In fact, I would be a little concerned about a Velcro effect…

Interesting. Our gas bill (hot water, dryer, and furnace) is around $50/month in the summer and about $275/month in the winter (aka the furnace).

@jolly read down in the article. Teh Dersh makes the point that this is a serious Brady violation.

Small, religious-based, liberal arts colleges are the bastion of tolerance and acceptance? Who'd a thunk it?

I think Covid has had more of an impact than government, however US policy has made it a little worse than elsewhere. (Disclaimer: didn't watch the video)

"Reins of Terror" Great thread title. I'm sure DHS bridled at the request.

My Mac Mini is slow And once you get into an overnight update, 2 hours is about the same as 8 hours The Mac development environment update took over 8 hours a few weeks ago, that thing is a pig

@mik said in New Ford patent holds items in place in truck bed: Good question. Induction ranges do. I looked that up, because I'd not read that before. One study showed that it can be a problem if the pacemaker is unipolar (where the cathode is at the tip of the wire, and the anode is the pacemaker box itself). The long distance between wire and box can, if you will, act like an antenna, picking up extraneous signals. In the last 25 years that I was working, I don't think I ever saw a unipolar pacemaker implanted, though I'm sure there are still a lot of them out there. Currently almost all implanted pacemakers are bipolar, with anode and cathode being close to each other at the tip of the wire.

Monday was the last day of duck season down here. Tell them to come on down to where the water ain't solid. It's safe now.

Nothing controversial has been able to pass for a while… Build Back Better, the Election Reform Bills, the Filibuster change…
