Pantone colors are supposedly very specific physical colors, so the RGB or CMYK values will depend on the color correction settings. For most people, it’s a meaningless distinction, but for marketing and magazine publishers, it can be a big difference.

Just saying it can be “the largest campaign finance fine ever” and also still be a wrist-slap.

Do you know of any larger fines for campaign finance law violations? Anywhere?

It’s amazing what they could learn from a single seismic sensor. Imagine what they could do if they had 3 or 4 landers running concurrently, so they could properly triangulate the origins of the seismic activity.

You’re talking about a different market: the market of which device to buy. Here we are talking about the market of how to sell your app to iPhone users. It’s possible to have a monopoly in one market and not the other.

Not just that, but many such cards take the ~3% they get and give 1/3 to 2/3 of it back to the cardholder as either direct rebates or points. They have so much automated that the 1% remaining is enough to still make a profit. I can’t imagine Apple has so much overhead in the App Store.

Or the Leonov from Arthur C Clarke’s 2010: Odyssey Two.

Who fails to read the manual when they buy a new car, especially one with so much tech? When I bought my hybrid, I knew all about the battery disconnect and HV jump start in the first day, even though I wouldn’t need either for a decade.

Crawfish do like to swim backwards.

Dogs were domesticated to work with a human at a task, so communication and cooperation were characteristics we bred for. Cats were domesticated primarily as pest control, where independence was favorable.

One of the proposed designs, (though not the one currently being used) had space suits which docked/connected to the living area instead of going through an air lock. That way the suit’s dirty outside never mixed with the pressurized interior.

They have ways to deal with it on the station. Hair would only be a real problem (maybe) around the hatch seal, which is why it gets inspected before closure. The air circulation system has filters to catch things like that once they reach zero-G. Humans are messy things, especially when they live up there for 6…

Not just pew-pew, but pew-pew that is ordered without being repetitive.

15 years ago? Totally need a new scan if they want to match any live action stuff.

Can you really call it highway legal if the 0-60 is infinite? This is road legal, perhaps.

You have a section about poor planning, and then you show an October calendar with 31 on the wrong day of the week! I get that it’s a stock photo, but still.

What other option is there to provide accountability, besides a decapitation? We rebuilt Germany and Japan after WWII, but only because the allies took effective control over those countries. It could not have worked if they had used a conditional surrender and retained power.

We’re changing more than the name. We’re changing the color, and maybe moving some icons around so you can’t find them with muscle memory.

If climate change could be fixed by a few Starship launches, we would have fixed it already. Fortunately, we are getting to the point that an asteroid redirect does not require the cooperation and funding of the entire population. Musk, or someone with similar resources, could do it themselves if nobody blocks them. If…

Except there was a documented and published process to disable and countermand the MCAS error. It was at least partly pilot error if they didn’t read it.
