Sometimes outside car thermometers are so inaccurate that they feel like random number generators. They’re basically the worst feature of the car, next to the car’s infotainment systems. That’s because [...] they’re actually thermistors.

Science is perfectly fine, thanks. It’s the scientifically illiterate writers and “journalists” who parrot PR pieces or misinterpret (willfully or not) regurgitated abstracts to sell papers/magazines/views that are the real problem.

More of these!!!

You are very fortunate to have a store that carries them. I’ve very rarely seen anything other that white button mushrooms & Portabellas here. We do have some other wild ones around here in the Ozarks that show up in town. Just have to keep a lookout at the right time, while driving around. Two that grow in yards: Big…

So the morel of this story is.... cleanse before nom nom nom...

I feel like if you’re going to try and sell people this, you should at least mention the major downside relative to others: it doesn’t have its own controls. The only way to control it is by connecting your phone.

Ehhh...unpopular opinion, but duck fat fries always felt like doing surgery with a hand grenade to me. They may elevate the humble fry, but there’s a line between “elevate” and “achieve escape velocity” that the dish too often crosses.

Just make sure

Is this just a thing for private schools? Did I skim over that somewhere? All of the Universities I attended or applied to had their tuition and fees listed publicly somewhere. The only differences were for in state or out of state residents.

MP3s do not work “terribly”. To almost everybody, they sound perfectly fine at 192kbps and above. They serve the same purpose as JPEGs do for images.

Yeah, but that was true a month ago, and MP3s were still good enough for most people, and most widely supported. The only thing that has changed is that the Frauenhofer Institute can’t make money off of MP3 anymore, but they can on some other formats.

AAC may be the “defacto” standard on Apple devices but most definitely, not the rest of the computing world!

This is really two stories muddled together. The first story—that licensing of MP3 patents has stopped—has nothing to do with the longevity of the technology. In fact, if it’s no longer legally restricted, we might see a resurgence in integration and use (like the GIF). The idea that someone giving up their…

I’m also an advocate of what my safety instructor (and police officer) recommended: Take little Johnny and let him handle/touch your unloaded firearms. Do this a few times, and the firearm won’t be such an exciting unknown, because they know they can see it if they ask.

Best way to avoid accidents with guns... Get a good gun safety education and get your CHILDREN to gun safety classes. the worst thing you can do is treat guns like an evil boogyman and only use scary words. Children absolutely need to understand a gun is not a toy, and that you only point it at things you want dead…

Usually blue is drinking water, yellow is gas (or other flammable substances) , green sewer, and orange utilities like cable TV. I’ve also seen people spray bright green or bright orange to point out tripping hazards, like a sidewalk that has lifted in a section.

I buried my underwear at scout camp one time. For an entirely different reason.

Fair enough.

[Serious] If my Senators are committed and passionate opponents to my positions, is there any real point?
