clear plastic to become cloudy. Using …

If the enemy already has a base inside your country, you're at a severe disadvantage... it's like realizing you've been cannon rushed in starcraft

To be honest I've never even heard of the "Farmers Almanac", but its #2 on HN now. Am I the only one here?

Edit: I take that back. Another photo has emerged showing more blood. https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatLookedExpensive/comments/1oalnx... -- None of the articles I have seen have said …

I suspect the cuts on the pilot's arm are from BEFORE the incident. The blood looks a pretty dried up and the yellowish streaks look like some kind of antiseptic ointment was appli…

The military gliders made sense because they were landing in hostile territory, usually nowhere near a runway for a return trip. Those gliders were pretty much a one-way, one-time-…

It's politically convenient to blame PG&E for what happened in Paradise. But I would not say it's 100% on them; I've been to Paradise before the fire, and it was impressively beaut…

Best I could come up with was that they're trying to make a mockery of Texas's position on the case. But the odd capitalization isn't frequent enough to make it obvious, so I too w…

I know someone who works at Apple QA. A lot of it is done by wholly unqualified contractors who blindly check off test cases as passed. Sad to say it, but most of these contractors…

My guess - the app's users uploading university course material to a third party is likely a violation of school rules. Emory IT disabled the button to generate Canvas access token…

All you need is Bruce Willis and his team of oil drillers to break up an asteroid.

Thinking out loud here, but why sand and not water? Yes, water is only 1000kg/m^3, but probably much easier to transfer around using pumps and pipes. Water can make good use of the…

Just use a proxy human to pass through the output from the LLM

We (the voters) could also have our own LLMs that the candidate LLM would have to convince to vote for them. We can totally abstract away the whole campaigning BS, just let the LLM…

Very interesting video that shows a clear picture of how the plug is held in place. Some interesting spots in the video, 8:44 shows how the upper two locking bolts lock the roller …

Or one clock tower and a flux capacitor...

I would be surprised if the James Bond people don't take issue with the 007 moniker. There have been "007 Edition" BMWs in the past, and given the spy's association with cars, it c…

What about a real-time voice-to-text transcription of the interview?

Relevant law cited elsewhere in the thread: "(e) Failure to Preserve Electronically Stored Information. If electronically stored information that should have been preserved in the …

> Yes, but there's presumably a difference between deleting evidence vs. not having it in the first place. In the article it seems Google's "history off" feature isn't really histo…

For situations like this I find www.automotivespecialtytool.net to be particularly useful. It's a peer-to-peer car tool rental community. So if you have a rarely used, very specifi…
