  • Single sheet of paper, yes.

    But for small out of the way towns (population 2k-10k) you'd want one specific to the town otherwise you'd be looking at a tiny speck on a state sized map. And the big maps might not have all of the small city side streets or not be up to date.

    For reference, the town I did delivery in currently has a population of ~3,000 people and occupies 2.7 square miles out of the 268,596 square miles of the Texas map. Doesn't make sense to use a map where you're only looking at about 0.0001% of it.

  • Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando's house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

    Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

    I don't miss those days.

  • The fae operate on a different set of rules. The Tooth Fairy can only take teeth that are freely offered. The dead cannot consent.

  • It's not uncommon for US BBQ to be served with a side of raw sliced white onion.

    The older I get the more I desire the raw onion.

  • Not going to be great for Samsung either. They already invested a bunch of money to bring more industry to the states on the back of $45 billion in CHIPS act subsidies.

  • I use the most boring names: LASTNAME-LAPTOP LASTNAME-PHONE LASTNAME-SERVER LASTNAME-ROUTER

    But, living in tight suburban spaces, I'm never confused whether a device is mine or somebody else's.

  • With patched firmware, yes. And there was a program to convert any PS1 iso into a PSP loadable game as well.

  • Except, a pressure gage reads the number it's pointing at. Not 1 hand means the number it's pointing at and the other means 5 times the most recent digit passed plus 1 for each tick mark.

    I'd wager that most people would never even see a pressure gage with two hands. Dual-indicating double-bourdon tube differential pressure gages are quite rare in the real world. Usually for that kind of application you'd go digital.

  • That 5th star was for making his life worth saving.

  • Not quite strong enough to be Everclear. 95% packs a helluva punch.

  • Usually they camp it in language where they are only able to cut one check (company policy of one check per PO, for example), but they need to pay two people, you and another facilitator such as a transport service. The extra money is to pay for the transport service, which is actually also the scammer.

  • That's raidio for ya

  • Yes, feelings are when you think something works in a certain way without facts to back it up. Like the opinion that strict policing reduces crime. It's a common opinion, but not one that is consistent with the facts.

    Do you think that Oakland, Chicago, and Detroit do not have police? Those cities have very harsh police departments and it's not reducing crime. What those cities do have in common is a high poverty rate when geographically controlled and above average poverty rates for the US without even taking geography into account.

    What do I want? I want to make changes that comport to the facts of the world, not people's feelings.

  • That's an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don't quite align with your feelings.

    it's imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime

    Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren't even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn't a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn't due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.

    I don't think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it's required.

    And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.

  • I personally really like StartAllBack. I just want a clean classic Windows experience.
