The only issue I have with secession talk is there are lots of Texas citizens who aren't the problem. Every red state has people with common sense, they just don't have the ability at the moment to shut up the idiots. Plus secession at this point is ludicrous, leaving with your toys isn't how you fix problems. Oh wait, it's Republicans, they don't ever have solutions anymore anyway it's all a political game.

"The economy looks to be recovering!"

The millions of people not doing great in various ways: "Yay."

The world may never know.

It's also a stasis field generator. You can't reverse time, but you can keep it stopped at that moment.

at least he’s not a warmonger

I guess we've forgotten his many suggestions on using nukes on other countries and even hurricanes, and that brief moment where he played "mine is bigger than yours" with North Korea. Totally peaceful guy.

Aquifers aren't immune to plastic accumulation. You may indeed be fortunate and so far have purer water, but if you haven't tested for it, don't assume because it comes from deep underground it can't be affected.

Nothing that high level. Different systems are running independently, some may be redundant to each other in case one fails. But run something long enough especially in extreme conditions and things can drift from the baselines. If a power off and on regularly prevents that it's a lot easier than trying to chase down gremlins that could be different each time they pop up for different reasons.

Even NASA I believe has done such resets from Apollo through the unmanned probes from time to time. Mentioning Windows, the newest versions don't really do this baseline reset if you just shut them down, even if you disable the hibernate/sleep modes, while a restart does.

I mean there's plastic in the water already no matter which way you do it.

They call it Waffle House for a reason. Just saying.

During a flight is a bit much, but some aircraft have a reboot between flights as a standard procedure to fix glitches that would happen if the plane was left on for the entire time.

Not all Hyundais (or older cars) are the same. I get the spirit, but while my 17 year old Santa Fe has a lot of miles on it, I'd rather the assholes just stay away so I don't have to go through the experience of a wreck, insurance, and possible new car payments on a newer vehicle that I have to relearn all the quirks. So I let the idiots fight each other and watch from afar as much as possible, which includes being a "beta" driver. But that's what they taught us, right? Defensive driving?

The evolution path of the cellular/smart phone didn't always need a protective cover. That was a result of smaller easily handheld devices and more fragile components, as well as a convenient add-on product. Remember the earlier Nokia-types and their belt clip-ons for this same dropping problem? Plus they were still a bit heavy for slipping into a pocket.

The reason why the comparison doesn't work is that there is a century or more of experience and research for cars and similar surfaces exposes to the elements, Tesla/Musk just decided to be different despite the glaring evidence it was a bad idea.

They are the more progressive state. So imagine how other states are in regards to caring much.

There were a number of books back then like that (mysteries and such), with the idea that you only revealed the answers to things you couldn't figure out.

As for the game itself, the one part that I have a continued memory about is where you could press the button labeled "Do Not Press". Only doing it a few times gave you the same "nothing happens" message, but being persistent got a different one. Infocom games were so great and full of humor, even the non-Douglas Adams ones.

I actually saw this exact same thing happen to of all things, an older Kroger store. They closed the store and revamped the building as a new Harris Teeter. Same location and customers, but the prices were higher than previously, and the other competition nearby. The selection was also far worse. Many of the old employees went to other stores, so
I'm guessing the wages took a similar dive.

The greatest generation birthed the boomers, who did not live up to their parents' reputation or expectation.

Buy a used older model if you need a machine. Because it's cheaper, because it is more basic in its components, because those parts are probably cheaper to buy and replace yourself if need be, and mainly because someone is selling it at its age because it STILL works. Anything tied to a circuit board with a processor is a time bomb.

They're all going to you. Do you have an unusual amount of single socks too?

I've heard one (of many) caveats in buying an English-made car is the sizes of nuts and bolts when working on it.

That makes no sense. It would (only a little) if it was the other way around, since 0C and 100C are based on water, and F is "easier" to relate in how one feels hot or cold (I know that's totally subjective).
