The distribution of rainfall was odd, though; I was looking at one of the weather sites’ maps and their precipitation gauge data, and saw one site near me showing 7.97 inches of rain, while two others less than a half mile away were showing 0.0 and 0.01 inches. Over the San Diego area, the rainfall seemed to fall…

That would be forcing Iger to do something objectively repulsive... for Iger. Better to pick one of the audio-animatronic figures from the Hall of Presidents, make sure it’s appropriately equipped, and have it take care of cornholing DeSantis. With the appropriate external power sources, it should be able to go for hou…

With grocery stores, it’s an artifact of their checkout lane design; they’re set up to have separate cashier and bagger, with the cashier moving items to the output belt as they’re scanned, where they move past the easy reach of the cashier (and baggers were the norm for many years before the introduction of barcode…

To be fair, with other grocery stores, you can get shafted by their staffing. I’ve stacked up my purchases on the belt so that they will get scanned in an order that allows them to be bagged properly, but if there’s no one available to do the bagging, the cashier will grab one of the bags I’ve brought, stick it on the…

We might need to survive on Mandarin Orange Chicken, but who’s complaining?

an option could be to tweak some of your sandwich ingredients, maybe change the type of bread or get a sandwich stamp to make it feel more like an uncrustable.

Much of the industry is experimenting to see what works, and what doesn’t...

It’s fine during the install, but some Windows features—most importantly the Microsoft Store app—won’t work with this region setting.

Yes -- because it doesn’t matter how destructive our practices are to the environment, as long as that destruction is taking place way off on the other side of the world, where we’ll never see it and can pretend that it doesn’t exist -- all the carbon-free solar panels and wind turbines just appear out of thin air.

“The MEPA limitation violates plaintiffs’ right to a clean and healthful environment,” today’s ruling said.

I see it the other way; it doesn’t matter whether anyone sees you doing good or not as long as you are doing good — and someone doing good, with no one but the beneficiaries learning of it, solely because it’s the right thing to do, is to my mind a better person than someone who has to have publicity so that they can…

Unfortunately, because of the two-party system, the little groups have learned that the only way they have a chance in hell of getting anything they want enacted into law is to join one of the two main parties. As a result, instead of the two parties being mostly-monolithic groups based on shared philosophies, they’re…

The National Firearms Act of 1934, IIRC. It required a background check and paying $200 for a permit to own a fully-automatic weapon; the NFA was passed under Congress’ power to tax under Article 1, § 8, cl. 1 of the Constitution. In 1986, Congress passed the Firearms Owner Protection Act, banning the possession of…

It’s also going to have to be dedicated rail lines; having to play second fiddle to the freight rail service that functionally owns the rail trunks is one of the biggest obstacles to higher-speed passenger rail in the US.

It’s no more screwed up than Amazon’s search engine, which seems to be driven more by “show them something more-or-less maybe related to what they are looking for, because they might buy that, too” than “help them find what they’re looking for. I was on a page for Don Miguel burritos, but not the particular type I was…

Nooo... Let them keep their testosterone substitutes. And besides, how would we know who we should be surreptitiously laughing at without the obvious overcompensation indicators like these?

And you should consider what the bread brings to the French toast other than just being a medium to soak up the custard. Some years ago, I had part of a loaf of a yeasted cranberry-orange bread I’d baked that had started to go stale, and decided to make French toast with it, and it was amazing; it has since become my…

HIPPA is not enough

You would be compensated for the amount of power they take. The extra charge/discharge cycles grinding down your battery capacity and life? That’s all your cost.

I’m not entirely sure how “GUI Automation using Python”relates to certification in Powershell, considering that Python and Powershell are two completely distinct languages, and Python would be more useful for Macintosh or Linux systems, not Windows.
