  • Then why do it at every 10 years instead of when the applicant hits a certain age threshold?

    In Minnesota, your vision gets tested every time you renew your license and if you have to put on corrective lenses to take it then that goes on your license. You get pulled over not wearing corrective lenses and it's on your license you can be penalized for that. You fail the vision test you don't get to renew.

  • You're missing a .

    There have been many extinction events in Earth’s history. There have been five big mass extinction events and several smaller ones.

    There have now been many studies focused on the question of whether humans were a key driver of the QME. Many suggest that the answer is yes. Climatic changes might have driven an initial decline in large mammal populations — small population crashes — but human pressures are likely to have thwarted their recovery. Large mammals survived previous periods of climatic change, but the arrival of humans put pressure on already-depleted populations.

  • My understanding is there was maybe some truth to the travel distance once upon a time but that with sabot rounds for shotguns now the ballistics are almost the same between rifle and shotgun.

  • Pursuit predation/persistence hunting has to be one of the most metal characteristics about humans.

  • This is also demonstrated well in the show Travelers with T.E.L.L.

    Basically, a quantum AI from the future uses historical records to determine the time, elevation, latitude and longitude to send people back. Obviously the Earth itself is the reference point being used.

  • US hit with mass shootings and fatal accidents on Fourth of July holiday any day of the week that ends in Y.

  • I wonder if those restrictions go back to the Great Depression? That's the case for the shotgun only areas in southern Minnesota.

  • Isn't the husband the investor? Wouldn't he be subtly saying he slept with her husband.

  • I have an internal voice/monologue day-to-day but visual when engaging in recall.

    Easiest way to describe it is when I read a novel it's all going in as words but if I think about a specific part later it's recalled as a picture my mind created out of the words. I read the book but recall the movie.

  • Where do they limit hunting to only bow or black powder?

    I know states in the Midwest have special seasons/times for bow/black powder hunting but the regular deer season isn't limited that way.

  • I can't speak to your specific examples since I don't work there.

    The reasons beyond CapEx considerations are things like security, compliance, warranty coverage expiration, standardization across the org, general employee satisfaction, hardware falling out of vendor support.

    I doubt the banks computers are single purpose or purchased specifically for each job role. Sure a 15 or 30 year old computer might technically work but there's no way it'll meet regulatory security compliance rules.

    The home user/hobbyist approach really doesn't scale to corporate IT.

  • Banks and corporations change computers every 3-5 years because accounting love to lease rather to buy

    3-5 years is a pretty standard depreciation schedule for IT equipment like computers, peripheral accessories etc.

    Computers and laptops (using Straight-line method): 31.67% with a useful life of 3 years.

    Computers and laptops (using Written Down Value method): 63.16% with a useful life of 3 years

    It really has nothing to do with leasing vs. buying.

  • Did they do what McDonald's did and switch from beef tallow to vegetable oil?

    I miss the old McDonald's fries but I like that their less terrible for you, but yet they're still not vegetarian/vegan.

  • Are the warrants legitimate? Are any of the claims made by DHS or ICE to be trusted? This is a legitimate question because I don't follow boxing and just assume at this point that anything ICE/DHS says is lies.

  • It's entirely possible that this is because of the 3,000/day quota they were set. If they deport them rather than just let them leave then they can credit that as a 'deportation'.

  • maybe a small park a 15 minute walk away

    This is really dependent on where you live in the US. I just checked and the house I grew up in was within a 15 minute or less walk of 7 parks and 15 minutes isn't really that far to walk. Especially in the US.

  • Honestly that quote sounds a lot like my childhood in Minnesota in the late 80s and early 90s.

    Some of that might be rosy retrospection but I wonder how much this has changed in the US over the years.

  • Nah, Wisconsin has weather that requires more cautious driving a big chunk of the year.

    A lot of the higher end states from the US in the graph are in southern parts of the country which are largely red politically which likely means reduced safety regulations, and have more consistent road conditions and weather through the year.
