It looks like me being unusual with my password needs doesn’t matter, because Mrs. B.S. has informed me that she does, in fact, need to use both mobile and web platforms of LastPass and that we (i.e. me) need to do something about this upcoming policy change. So I think we will need to go for a full family license,…

The only thing on my phone that makes me re-enter the password is the phone itself when it prompts me to re-enter the PIN for “enhanced security”. But the face ID did just stop working one day, so I’m stuck with only fingerprint or PIN now.

Nope. I just don’t seem to use any apps on my phone that need a password. I’m almost always near a computer and just use that bigger screen(s) and keyboard if I ever need to log in to anything. Especially in this pandemic when I almost never go anywhere.

We exist. Or at least I do. I can’t remember the last time I needed to type a password (or use LastPass) on my phone. Everything unlocks with fingerprint or my phone passcode. But I use LastPass extensively for work and home through the website and browser extension. So choosing which platform is a no-brainer for me.…

There was a guy in the Jiu-Jitsu I used to go to club nicknamed “the fluffy bunny”. He was a monster.

“If the Odyssey and minivans generally are so great, how come there isn’t one in every driveway on your block?”

“20 per cent of people are liking it. That fits to the type of customers we are targeting.”

Definitely not junkyard. My dad knew the guy- he had lots of money and had a brand new C5 vette repainted with a different color on each panel. I don’t know if it was the official harlequin color scheme, but it was close. Definitely red, yellow, and blue. Not sure what shade of green or if it even had green. Ghastly.

Not a corvette. I can say this with confidence because I’ve seen one, and it was a travesty. I wish I would’ve taken a picture to prove my point, but I was dealing with multiple small children at the time and it didn’t occur to me to preserve that horror for posterity.

It’s good, but I’m not sure if I like Vanilla ISIS or Y’all-Qaeda better as the name for the people who attempted the recent coup d’tard.

I’m in a similar situation- I wear a P100 dust mask with an exhalation valve because the seal is so good and it doesn’t fog up my glasses. But instead of covering the whole thing with an additional cloth mask I just covered the exhalation valve. My mask wears a mask.

Right there with ya. I remember racing mine back when I was a kid in the 80's. All of the other kids racing had their dad doing repairs and fixing shit, but I was one of the only ones actually working on my own car. It really gave me the confidence to take on more projects and repairs. Maybe even helped lead to my engi…

Thank you- this makes a decent article tolerable to read.

The military doesn’t need to be called in to haul him out of the Oval Office. That’s the job of the Secret Service, and I think that at least some of them who have had to protect him and deal with his crap for the past four years are looking forward to it.

Some spices are fat-soluble. In that case the flavor doesn’t come from the fat, but the flavor is held in the fat.

This really helps explain why Iain M. Banks (Scottish author) chose the spacecraft names he did in the Culture series. I could list some of my favorites, but there are too many- https://theculture.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series

Amen. I think I have the exact same model. But I’ve never heard it called a butter bell before- I thought it was called a french butter dish.

Pretty much, but it’s not that expensive all at once. You can file a patent for a few thousand, but the fees that add up over the 20 year period the patent is good for eventually get to a high number. It looks like the $1M stuck in my head is for contentious ones that require lots of litigation and the average is…

Patenting things is absurdly expensive and labor intensive. I’ve heard estimates of $1M for the life of a patent. He could go for the high risk-high reward route of trying to patent these ideas...or he could just keep writing articles for his usual paycheck.

If you publish an idea here and someone tries to patent it they should not be able to, as the idea was in the public domain. I see that Toyota was actually first here, but I am looking forward to the eventual, and inevitable, lawsuit to invalidate a patent where the attorneys use one of Torch’s articles as evidence of…
