The fact that one would be more fun than the other implies that equality (on that front) isn't in the cards.

I'm seeing a net debt of about $400 hanging over you guys after all is said and done. I don't think anyone is clamoring for that money to be paid back, but I'd be happier if you guys didn't have to worry about it. I'll send some money for that reason, as well as all the good work you all do in supporting and maintaining this. Thank you.

The spread is already down to 11 points. Hopefully the choices the Liberals and other parties make can narrow this further.

One more person complaining about the shitty meal.

The USA.gov website implies you are wrong, else why would they say this?

Whether you were born an American citizen or became one through naturalization, if you have dual citizenship

You ignored the look on the doctor's face when he said that, didn't you? Exactly what inside do you think he was talking about? He got the idea from doing it inside hospitals, so it wasn't that.

When I was younger I learned a lot of things the hard way. For a decade of my childhood I went to the emergency room at least once a year due to accidents.

Then get out of technology and start reading posts in buy it for life.

In my lifetime, about the only rechargeable battery the average person had in their home was the one in their car. Now we've added 4 new major battery chemistries to the commercial space, some with multiple variants within them and all with improvements throughout their lifetimes. This is what science and technology looks like. The results you're looking for would be magic or wishful thinking.

Worst AI prompt ever.

I had the memorable experience of watching the first movie in the theatre's. When the apple scene happened a bunch of teenage girls started ooohing and aaahing and I laughed so hard. Then one of my friends smacked my shoulder. I have no regrets.

"Follow." Like that wire around Manhattan so the whole place counts as home.

There are fixed costs and proportional costs. Property taxes aren't put on hold just because you aren't running. A certain amount of maintenance will be needed whether or not you produce a watt of power. Some maintenance costs will increase the more power you produce, including fuel costs. All of these factors need to be taken into cosideration when determining how much any given watt costs to produce.

Well, I suppose they could just take out the stretch of power line between me and my neighbors who use their service and cut down those maintenance costs altogether!

This isn't like a driveway, it's more like a road. It's used by more people than the people whose property it's in front of. And where I live, the property owner is considered to be the owner of the lines that extend from the grid to the home, so guess who already pays the maintenance costs on that?

Here's had an Iranian general killed in his own country. It's all posturing until it isn't, which is a big part of the problem. Whish is pointless rambling and which is a legitimate threat?

My work was using some MS-based account system, but I don't know if this was stock or something they modified. When you had to change your password, it would tell you if your new password didn't meet the password requirements, as usual. What it wouldn't tell you was what those requirements were...

So yeah, the requirements the system won't tell you about would have to be the worst one i came across...

The gold is a nice touch.

You helped me narrow it down. I expect Adrian Thompson's research from the 90s, referenced in this Wikipedia article is what you're thinking of.

The particular example was getting clock-like behavior without a clock. It had an incomplete circuit that used RF reflection or something very similar to simulate a clock. Of course, removing this dead-end circuit broke the design.

Yes, resistive heat is expensive, but that's only part of what makes heat pumps in cars more effective. They don't just heat your cabin, they heat your battery so you maintain range while it's cold out. Here's an article with more details and some pretty infographics.
