Maybe cosplay, not larp.

“sir, you cannot land inverted” “WATCH ME” “fine, but get it done quickly and be sure to taxi off immediately”

You aren’t really larping with that kind of allowance, right?

You do not need anything to work on cars or fly rc aircraft (within limits) and can freely play with various lithium batteries in many different manners.

You are talking about it being common sense to protect people from themselves, yet you could just as easily say it should be common sense to beleive everyone will take precautions before playing with gasoline. That’s the funny thing. There’s no such thing as common sense. “Common sense” is a bullshit concept for people to act like everyone knows something just because it’s part of the complainer’s life experience already. You know gasoline is dangerous but can be controlled. I know people generally know enough about gasoline by time they can interact with it to be safe. But if someone never interacted with it before, they’d have no idea how it behaves or what dangers are associated with it. Like, would you know how to store fertilizer in a way that it won’t combust? To farmers, it’s common sense. That doesn’t make it universally common knowledge. Or should it be obvious that snow is very slippery and might require you to drive at 1/4 speed? If you live in a place that gets snow, it’s common sense. Yet, every year, some place just south of the usual snow line gets snow for the first time in a decade and the streets become undrivable with cars piled up from residential-speed crashes. It’s not common sense if the cars have always, undoubtedly, stopped in a predictable manner, even in rain.

Regulations notoriously lack hobbyists’ level of common sense anyway. There’s often a gap between what’s legal and whether inexperienced people would even think to check if some activity is legal. The only tip off is if certain supplies are regulated.

Settings>notifications>notifications history on my pixel. Looks like just 24 hours of history, including the content

My android shows a history of notifications. Not sure what the retention period is. It does add conveniece by allowing me to check dismissed notifications. It allows some monitoring about the type, content, and frequency of notifications as well as control to block them.

It certainly now appears the convenience isn’t worth the loss of privacy, though.

Yes, but unfortunately, there’s not always an alternative left to use. If you can’t jump devices, then commercial breaks are just how it is. It’s one thing to complain that there’s no new workaround, but instead, you decried the platform for presenting the one (currently) reliable solution. That is why the platform is jumping on you.

If there’s no solution to your device, then the only solution is a new device. At some point, it made sense for me to switch out my Chromecast (gen 1? puck) and go with a dedicated media pc. Now the Chromecast lives in the garage to stream music uninterrupted while I can still watch YouTube tutorials

Yes they do. The internet is a loud minority on both ends. The majority is silent because they don’t give a shit about the politics of the CEO or privacy or reasonable expectations about their mobility appliance. It’s just an appliance. The more cool things it claims to do, the more it sells because the people buying NEW want it to look new.

This thread is full of “I don’t buy new, but here’s what new cars should do”. No, I don’t buy new either.

My roku/vizio made it seem impossible to proceed without a connection and account. The workarounds I found online vary by model. I caved to avoid a fight. Even after a later reset, I couldn’t figure out how to bypass it. I tried disconnecting it from wifi through the tv but it kept forcing me to connect it again, or else it wouldn’t proceed. However, I changed the wifi password later and it was surprisingly quiet about it. It constantly flashes the power light when on now, but a little tape keeps it in check.

This is what I see as well. The pro-musk US group hates EVs. The pro-EV US group hates Elon. Then there’s the other 60% of the country that doesn’t have a strong enough opinion to post about it online. I am surrounded by new Teslas despite being a in very blue city metro. It’s obvious because the 3/Y got a facelift during the height of the musk/trump romance

You said “if I remember correctly”. Since ethanol isn’t the same compound as as those found in gasoline, I’m not going to rely on an “if I remember correctly” statement about the specifics when there’s verifiable proof on the road that, regardless of cause, it’s lower. I was confirming your overall claim and agreeing with you.

So anyway, since now I’m driven to look up the specifics, yes, being partially oxidized is part of the problem, but that by itself is not the complete problem. With different compounds it wouldn’t even be relevant. There are gasoline compounds that carry oxygen. C2H5OH (ethanol) is a relatively small molecule compared to the hydrocarbons in gasoline mixtures. Even if it didn’t have that one oxygen atom, it’d still have fewer hydrogens to use than the main components of gasoline. And those gasoline compounds can be arbitrarily longer than their minimum molecule designation.

It’s the single oxygen atom and the fewer total number of hydrogens, combined.

It varies by area. My E85 is well above half e15. Like within a dollar so at recent best, 33% less.

I don’t know the specific reasons, but yes, ethanol is less energy dense. The communities talking about this factually see that the loss in MPGs is pretty close to the average price difference, making it a net zero benefit.

No, it’s not in that summary. The summary calls them rap lyrics, but only states they came from a notebook. A rhyme on paper is poetry. Nothing in the article makes them truly rap lyrics. Nothing about recording or performing prior to arrest, just that he wanted to be a rapper. Yes, they were very likely it ended to be rap lyrics and were definitely interpreted as rap lyrics by the jury. It’s not exactly fair to call them rap lyrics because the article is playing up the racial inequality, but, at the same time, it really is important to highlight the differences on public opinion of poetry.

Though his love of writing has remained constant, the form of Broadnax’s poetry has changed over the years. Today it is spoken word, but as a teenager back in the aughts it was rap. Broadnax’s dream was to become a successful rapper. He would fill entire notebooks with handwritten rap lyrics. Next month, that old habit could cost him his life.

I take back what I said in 2020. Turns out the president can control gas prices. Bombing an oil-significant country does that effectively.

Pretty sure the front fell off, given the rear clearly states it’s OK

Number of infected and rate of spread was higher in higher density areas.

Call me dreamy-eyed, but the reference to “machine learning” might mean this person has respect for what the technology is and has been for decades before the chatbot flood

The experience varies every case between the person, the vaccines, the variant, underlying issues, etc. Two holidays in a row, my family got it. In Jan 2021, our first experience and before any of us had vaccines, whatever we got knocked me out for 7 days but gave my dad a cold for 3 days. Jan 2022, round 2 but after a mix of vaccines, I got a tickle in my throat for a few days but it knocked my dad on his ass for a week.

What was last holiday season’s variant, razor throat? There’s multiple variables. We may be improving our immune responses over time as a whole, but logically, the reason we’re hearing about variants spreading fast is because they’ve varied into something more successful. That includes, typically, something that improves its rate of spread. Don’t rule out spread caused by trying to care for the immensely sick.

And again, the population will be affected disproportionately based on population density, which happens to correlate strongly with political leanings.

And it’s not always treatable with shampoo. At some point, dandruff is dermatitis, and at some point after that, dermatitis may be psoriasis. If OTC topicals don’t cut it, check in with a dermatologist. That’s how I learned I also had psoriatic arthritis, as it was resolved with prescribed medication
