> I know a family that has a PHEV and it has only a 2 gallon fuel tank since it sips fuel and is expected to run mostly on electricity.
What PHEV has a 2 gallon fuel tank? Name the make and model.
99% of your comment history is shitting on BEVs and renewables. Almost like it was your job.
>The only people who should have admin rights are programmers and IT staff
That's usually a significant portion, if not the majority, of people in a software company.
> Even if a kid wanted to build something the kits really don't come with enough universal and assorted bricks to do so, they really only build the thing in the kit well. They'd need a bunch of expensive kits before they could just sit down and craft a spaceship from their imagination.
If you want boxes of assorted bricks, then buy boxes of assorted bricks: https://www.lego.com/en-us/the...
You don't have to buy themed kits, and you especially don't have to buy the licensed kits (Marvel, Star Wars, etc).
LEGO is expensive, but you can buy used and then wash the bricks. You can get especially good deals in yard sales or local Facebook selling when parents clean out their kids rooms as they leave home. Or just get knockoff bricks which are more like 2 cents a brick new instead of 10-12 cents a brick for new LEGO. They're not *quite* as good, but still fun.
>Remote work is coming to an end
Of the companies that were forced to have remote work the past two years, some will revert to in-office work only, sure. Other companies have realized that the larger candidate pool and the cost savings from smaller offices are good things, and will keep remote as an option. The companies and industries that had remote work before will continue to do so. Remote work has been a thing for decades, even if most people only discovered it the last two years.
While there may be fewer companies offering remote work in a year or two compared to today, I expect the number of companies with remote workers will remain higher than pre-pandemic, now that so many employers and employees have experienced it.
>Trust me if you were fired today your employer would survive just fine with you lol
And you will survive just fine without that employer. You don't need your current employer to offer remote work; just an employer, somewhere. Just like remote work allows employers to hire from a larger candidate pool, remote work allows job seekers to search for work across hundreds or thousands more companies.
This return to work is not about property values.
Return to office. Employees have been working this whole time. Propagandizers try to convince people that work only gets done in an office, which is not true.
True, the NY Times company would benefit from WFH and using smaller offices.
The people that control the NY Times - upper-level executives, board members, and large stockholders - own commercial property as part of their portfolios. They would personally benefit more if people came back to the office and helped boost commercial property values, than if the NY Times saves some money.
Governments want people in offices so that the commercial property (and surrounding businesses, like restaurants) are worth more, which makes more taxes. NYC in particular is pushing in-person work hard. Think about how many people don't live in NYC and just commute in from New Jersey, Long Island, etc... and how many no longer work there in-person.
"I'm trying to fill up office buildings," [NYC Mayor Eric Adams] said Wednesday.
There's other reasons people push returning to office, including nonsensical emotional reasons. But property values is a concern in some cases.
Europe standardized on GSM years ago (vs CDMA). Within the GSM framework we've gone from 2G to 3G to 4G (HSPDA and then LTE) and now 5G.
Standardization does not have to block innovation; it just provides a framework within which to innovate. USB-C itself has evolved already, while retaining the same connector and backwards compatibility.
>But if the front door lock is controlled by the Echo, just move to the nearest window to the device and yell at it.
There's a toggle in Alexa for my smart lock that controls whether it can be unlocked by voice. It's off by default and gives you a big warning if you try to enable it.
If you do ignore the warning and enable unlocking by voice, you have to also set a 4-digit "voice confirmation code".
So yes, yelling attacks will work.. if the attacker also yells the PIN, and the homeowner has turned that feature on in the first place.
1776 started the revolution, but did not form a new government. In 1781 the United States was formed under the Articles of Confederation, which failed. The current Constitution (and thus the current United States) was formed in 1789. So weâ(TM)re actually on United States 2.0.
Why in the world would you demand an incorrect answer?
It says it's using the FreeDOS kernel, but how does it compare to the FreeDOS distribution as a whole? Oh, looks like they answered that:

TL;DR: SvarDOS uses a rolling release so you can never have a stable version to rely on, and it includes non-free software.
The Windows Store (along with other app stores) can enforce security measures as a condition of allowing apps to be listed on the store.
>I gave my resignation letter on a Friday. I gave them 3 weeks to transfer knowledge. I come in on Monday with my office door locks changed and all my personal property, including family photos and expensive vest in the dumpster. All the electronic stuff like phone chargers, drive docks and desk lamps were stolen. Fun times.
Yeah, that's why you take everything home ahead of time. At many jobs, giving notice is rewarded with immediately being walked to the parking lot by security, so better to pack up your things yourself than by some oaf who will break or mangle things. Don't take everything at once, as that's obvious; just take a few things every day.
When people notice your desk looking sparse, tell them something about spring cleaning or minimalism or redecorating. You can have plenty of stuff on your desk - just make sure it's the company's stuff.
Geosynchronous orbit (where most existing internet sats are) is about 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above sea level, or 42,164 km from the center of the Earth. Since we're transmitting from sea level or above, we use that number.
35,786 km / the speed of light = 0.119369247 seconds, or about
If you're only going 100 km up, then your delay is 100 km / the speed of light = 0.000333564095 seconds, or 1 ms for a round-trip. That's why they're estimating 30 ms: 2 ms for two round trips to the sat and 29 ms for the ground.
30 ms is quite achievable. Profitable may be another story.
Right, but that's a shared debt, not paying for someone else's singly-owned debt.
>If I read your statement correctly, if my wife dies, her debts held under her name only are her debts, and even joint ownership property that would get tangled up in her estate aren't subject to settlement of her debts -- like they couldn't force me to refinance the house to take out equity to pay them off.
Wrong. A court may order a joint-owned asset to be sold to satisfy a singly-owned debt.
When you die, all your assets and debts are added up, both singly-owned and joint-owned. If you want to run up a debt before you die, you have to get all assets - including joint assets - out of your name, along with making sure the debts are not joint debts.
>he said that the inheritance remained somehow exclusive to her
Inheritances are a specific exception, and treated just like assets you owned before the marriage. What you do with the funds once married doesn't matter much - the source of the funds matter.
It's not really complex at all. My money is my money, your money is your money, and our money is our money. Anything earned during the course of the marriage (inheritances aren't "earned") is "our" money and normally split 50/50.
You don't even have to do that. Just drop a pin (either search for an address/name, or long-press on a road), and then a photo pops up in the corner, and you click on that to switch to street view.
