How deep are the grooves?

Does a dirty car or airplane negate the benefit?

Why do you think Trump bragged about arming these 'protesters' with firearms months before while Bessent bragged about running a currency crash scheme?

Whatever will young people do if there's nothing to scroll?

Weights and measures would be exactly as it sounds, your Federal government decides what an inch, etc is. It did this in 1866, passing a law that 1 metre = 39.37 inches, or an inch = 25.4000508 mm. And on July the 1st, 1959 declared the yard of exactly 0.9144 metres or 25.4 mm exactly, aligning with the British Commonwealth.
Imagine if different States had different inches, even that 2 millionth of a difference adds up.
Remember too that weights and measures were one of the 1st things regulated in the middle ages, selling under weight bread or meat was a serious crime, so the need to regulate was well known when your country was founded.

Yes, originally the idea was that BC would change to DST in sync with the US western States with the law passed in 2019 IIRC. Then this year the Premier decided to unilaterally change it. The excuse being that with our relationship in the dumps, we were tired of waiting. The cynic view was the change was to distract from the budgets deficit. Now we'll see what happens this winter when the clocks don't change.
Ontario passed a similar law, where they're waiting on NY and Quebec to implement it.

It doesn't seem possible to disentangle LEO lift from missiles with rocket technology so you can understand the argument.

Same with Starlink. We just learned that the attack on the Girl's high school dorm in Luhansk last week was done with four plywood and epoxy drone airplanes with manually targeted rockets strapped to the wings. Strapped to the top of the fuselage was a Starlink mini, per analyst reports (cf. Garland Nixon stream from last night) so operators could guide the rockets into the dormitory.

Perhaps with Exodus Technology's lifters we can get away from rockets for lift. I'm rooting for their success.

Some are blaming AI targeting but that just shows Musk is hip deep in the whole kill stack. Most of his stuff is dual-use, so there is always public cover. Same can be said of NASA of course.

Yes, it is interesting how our countries have evolved. It's the opposite here, originally we had a strong Federal government as we had just watched your civil war. It has evolved to the Provinces having a lot of power and the Federal government less. Partially due to us having a living Constitution. The feds can still use bribery. Healthcare, Provincial thing, the Federal Canada health Act says if the Provinces meet certain criteria, Federal money will be supplied. I think that is how highways work down there.
We also don't have something like the Interstate Trading Clause, it's easier to trade with America then other Provinces, though Trump has motivated us to fix that. It's all a balancing act and part of it is having independent courts. Helps that Judges have mandatory retirement at 75 here.

Luckily the towns etc don't seem to be inclined to randomly change time zones, just decide which side they'll be on, and stay there, while others not near the border don't even consider unilaterally changing their zone.
But yes, things should be local if possible. Here, all the feds do is make suggestions and even let the Territories decide on their own and I'd guess the courts would stop the Federal government from intruding on the Provinces time management if a Province took it to court. Always seemed weird to me that the States were hampered by Congress from deciding on these types of things.

Given the current level of developers involved, I question whether the permissions will always work.

Depends on where a town is more attached. If you're close to the border and the closest big cities are in a different time zone, it might make more sense to align with them. Here in BC, it's the towns that are close to Alberta that decided to be on mountain time rather then pacific and are now wondering which way to go. Or like one town I lived in, officially the time zone boundary went through the town. They decided to stay on MST all year round so in the summer, they aligned with the rest of the Province and in winter, aligned with Alberta.
There's towns on Provincial/State borders too. If the time zone follows the border, it is easier for the town to pick one. Kansas City might be like that.

Ah, like how the Yukon went to permanent DST a few years back and most of BC going to DST this year. Of course in BC, it is up to individual towns etc to decide and along the east they're still debating it.

You'd get a popup to choose the port and grant permissions.

Have you ever flashed a Meshtastic or ESPHome device or updated firmware on a radio transceiver?

That's what they're talking about here.

Electric bikes get far better range per watt. I can get 45 miles on a 500Wh battery without pedal assist, putting my consumption at ~12Wh per mile.

Like this is so basic of a thought exercise that anyone with a brain (or anyone that owns an e-bike) can see this story is utter bullshit.

Yeah, they could have suspended Air France and Airbus's business license for 17 years and given them parole by now.

Corporations as immortal unpunishable sociopaths will seem like one of the craziest ideas in History.

They switched to Mac, not Hackintosh.

If the company were serious they'd buy supported hardware from System76, Framework, Dell, Lenovo, local shop, whomever.

It is true that buying an untested Windows machine and expecting full Linux support on a traditional distro, isn't guaranteed to work.

A rolling Arch or Gentoo might do better, buy why not get the tested ones? Employee time really isn't worth saving a day's wages on a hardware promp discount.
