With voice they are storing voice and the information conveyed by your voice.. With facial recognition and fingerprints the information doesn’t carry additional information except maybe that you make a specific expression to unlock your phone. They are not storing your face or fingerprints either, but at worst an…

The tissue box was awful in every way. Not enough cooling, and odds are people would put stuff on top of it and make it worse. Which pretty much just left it with looking cool, except that the clear plastic tended to crack. I suspect from heat stress, but it could be any number of things.  Awful machines. 

The pushback is because rather than just mandating it for hunting, they regularly try to use lead ammo bans to ban recreational shooting. Lead ammo on an outdoor range where they treat with lime and phosphate isn’t going anywhere. So when your fairly sensible plan is co-opted by the gun control crowd, you are treated…

At $0.88 annually on a $168 stock price, I don’t know that people are holding the stock for the dividends. 

That seems an odd price point. That would suggest that no large LCD tvs or 4k tvs shipped at the $501 price point except to the one percent, and tons of those shipped at $1k+. I mean best buy doesn’t stay open selling to the one percent. Granted we are talking about $5k here which is pretty steep still, but the…

but probably not even that with transmission losses. It’s not a small place. 

Wouldn’t it be disappointing if it was just a giant condom with fluorescent coating being blown up and lit with a really bright UV led?

They smear because it’s raining wrong. 

You make great points, but I think you are leaving something out from point 1.

Any time you have a great speed disparity the hazard for one or all parties involved shoots through the roof. With lane splitting you may have people dealing with traffic at 15mph when a motorcyclist lane splits at 30+. The space the motorcycle is using doesn’t exist while someone is changing lanes.

When they clearance last years models, there have always been a tone of the base spec machines being cleared out. They will exist. You just won’t want them. Which I guess is why they are always part of the clearance. 

My best guess is it’s a streaming box, but in both directions. You can consume or create content on it. If they are smart, my guess is it’s a peer to peer replacement for both youtube and DNS. If you made something you seed it. If you like something, seed it. people with deeper pockets can likely put bigger, non…

yeah don’t ever buy these if you can get a window unit that’ll do the job. I own one for a finished attic with teeny windows. It costs more to run and lasts about half as long. If you can get one delivered without it having been damaged. 

The first one wasn’t good. It was mediocre. It was less of a turgid, grimdark slog, but it was still the goto DC formula of origin story some shit and put some CGI monster that looks kind of like the last DC CGI boss monster. Dark, barely visible, some fire shooting out of the eyes and such... feel free to choose any…

Given the nature of human hearing, you aren’t going to be able to tell a distinct difference from memory. But there are VAST differences in the sound of various headphones. I mean open backed vs closed back vs in ear are going to all sound massively different plugged into the same source listening to the same music.…

My voet is grandview. It’s the only font on the list that I and l are distinguishable. Unfortunately is it the font where O and 0 are least different, but they are still different. 

I love my G915tkl. The low profile mechanical keys plus being able to swap between my desktop and laptop with a button are the awesomest parts.

A lot of big box stores use the roof for light. Those that don’t often already have panels. At least around by me they do. They just aren’t massive solar farms. I suspect in part because of load ratings. Solar panels aren’t light, and their presence doesn’t mean you won’t have snow piling up on the roof as well and…

Well it’s not particularly visually appealing. Kind of “generic pg-13 action movie” bland looking. I have no idea what the narrative actually might be other than it has some sort of mortal kombat death match knock off going on in it. It doesn’t seem to really be an existing property or if it is it’s pretty obscure.…

That’s what my memory said too. But I just finished cruising around several e-tailers, and most of the treadmills seem to have an open rear like the peloton these days. However they do seem to all have a thinner tread? floor? this bit you run on on... and thus more space underneath.
