I can't speak for anyone else but I definitely didn't have gravity explained in school as the rotation of an objects 4-vector due to a temporal gradient.

Micro$oft

I dislike Microsoft and basically everything they've done with Windows post-7. Every machine I own that isn't expressly for gaming is running Linux, and one of the two that are for gaming is also running Linux. When I build a new gaming tower to replace my current Windows one it will also run Linux, I just can't be bothered to switch OSes mid-way.

And yet people using childish denigrating nicknames like this immediately makes me disinclined to engage with the conversation. I don't understand how anyone expects to be taken seriously while throwing around schoolyard-grade name-calling like this.

For those of you who've never experienced the joy of PowerBuilder, this could often happen in their IDE due to debug mode actually altering the state of some variables.

More specifically, if you watched a variable or property then it would be initialised to a default value by the debugger if it didn't already exist, so any errors that were happening due to null values/references would just magically stop.

Another fun one that made debugging difficult, "local" scoping is shared between multiple instances of the same event. So if you had, say, a mouse move event that fired ten times as the cursor transited a row and in that event you set something like integer li_current_x = xpos the most recent assignment would quash the value of li_current_x in every instance of that event that was currently executing.

Bell and Rogers actually don't share their towers in Canada.

Or they just don't want to be reminded of a terrible movie.

I'd add Seven Seas of Rhye to that list.

It's also wild to me how many of the most played Queen songs are among their least interesting.

I'd argue that they still exist, unless we're just ignoring prison labour.

I was surprised to see that they dug a verse from the Book of Enoch. It's not even considered to be canon within Christianity or Judaism.

Exactly this. I have a couple of small projects that are MIT licensed specifically because I don't care how people use them or what they use them for. If someone finds it useful then they're welcome to do whatever they want with it.

This idea that I'm being somehow hoodwinked or taken advantage of because the thing that I explicitly said could be used freely is being used in a way that doesn't align with the values of some other completely uninvolved third party is beyond absurd.

At best you're buying into a collective agreement of ownership among those also participating in the NFT ecosystem. You own a thing because a large enough group of people agree you own it and respect the authority of that token.

At worst you've been scammed and are trying to convince yourself the above is true and that said "large enough group" includes anyone at all capable of enforcing said ownership. Spoilers: it does not.

Is that a step further though? I feel like not giving kids access to VR Chat comes way before not giving them a smartphone in terms of restrictiveness or severity. It's a far more reasonable suggestion.

Use standard cruise control when the passing lane(s) are clear(er) so they can pass at their cruise speed at leisure without either having to speed up or hold up traffic behind them to perform the pass.

This works fine with adaptive cruise, just change lanes before you reach the adaptive follow distance.

Okay. But why are you turning on adaptive cruise in the first place if you don't want it at all on the highway? You say you want to switch it "quickly and easily", but it's not like you just wind up on multilane highways without warning.

Surely you notice that you're coming up on someone and can switch to the left lane before you're close enough that the adaptive cruise starts slowing you down though? It kind of sounds like you just don't want adaptive cruise at all, since you want to turn it off any time it "adapts".

That doesn't explain anything. I'll be more clear.

Can you explain why it would be necessary to suddenly need to turn off adaptive cruise and switch to fixed speed cruise?

Can you explain a scenario where that would be necessary? Given that adaptive cruise slows you down below your target speed to follow traffic all I can see that doing is either nothing on an open road, or accelerating you into the vehicle in front of you.

Tapping the brakes has immediately turned off cruise control in every vehicle I've ever driven.

Touchscreen of any type

I think a touchscreen is fine as long as real buttons exist for things a driver might want to manipulate while driving. My Outlander has a fairly large touchscreen that offers media and navigation control, but everything else (climate, drive modes, cruise control/drive assists, windows, locks, etc) is real buttons and dials, and there are also an extra set of basic media controls on physical buttons as well (volume, next/prev track, tuning).

I'm quite happy with that. And the passenger still gets all the touchscreen bells and whistles if they want to explore the map or set up playlists or whatever.

Women are you using a Xerox multifunction device location to this email and any attachments is intended only for the same time and consideration and I will be in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time...

It loops on that forever.
