If I had to guess: there is probably no accurate way to date the ice like they can date the bedrock.

But that is really sort of a false difference: Fares only go up. When will the next fare increase happen? I bet it will be some time inside 6 months, and then Economy Basic will be the new Economy. Doing it in two steps just lets them spin it as “choice” instead of “cutting services”.

I kind of had the same feeling. I would never have guessed that first part was any sort of live acting or mo-cap. her turn at the end came out of nowhere for me. It might just be the angle; head on we get a very clear view of the lips and teeth, but the turned angle is less clear.

Trimming the SNES library to 30 games is much harder than the NES.

Definitely bigger than a DS. If Nintendo decides to go with the “one console to rule them all” mentality, it is probably because they decided that the market for a truly portable mobile system has been too far absorbed by mobile phones. I don’t know what DS sales are like these days, but phone gaming can’t be helping.

There is a set process for a tie, but not for what happened in Bush v Gore. That was a dispute over how votes were counted. Presumably, some other argument over the propriety of some part of the election process may be brought to court.

Yes, because an explosion in my pocket is about the same level of inconvenience as a broken button with a built-in workaround...

I might consider driving this. It would probably get me everywhere I go (driving in the desert, dried up lake beds, rough trails, but no rock crawling, occasional shallow mud). Only problem is that I am sure it will prioritize road comfort and sleek looks over functionality. Give it good tire clearance, give it more…

As mentioned in the article... They are only automatically downloading, not installing. This is to make it appear to be magic when you do choose to upgrade (“What!? How can it upgrade without download time?”) and will suck for people who need the disk space, but should not have much effect on most others.

But it certainly would not have been worth the legal trouble of selling it out from under the University...

Yes. At least he is doing it out in the open. Hopefully he cleaned up well after. As far as full hand immersion, I would also be concerned about small breaks in the skin.

I see at the very end he mentions that mercury is not absorbed through the skin. I think this is a dubious claim... It may not be absorbed as fast as mercury nitrate, but I still would not be sticking my hands in it.

Gloves dude! He is probably fine, but damn, that stuff absorbs through the skin. Surprisingly satisfying to watch though.

It does not really take a couple of beats on the iPhone either. You can say your whole command with the “Hey Siri” and it will catch it. If you say “Hey Siri” with no command, you will get Siri to load as if you pressed the button, but you don’t need to wait for that. For instance, when being supremely lazy at night,…

If there is clearance for it, rewiring with a larger socket is not so hard. That is what I did to get Hue bulbs in my ceiling fan. The important points are making sure you have enough diameter for the socket and making sure that whatever glass or shade you have will fit the bigger bulbs (and of course making sure the…

My impression is that this will change the name of the device in your Amazon account, but not the hostname that you see on the network. The hostname on Kindle devices is just gibberish.

I use a Norse mythological theme for all of my equipment. My iPhone is Bragi. My home wifi is Yggdrasil. All of my flash drives are valkyries. My Macbook is Tyr and my home server is Odin. Sometimes I wish I had more named devices so that I could use more of the pantheon. Sadly, e-ink Kindles do not allow you to set…

I came specifically to make sure this was in the comments. Good job.

*sigh* Literally the only two use cases I really want for third party Siri integration.

Oh, it definitely has a mic. It just has no input for an external mic. I have played around using it for home videos and I am quite happy with the results, but I would definitely not recommend it if advanced video work is in your future.
