That’s a pretty good one, and I love stupid jokes like that so it may have changed my whole stance on the issue.

So what, run a 10 foot cord from the shower to an outlet next to your sink? Since an outlet can’t be within 6 feet of the edge of your shower that seems dangerous.

That’s ambiguous whether you’re including singular they or not. Your child and the friends could have gone, or just the friends.

I guess yeah, if the construction is ambiguous to begin with then gendered pronouns can help to “detangle” the situation. But a pronoun should have the context to make the subject obvious. “Alex talked to Bob about it last week. Can you follow up with him?” is just as ambiguous as “Alex talked to the development team…

Well, sure, but that’s an ambiguous construction no matter what. In your particular example I would assume the pirates were falling upon the captain, because it would be weird to say that an individual fell upon a group like a storm rather than the opposite. Sure, you could save that sentence by saying “The captain…

Can you give an example of when you would need to clarify? I’m really struggling to think of a construction where it would not be obvious from context.

Yeah, it really comes down to the cost-benefit of the turbine. Would you pay $20-30 more to extend the battery life slightly? Some would but others would not. I’m sure Kohler did the analysis and decided it’s not worth it.

An Alexa speaker would draw more power when it’s blasting than an LED certainly

I was hoping this, too, and I’m an electrical engineer. I thought you could just stick a turbine on the pipe and be golden.

One thing to note - you don’t need to “frantically download” anything if you cancel Amazon Prime. I'm currently over my storage limit for videos and you simply can't upload anymore. You don't lose anything that's already there.

As a Sonos One owner I have to disagree. It does sound much better than the competition, I’ll give you that. But the Google Assistant integration is terrible. It only supports a single profile, meaning if you have multiple people with Google accounts in your house you are SOL. You can only get personalized results for…

I’m not saying the games are super difficult, but the challenge comes from the possibility of failing objectives and losing the game that way. You’re unlikely to die, but you might lose control of your base or not complete an objective in time causing you to fail.

I hover around 5-6% utilization and still have an 800+ credit score. Is it really worth stressing to get it down to 1% when you can maintain a great score without doing that?

Sorry, didn’t see your reply until now. If that’s what he meant, fine, but that’s not what he said.

The masks are primarily to prevent the wearer from spreading possible infection. People refusing to wear masks are not putting themselves at substantially more risk, they are putting everyone around them at an increased risk.

The original Doom. Thy Flesh Consumed probably pushes it over the 5 hour mark but honestly is my least favorite episode so we'll say Doom rather than The Ultimate Doom. The gameplay is still great and it's perfect for a quick run through.

I’m not sure you’re understanding 4K correctly. A “2K” (1080p) TV has 1920 columns and 1080 rows (what you’re calling “lines”). A “4K” TV has 3840 columns and 2160 rows. An “8K” TV has 7680 columns and 4320 rows.

Even if the battery is exactly the advertised capacity, you lose power to resistance on the path between the charger's battery cells and your phone's battery.

Get Packed was announced about two months before this, so I’d say it’s the other way around.

It depends on the purpose of the meeting. For a project meeting? I don’t see much value. For my team meeting with all my direct reports? I like to add the video there.
