So I guess, like Buzz Lightyear, it is falling....with style.

Would that be the (Jeremy) Clarkson University? I know what he would say. "The Model M is the best keyboard.........IN THE WORLD!"

I find that the unicomp keyboards feel "good enough" compared to the model M keyboards. The only problem is having it in the bedroom when the significant other is trying to take a nap.

I am living in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. Windstream is the sole provider and we get DSL that delivers 140kbps max.

Actually mining most iron deposits are just the same thing as pulling the stuff from the sea. They come from a time when oxygen was released into the atmosphere, the world rusted and the rust settled onto the bottom of the sea.

This makes sense to me. It seems that communities (cities or states or whatever) seem to think they have the ability to determine whether self-driving vehicles are allowed on their streets. (This is not something I had thought about until the last couple of years.) Given that, the same governments should be allowed to determine if the sale of a device that turns a vehicle into a self-driving vehicle is allowed.

Except for the fact that a higher fraction of intercity cargo in the US is carried on trains than in Europe. Our freight trains are very competitive with trucking without government subsidies. In the case of Amtrak this makes it worse in that they will buy time on the freight tracks, but lack to priority on the tracks to keep to schedules at times.

So what is better, recycling as e-waste or just throwing into the landfill? There are a variety of things for which I am no longer certain. For example, what to do with old smoke detectors.

I wonder if I can say "Alexa, are you up to date on your patches?" It turns out "she" didn't know what I was talking about.

I bought the Roku XD|S because it has a toslink connector on the back.

At work I learned of simple and chemical asphyxiants. I presume that most rocks (along with concrete) would represent simple asphyxiants. I think it will become a bigger deal once transporter technology is ubiquitous.

Having responded as a volunteer firefighter/emergency medical provider (you have volunteered, right?), I can say that in the USA, it is a 911 caller working with an EMS dispatcher that determines the alacrity of an ambulance response. Presumably the dispatcher uses a tool such as the one described in TFA, but the caller is the one describing the situation. Insurance has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. If your condition is immediately life threatening you will be treated (even without your consent if you are unconscious). I know that everyone wants to say that the US system of emergency medicine is broken, but it isn't. I imagine that you will be billed an unknowable quantity at some time in the future, but that is after you have survived what might have been a deadly situation.

You mean there is an imaginary component?

It was well done. It described what many people use Google for.
