If these were highly remote locations and getting a human to them in time to fix a problem was going to be a challenge, then maybe remote controllability would be important. But this is a damn supermarket; there's going to be somewhere there or nearby constantly. Dear Lord.

There's no reason that there can't be a thermometer and controls built in, and only accessible from the back. Add on a clipboard with pages printed with lines for date, time, temperature, initials and you have a way to keep track of the temperature without outside access. Add on controls to adjust things and you've got everything you need.

I remember an episode of NCIS where McGee used a paint gun to cover the lenses of some surveillance cameras so that DiNozo could get into a junk yard and retrieve some evidence they needed.

Please note that in the text I quoted, only satellite relativistic corrections were listed, and those have nothing to do with particle physics.

"Don't forget GPS satellite relativistic corrections!"

That came from studying Special Relativity, not Particle Physics. A completely different branch of physics altogether.

I remember reading a history book about the Battle of Midway (No, I don't remember the name any more.) that mentioned that the IJN ran on Tokyo Time no matter where they were. As the fleet included transports carrying soldiers to invade Midway after "dealing" with the USN, the soldiers, mostly poorly educated peasants, were left wondering why the sun was rising at 3 AM. Now, imagine what it would be like for children who never bothered to go to school if we try year-round DST again. That's not an argument against the idea, just an observation about one of the side effects of doing so.

The longer you leave the old heart in a young person, the younger it gets. That way, you don't have to go through the transplant surgery as often.

except on reddit where moderation typically deletes wholesale sections of threads because wrongthink.

And that's why I specified "as practiced here," meaning on Slashdot. I don't visit Reddit or know anything about how it works, and didn't include them in my statement. Please don't assume that I meant anything other than exactly what I wrote.

If you'll take a moment or two to check the state's history, you'll learn that when Spain ruled, the name of the province was "Nuevo Mexico," or New Mexico.

Actually, I think that they scramble the planes while they're double checking. Then they don't have them go past a certain point unless they get the GO signal, and if they do, they're a lot closer. This gives them a head start if it's for real, but also gives them enough time to turn around safely if it's a false alarm.

Exactly. Censorship attempts to make it impossible for people to see and/or read whatever's been censored. Moderation, as practiced here, only makes it slightly more difficult because you can always click on the down-modded post's link and see what was hidden.

One part is the desktop search engine nobody uses anymore.

Then why is it still there? If you feel that you must keep it, at least make it optional.

I'd think that under the circumstances, replacing Donald with Daffy would make sense. And in the one sequence where he's turned into a baby, use Baby Plucky from Tiny Toons.

The VA uses a form of 2FA that's provided by a third-party (I've run across it on other sites once or twice.) that will use either text messages or email, your choice. What you get by text (I've not tried email.) is a six digit one-time code that you use to confirm your ID. If you run across a site wanting to use ID.ME to authenticate you, it's safe to use. I've been using it for several years and had no trouble.

It'll be Turtles All the Way Down. :-)

I wonder what Great A'Tuin thinks about that.

Back in the '90s I was chatting with a skript-kliddie who actually had an AOL logon like that. He figured that none of the CS drones could type it in right to nuke his account. You should have seen his face when I said the magic words: "copy and paste."
