Anyone on call should be able to set their car to preheat if they receive a call from a specified list of phone numbers, or specific alerts from PagerDuty etc.

I've been wondering about the scam ads on YouTube. I never see ads for real products anymore. Just those ads about the one weird trick.

Heck yeah! Then you probably roll coal on them, leavinbg a coexist shaped cloud of unburned fuel in your wake. Right before the whole neighborhood stands up and claps for you.

I wish we could go back to discussing if this year is finally the year of Linux on the desktop. Ummm... I mean the laptop. I don't know the last time I saw an actual desktop computer.

That's very restrictive. Are they checking out immigration status now too?

I said he was doing OK. Not great. That's the point of the Baby Bells. You do OK and have stability. It's like a government job. Sure, you can take risks and continually improve and do great. That's awesome for you. Everyone can't do that. You don't need to insult the people that didn't do exactly like you. I also hope you have a good evening.

You could maybe stretch this to the 3 hrs, 300 miles rule of thumb that RV drivers use. I'm tired of having my travel plans messed up by other people's vehicle accidents. Something needs to change. https://www.rv.com/lifestyle-t...

They should change the law for EVs to make 80% show 100%, and 100% show 120%. This way people would see a full charge at a high speed charger in the 20 minutes. Let's all agree that the gas guage also includes a fudge factor, so this isn't a huge deal.

Those are great points, but if you've used the Duolingo app you would knife that it doesn't teach new perspectives or cultures. It teaches vocabulary and generic pronunciation.
