I know youâ(TM)re being snarky, but technically speaking, the pope is only considered to be infallible when speaking âoeEx Cathedraâ ie âoefrom the chair.â It has only happened once since 1870, and under current doctrine must be a statement related to a matter of faith or doctrine.

Realistically, these kinds of issues will rarely be commented on by the pope, and even if they are they would only be a (well respected) opinion.

The whole point of HomeKit is that it doesn't require cloud infrastructure to operate locally. When you are home and do a homekit application, it happens directly, not through a cloud service.

I was a âoegive me gas, or give me deathâ kind of guy until I picked up an induction cooktop for my sailboat.

That thing is amazing. The only thing it really falls down at is where you want to go low and slow. But thatâ(TM)s probably more to do with it being a cheap plug in unit rather than the technology itself.

Unfortunately, running the 30A circuit for a full sized unit in my condo is virtually impossible. Also, induction doesnâ(TM)t help with baking tasks.

Print Classifieds were one of the larger revenue sources for newspapers. Craigslist and eBay pretty much gutted that revenue source. Without the revenue, the industry has withered away.

The reality is that a good, solid CS education has generally involved very little programming. CS, at its core, is applied math, logic, and various conceptual architectures, algorithms, etc

Yes, you pick up programming because you have to do the course in something, but with a solid programming, the language and technology itself doesn’t really matter. Hell, by the time people graduate, most technologies they have learned are obsolete. But the concepts, the actual knowledge is there. If you just teach the technology, that’s pointless.

By definition, they are operating within the borders of Canada, as they have offices here, operations here, data centers, here, and customers here. Even if they didn't have one square foot of property here, they would still be operating here since they have customers here.

I work for a defense contractor that supplies equipment and systems to various navies across the world. In our case, weâ(TM)re happy to train the Navy in maintaining their own systems.

The problem is that with the way that most navies operate, itâ(TM)s very difficult to build up their expertise and competency in doing the actual repair work. Sailors typically post to a ship for a year, or two at most, and are responsible forfor dozens of systems. If your system is generally pretty reliable, that means youâ(TM)re going to drop to the bottom of their brains, and when it does eventually break theyâ(TM)re going to be in trouble.

The only Navy Iâ(TM)ve seen where this is less of an issue is one European Navy. Every ship has both a Chief Warrant Officer and an apprentice who is with that ship for their entire career. They are the senior technical expert on that ship, and are very well compensated. Most of them will spend 20+ years on a given ship, and will know every system intimately.

See subject.

French is more nuanced than that as well, or at least Canadian/Quebec French is. If you are writing in all caps, accents are preserved. If you go and find a picture of the Navy ship HMCS Frederick Rolette, the shipâ(TM)s name is on her side in all caps, and the two Es in Frederick have accents.

And this is the thing⦠you can see it from the comments here: everyone has different preferences and likes different things. The Star Wars universe is huge and there are many different stories to tell. No one has to like everything, no one has to watch everything.

The fact that someone doesnâ(TM)t like Skeleton Crew but likes Andor is fine.

I work for a defense contractor. Shit we sell to the government is very heavily marked up. Why? Because of government requirements. Government mandates that we certify that widget X complies with requirements A thorough ZZ. We have to verify each requirement, back it up with paperwork and testing, and all of that takes people and labour to achieve.

From most chemical analysis that has been done on the surface, Martian soil/dust is thoroughly saturated with perchlorates. These are toxic and highly oxidizing chemicals, basically a component of many solid rocket fuels.

Mars is a hostile place to visit.

Cutting cables is a standard part of repairing them. If thereâ(TM)s a fault in the cable, itâ(TM)s not like thereâ(TM)s enough slack to pull it up to the surface to repair it. Instead, they grapple it, cut it, then haul up one end. Splice on a long patch, then lay it back down until they get back to where the other end is, haul that up, splice the patch on, then lay the whole thing down on the sea floor in a big horseshoe shape.

I have one card that has a $600 annual fee. The benefits of the card, to me, more than cover the annual fee. For that $600, But I travel a lot for work.

For that $600 fee, I roll over 250,000 status miles with my airline. That nets me another 55,000 points (worth roughly $1100), banks a year of top tier status for when I eventually don't make status, and makes it pretty trivial for me to earn a $2000 gift card, and not hard to get another $4000 gift card.

But the card is only available for those earing $150k or more, and obviously has a ridiculous annual fee.

In Canada, they're required to print a statement of how long it will take you to pay off your debt if you just make the minimum payment. For me, that number is frequently in the 75+ year range, not because I'm irresponsible, but because I flow large amounts of travel expenses through my card. I technically owe close to $13k right now as I've been away on business for a month. It will get paid off in full 3 or 4 days before the due date.
