Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.

House of Leaves reference?

They have! 2030.

I’m not sure if it’s a mandate, or a goal, but it’s there.

While it’s no consolation to these current people, they are trying to make the switch to lead-free aviation fuel. It’s partly a regulatory nightmare, and partly a genuine safety challenge; mandating a fuel change in aviation without adequate research and understanding can result in unexpected engine malfunctions.

The author needed the word count lol

There are ones with clauses that say “cancel any time” and then when you actually try to cancel they make it a substantial pain.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the film Gattaca, which is centered around genetic identity.

In preparing to get my ticket in 2020, I hopped on the Utah WebSDR and even got a shortwave listener (SWL) QSL card from a guy in the Cook Islands (E51JD).

Earlier this year I made a two-way QSL (contact) with him using my rig and 100W.

There’s a ton to learn, do, or accomplish if you want. So many facets to amateur radio.

I’m working on CW now!

There’s a whole other section on defensive driving, I’m certain of it.

In this case, you’d be expected to exercise reasonable judgement on whether this UFO may be developing into a hazard. Four-ways on, and pull to the side of the road if it’s safe to do so.

Your last sentence is the answer. Your driving manual probably says “drivers must yield to other vehicles occupying a lane”, which in your example would be a UFO.

Lede:

Under a local law, drivers are supposed to be paid even for the time they spend between trips. But Uber and Lyft found a money-saving loophole: Simply prevent them from logging into the apps, erasing some of their working time from the record.

We’re at maximum of solar cycle 25; these Aurora are the direct result of Earth-directed CMEs which have happened in the past few days. This most recent one being an X-class flare.

Fabulous time for sky-gazers and amateur radio operators!

There’s still plenty of corporate greed to complain about, a la attempts to privatize the USPS, as a single example.

The issue is often framed as a burden: “the USPS costs American taxpayers x-billion/trillion dollars per year”, instead of the societal marvel that it is.

Try sending a standard letter across the US for less than $1 with FedEx or UPS.

The USPS was founded before the IRS, and even prior to the Declaration of Independence. That it’s technically older than the US, and one can still send a standard letter anywhere in the US for less than $1 is a service we need to protect.

Hurricanes.gov

fr. 100% free and already funded by your tax dollars.

They will unfortunately also get filtered. What I do is to direct important callers to ensure they leave a VM, or send an email or text.

Planned obsolescence hidden behind a “feature”.

In ten years, when they want to pull the plug on this game, they will cite dwindling users and “exorbitant” per-user maintenance costs.

They don’t want playable legacies. They want something they can leverage for nostalgia marketing in 20 years, and if you break out the original game, they won’t make any money. Production companies want you to buy what they are offering today, because it pays for new yachts.

If he can speed run to $1.6b, he can restart Three Mile Island.

The very first video on YouTube was 19 seconds.

Then videos got so long they created shorts.

Now shorts are longer than the first YouTube video.

We’ve come full circle.

A three minute short is not a short, it is a video lol

Corned beef, rice, shallots warm my soul. Love when my spouse makes it for me.
