Solar noon is 1 pm during summer hours, not 11 am.

I would say it's a rotten move to link to a fake third-party "concept trailer" which has no relation to what the actual movie will be like.

Even though the trailers for Rogue One were also full of content not found in the movie, and those were official.

And how does that compare with the recidivism rate of those in prison for life?

Every fast food restaurant that makes you use a kiosk to order I've found there are interface design problems that make it difficult for a non-frequent user to navigate through. Ordering from a menu and a human cashier is so much easier and faster than these poorly designed kiosks.

The bigger issue though is that the kiosk ticket printer is always out of paper. And -- the kiosk is not designed to recognize when the printer is out of paper, nor inform the employees to restock the paper, nor inform the customer that their order cannot be printed, but the order screen assumes you got your receipt anyway and giving no consideration to the matter, it instantly resets back to the home screen after your order is supposedly finalized, making it so you have no receipt, no record of your order, no order number, no indication at all of whether or not your order was successfully processed. Whoever designed these systems are utter morons. I won't set foot inside a McDonald's or Taco Bell again because of the problems those kiosks have.

2 year contracts that included the hardware in the monthly service payment are not new! That used to be the only way you could buy mobile phones. Until a decade ago, when things opened up and mid-tier unlocked phones became an option. Let's not go back to forced contracts, shall we.

Campaign signs can't be forbidden in the U.S. The ACLU has made it clear that if a town tries to enforce its sign laws on your signs that are on your property, it will fight the town in court based on free speech. Therefore there is nothing anyone can do about the spammy proliferation of campaign signs placed on private property, besides complain about it on the internet. So don't tell us we should mount a campaign against it, such campaigning would go nowhere.

This is aside from the far more widespread problem of campaign signs being placed illegally on other people's property and on public property. But no one seems to want to talk about that problem for some reason. Everyone would rather fret over the far smaller percentage of signs placed legally on your own property.

I've noticed that Reddit opinion can go one way in a post, then weeks or months later there will be another post on the exact same topic and the general opinion could just as easily go the same way or swing the opposite way. It seems to depend how the sentiment starts off in the comments for that post, then everyone piles on the bandwagon. Which indicates that the behavior of the masses is based more on following a trend than on forming opinions based on facts. It's disheartening.

One reason is because idiot auto engineers decided to illuminate the dashboard at all times instead of putting them on the headlight switch. So with LED DRLs lighting the way, oblivious drivers have no indication that the rest of their exterior lights are off. Before LEDs, they were doing the same thing with those god-awful high-beam DRLs.

The Pixel 5a actually costs $50 less than the Pixel 4a 5g which came before.

The Pixel 5a costs more than the Pixel 4a because that one did not have 5g wireless.

No doubt someone at Apple got tired of all the screenshots with 69 F at 4:20 PM being posted to Reddit every day with a title of "nice".

This is also affecting Windows 7. There is next to no indication in the warning message about which program or file is triggering the warning. As is typical, Microsoft's error messages are incredibly vague and unhelpful.

I don't get why everyone misspells it "Penny". I mean the store's been around for decades, and its name is right there in the headline for you to reference.

"He makes money at it" is not an excuse for engaging in unethical or criminal activity. It disturbs me how many people in this country share your philosophy.

Cold-call telemarketing is not a legitimate profession, no matter whether you're a high level exec or a low-level phone monkey. The good news is now these people can go get ethical jobs, so it's win-win.

Summary tries to beat it into our heads that we don't want any more Terminator movies. Not true. We just don't want to see bad movies. This one does not seem to offer anything worth clamoring for, so it can wait for the Blu-ray. It doesn't give off the sense of style and dread of the first two. And whatever happened to a cast that focuses on a simple "here's the bad guy, this is the good guy, these two are the victims to be saved"? Now it's a GoT-like mess of random characters from all over the place that instead of advancing the pursuit of justice and escape from evil, they're just there for drama. Go away drama, bring back action.

Depends on the state. In Oregon you're technically supposed to stop on yellow if you can. But,

"In most states, as long as the front of your vehicle entered the intersection before the light turned red, you haven't broken the stoplight law."

Banning people from simply "being" in an intersection when the light turns red, often because traffic wouldn't allow you to turn left until after the red, is a recipe for an unwinnable situation.
