To keep the dog & cat from drinking out of it. Very unpopular with the quadrupeds & half of the bipeds. The growth that occurs on the underside of the lid makes for a good reminder…

More plausibly, they are seeding the Demon Haunted World theory to distract the populous from their immediate problems. I found the timing of resurgent UFO/UAP stories & official s…

I don't disagree, but it seems better to respond with appreciation for their candidness.

I had myname.com for 15 years. I let it go when I had email hosting issues, the Covid hit & I scrutinized my cost:benefit of inflating registrar and hosting fees over the years.

Good to know that is a factor, thanks. You and the parent posters' disclosure is appreciated.

Thanks. I tried FastMail a few years back. I had delayed mail problems. Reached out to them. Their email, informing everything looked good on their end, had a 4 hour delay in the h…

I've sent emails to ~ 30 entities since July, and the only 3 respondents were: a 'test' reply from a friend, one business & one .gov. I setup a PM mail for job applications & the l…

I thought of Leto Atreides II in the 4th Dune book. edit: not the op.

We just passed 1 month since acquisition, and yet the multitude of articles(and 1000's of posts here on HN) calling out Twitter for not paying it's debts makes it seem like they ar…

Following extra spicy foods with a pint or two of milk neutralizes the post pyrotechnics, for me. If lactose intolerant, sugar works, but not as well(Perhaps in large/unhealthy qua…

Ask most persons who text + drive and they will self-report their advanced multi-tasking skills. Ask anyone who shares space around them on the road and that opinion will be, appro…

Harry Harrison turned Russel's 'thought experiment' into a trilogy of novels. Much more entertaining & thought provoking than the SSR series, to my (then) 15 year old brain. West O…

They certainly went full Fox News 180° when Trump was elected.

Sounds good, will be watching. Squyres' book, Roving Mars, is highly recommended. A deep, technical accounting of his life-long ambition to get his equipment on Mars.

Ken Burns made a documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_the_Air:_The_Men_Who...

Unsure, sounds like a dark pattern or, being generous, maybe liability avoidance wordage. I have crimped >1000 non "Pass-Thru™" connectors(outdoor/shielded) with mine. edit: expand…

Klein hand tools. Full stop. Below is my favorite. Caveat, it takes some getting accustomed to if you're used to the standard plier style(They make those, too). edit:plier handle s…

Agreed. There is a pop-up asking if you want to help at install(FF & TB). Big data has earned a reputation for just cause. If the Mozillas want to differentiate themselves to get t…

The only problems I experienced are when the wireless bands are deprecated. I'd still be rolling my n900, otherwise. Old drivers or not, there is/was still some development going o…

>AdBlock was sold to an anonymous buyer in 2015 And immediately started allowing "acceptable ads", selling usage data & AdBlock Plus came to be. I thought the original was dead alr…

To add: Custom kernel, de-googled ROM(sans Play Store) & side-loading apps.

"Typical" speeds & "typical" latency. Still allowed to bundle services, a.k.a. obfuscate prices. Although a cursory scan, I did not see it specify throttled speeds on certain unlim…

In a year or two, when that notebook has been filled and replaced with newer notebooks, make some time to go back and reread. It is wild sometimes, re-reading things I forgot I kno…
